Cheat, Lies and Deceit

Chapter 10

Lena-

I woke up this morning to see that Justin was already gone for work. I decided to head downstairs to make breakfast for Kera and myself. I went into the bathroom, took me a shower and did my other hygiene things. Once I finished, I made it to the end of the stairs when I overheard Kera talking to Kim and AJ. "Ya'll know mama would never allow this to happen on purpose. Being in high school and all I know this is a big shake up. But, it was either him or us because eventually he was gonna hurt me badly or even worse, kill me." Kera said sounding stronger than she did yesterday. "Mama, don't feel bad! We know daddy wasn't treating you right, but as kids it wasn't our place to tell you what direction to go as an adult in a marriage." Kimberly said in a shaky voice. All I could think was, wow, Kera really have some strong and amazing kids. "AJ baby, you been really quiet. What are you thinking? How do you feel about this?" Kera asked. "Mama, really. I'm pissed at both of ya'll for not telling me sooner. You know my football keeps me away most of the time. But all that's gonna be done tonight cause I'm about to go kill his ass!" And with that AJ stormed past me as I tried to grab him. Kera ran after him but he hopped in his car and sped off. "FUCK!" Was all Kera could yell as she watched her son speed away into possible trouble. "Lena, I'm sorry. Did we wake you?" Kera asked as she noticed me standing there. "No baby but lets go find your child before he gets in trouble." I said running to grab my keys. "I'm coming too!" Kim said in a panic. "Come on!" I said speeding out the house.

We drove everywhere. None of us knew where to go next. "Lord, my baby gonna get himself in trouble. Where could he be Lena?" Kera asked me as she began to panic. "Mama don't worry, I will go home, get my car and go to some of his and our friends houses." Kim told us. I felt so sorry for them. Kera has been through more hell than any of us will ever know. I couldn't help to think of how grateful I am to have Justin in my life. Not having to deal with any of that drama

AJ

I rode around for some time thinking on when and how I'm gone catch this fuck boy slippin. I even sat in front of the house for awhile. His car wasn't there so I pulled off. I finally decided to go cool off at my boy Anthony house. I knocked on his door twice and heard him tell me to come on in. "What up bruh bruh?" Anthony said, dabbing me up. "Man, my pops....Adrian been doing my moms dirty bro." I said sitting down on his couch. "Bruh, how? Yo peeps like the model hood family." Anthony said sitting next to me lighting his blunt. He took a hit and then tried to pass it off to me. "Nah bro." I said throwing my hand up. "But he been cheating on her and beating her ass up. Kim claim she witnessed it happening but neither of their asses felt the need to tell me shit." I only felt comfortable telling Anthony this because he's been my best friend since we were 3. "That's fucked up man. You should fuck his ass up. But then again, naw don't ruin your future and shit over this pussy ass dude." At first I didn't really wanna hear that shit but after sitting here talking further with Anthony I realized that what he was saying made much sense. I gotta be the man of our family and take care of mom and Kim.

Anthony and I sat chillin for awhile until I heard a knock on the door. "Man, who the hell is this?" Anthony said getting up. Not a lot of people knew where he lived. Soon he returned back to the living room with Kim  behind him. I rolled my eyes and huffed a little bit. I'm still not ready to say shit to her for keeping all this shit from me. "AJ ma been worried sick about you!" She said standing in front of me with her arms fold. "Nah, its a little late for that don't you think? Ya'll didn't consider me at first when that bitch was laying hands on her." I didn't even make eye contact with her fool ass. "Oh please AJ, yeah we were wrong for not telling you but at some point you need to grow up and realize this shit not all about you." I bucked my eyes and looked up at her. Sliding to the end of my seat, I prepared myself to go in on her. Right when I was about to open my mouth, Anthony chimed in. "Aye bro, I hate to tell you but she's right. Look how you reacted when they did tell you. Just imagine what would've happened back then." Fuck! I hate being wrong but I'm most definitely in the wrong here again.

"Yeah I see what you saying." I said dropping my head. "Man Kim, I just thought were tighter than that. You should've told me."  I said in defeat. "I know and I just didn't want you in trouble. But come on home so mom can get some rest." With that, we said our goodbyes to Anthony and went back to Aunt Lena house. I'm gone make sure this pussy nigga regret ever doing us wrong. And as for that trick I once called Aunt Liv, she gone get what's coming to her.
