Kendra & I hopped on the next flight home. With zero communication from East & Deleon. The whole thing felt like an outer body experience. I asked Kendra what happened and it still didn't make sense how the argument between them exploded like that. We were all having a good time what the fuck brought that on??
Part of me was in denial, like did East really say he was done? He's not done. He can't be done....I'm not done. It was nothing I could do to prove to him I was on his side. I can't bare the thought of him moving on especially with another woman. The thought made me sick.
Kendra & I ubered back from the airport to her house & I began helping her unpack.
Kendra: I'm sorry you had to lie for me like that. My bad Jay.
I paused.
Jace: it's iight Ken.
It wasn't iight. I was actually kind of pissed at Kendra. But how could I be mad at her? I'm the Dumbass who had a choice and I chose to keep my best friends secret over my mans trust. Sigh. I wouldn't want to be with me either.
Jace: I'm sorry for not telling you about your mom & Ruby.
Kendra: Nah trust me my momma gon be sorry once I dog walk that hoe.
I could hear the anger rise in Kendra's voice.
Kendra: She came into ma HOME. Where her grandbaby SLEEPS. And tried to fuck his daddy! My nigga!
She deeply inhaled & exhaled trying to calm herself. I'm scared for Mariah.
*CAR DOOR CLOSES*
Me and Kendra look at each other confused.
Jace: I know that's not Deleon.
We rush over to the window & see East and Deleon get out they cars. My heart started pounding at the sight of East. I could feel the palms of my hands begin to sweat.
Kendra: Just continue to unpack. They'll see our purses n shit downstairs and know we're here.
Kendra immediately straightens her face to unbothered mode. Of course she could be coo about this her and her nigga was just fighting. Mine was done with me. I wanted to ball my eyes out and run to East.
We hear them talking as they came in & it grew silent the moment they knew we were here too. Kendra hummed lowly to herself pretending not to hear them.
I stood close to the door just wanting to hear East's voice. Just to hear him say he's not done with me.
Deleon smacks his lips realizing we were here.
Deleon: Mann im just gon get a couple thangs and we could bounce im not stayin here.
I begin to hear him rummage through the house. I sit on the bed whimpering. East was right there & it was nothing I could say or do to get him to change his mind.
I look up and a small shriek escaped my mouth. Deleon was standing in the doorway like some Michael Myers's reject looking down at a letter. His mouth was agape and all the color from this face was GONE. Either Kendra didn't notice Deleon at the door or she pretended not to. I looked back and fourth at him & the letter. I lifted my head to try to read the top of the letter, what the Fuck had him this shook.
DNA DIAGNOSTICS CENTER.
My eyes bulged and I launched to my feet.
Jace: WAIT D-
Deleon: BITCH!
I wasn't fast enough for what Deleon had in him. He took two wide steps toward Kendra and smacked her to the floor.
Deleon: YOU KNEW HE WASNT MY SON! HUH!? BETCHU WAS LAUGHIN AT ME WITH YO MAMA HUH!?
Deleon grabbed Kendra by the collar of her shirt shoving the paper in her face shaking her like a rag doll. I ran to them falling to my knees trying to pull Deleons arm off! Kendra had a look I'd never seen before on her face and it was pure terror.
Jace: EAST! EAST! DELEON PLEASE!
Kendra let out a wailing cry & I balled my eyes out too. We never opened the letter we were too scared. I saw in her eyes Kendra was coming to the realization that everything she knew was wrong. Her family a lie. Her relationship a lie. And even worse Chris is Angels daddy.
I heard East barreling up the stairs & began trying to snatch Deleon off of Kendra. Deleons veins popped out his neck & his eyes were blacked out. The Deleon we knew was not there. D kept screaming callin her a lying ass hoe. A bitch. Words I thought I'd never hear out of his mouth. If it hurt me I know it killed her. East finally was able to snatch Deleon off of Kendra & I held her in my arms as she cried out.
East: LETS GO NIGGA! NOW!
East pushes Deleon toward the stairs. East turns his head to me jaw clenched. I looked helpless. In a blink East was gone and I heard them leaving out the house. Kendra was inconsolable.
