Chapter 7
Nicole and Natahalia walked down the strangely quiet streets of Englewood, on the way home from track practice. "I miss track." Natahalia said. Since being pregnant, Natahalia had to quit and can only watch from the sideline, while Nicole and their friends participate. "You'll be back once the baby's here." Nicole assured her, even though she would be the 1st mom competing on their school's track team.
As they turned the corner onto the street they lived, Nicole could sense trouble as she had seen a strange parked black car in front of the house. Nicole placed the key in the lock and opened the door. She came in the presence of weed and Natahalia covered her mouth and nose and hurried upstairs to their room. Sounds could be heard from Dominic and Marisol's bedroom. There was no secret about Dominic Nicole didn't know, she knew all about his cheatings, too bad Marisol didn't know.
Nicole made it to the top of the stairwell, when she was stopped due to the front door opening. Marisol came in with a scorned look on her face. "Is there a problem?" Marisol questioned. Nicole refused to answer that question. "Nattie is in our room, your husband has weed everywhere." Nicole said as Marisol made it upstairs. Nicole followed her mother to the room. The sounds became louder as Marisol and Nicole stood at the door. Marisol opened the door and there he was.
Dominic.
The woman quickly covered her body up with the sheets as Nicole eyed her down. Marisol sighed as she watched Dominic not even giving a fuck and lighting a cigar. "What have I ever done to you?" Marisol asked with no type of emotion. "Shit happens." Dominic responded after a cough.
The woman rushed out the room and out the house. "How could you?" Nicole mumbled in disbelief. "You're not perfect, Nicole, so cut that shit out." Dominic snapped. "You cheated on my mother! You broke your vows." Nicole yelled throwing a pillow at Dominic. Angered, Dominic got up and slapped Nicole across the face.
With tears down her face, Nicole laid on the ground, covering her bruised face. Marisol stood there as Dominic past right by her as he headed downstairs. Natahalia stood in the doorway with tears down her face as she witnessed everything. "Mommy, please tell me you're leaving him?" Natahalia cried. Marisol shook her head no. "Why not! He just assaulted your daughter? Mom, he's been cheating on you!" "Shut up Natahalia! I know he's cheating, and who cares. Let him cheat, go to bed, get out of my room!" Marisol stomped downstairs leaving Natahalia and Nicole in shock. "I can't believe this shit!" Nicole slammed her fist into the wall. The huge whole was in the wall, as Nicole broke down, staring at her now bloody fist. 'What has gotten into my mom?'
