Ebony's Journey, Macarevhic's Story

Chapter 29 Ebony

"I win again!" I yell in victory. "Man whatever chica." Macarevhic says. "Aww, my bebe' mad, what a perdedor adolorido!" I gloat. "I ain't no sore loser, chica." I love it when he calls me chica for some reason, it sounds sexy when he says it.

"Plus I let you win." he says. "whatever I won fair and square." I've beaten him three times in a row, on some zombie slaying game. I've never played before and I still won. I'm incredible. I kiss him on the lips I love this boy I swear I do. I just need to work on myself so I can treat him a little bit better. Arod has been calling, and I haven't been answering.

He's crazy, but I'll fight him again if I have to. I saw the video of Macarevhic beating down Arod in the club and I'm touched by it. But I also don't want Macarevhic out there fighting my battles.

I don't want him to get in any trouble. "What are you thinking about chica?" Macarevhic asks pushing back a strand of my hair. "I was thinking about how I'm gonna beat you again at this game!" I tell him. "So Ruth suggest that I go to therapy, can you believe that?' I scoff at the idea.

"I don't think that's a bad idea. I used to go to therapy. It helped me out a lot." "Why were you in therapy?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him. Now that I think about it I don't know much about Macarevhic's past. He shrugs his shoulders.

"I had anger problems." the look in his eyes tells me he really doesn't want to talk about it. Maybe he'll tell me one day. I can see a lot of pain and sadness in his eyes he must be thinking about his past.

I kiss him on the lips and I hug him. "You know you can tell me anything right?" I know I'm difficult right now but I'm always gonna be there for you Macarevhic. "Yeah I know beautiful chica." He kisses me on my cheek and moves to my other cheek and then kiss me on my lips. That move gets me every time.

"Look Arod stop calling me before I call the police on you!" I yell in my cell phone. I'm changing my number. "Ebony I'm sorry about the other day, but I'm changed now. I just want to see you to tell you to your face that I'm sorry."

"No thanks I don't even want to see you." "Look Ebony you can't get rid of me. I love you and if I can't have you nobody will. I mean it." I think for a moment. "I'll kill you first before you kill me!" I say angrily into the phone and I hang up on him.

"I hope you make good on your threat.' Ivory says. I didn't even know she was there." "He's just bluffing." "I don't think so Ebony, and you need to be careful or call the police on this fool" "I ain't calling the police on nobody, and I ain't scared of him.

"Just because you're not scared of him doesn't mean he still can't try to kill or harm you. Arod is crazy and you should stay away from him and change your number."

Ivory says in a warning tone. I roll my eyes at her. I know she's right this sucker man is crazy, but I can handle it. "I'm gonna be fine." Ivory stares at me, and I can tell she doesn't really believe me.

"What are you looking at?" I snap at her rolling my neck for emphasis. Ivory suck her teeth and roll her eyes at me. "Look, sista girl I done seen this boy take you down through a lot of bull crap and I think you need to tell this fool to step or have Macarevhic give him another beating.

Plus you remember what he did to you not too long ago. He just snatched you up out of this apartment, and he lucky I can't get a hold of him or I would bust a cap in him." I can tell Ivory is half joking, half serious on that last part. "Please, I don't need Macarevhic to handle my business and anyway it's my life and I got it under control." "Whatever look I'm going to a therapy session. Do you want to come with me?" I stare at her in disbelief. I knew she was goning but she has really gotten serious about them.

"How can you afford a therapy session?" I ask her. "Ruth is friends with a therapist and she got free sessions. I would really like for you to come." Ivory says. She shifts her weight from foot to foot, trying to keep balance in her fire red stelltioes. I sigh. I don't want to go, not yet. "I'll catch you on the next one." I can tell she's disappointed. "Whatever I'll be home later." She walks out closing the door behind her. Whatever nobody understands what I'm going through. The next morning my locker is filled with roses, teddy bears, candy, and jewelry boxes. I'm shocked; my baby Macarevhic is so amazing.

I know Macarevhic don't have a lot of money, not that I mind. "What the heck is this?" Macarevhic asks from behind me. This is as close to a curse word I have ever heard him say.

I turn around with a huge smile on my face, but it slowly disappears when I see a confused and angry look on his face. Wait a minute, this is Arod's doing. How could I be so stupid?!" Macarevhic is more of a simple romantic guy. This has Arod written all over it. This is his "I'm sorry" gifts. "I see you got my gifts Eb." says Arod.

How is he even at school I thought he dropped out? Both Macarevhic and I turn around so fast I'm surprised our spines didn't snap. He's there dressed in the latest fly gear as usual. Drita appears beside him. "Baby what are you doing here? I've missed you haven't returned my phone calls." Arod snaps his neck and gives her a look that I know too well.

Drita takes the hint and storms off. Yeah he's beating up on her, I can tell. Macarevhic grabs my hand and squeeze it. I can tell he's angry. I would be too. "I thought I told you to stay away from Ebony." Macarevhic says Arod downs an evil chuckle. One that makes me nervous. Arod is a lunatic. "Look boy, Ebony is fair game and she's mine and will always be mine. She gave me a gift that you will never have, I was her first." I ball my fists up. "She talked to me on the phone the other day, that's why I brought her the gifts." I look up at Macarevhic I see hurt and insecurity and anger.

"You liar!" I scream at him. Arod laughs again. In this moment I just want to kill Arod! Macarevhic storms off dragging me off with him. "I thought I told you to stay away from him. Are you still seeing him behind my back Ebony?!" Macarevhic red hot fire mad and I've never seen him like this. He's snarling at me. For a split second I see Arod. Oh God it's happening. He's' turning into Arod. I knew I, he was too good to be true. Macarevhic stops fussing at me and a look come across his face.
