Stretching the Truth(Pt.1)

Nicole

After I exited the funeral home, I took off my heels. I changed into some cheap flip flops, that I had always carried in my purse. I kept wiping my tears that frequently fell from my face.

How fucked up has my life become? It seemed everything was going great, until one day changed my life forever. The one man that ignited this turmoil, I have to face in court in less than a week. To be honest I should just drop all charges. I rather just move back to Houston, life out here has gotten too stressful.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound rhythmic clicking. I didn't even bother to turn around. It wasn't it until arms wrapped around me, that I wanted to open my eyes. But I didn't need to, because I could smell the familiar cologne, and the feel of the crutches were a dead giveaway.

He lightly rested his chin on top of my head. It was just dead silence between us. I was afraid to speak, because he might go on about, how I always blame Jacob and shit. It's not like I need another enemy right now.

"I'm sorry babe."

I pulled back, "What?"

He lifted my chin, "I'm sorry about, how I talked to you in the hospital. It was uncalled for, and I was very inconsiderate. You're going through a lot right now. I'll be here if you need me."

"It's okay so we're good?"

"Yeah we good bih."

I sat on the steps, and Chris plopped down next to me. I smiled genuinely, and I haven't been able to do that in a while. I just hope I'm able to keep that smile through this trial with Jacob.

After a while, I felt like I was being watched. When I turned I was right. His mom and dad were watching us talk. They couldn't hide their smiles.

They cleared their throats, "Y'all ready to leave?"

"Yeah we've been ready."

I got up and helped Chris to his feet. Then I picked up his crutches for him. Then I helped him in one of the cars, and I sat next to him.

October 14th

Today is the day of the trial. I've been a nervous wreck. The trial doesn't start until ten o'clock, but it's currently four o'clock in the morning. To avoid disturbing Chris, I went into the guest room.

I been doing nothing, but pacing back and forth. Then I started to get hungry, so I went downstairs to fix me some breakfast. When I walked past, Chris's room he called my name. I sat next to him on the bed, and that's when took his hand, and grabbed half of my food off my plate.

"Damn greedy ass." I mumbled

"Well if you're eating, then I deserve some right?"

"Who made them rules up?"

"Me, the fuck? I mean I would do the same. So why you up anyway?"

"I don't know, I can't seem to sleep."

"I got something for you." He smirked

"Having sex, while your family is-"

"No I can eat your pussy babe."
