Mirage (A Chris Brown Story)

Chapter Twelve.

The car goes silent as we pull up to Chris' house.

"Do you really plan on going back to face Ramon?" He asks, gazing in front of him.

I sigh as I turn in my seat to look at a sleeping Baby Girl, "I don't know."

"You know you can just stay with me right?"

I shake my head, "No I can't, you don't have to worry about me."

"Arielle, you're staying with me until things change, okay?"

The way he says it really leaves no room for any argument so I simply nod. This is exactly what I didn't want. A part of me wants to push Chris away and a selfish part of me wants to just pull him closer and never let him go.

I gaze around the medium sized room that Baby Girl and I will be sleeping in. The room is painted a blood red color which really makes the cherry wood furniture stand out. Ontop of the blush queen sized bed is a cream comforter and dark brown blush pillows. It's pretty obvious that whoever decorated the room, most likely Chris' mother, knew what the hell they was doing.

"Here go some clothes for you and Mimi to sleep in if you need anything just lemme know."

And with that he was gone. I understood what Chris was trying to do, he was trying to give me space. Give me time to think about things on my own, and I appreciate that. Hell with all of the shit that has happened today I just, I don't know what to think. The whole thing with Ramon feels like a distant nightmare at this point, but I know it wasn't. It'll never be just a nightmare for Baby Girl. Things like that stick with little kids and I know that even though she doesn't clearly understand it all, she understands the fact that not everyone in this world is kind. I just hope that I can teach her how to tell the bad people from the good ones, however, the thing is I can't even distinguish them.

I tuck Baby Girl into the plush bed, placing a soft kiss onto her forehead.

"Love you Ellie," she sleepily mumbles, pulling the thick comforter up to her chin.

"I love you too Baby Girl," I tell her, climbing into bed next to her and pulling her small fragile body closer to mines.

"Well I'll be damned!" A warm voice exclaims shaking me out of my slumber.

I slowly blink a few times to clear my mind before gazing across the room, only for my eyes to lock in with unfamiliar deep brown ones.

"Huh?" I stupidly grumble my mind still asleep.

The woman in front of me lightly chuckles.

"I'm Joyce Chris' mother, but you can call me Momma J."

Shit. I just made myself look like a total dumb ass in front of this woman!

"Oh hi! I'm Arielle, Chris' friend! " I choke out.

"Child I know who you are, do you think you'd be in my house right now if I didn't?" she questions raising an eyebrows at me.

"Oh yeah huh?" I chuckle suddenly feeling a lot more comfortable around this lady, even though she is intimidating as hell.

"Thank you so much for letting my sister and I stay here, we'll be leaving as soon as possible!"

"Oh enough with that non sense! You can stay here as long as you feel it's necessary!"

My heart heats up at her kind words. It blows me away that this woman that I barely even know is opening up her home to me.

*****

Yeah I know this chapter sucks, it's just that it's very necessary for the story to progress. The last few chapters have been interesting so it only makes since to have a filler chapter. The next chapter will be a little bit more eventful, I promise so just stick with me. So since this chapter is a big load of shit I'm only asking for five comments and votes for the next update. Until next time my loves! :)

OH! And check out my new semi story 'Broken'!
