C51: Twist of Fate

ISABELLE

"Excuse me?" I ask, as I pull away

I'm not sure if I heard that right, but did he say when he's married to Kae in a couple days?

"I'll do anything for you even if I'm married, Isabelle I promise anything you need I got you."

"So you're marrying her? You're really gonna be with her?" I ask

"I don't have any choice." He replies

"BULLSHIT! Technically ain't nobody forcing you to even go to the wedding, no ones making you say I do! You're choosing to do this."

"Isabelle you have to unders-" I stop him.

" I do understand. And I'm not gonna beg you to not go through with it. You seem like you've made up your mind. And I don't need you doing anything for me anymore. Focus on your own relationship, and your kid. I wish you the best of luck." I say before waking up to the door.

"Isabelle don't be like that!" He says following me

"Don't be like what? Don't be upset that you were making false promises? You never intended to break it off but wanted to know if you could still get me if you tried?! No. Leave me alone Chris. I'm done with this... I gave you your chances. I love you so fucking much...but I do love myself too."

I get in the door, and lock it but he continues banging on the door.

"Isabelle please. I love you. I've never loved anyone like I've loved you. I know it's hard to believe that but I do. You can't...shut me out. It's not fair to me either is it? You're not the only one hurting here..." He says and his voice cracks.

Oh god. Is he crying...? I'm about to open the door but have to stop myself. I can't give in. Who is this good for? Him, me... Kae..the baby. Except he chose Kae. He'd rather me hurt then Kae? He could fight for his daughter. I could've helped... But he gave up too easily.

The tears start coming and I just feel like this is really the end. I didn't want it to be. But what can I do, if he won't even try and really actually fight for us and not just say he will.

I hear the engine start and peer out the window and see Chris with his head on his steering wheel. I'm sorry, I love you so much I promise.

"Yo you look like shit."

I sit up and wipe my eyes and look at Trey.

"I feel like it too." I tell him

"I'm sorry Isabelle. I know you were hoping it was gonna work out."

"I really did. Ughhhh, why me?" I groan

"He didn't tell me nothing about that. I would've tried to talk him out of it since I knew how you felt about it."

"I doubt it Trey. He looked so sure of it. I think it's the love he already has for his daughter that makes him take these risks." I tell him

"You won't just wait it out? We both know that's not gonna last right?" He says

"You want me to just wait on him? Like some lil puppy dog? No."

"Belle, it's not like that.. I know he makes you happy, and you do the same for him. I don't want you making some irrational choices cause you're upset with his. You know you love the Brown." He tells me

"Well, I guess you're right. But I don't know if I can wait it out. It's just...how long would I have be waiting on him? I'd get tired, cause I only want to be around him if we're together... which brings me to my next deal." I tell him
