WhenILoveYa: Chapter 30

Chris

"Yo, stop bringing up old shit!" I laugh as Heather cuts me another piece of cake. "I wasn't skinny; my clothes were just too big!"

She kisses her teeth and playfully rolls her eyes. "Well whatever was going on, you had all the little girls hot in the pants."

I rub my goatee. "You think?"

"Do I think?" She snaps. "Negro I know! As one of your victims, I can say you had all of the neighborhood girls acting crazy. I would spend my nights finding outfits to wear, and then be mad as hell when you didn't show up to school." She laughs and I do the same

"Shit!" Keeis curses entering the room looking around

"Aye what's up bruh?" I ask out of concern

"You seen Rita?" He asks simply

I shrug. "She in the den right?"

He lets out a sigh. "I fucked up..."

"What the fuck you do!" I jump up and Heather grabs my arm

Keeis shakes his head backing up. "Nothing like that B, you know I'm not like that. I just...I said something fucked up to her. I kind of snapped. I was upset..."

"What the fuck did you say!" I yell

"Chris where is Rita? She said wait in the---" Lauren says entering the room, but quickly stops in mid sentence. "Um, I can go just look out back."

"Nah, she not out there clearly." I say out of annoyance. "What did you say to her!" I look back at Keeis.

Door opens

Mama E walks in looking confused. "I don't know how my daughter and fiancé go missing in one house."

"Can we call her?" Heather suggests

"No I have her phone." Lauren's voice is now softer. "I can go look for her. It's not many places she can be."

Amber walks in. "Did you find her?" She stops abruptly noticing us all in the kitchen.

"Nope! First Rita, and now Michael." Mama E says with her hands on her hips

"Where the hell is Michael!" My mom says now walking in the room. "The minister needs to speak with him, he knew this!"

Amber shakes her head. "Rita's missing now."

Mama looks to me. "Where is she baby?"

"I don't know, I---" I start

"You haven't been paying attention to her, that's what you haven't been doing..." Amber mumbles but I can clearly hear her

I make a face. "What was that?"

She rolls her eyes. "I said you haven't been paying attention to her so you wouldn't know where the hell she is...would you?" She says with pure attitude

"What the fuck are you trying to say?" I snap

"Guys watch your mouth in this home." Mama E says calmly

I step back. "Naw she got so much attitude today, tell me what you got on your mind!" I get loud

"Oh, you want to know what's on my mind?" She snaps

Keeis grabs her. "Chill..." He says lowly

"No, he's always Ray Charles to his own bullshit and he needs to be called out! Rita is depressed! She's tired and quite frankly she's too good to be dealing with any of us...especially you Chris. You have been giggling up Heather's ass since we were introduced to her. No disrespect to you love, because you have been nothing but sweet to us all, but he needs to hear this." She says to Heather, and then looks back at me. "She was walking around her doing everything for your friend's funeral, and yet you haven't spent one second with her! She really thought your two were going to work out, but then I have to hear today that your locked up in your old room with Heather. Why is my best friend always crying over you? It's a fucking funeral, and yet again, she occupied with worrying about you and not what's going on around her, like her sister who hasn't spoken a word in 7 days! And you can't even give us a time of when you last seen her, fucking sad!" She finishes and I honestly have nothing to say back. I can't remember the last time I seen Rita today. I can't even give you a good description of what she has on right now. This woman hasn't left my side since Ty passed away, and I can't even help them find her. I didn't even know she was crying.
