Give Me A Reason

33: August Explodes!!!

Chris Pov

I woke up refreshed but still uncomfortable. I looked on Alicia's side of the bed to see her not there. Once I processed everything that happened I then realized where she might be which sparked up the fire again. I hopped out of bed checking the drawers for her clothes and to my relief they were still there untouched.

I let out a sigh, then I saw this note on top of the dresser. I read it and without warning I ran to the closet to get my shoes. I didn't even think to put on a shirt. Once I got in the car I sped off only thinking bout the note and what it said.

Dear Chris,
I know your gonna be mad but I don't care anymore. I understood how I made you feel and how it could've upsetted you but that still don't give you the right to beat me. Everything you ever got me, I left at your house because I don't want to be reminded of you at all. Christopher Maurice Brown, I love you truely but this the end of us and don't bother looking for me until you get help.

Love Alicia,

August Pov

It was 12 o'clock in the morning when I heard loud banging on the door. Since I wasn't sleep I thought it was Kenya trying to come back and start some more shit since we had a big argument over Alicia.

I wasn't gonna answer the door until I heard Alicia cry out my name. Not knowing what to expect I rushed to the door to be greeted by Alicia on the floor.

"What happened to you?" I said Not hesitating to help her up.

"He happened." she said but I could hardly understand her.

Her hair was a nappy mess and all her make up had ran leaving black trails on her face. Her clothes were almost falling off her small frame.

She tried to walk but she fumbled and I caught her just in time. I picked her up and carried her to my bed. I laid her down gently since she winched in pain. Then I noticed the hand print on the side of her cheek and the swollen black eye she had. Some of her fingernails were missing and she only had on one shoe with the other in her hand. The other shoe had a broken heel at the bottom which was covered in blood.

"Alicia who did this to you?" I asked rubbing her forehead.

She didn't say a word. Looking at my baby like this brought tears to my eyes. Maybe what ever happened had a reason which brought her back to me except for the fact that someone put they hands on her. Where the fuck is Chris? Do he even know about this? Maybe he the one who did this.

"Licia baby talk to me. I can't help you unless you talk to me." I asked looking at her brused body.

"He did it." she said very low.

"Chris did this?" I asked on the verge of loosing my mind. And when she shook her head yes, I completely went off the deep end.

How could he ever hurt someone that means the world to me. Someone that meant good by people. Someone that only tried to help. I looked at Alicia again and the longer I stared, the more I imagine him beating her. I couldn't take these thoughts anymore.

I started throwing lamps upagainst the walls. I was punching the air, knocking over things and breaking glasses.

Once my rage was over, I look over at Alicia who was sitting up in the bed with years pouring down her face. You could see the hell this girl went through and it all made me feel bad. If it weren't for me we would have never split up. I went to her which the look in her indecated that she was probably scared of me.

"Licia, it's ok baby....I'm not gonna hurt you...I here for you and only you, Ima get that nigga and you won't ever have to worry about him again as long as I live." after saying that she basically jumped in my arms, hugging me right and I knew then that she felt truly safe and I plan on keeping it that way.
