Natahalia's Song

Secrets

Chapter 8

            Another couple dollar bills were placed in the hands of Nasir. Natahalia watched from the car as Nasir was preparing to come back into the car.  'This is not the way I want him to fiancially support our baby.' Nicole thought.

        "What's your problem?" Nasir asked noticing Natahalia's attitude.

       "Where is all that money going towards?" Natahalia questioned.

         Nasir rolled his eyes. "Answer me!" She demanded. "Not for the baby." "What the hell! Nasir the baby is coming and soon, you don't even care, it took the two of us to make this baby!" "I don't give a fuck. I have other shit to do, the baby isn't on my mind!" Natahalia swiftly got out of the car.   'He's such a douche! I hate him!'

           Nicole applied ice to the bruise on her face. Marisol was at work, Natahalia was somewhere, Nayla was outside with friends and Dominic was sitting in the living room. 

         I just wish he would leave. I just wish he would leave.

       

        Nicole began to panic as she heard footsteps near the door of the bathroom. Dominic pushed open the door. "Leave me alone." Nicole growled. "Why are you so mean? Don't be like that towards Daddy." Dominic pushed the door shut with his shoe and pushed Nicole into the corner.

      "Get off of me." Nicole tried pushing off Dominic off, but he was so much stronger. He pushed the hair away from her face and to the back of her ear. "If you're not too loud, then it will hurt, but if you're quiet, then we can have some fun."

       Dominic began unbuckling his belt. Nicole had no choice, she hated this,  it wasn't right, but Dominic could have anything happen to her. "Fine, do whatever you want." Nicole replied helping Dominic take off his shirt. "Finally, you've came around." Dominic began kissing all over Nicole's neck.

            "Nattie, what's wrong?" Nicole asked as she saw her sister crying in her pillow. Seeing her hurting was the worst feeling in the world, like a hit in the gut. "I can't do this anymore!" Natahalia cried in her pillow. "What do you mean? What happened?" "Nasir! The baby isn't even here yet and he's not doing shit, I can't raise this baby alone." "You won't I'll be here, Mommy will come around eventually." Nicole wiped the tears off of Natahalia's wet face.

           "Who was in the bathroom when I came?" Natahalia asked. Nicole's lip began trembling as Natahalia waited for a response. "You won't tell will you?" "Tell what? You're hiding something from me? I thought we tell each other everything." 

      'She won't understand why I'm hiding this.'

       "Don't tell anyone, but Dominic's been cheating on mom, with me." "You're sleeping with Dominic!" Natahlia yelled.  'She's going to hate me.'
