What Love Really Was

You Haven't Heard?

-12:00 P.M.- 

I woke up and Raya was gone. I walked down stairs to the kitchen Raya was sitting on the couch watching The Grinch (It's Close To Christmas). While I was in the bathroom I heard the door open & close. So I washed my mouth out with water and walked to the living room. Dede was standing there confused. I took her by her hand and walked her to my room.

Me- Baby she only here cus she needed my help.

Dearra- She needed your help with what? The bed?

Me- No, No I promise we didn't do anything...her boyfriend beat her up and I took her in. She could've died.

Dearra- I know how she feels (Rolls Her Eyes)

Me- What You Mean?

Dearra- We never really talked about you abusing me, I just forgave you and left it alone. But it still sits in my head.

Me- Okay lets talk about it

Dearra- Zahj you hurted me everytime you hit me...I screamed for help and you never decided to stop. You didn't love me and I still feel like you don't I walked to school with bruises and when it was time for me to go to bed I ended up with more. How could you do that to me?!!?! What did I do to you?! I FUCKING LOVE YOU AND YOU JUST SPIT IN MY FACE AND TREATED ME LIKE SHIT?!!!(Cries)

Me- Dearra I'm sorry I am I hate myself for putting my hands on you, Losing my mother just made everything difficult for me, and I apologiz for putting you through that and taking my anger out on you. Baby I LOVE YOU, I would die for you. If I don't got you I would loose myself. I Want to be with you and you only. I do have my fuck ups but I wanna make them up to you. See I was trynna make it up to you ever since you left me. I noticed that not having you by my side makes me go crazy. Your my addiction Dearra. And I fucking Love You so Fuck It Ima just do what I was supposed to do a long time ago. (Goes Through Dresser & Walks Towards Dearra).

Me- What Are You Doing Zahj?

Me- (Gets On His Knee & Opens A Little Black Jewelry Box) Dearra Taylor would you do me the honor of being my wife?

Dearra- (Cries) Yes, Yes (Kisses Zahj).

Me- (Picks Dearra Up & Holds Her).

Dearra- Wugga?

Me- Yeah Baby?

Dearra- I'm Pregnant

Me- (Face Lights Up) REALLY! (Swings Dearra Around)

Dearra- (Laughing)

A BABY!! This Is Exactly what we need to make our lives happier. I know it sounds like a big responsibility, but I could manage. As long as Dearra can. Getting Married & Having A baby....Wow anyways, I walked to the kitchen where Dearra mom was sitting.

Me- How are you?

Dearra Mom- I'm Fine...Just like you and your new girlfriend

Me- Damn Assuming shit already?

Dearra Mom- Yeah

Me- Well, is it alright for me to assume that you made Jack come after me that day to shoot me?

Dearra Mom- (Pauses) What are you talking about?

Me- Don't act stupid... My head boss told me everything that Jack told him that day, unless..you still wanna act dumb and I could just facetime my head boss right now so he could remind you.

Dearra Mom- Everything I did was to protect my daughter, even trying to have you dead was a protection for my daughter and her education.

Dearra- A protection for me? 

Dearra Mom- Yes baby, so you wouldn't be off track with your education and ending up like me 16 and pregnant.

Dearra- So you thought killing my baby daddy was the perfect solution?

Dearra Mom- Yeah Basically

Dearra- Ehh Wrong False Information, You did this so that your ass would have me to yourself.Go to mommy when you need a shoulder to lean on. Mom if I wasn't pregnant I would whoop your ass right now, but all I could do is (Spits On Her) That.

Dearra Mom- (Trying to hit her but Zahj is holding her back)

Me- Ima need you to get out my house before somebody gets hurt and by somebody I mean you.

Dearra Mom- Alright Zahj Stick Up For your girlfriend your so called baby mother, That baby probably not even yours (Picks up her purse) Dearra was fucking John the whole time after  you've been hitting her anyways.

Me- WHAT?!?!?!

Dearra Mom- Oops Sorry, You Haven't Heard?
