Unchained Heart

Chapter 13

Andre and I broke the kiss after the fifth knock on the cold glass. I look into his eyes and noticed that they were wide with surprise.

"Andre? What is it?" I asked him softly.

"Regan we've been caught."

"Well let whoever it is watch!" I giggled.

I tried to lean in for another kiss when Andre pushed me away.

"No Regan you don't understand look behind you!" He pleaded.

"Why it's probably Morris being nosey."

"Regan please! Turn around!"

"Come on Cymone! Why are you trying to ruin it?" I asked him aggravated.

I shifted my body to the window to find Prince standing there on the other side of the glass watching us. It wasn't at all Morris. I was shocked at first but then I really could care less if he saw or not. Prince backed away from the car door and sadly continued to look on. The pain in his face was never more clear. For the first time in months I no longer cared about how he felt about my life. If he could move on without warning then so can I.

"Let's go talk to him." Andre said in a near panic.

"For what? I'm glad this happened! He got exactly what he deserved!" I snapped in a rage.

"I know but still we should go out there and talk to him."

"Fine. We'll talk to him. Not like he'll fucking listen anyway." I hissed.

We both got out of the car as Prince just stood there in a frozen state in the middle of the parking lot. Andre came around from the drive side and slowly tried to approach Prince without setting him off.

"Skip? I wasn't trying to do anything intentional. This just happened. You know I'd never hurt you intentionally. You're still my boy. Just hear us out man ok?"

As Andre stated his case I just casually leaned against the hood of his car and gave Prince an ice cold stare. I don't think Prince was paying Andre any attention. His eyes were so fixed on me that he tuned Andre out completely. Andre kept trying to convince him that he wasn't trying to steal me away when I just decided to say it.

"Andre just let it go! Prince I kissed him purposely and it was damn good! Better that you could ever do in a million fucking years. I mean shit he kissed me so good I could have sworn he just cured my cancer!"

Andre turned to me quickly with his eyes bulging out of his face. Prince on the other hand stood with the same shocked look on his face as I remained on the hood of the car. Andre thought that prince might soon snap out of it and come charging for me so he told me to just stop talking. I'd much rather throw it in his face the same way he did to me. Andre tried snapping Prince out of his haze before nearly giving up.

"I don't know what to do anymore. It's like his brain just shut down." He said in defeat.

"Oh I know exactly what to do. Can you help me get my stuff from inside? I'm going home. TO MY MOTHER. At least I know she'll be there when I need her."

I went back to the house and ran inside to get as much stuff as possible to take back home. While I was packing the one thing I could think about was kissing Andre. It felt right but as I scanned the bedroom the memories of what me and Prince had shared over the summer were clouding my mind. The nights were spend making love to each other until morning. Laying beside him enjoying his company. The fun playful moments we had racing through the compound like we were kids. The countless hours in the studio watching him work. The conversations we would have about our childhood. The first time we shared a kiss. Those days now are long over. He moved on in his life and didn't say anything. He left me clueless and in the dark about what he was doing while I was away. I was doing everything a good girl would do. I never stepped out on him not even for fun. I would call him and even thought I would only get the answering machine I would still leave him countless messages throughout the day telling him how much I love him. I didn't see it then but I should have known that he had moved on with his life without me even in it. That's when I felt that deep seeded anger rise inside of me. I did t waste another second thinking about what we had because the more I dwelled on it the more pissed off I became. I threw my bag on the bed and furiously ran through the room grabbing everything I owned and threw it inside. I didn't care what it was. I cared less if it was folded. I could feel the anger pouring from my tear filled eyes.

"I had every right to do what I did!"

I thought to myself as I kept shoving my stuff inside of my suitcase angrily. After five more furious shoves I zipped it closed and bolted for the door. Just as I was about to walk out prince rounded the corner stopping me in my tracks. He could see my tears streaming down my face because I didn't think that he would be meeting me like this. I wiped my face and tried to walk past him but he blocked my path a few times.

"I'm not staying prince and don't try to convince me either. This is over!" I yelled with a slight sniff.

"Why did you do it?" Prince asked me in his saddest voice possible.

"Do what? Leave? Because I'm tired of you and your shit! That's why!"

"That's not what I'm talking about Regan and you know it!"

"Oh so now you wanna be mad!?!?! Fuck you Nelson you have no right to tell me how to feel or what to do!"

"Regan you kissed my best friend! How could you?"

"And you've been fucking other bitches while your on tour behind my back! How could you?"

"Why can't you believe that nothing happened?

"Because if you can find a way to lie to me about that then you would be willing to fucking lie about anything!"

Prince was very stunned. He didn't know what else to say . He stood there looking at me. His thoughts were racing a mile a minute as his eyes turned red with pain. It was good that he was finally feeling the burn of the shit that he had put me through. Missing my graduation. The lies about seeing other people. The simple fact that I've been trying reach out to him when I found out about my cancer diagnosis. It was all boiling over inside of me. I couldn't stand the sight of him anymore. I just pushed him hard out of the way.

"Regan! Wait! Please! Give me a chance to fix this!" He yelled as he ran after me.

I blew him off complete and ran out of the house before he had the chance to stop me. Andre was quick to meet me at the car and take my suitcase and put it in the trunk. I never wanted to leave Paisley so fast in my life. Andre closed the truck and got in the car quickly starting it.

"You sure this is what you want mouse?" He asked me.

"Yes just drive!" I shouted at him.

He threw the car in drive and away we went. I could see Prince in the side mirror standing at the curb of his compound. I was finally free of the pain that he caused. I watched as we got further away from the estate prince fade away into the horizon. I'm coming him mom. This time I'm staying home. Where I belong.
