The Miserable Life of Rein

Chapter 5: The Aftermath

I watched the paramedics remove his body from the car . Still shaking covered in his blood, I stood there staring; waiting for him to get back up and come towards me and kiss me . I don't understand . Who would kill Julian ? My baby didn't mess with nobody he was just as calm as- The drug deal . It was them. They killed him I know they did! They just couldn't let go of the situation, so they killed him! Lord , Julian why did you have to make that stupid ass deal?! Now look where you are-dead. A detective approached me, but I was too stuck in my thoughts to speak to him.

Detective: *trying to get my attention* Hello, Miss Hernandez? I'm Detective Lowery and I will be investigating your -

Me: My Fianceé. *staring into space*

Detective L: Your fianceé's murder . Do you mind telling me what happened?

Me: I got nauseaus and called him to come get me since he was at work just blocks away . Once we got to the light a black escalade with tented windows pulled up exactly beside us and shot Julian . I seen the car behind us previously but I didn't see who shot my baby. *starts crying*

Detective L: *comforts me* Its ok Miss Hernandez I will get justice for your fianceé. Here's my card.

Me: If you don't, I will . *takes his card and walks away*

I started to feel a cloud of anger raining down on me. Lord knows If it's them, I will kill every last one of them one by one. I went home and his cologne still flooded the air . "Damn baby, why are you haunting me?", I said aloud hoping his spirit could hear me . I hoped that he would just stay around me, but he didn't . I felt alot of wind coming from where the patio was located . I walked from the kitchen to the livingroom, but on the way I grabbed my gun from under the chair . This door was never opened . Meaning someone had to break in here . I slowly opened the door more to peek out and stepped out the door with my gun drawn, looking in both directions . I spotted nothing . I came back in, closed and locked the door and cut back on the alarm system . Somebody cut that off too! I headed upstairs towards our bedroom, but something stopped me. I smelled a stench of shit , like when you smell the devil in your home. I cocked my gun back and continued up the steps to seen a bouqet of roses and a letter on my bed with a bouqet of roses and a letter . I looked on the balcony and seen nothing . And checked the bathroom and closet; nothing. I went to the bed sat down and I looked at the letter, afraid to open it but I eventually gained the balls to do so. It read:

Dear my most beautiful and loving soon to be wife Rein,
I have done something wrong towards you babygirl and I think my time is coming to an end. The night we went to go pay off my debts, I took 150K out of the bag when you got out of the car. And now that Killa Keil has noticed, my life is soon to be coming to an end . I'm sorry baby I just wanted the money for us . I made a dumb mistake a very dumb one that costs me my life . And I deserved it . Wipe your beautiful eyes and stop crying . If you are pregnant, take care of our baby. And keep the ring. I'm going to always be around babygirl. I love you and again Im sorry .

Your Soon to be Husband,
Julian

My heart raced. I threw the letter and broke down. How could he do that?! How could he steal the money and use it for us! We have PLENTY OF MONEY! With job I have and the job he has we're bring in alot of stacks A WEEK! Now I'm without him . Now if I am pre- I raced to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet . Just crying and throwing up. I started to smell his cologne again until I screamed out

Me: GO AWAY JULIAN!! I'M PISSED AT YOU!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!

A wind blew and the smell went away . After throwing up I just went to lay in the bed ,but on his side . Now I have to learn how to sleep without him . Every night forever. His spot always felt better than mines, comforting me making me feel like he's still here . I layed there only for a few seconds and ended up falling asleep in what I imagined was his arms. "R.I.P. Julian, wish I was with you right now" , I said to myself but his spirit lingered in the house and I knew he would never leave me unless he knew I was okay. But I will never be the same again little does he know .
