Love and War

Chapter 10- HIM (I)

L I S A

It's been a few months that I've been hiding away from Chris. I just couldn't bare to see his face. I couldn't let him see the hurt he put me thru. But I came to a realization that I actually need to. He has to see how badly he hurt me. How dare he keep something like this from me? He knows how fucked up my trust is and he went against his promises.

I pulled my matte black Range Rover into my old driveway. I got out, looked up at the house and sighed.
The old memories.

I walked up to the front door and inserted my key and turned it. I opened the door and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the mess that my home has become .

There were cups, plates, potato chip bags, drink bottles, pizza boxes, hot wing bones, candy wrappers, and clothes layin around the house .

"What the hell happened here?" I whispered to myself.

I walked up the stairs and down the long hallway and stopped at my bedroom.

I took a deep breath and released it. Then entered the room.

I looked around and everything looked... untouched. This makes no sense. Why was everywhere else trashed, and the bedroom not?

I walked over to the nightstand by the bed and picked up an old picture of Chris and I. We looked so happy. So in love. What happened? Where did we go so wrong?

I sat down on the bed and held the picture in my hand, when I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me.

I jumped and turned to look at the person who caused me all of this pain. Chris .

I looked into his eyes and saw the hurt inside of them. Why is he hurt? He cheated and lied to me!

I studied his face for a moment longer. He looked so drained. Like he hasn't slept in years.

I moved his arms from around me and stood to my feet.

"Lisa..." he called out to me.

I sighed. I came here to talk, and that's what we're goin to do.

"We need to talk"

"Thank God. I thought you just up and left and wasn't goin to ever return" he confessed.

"I never said I was comin back..."

"Baby I'm so sorry! Please stop this foolishness. Its been hell trying to live without you! You're my rock, my heart, my soul. I can't do this life shit without you!"

"You wasn't thinking about that when you was fuckin that other bitch now was you?"

He couldn't say shit after that.

"Yeah that's what the fuck I thought"

"I know I hurt you and I'm deeply sorry, honestly. I was trying to keep up appearances in front of the kids. They can't be seen outside of their house and I thought that if they believed that their parents were happy together, it would make them content with their living conditions" he admitted.

This bitch must think I'm stupid?

"do I have stupid written across my forehead? I looked in the mirror this morning and I damn sure didn't see that shit!" I yelled .

"No ba-"

"SHUTUP! DONT FUCKIN CALL ME THAT!"

"Ok..."

"How would you feel if I was out here keepin secrets from you? What if I had a family and didn't tell you shit about em?" the tears finally started to fall down my face.

"You let that bitch give you something that I've been dying to give you! You let her bare your kids! You really don't understand how bad this shit hurts Chris!" I just broke down afterwards. This shit just isn't fair..

Chris walked over and held me in his arms.

"Lisa, she means nothing to me. She's just the mother of my kids. She betrayed me back in the day, and I lost all love and trust for her, so I understand how you feel. And I'm deeply sorry. I never ment to let it get this far. I'll tell you everything, from the very beginning, I'll hold nothing back. I promise to be an open book with you from here on out. I'll take you everywhere with me so you know I'm not doin no shady shit. I just can't lose you forever. You taking your love away from me would rip my heart to shreds. Just think about this. Think about us, please" he begged.

He wiped my face and I agreed to listen to his story...from the beginning....

S H A Y N A

I've been so paranoid as of late. Shits been poppin off, people getting killed off, letters still being sent... shits starting to get to me.

I just needed to calm down. Relax a little. So I decided to have a spa day and go shopping on Rodeo Dr., yeaaa that expensive shit!

I had just got done with my spa appointment and pulled up to a parking garage. I parked my fire red Bentley coupe, and exited my car.
I hit the alarm system on my keypad.
Can't have these jealous hoes tryna steal my shit!

I began walking to the exit walkway of the garage, when I heard a pair of footsteps behind me.

SHIT!

I began to speed up my pace. And so did they..

What a bad day to wear a brand new pair of McQueen's...

I kicked off my heels and broke out running.

Those 4 years of being on an all star high school track team started kicking in!

I was nearing the gate when I felt myself being lifted off of the ground. I tried fighting but the person squeezing me was too strong and buff.

I reached for my purse but it was gone!

FUCK! MY FUCKIN GUN WAS IN THERE!!

I went to scream but a hand went over my mouth!

Oh God no! No no no!

I'm not going down without a fight!

I bit his hand and he yelled out.

"DAMN GIRL CALM YO ASS DOWN! SHIT!"

That voice... that bass in it. It can't. It just can't be...

He let me go and I slowly turned around to look at a face that I haven't seen in years...

It was.....HIM.
