Beauty and the Beast

Chapter 9

"Yes I'm positive, I don't want to press charges.", I told the police slightly annoyed. He gave me a card and told me I could reach out if I changed my mind

I woke up a few hours ago and it has been pure chaos. Me and Kamora got into it again, not physically. She was up here trying to comfort me but I ain't want it without a sincere apology for what she did. Of course she gone come apologizing with me being in the hospital but she wouldn't have tripped in the first place I wouldn't be in this situation now.

Me and Cam was ok, not good but ok, u til he found out Frank is my ex. He kept asking why I was with my ex and unnecessary ass questions and I flipped. I made him leave.

In the mist of that Cam and Kamora started exchanging words. They both were in the wrong in my eye but they both thought they were defending me.

I can't believe I trusted Frank and he was on this fuck shit. Yeah that's my ex but we were friends before anything. I trusted him and he used that against me. I hate the way I'm feeling but, I want him dead.

I feel so empty, and stupid, and alone. I haven't felt like this since I was with Mike Mike and I don't like it.

I'm waiting on the nurse to come discharge me so I can go get flowers to put at my parents grave. I never got to do that yesterday but that's what I wanted to do.

...

As the Uber pulled up to my house I saw Cam sitting on my porch. I deeply exhaled as I thanked the driver and got out. When Cam saw me get out he met me and closed the door for me. "Why you here Cam?", I asked as we walked to my door.

"I'm not bout to keep doin' this with you. Can we talk?", he asked as I unlocked my door. I rolled my eyes as we went in. He followed me to the kitchen. I sat my stuff down and just looked at him. "I'm sorry, for everything. I only fucked the girl like twice after we started dating. That was right when we started dating too. I still should've told you, I was wrong. I talked to Kamora too, she told me what yesterday was. I'm sorry I wasn't here for you. I'm sorry you felt like you had to go to another nigga for comfort when you coulda came to me. Then he was on some fuck shit and you got hurt. I'm really sorry Kora, I am.", he said. He looks and sounds so sincere. I didn't expect an apology. "Tell me what I gotta do mama." He came and got on his knees in front of me. He grabbed my hands and kissed them. "What you want dada to do?"

"Kill him.", I said as I eyes watered. He looked in my eyes as he stood up. He held my face as he wiped it.

"He was already gettin' packed up mama. Ion play about you. You know that.", Cam said still holding my face. "Anything else?" I shrugged and shook my head as I looked away. "Go get dressed and pack you a bag." I looked at him confused as tears rolled down my face. He wiped my face and kissed my head. "Take off for the next week. Imma pay you for the week so don't worry bout missin' no money. A'ight?" I nodded. He softly kissed my lips then let my face go.

"Come on." He grabbed my hand and took me upstairs to the bathroom. I stood by the sink as he started the shower. He grabbed me towels from the closet and sat them on the sink, "Put yo' arms up." I looked at him confused. "Come on." I slowly put my arms up. He pulled my shirt off. He pinned my air up before taking off my bra. I covered my chest as he got down and took off my shoes and socks.

He was about to take off my pants but I stopped him. I looked up at up. "I got on a diaper.", I said lowly. He sucked his teeth and moved my hands.

"Imma be changin' yo' diapers when you old anyways.", he said as he pulled down my pants. I smiled softly. "Or maybe you gone be changin' mine.", he shrugged as he pulled my diaper off. He stood up and held out his hand. I grabbed it and he helped me into the shower. He gave me my rag then closed the curtain. I closed my eyes as the water hit my body.

...

We pulled up to his brother house. He was on the porch with Kamora. "Go talk to yo' sister.", Cam said as he turned the car off. I just looked at him. "The last conversation I had with my baby brother was heated like y'all's. I ain't get to apologize or accept his apology. He died in a crash the next day. That shit still hurt me everyday. Tomorrow ain't promised." I deeply exhaled and looked away.

"Fine.", I said lowly.

"Let me see yo' phone." I unlocked my phone and gave it to him. I watched him as he went to Instagram. He went to my followers and found Frank. "This him?" I nodded as I looked at Cam. He locked my phone then got out. I took my seatbelt off as I waited on him to open my door. He helped me out then closed the door. Kamora just looked at me as I got out. "Go talk to yo' sister mama." He kissed my head. I crossed my arms as I waked to her. Kai started walking to the car as I walked to them. We said hey as we passed each other.

We just looked at each other when we made it. Both of our eyes started to water. We hugged each other tightly and broke down in each others arms. She kept apologizing and saying she loved me. I told her I loved her too. After we stopped crying we let go. She wiped my face and I wiped hers. "Are you ok?", she asked rubbing my arm.

"Yeah I'm good. It was Frank.", I said rolling my eyes. Her eyes went wide. "Phara gave him my address he showed up. We ended up at his place. He got me drinking.", I said shrugged. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Imma beat that bitch ass and imma kill that nigga. Dead homies. I got bail money at my house. You just gotta bail me out." I smiled softly.

"Cam said he gone handle it. Don't say nothin' to Phara though. Please, ion want her going to the police saying shit after everything go down." She deeply exhaled.

"Fine.", she said rubbing her hands through her hair. "You wanna come over? I'll ditch Kai."

"Nah, Cam taking me somewhere. He told me to take off for the week and to pack a bag.", I shrugged. She smiled.

"Period. Let me know where y'all end up.", she said hugging me again.

"I will. I'll text you."

"Okay." I started walking back to the car. Cam met me as Kai went back to Kamora.

"Everything good?", Cam asked as we walked to the car.

"Yeah.", I nodded as he opened the door. He helped me in before getting in himself.

...

We went to his place so he could pack his bag then we went to the grocery store. We got some snacks and drinks. He said the drive was about 12 hours. When we make it it's gone be dark. He got a bunch of flowers too and arranged them into two big bouquets.

I thought we were getting on the highway but we're at the graveyard, my parents graveyard. "Kai told me where he took Kamora. I know I wasn't there yesterday but I hope I came make it up today.", he said as he turned the car off. "Is that ok?" I slowly nodded as my eyes watered.

He got out then came and helped me out. We each carried a bouquet to their headstone. I tried to keep myself together as he wiped off their headstone. He put a bouquet on each side next to ones that were already there.

When he came and hugged me I lost it. He held me as I broke down. He hugged me tight as he rubbed my back.

After I calmed down a bit he let me go. He stood next to me and wrapped his arm around me. I held onto him as I talked with my parents.

...

After about two hours we picked up my prescription and hit the road. Once we got on the highway I tried going to sleep. "You sleep?", I heard Cam ask. I didn't feel like talking so I ignored him and acted like I was. He deeply exhaled. "I love you Kora. Shit I'm in love with yo' ass. I see you bein' my wife. Huge property down south. A dog or two since you don't want kids." He chuckled. "I been wanting to tell you but, I couldn't. Not actually to you at least. I love peace you bring, your spirt, your presence. I love everything about you. You make me wanna better myself sooner than later. I can't wait til I got the nuts to tell you this shit to yo' face." He chuckled before turning the music up a bit.

My heart feel funny. I didn't think his feelings were that strong. I feel so warm.
