It's been almost two hours since I talked to Eric on the phone. It was pouring down rain outside when he called me and told me that Dre wanted to talk.

"Hey baby ima be home a little late" he said through the phone

"What for" I said sighing

"Why you say it like that ? I hope you don't think I'm cheating"

"Well I don't know Eazy judging from your past I wouldnt push it pass you"

"I'm going to meet Dre...he wants to work it out"

"This late ?...he couldn't call you when the sun is up ?"

"I was thinking the same thing"

"Mmmm i don't know babe something ain't right...I would stay strapped if I was you"

"I will"

"Be careful OK ? I love you"

"I love you too" he said hanging up

That whole phone call replayed in my head as I paced the floor waiting for my man to come home. I bit my nails as the thought of Eric being dead crossed my mind. I stayed up for hours until he banged on the door at 3 in the morning.

"BABY ! BABY!" I heared him yell from behind the door.

I ran to the door and opened it. Eric was covered in blood. His face was bloody, his right eye was swollen shut, his lip was busted, and his nose was bleeding. He grabbed me and hugged me tight. Tighter than he's ever held me.

"I thought they got you" he said holding me and kissing me

"ERIC WHAT HAPPENED! " I cried as i helped him into the house

He limped to the couch as I helped him sit down. I ran to get a warm rag to wipe the blood off his face.

"baby what happend?" I asked still cleaning the blood from his face

"It was a set up...I went into the spot and Dre wasn't there it was Suge and 5 other niggas they kept threating me to sign those release forms"

"Did you sign them?"

"I had no choice they were going to hurt you and my momma I couldn't risk losing you not over Dre"

All I could do was hold him. I knew that there was some fuckary going on. How could Dre do this? As I held Eric in his wet clothes anger came over me. I was never going to forgive Dre for this.

"I'm in so much pain right now" he said

"Come on let's get you out these wet clothes" I said unbuttoning his shirt

"Not yet" he said getting up and limping to the bedroom. 

I followed behind him. He went into the closet and got his 9 milli and starting putting the bullets into the gun.

"Eric what are you about to do?" I said starting to cry

"I gotta kill this nigga" he said walking out the bedroom.

'ERIC NO PLEASE BABY DON'T DO THIS!" i cried grabbing his shirt

"HE NEEDS TO DIE!" he yelled

"ERIC STOP ! IF YOU GO IN THERE PLAYING BILLY BAD ASS THEY'LL KILL YOU ON SIGHT ! YOU GOT LUCKY TO LIVE THIS TIME PLEASE BABY DON'T GO!" I held on to him tight and cried into his chest "I'M NOT LOSING YOU BEHIND THIS SHIT...WE WORKED TO HARD BABY PLEASE"

My tears began to soak his shirt as I held on to him. I wasn't going to lose him behind Dre's shit. If Suge kills him I don't know what I would do. I don't want to be a widow. I love Eric so much and I can't see me living my life without him. He was my pride and joy he's the piece of happiness in my life that keeps me going. Him and the kids. I just can't do it.

"Baby please don't do it I don't wanna lose you" I said still crying

"It's ok...I'll stay here with you" he said lifting my chin and kissing me

Eric and I stood in silence in the middle of the front room holding each other. Our love was real
