The Hate and Love Game

Game #109

GABRIELLA POV

I sat on the bed and looked at Chresanto. He was laying on his stomach, his shirt was off, and he was hot. I rubbed his cheek. "Yep. This is exactly what you need baby." I said laughing a little. He sat up and smiled at me. "It would be better if you laid down with me babygirl." he said grabbing my hand. I smiled. "I've got to do something right now. So, you just stay In the bed, and get a little bit of sleep." He smacked his teeth and laid back down. I got up, and walked back downstairs. But, a big black looking bug crawling on the ground caught my attention. I screamed and climbed on top of the night stand that stood In the hallway. "Chresanto!!" I screamed. "What?" he asked walking out the bedroom. I pointed to the bug. "That. Kill it. I've never seen a bug like that before." I said. The bug started crawling faster. "Hurry! Kill it!" I yelled. He rolled his eyes and grabbed a paper towel and a shoe. "Cool the fuck down babe. The bug is 10 times smaller then you." he said walking over to it. I smirked. I watched as he repeatedly hit the bug. I've never seen a bug like that in Las Angeles. Never. When he picked it up with the paper towel, I climbed back down. I brushed myself off and watched him rap it up. "Thank you." I said. He smiled. "You want to see it?" he started walking towards me with the bug in his hand. "What the fuck Chresanto!?" I yelled Running back into the bedroom. But he continued walking towards me with this big ass smile on his face. I got under the covers making sure every inch of my body was covered. "Don't you dare put that on my bed. Go away." I said. I heard him laugh. "That's my bed too. Not just yours." he said. His voice started fading, so I guess he walked away. I got out from under the covers, and stood up. He was flushing it down the toilet. I watched him do that until I heard the doorbell ringing. "Can you go answer that?" I asked him. He looked at me. "You want me to answer the door when you're closer? When I'm flushing the mothafucking bug down the toilet? And when you wanted me to lay down?" he said raising his eye brow up at me. I smirked, and started walking towards the door. "Fine. I'll do it myself. Ass Hole.." I said under my breath. "That's a ass whoopen. Be prepared." he said from the bathroom. I laughed a little and opened the door. I wrinkled up my face looking at the person. "Uh, I'm sorry but do I know you?" I asked laughing just a little. It was a tall women. She looked like she was in her mid-fourty's. Her hair was very long, and looked like it hasn't been combed in ages. Her clothes looked old too. I watched as her eyes started watering. Who is this lady? "Of course you do. You don't recognize me?" she asked. A tear fell from her eye. "No, but I'd like too. Who are you?" I asked again. "La hija. It's Izabella Segura. Your mother." she said. I looked at her for a few moments. Then it hit me. 15 years in jail, and she's finally out. It was my mother. But, how'd she find out where I live. I felt my eyes water, and soon start falling quickly down my cheeks. "What are you doing here?" I asked. My voice was cracking. "Well, I just got out of jail." her saying those words crushed me. I felt the anger building up inside. "They told me where you stayed, and I wanted to come see you. You're so beautiful" she smiled at me. "Now you tell me!? After 10 years of pain and hatred from you and dad. You tell me this after you got out of jail!? When I'm an adult!?" my eyes started watering again. She looked down at her shoes and tears fell from her eyes too. "Look. Jail taught me something and I don't want to be put in that position again. Because I promise you, it is not fun in there. I can't even remember the last time I saw the sun. Because they kept me locked in a cell, with no windows. Not even a minute to step out of it. I've been it that thing for 15 years Gabriella! 15 years!" she said. "And how is that my fault? You did that to yourself. You watched me cry, you watched my get raped time after time! You even watched dad hit me. Hit me till I was bleeding. You just watched." I said. The tears just kept coming. Before she could say anything, I heard Chresanto yell my name.

CHRESANTO POV

So, I was getting curious on who was at the door. It's been like 10 minutes since she walked down there. "Ella!?" I yelled getting up. I walked down the stairs, and she was standing in the door way. A woman standing on the outside looked at me. I wrinkled up my face, am watches as Ella turned back around and starte whipping her face off. I walked up to her and grabbed her by her waist, standing beside her. Her head was down. I lifted it up with my finger and looked at her eyes. She's been crying. Her eyes turn a greyish color when she cries. Her nose was red, and she had lines going down her face where the tears fell. When she looked at me, her eyes started watering. "Baby what's wrong?" I asked her. I looked back at the woman who was standin there looking surprised. "Who are you?" I asked the woman. "I'm Izabella Segura." she said. I wrinkle up my face. That was Gabriella's last name before we got married. "Segura?" I said looking back at Gabriella. She looked up at me, and I wiped the fresh tears off her face. "Izabella, this is my husband Chresanto August." Ella said. Her voice was cracking up like she was about to start crying again. "Okay. Hi Izabella. Why are you here, and who are you? Because, you must have something to do with why my wife is crying." I said getting a little frustrated. "This is my daughter." she said pointing to Gabriella. What? I'm so confused. Did she just say Ella's her daughter? I looked back at Ella, who was staring outside. There was a short silence. "Well, bye Izabella." Gabriella said. "You can call me mamà." Izabella said. "No! You don't deserve that title!" Gabriella yelled. She was getting angry. "Can't we just talk about this?" Izabella asked her. "There's nothing to talk about. You never cared about me. I sat in the corner everynight naked an bloody because of you. And you know what you were doing? Huh? Either fucking dad or counting the fucking money you made off of me." Ella yelled. "I understand that you're made. But don't you dare curse at me young lady." Izabella said. Ella chuckled. "What are you going to do? Hit me? Call me a slut? Ugly?" Ella said. She looke at Izabella one more time, then walked back into the house. I watched as Izabella started shedding a few tears. She covered her eyes. I was just staring at her. I'm going to regret this, but I walked outside and closed the door behind me. "She'll cool down." I said avoiding eye contact with her. She looked up at me. "How do you know? You don't know my daughter." she said raising her voice. I chuckled staring at the ground. "You might think that. But, I can promise you this. I know a million things about her then you ever will." I said looking up at her. "Look, I'm a changed women." she said lowering her voice. "It's going to take a lot more to convince my wife that." I said. "What do you mean?" "Well, there comes trust. Then comes our children. We put them first before anyone." I said. "Children? How many..." "4. Got her pregnant at 16." I said smiling. Her eyes got wide. To be honest, I was just trying to make her mad. "That's too young." she said. "Really. Well from what I heard, Gabriella lost her virginity to a grown ass man when she was 9 years old. That's disgusting. And to make it worse, you were okay with that?" she looked down. "That was the past." "Past or not. If you didn't notice at all, but that literally affected her for a long time. She was put in so many dangerous positions, it still kills me inside to think, my wife was raped year after year after year. And my kids will have to find out sometime. Do you know how hard that going to be to tell them." she started crying. "That's what I thought. You're guilty of it, and I'm satisfied for winning this argument or little conversation between us. Please, come back when your mind is right." with that being said, I walked back inside closing the door behind me. I sighed, and went back upstairs only to find Gabriella crying with her face buried in the pillows. I frowned, then walked over to her laying down beside her. I moved the hair that was blocking her face out the way. "Gabriella, baby." I said quietly. She looked at me. "What do you want.." she said sniffling. "I want you to smile. I want you to stop crying, because everytime you cry I feel like it's my fault you are." I said pulling her closer to me. "Well, you already know it's not. You'll just never understand how hard it was growing up with people who never loved you. It was like a death trap to me. I used to think I was going to die because they were taking it too far. I remember the first time it happened. I was sitting on my bed, and my dad told me he wasn't going to regret what he was about to do for me. That, it's going to make his life better, and I'd be fine after it's over. After that day, it kept happening to me over and over again. I never understood it. I was too young. But when I got older it was all clear to me. That my life is a fucking piece of shit!" she threw the glass cup that was sitting on the night stand, at the window and it broke into pieces. I sighed. I felt no emotion. I couldn't relate to that, and I don't want to accidentally say the wrong thing to her. "You're right. I'll never understand. But, you know I hated myself for treating you so badly when we were in school. And you just don't know how thankful I am to have you. Like, taking you to my house that day was the day God opened my eyes. Now look at us. You're a beautiful, talented young women who has kids. It might've been hard for you then, but just look at you now babygirl." she half smiled. Tears still rolling down her cheek. "You don't have a reason to cry. You know you're to beautiful to do that. And I hate it when you do." I wiped the tears from her face, and watches as her eye color went back to normal. "You always know how to cheer me up." she said climbing into my arms. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her kissing her cheek. "That's my job too. I love you." I said. "I love you too."
