Redemption.

Chapter 7: Wishes

Anthony

What did she mean? What the fuck did she mean?! Did she really just try to end things between us? Over the fucking phone?! I will hurt her, I swear I will. After five years she thinks she can just leave? Especially after I just slid a ring on her finger?! Did she really think it'll be that easy? I thought she knew who the fuck she was dealing with. Is my name not Anthony? I always get things my way.

Diamond, don't you love me? Do you not? Or were you lying to me? Something you're sure as hell is famous for. Fuck! The wicked things that are playing in my mind of what I would do to her is scaring me. I just want to hurt her so bad. As much as I love her and treated her like the queen I thought she was, she just turns around and does this shit? Baby girl, you're in for something.

"Yo Ant!"

My eyes shifted toward Joseph, snapping out of my reverie. "I called your name like five times already. You good? You been staring at the floor without blinking for like five minutes."

I sat up on the couch from being slouched over. "Uh, yeah I-I'm straight."

"You sure? You scaring me a bit, primo. You still thinking about what happened?"

"Nah, that's the last thing on my mind at this moment. It's some crazy shit going on in my head, man. I don't know what to do." I replied.

"Man, just be careful. I don't want you to do something else you'll regret."

Joseph got up and walked out the door. His little jump off was outside. She had been banging on the door, yelling for him to come out for a minute. My mind wandered back to Diamond. Not only did I want to hurt her, I wanted to hurt Patrick too. Shit, not even hurt him, I wanted to murder him. Just straight end his life like I've wanted to for years. I will not leave Atlanta until Patrick is dead. That's my deal. No matter how long it'll take, I will not stop until his body is laying in a casket.

Diamond just doesn't know all the shit she has started. Never knew she'd be dumb enough to try to leave me. Patrick probably has something to do with it! She didn't want to go until we got back in Atlanta. Fuck! That just makes me want to pump him full of lead even more.

I just want to watch Patrick suffer. I want to shoot him once in his abdomen and watch as he wails on the ground in agonizing pain. Next, I'll stick my finger in the bullet wound, causing more excruciating pain. Then, I'll shoot him in both his legs, then his arms, and lastly his head. I guess he still doesn't know who he's fucking with, so I'll just have to show him.

Diamond

Patrick gripped my chin then brought my lips to his. I didn't hesitate to kiss back. I wanted him back so bad I'd do anything for it. When we pulled away from each other, I peered down at my ring. I gripped the ring and slipped it off, balling my hand up tight with the ring inside. Patrick placed his hand on mine. "We'll figure everything out Diamond."

"I had spoke with Anthony earlier...about what he did. And...I tried to break things off with him. Of course he didn't take it lightly, who would as long as I've been with him? He told me he was going to hurt me and I don't know what to do, I'm so scared. For me and the kids." My eyes watered again.

"Don't worry, Diamond. He won't even get near this house without the police arresting him first. And plus, I'm here." Patrick said before standing up. "Let's go back down to the kids."

"Okay."

I followed Patrick out of my room and back downstairs. The kids were playing 'bumper cars' with Owen's toy cars. They'd ram the cars they had into another, causing them to flip around everywhere. It seems they enjoyed it a lot from how much they laughed at the cars spinning out of control.
