You're The One!

Chapter 58: After The Storm

3 Months Later....

Amara

I Spent The Last 2 Hours Here At The Hospital With Curtis. To Be Honest I'm Ready To Go.

"Umm.... Listen Thank You For Coming." He Spoke.

"Curtis Can You Just Tell Me What's Wrong?" I Said.

He Coughed Some More And Sighed. "You Know How You Always Told Me Karma Was Coming Back For Me?"

I Nodded. "Well, Karma Didn't Hit Me In The Ass. It Hit Me In The Lungs."

I Scrunched My Face Up. "Huh?"

"I Got Stage 3 Lung Cancer."

I Gasped. "For How Long?" I Asked.

"For About A Year Now."

I Blinked. "Oh, Sorry To Hear That."

"I'm Sorry For Everything I Out You Through. I Shouldn't Have Did Any Of That Stuff And I Am Truly Sorry."

I Nodded. "It's Fine. But I Gotta Go."

"Thanks For Coming."

I Nodded And Walked Out.

While I Was Driving Somebody Hit My Car And I Sighed Pulling Over. Once I Got Out The Person In Back Of Me Got Out.

I Seen Some Red Skinny Jeans And A Plain White T-Shirt And Some Jordans.

When They Got Out I Rolled My Eyes And Got Back In The Car.

"So You Not Gone Get Out The Car?"

I Rolled My Windows Down. "Here Is My Information Chris." I Said Giving Him a Piece Of Paper.

We Haven't Talked In Almost 4 Months And I Kind Of Got Over It. Him On The Other Hand, Been Blowing Me Up Non Stop.

"Amara Lemme Talk To You."

"About What Chris? Unless You Gone Talk To Me About Getting My Bumper Fixed Then Don't Talk To Me At All."

"Amara Come On Just Let Me Talk To You Please." He Begged.

I Sighed And Thought For A Minute.

"Fine."

*****

"Amara I Just Wanna Say I'm Sorry For Everything."

I Crossed My Arms.

"Chris You Know What.... I'm Used To Being Left Alone To Not Justify The Truth And Being Left In The Dark. So I'm Used To It."

"Look Baby Girl. You Right And I'm Sorry. I Just Honestly Got Mad When I Foumd The Box And The Pills Because It Took Me Back To The Miscarriage And I Didn't Think I Could Live With That.

I Sat There Listening.

He Continued. "I Just Thought That You Would've Been Honest With Me."

I Was Still Quiet. "Baby Say Something."

I Sighed. "Chris I Wasn't Even Pregnant. I Didn't Wanna Say Anything Because I Didn't Want To Get Your Hopes Up. And I Wanted To Make Sure I Was Really Pregnant. I Knew I Wasn't Pregnant So I Took My Birth Control."

He Was Quiet. "Chris. I Felt So Alone. Cameron Asked For You And You Wasn't There. And That Day Somebody Shot Up The House I Didn't Have You To Protect Us. And When You Came I Didn't--I Didn't--" I Couldn't Finish My Sentence Because I Was Crying.

He Held Me. "Baby Girl It's Okay. I'm Sorry And I'm Here From Now On."

I Cried For A While And Got Myself Together.
