My Toxic Ex

Another Side.

      It's 12:37 a.m. Cameron just went back to sleep from when I put her in the tub, so I just lie-down next to her crib.

      I don't go to sleep fully, so I hear the front door slam. Thank God that Cameron is a heavy sleeper, because Chris was drunk, I just knew it.

"L- LOR- BRING YO StuPiD A*s OuT heRe B*TcH." He screams, burping after almost every word.

   I try to go to sleep. He barged into our room and took off his pants so he was only in his wife beater and boxers. He turned me over to face him. We locked eyes and he grabbed me with one hand by the shirt and punched tf out of me.

     I let out a scream, and Cameron started to wake up and whimper.

    "SHUT THAT F*CKIN BABY UP, GIRL."

  I begin to cry and beg him, "Chris, baby, stop, You're drunk."

    "SHUT THE F*CK UP", he yelled gripping me by my neck. I could barely breathe.

    I managed to push him off of me, grab Cameron, run in the bathroom and lock the door. He banged on the door but after a while it stopped. Tears filled my eyes. I've never seen him like this. In my 5 years of knowing him and 4 years of being with him...he has never done this. This is not the Chris I knew.

    I stayed up all night in the bathroom praying and watching Cameron. This mother stuff is BEYOND exhausting. I didn't hear Chris banging on the door anymore, so i drifted off to sleep around 4:23 a.m.

    I woke up and my whole body was sore. I got up, turned around, put Cameron in the tub and brushed my teeth. I looked in the mirror for a while, I had a black eyes and scratches. I didn't even want to examine the rest of my body. I should've known that if he can make my body feel so good, he can make it feel even worse. I stepped out the bathroom and got her bottle together and came back, to my surprise she was awake.

    "Here baby, mommies got your bottle." I say in my baby voice. 

   
     I ran her bath water, got her ready, let her play with her toys and got myself together. Seems like I was a single mom with the help of God and my parents ONLY.

     I took my engagement ring off and placed it on the counter. I got Cameron's bags together and mine and headed off to the store. Dani and Charlotte we're gonna stay with gamma and gampy Taylor for a while, while I got Cam stable. From the looks of it, I'm going to be doing this all by myself.

    We got in the store and headed to Publix. I got out and got her a car cart so that she could 'drive'. I went down the cereal aisle and picked up me and Cameron's favorites, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Honey Bunches of Oats.

     Her face lit up!

      "Aww, Cam Cam. You like that?" I asked her, smiling at her smile. I go to look for snacks for us to eat. I wasn't going to be making another store run until the girls came back home.

I check out and we head back home. I grab Cam and her bag, unlocked the door, and I head back to my room. I laid down for a small nap before I got the day fully started.

10:26 am.

Chris still wasn't home. I didn't know where he was now. I wasn't really worried. I was glad he wasn't around though. I don't know what was going on with him, it wasn't the sweet Chris that i knew and loved.

Chris had just come in. I was willing and ready to talk to him about Dani and Dayvon. Cameron was sleeping a lot now so I walked in the kitchen to talk to Chris.

I walked in the kitchen, scratching my arm I builded my self up to talk to him.

Chris' POV

"Chris?" she said staring down at the floor.

I really didn't wanna look at her after all the sh*t I put her through last night, just because I was angry about her baby daddy. Some sh*t she ain't have nothing to do with. They got a child together. He was there before me, that sh*t make me feel a type of way. Her eyes were black, I could tell she tried to cover em' up with makeup. I promised myself I would never hit a woman. And look at my sorry ass. Beating on an innocent girl and she's coming to talk to me first. A little b*tch. That's what I am right now. I feel weak asf. She has done nothing but love me and I leave her alone all the time with our kids. Especially in the times that she needs me most.

I turn my back from her and open the refrigerator but I ain't looking for sh*t.

"Chris, please talk to me. I'm sorry. I should've never pushed you to your limit. I should've never said his name in our house. I'm sorry...for everything." She said gripping her left elbow looking down, trying to avoid eye contact.

I closed refrigerator hard asf, which caused her to jump back a little. That sh*t hurt me bad. I never wanted to put her in this kind of situation. I don't want her to leave me.

"Look at me, Lori." I said, lifting her chin to make eye contact with me.

I didn't even see that her neck was bruised and banged up. She had scratches on her right arm and she shook a little when I touched her.

I pulled her in for a hug, "Lori...baby, I'm sorry. I don't know what the f*ck is wrong with me. I put you and my child in danger. I'm stressed out too. My label wants me to drop another song and everything going on with Cameron and your babydaddy. I'm sorry that I brought it out on you. Words can't even express how sorry I am. For putting my hands on you...a LADY in general. You do so much for me. I couldn't imagine my life without you. Please don't leave me, Lo. I need you." I told her, tears starting to fill my eyes.

"Leave you??? I'm not going to leave you. I hate to say it but, It's going to take a lot more than a few drunk punches to leave you. We have a lifetime to go, baby." She reassured me. My heart just skipped 3 f^cking beats.

"Trust me, you don't have to worry about me drinking OR putting my hands on you like that again." I told her.
