"I believe that Sage was corrupted the whole time, and she was holding out on us"
I moved to get comfortable, but stopped completely when the pain in my stomach became overwhelming.
"Ow" I cried and closed my eyes, tilting my head back.
"Sage, what's wrong?"
The pain instantly disappeared, and I let out a sign of relief.
"What happened?" Bryson asked, sounding worried.
"My stomach was hurting. Like cramps or something"
"Go upstairs and get in my bed if you want"
I shook my head no. "I want to be with you"
"Y'all two are disgusting"
Bryson leaned down to kiss me on the lips.
"We disgusting, yeah?" He mumbled before pulling my lip into his mouth.
-
I ended up actually going into Bryson's room to sleep, but now I was awake, watching tv and folding his clothes.
Bryson didn't want our maids going through his stuff, so he did his own laundry.
"Boo, we bouta walk to the store. You want somethin'?"
"You're - you're leaving me alone?"
"Yeah. You gone be okay, right?"
I shook my head no. "Bryson . . ."
"We'll be right back, I swear" He mumbled and walked over to me, giving me a hug.
Something was wrong.
"I love you"
"I love you too" I said and looked down at my hands.
Bryson left.
I went downstairs to get a water bottle, and went back to Bryson's room, closing the door behind me.
I didn't like the door open when I was alone.
"Sage Motherfucking Wyatt. I knew you were going to snitch, I just didn't know when"
It felt like my blood had ran cold.
I thought about how long it would take me to exit the household.
"Don't try to leave, because I don't want to have to drag you up the stairs. Not while you're carrying my baby at least"
"Eric, please"
"You gone let me be in the little bastards life, right bitch? We gonna be a family?" He mocked me.
I shook my head no.
"You don't want me to be there to fuck you every night? I'll fuck you til it hurts. Just like before, remember?"
I closed my eyes to stop potential tears from flowing.
I felt Eric's hand on my face, and he yanked my chin upwards before turning my face side to side.
"Fucking dumbass bitch, don't know how to fucking listen. You must like me because it seems like you want me around you. Now I got niggas after me, and-"
He stopped talking and sent a hard smack to the right side of my face, making me scream.
"I should beat yo fuckin' ass again. Fuck with my money, Sage" He snatched me up by my hair.
I heard three loud popping sounds before Eric collapsed.
I let out a gasp before backing away, and turning to see who was responsible.
Covonte was holding a gun.
I heard footsteps behind him, and Bryson took the gun from him.
I was so scared that I couldn't cry.
"This ain't no damn movie. I'm making sure that this bitch really dead"
Bryson released several rounds into Eric's still body before kicking him in the head multiple times.
"Chill out bro" Covonte pushed him back. "You making a mess"
A mess of Eric's blood.
"Sage, come on" Keisha called from the doorway.
I looked at her with fear in my eyes before looking back at Bryson and Covonte.
They both had Eric's blood splattered on them.
"The clean up crew's downstairs"
I had come to the realization that all of this was planned.
I tried to wrap my head around it, but it just made me dizzy.
I could feel myself leaning before I hit my head and blacked out.
