Love is not a black eye.

Rekindling a fire

Here's to the girls that stick around with the assholes because you love them so much. champagne glasses up. Enjoy..

Dante'. . .

"Jalia!" I yelled in shock as her small frame collapsed into my arms. I took the time to scan my eyes over her body. She looked so weak & frail. She had cuts & bruises all over her body. I felt my anger slowly start to rise at the thought of someone hurting her. I looked at her beautiful face & calmed down instantly. I picked her up bridal style. She was extremely light. I carried her into my bedroom, gently laying her down. She winced slightly when I touched her face. I really had to take the time & try to figure out what the fuck happened to her. I had a real bad feeling that I was going to have to kill somebody soon. When somebody messes with Jalia, I turn into a completely different person. My eyes started turning black as my temper rose. I think that son of a bitch Anthony had something to do with this. Gazing at her face one last time, I stormed out of the room. I was going to find out what happened to her if it was the last thing I did...

Jalia. . .

I woke up, blinking slowly. I had been placed in a comfortable bed with blankets wrapped around me. I looked around the room for Dante' but he was nowhere in sight. Wincing slightly & with alot of effort, I got out of the bed. I didn't have a clue to where I was going because I had never been here before. I left the room, walking down the hallway. I heard sniffles coming from the living room. Wandering in, I spotted Dante', eyes bloodshot red, gun in his hand & angry tears falling. I knew he was pissed off. After all, this was my Bestfriend so I knew everything about him. "Dante'? Baby?" I spoke softly. I still didn't have much of a voice. He glanced at me briefly before turning back to his shut down phase. I sighed, walking toward him. I plopped down on his lap, laying my head on his chest. His heart beat rapidly. I craned my neck to look him in the eye. "Dante' baby, look at me." I spoke with power in my voice. He reluctantly looked down at me. "Calm down sweets. I'm okay." I said barely audible. "NO YOU'RE NOT." He roared, shaking my small body as he yelled. He took a deep breath, calming himself down. "Look jay," He began, wrapping his arms around me. "I'm just pissed off that I wasn't there to protect you. I feel like shit. This is all my fault.." He said, hugging me closer to his chest. "Y-You didn't know Dante'." I spoke softly. "I know jay. I-I just wish I was." He croaked. We both sat there in silence, not speaking. It was like our tears spoke for us. I listened to his heart beat as he sung to me gently. "And girl I know that I can't take away ya pain. But I can be ya band-aid.." His voice vibrated in his chest as he sung to me. I felt so safe with Dante'. I felt that I could start over & actually make it. But the thing is, I think that I'm in love with Dante'. All along, he's been there for me since 4th grade. I just feel for him something that I can't even explain. I never thought that I'd fall in love with my BESTFRIEND. But love is soooooo unpredictable. I mean look at where I'm at now. The man I married started out one way & ended up another. Now I'm on the run from him. But somehow, I feel protected in Dante's arms. I felt some kind of calm wash over me as my eyes started to get heavy. Everything was going to be alright after all. I closed my eyes & drifted into a well-needed, yet uneasy sleep. I hoped that I could block out these thoughts because I don't know how much more I can deal with.

And bam. Hey y'all. Don't rip my head off guys, I was extremely lazy. I know I need to update more often. 😑 But anyway, VOTEEEEEE & COMMENT FOR A TRILL NIGGA. Lmfao. Until next time my Bonitas & guapos. Muchas Gracias. ✌
