Sorry for the wait. I've been super busy with school. This is kind of short, but 95% done with the next chapter, so it'll be done soon. Thanks for reading. Vote/comment. Please excuse the mistakes, this is not edited.
Picking up Bella's car seat, I step inside the house I share with Santo. We found a beautiful home about nine days ago and this is our second day living in it. We still have a little decorating to do, but it's coming together nicely.
The house is smaller than the one Chres had, his was three stories, this one is only one. I think it's perfect for us.
I smile, heading to the living room, still holding Bella's car seat.
Once I get in the living room, my heartbreaks.
Chres was on the couch, with Amiyah. And they were kissing. They were facing each other, Amiyah had her arm around his neck, he had one arm around her waist.
I close my eyes and open them again, hoping I'm just seeing things. But it's real. After everything she's done, he still likes her.
I turn on my heel, going to set Bella's carseat in dinning room. After that, I go back to the living room. She's already got away with stuff too many times. This time, she's in my house, not Chresanto's mother's. So if I were to fight her, it'd be okay. As long as Bella isn't in the room.
I tie my hair up while I walk into the living room, and as soon as I get in the living room, I jerk them apart and grab Amiyah by the hair. I pull her off the couch and it goes from there, before I know it, I'm just swinging and Amiyah is pinned down. I hit her in the face a couple times, and she tries to hit me back.
"Baby, stop!" Chres yells, looking up at him, I stand up. He looks at me with apologetic eyes, but it doesn't stop me. Before he gets another word out, I punch him in the jaw.
"You two deserve each other." I roll my eyes, turning on my heel and walking out.
"Wait, Kayla, I'm sorry." He tries to grab my hand, which makes me turn and smack him again.
"Really, Chres? Really? We were supposed to get married!" I feel my eyes burning. "After everything I've given up for you, you do this to me."
"I didn't mean it." He tries to defend himself.
"I'm sure she didn't mean to get pregnant by someone else, but it happened."
"It was just a kiss. It didn't mean anything." He tells me.
I scoff, "Sure, you kissed the girl you thought you loved for years. No biggie."
"Don't leave." He grabs my hand, keeping me from walking away."
"You know, at the beginning of this relationship, you were the one that was afraid you'd get hurt." I laugh sadly. "Tuh."
"Baby, I'm sorry."
"Your baby is over there." I look at Amiyah, who was still laying on the floor, with a bloody nose."
"Kayla, I'm sorry." He pleads, taking my hands in his and getting on his knees.
"Should have thought of that before you kissed her." I take my hands away, turning and walking to the door. "I'll be back to get Bella in a day or two. We'll have to co-parent."
I kiss Bella's forehead, telling her goodbye and I love her. I ignore Chres all together, then walk out the house.
I decide to stay a hotel tonight, I can look for apartments tomorrow.
I can't believe he cheated on me. He promised we'd be together forever. Has he been cheating on me the whole time? Since I got the text about him being in the club that one day?
Eventually, I have to pull over because I can't see through the tears. I grab my phone, calling my mom.
"Hey, sweetie." She greets happily.
"Can I come over?" I sniff.
"Of course, what's wrong?"
"I'll tell you when I get there." I close my eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too, be careful."
You know how when you fall down you can keep yourself from crying, but as soon as you see your mom, the pain is unbearable, and you start crying? Yeah, that's what I did.
As soon as my mom hugged me, I started crying. "What happened?"
"He cheated on me." I cry. "You were right."
"Oh, no." She sighs.
"What's going on?" I hear Drew ask.
"Kayla!" Keaton yells, running into the room. He notices what's going on, and gets quiet.
"Drew, get me the ice cream." My mom says. "We'll be up in Kayla's room."
My room is still pretty much the same, except my things are gone, like my clothes. "Alright, what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it." I sniff.
"I'm gonna go get the movies and the sweeties, I'll be right back." She kisses my forehead.
Chres calls again a couple seconds after she leaves and I actually answer.
"What?" I sniff.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen. She came over and said we needed to talk, but she wanted to wait until you were there, and she kept trying to come closer, and I kept pushing her away, but then she kissed me and, and, I don't know what I was thinking. But, baby, please, you have to believe me. I didn't mean for it to happen. I love you so much."
"Which is why it hurts so bad that you did this." I tell him. "We were engaged, Chres."
"Were?" He asks, his voicing cracking again.
"I just, I need some time to think about things. Maybe we're not ready for this." I answer.
"Baby, I'm sorry." He apologizes, and I can tell he's crying. "I love you, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."
"After all she's done to you, cheating on you, getting pregnant by another man, taking fifteen thousand dollars, hurting your daughter, disrespecting us and your family. After all that, you still kissed her. Doesn't that show that you don't love me enough to stay faithful to me, someone who has never hurt you?" I ask, tears still streaming down.
"Baby, no. It isn't like that. I love you so much. It just, I don't know. I know there is no way to justify it or make it better, but I love you and I don't want to lose you."
"You know it's funny, in the beginning you thought that you'd be the one that got hurt." I laugh sadly. "You two deserve each other."
"I don't want anything to do with Amiyah. I want you. I want to marry you, start a family, grow old." He pleads. "Please, I'll do anything."
"Just give me some time." I sigh, not knowing what else to say. Maybe we'll work it out, maybe we won't.
"Okay, baby. I'll do whatever it takes. Just please, think about giving me another chance. I love you and I don't know if I can make it without you." He tells me.
"I will. I love you, Chres. It just really hurts." I admit.
"I know, and I'm sorry I'm putting you through this."
"Hopefully, we can work it out."
I hope we can.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter, next one will be up soon.
What'd you think? Of Chres? Kayla? Amiyah?
