LIFE ITSELF (A CHRISBROWN LOVE STORY)

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:HIDDEN TALENTS & THE CAMPING TRIP

DEANNA

"Waking up that night I had mix emotions about what had happen I wasn't sure if I was happy or sad or even angry that Chris came and took my choice from me but I know I was pissed at Jerome for calling Pat. I laid there not moving but feeling sick, and every time someone came in the room I would close my eyes pretending I was sleep it worked but not with Joyce she saw right thru it and called me out on it every time. I really didn't wanna be there and I was planning my escape the moment the house was quite I was going to leave I didn't wanna be around anyone for a while and I felt that Chris and I needed some much need space but I didn't know how to tell him without it being a fight or an argument. So I laid there till I heard Chris snoring like a wild bear which made me giggle I got up out of the bed and gave him a kiss on the cheek and wrote a little note and left it on the pillow. I grabbed my shoes and creeped out the door and closed the door and turned around.

"AAAHHH, Tash you scared me" I said holding my chest

"Where you sneaking off too?" Tasha asked with her hands on her hip

"I'm not sneaking off I'm just going back to the hotel" I explained

"Why? Does Chris know?" Tasha asked

"No, because I just wanna be alone, me and Chris just need some space for a little while" I answered and by the look on her face I could tell she understood.

"Okay, I'll drive you and I'll stay with you" Tasha said

"No I just wanna be alone really and don't you have school tomorrow?" I said

"Umm yes but it's an afternoon class and I'll come I'll leave you alone I won't say a word okay, I think he'll feel better if he knew someone was with you" Tasha said I could tell by her facial expression she wasn't going to let up or take no for an answer.

"Okay" I gave in

"Good let me go get some school clothes" Tasha said and walked back to her room and out the front door. A few hours later I laid in the hotel suite wide awake holding my stomach just thinking about the life I had growing inside of me any girl in the world would love to be in my place I laid there listening to beautiful people and how this song always picked me up and it did just that I kept it on repeat and Tasha stayed true to her word she left me alone not bothering me even tho I could see her feet outside the door a few times I laid there till I finally fell asleep wearing Chris's letter men's jacket that he wore in the Nigga in Paris video, I saw it when I was leaving the room and I took it with me.

CHRIS

I woke up to the smell of breakfast, I sat up and looked and saw Deanna wasn't there. She must be down stairs so I got up went into the bathroom and washed and brushed my teeth throw on some jeans and my black Chanel slippers and my L A hat and opened the room door and headed down stairs where I could hear people talking.

"Morning baby" mama says kissing me on the cheek.

"Morning momma" I said cheesing like a big baby

"Morning" Janice says

"Morning" I said as I sat down as momma place a plate of food in front of me Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Cheese grits and a cup of coffee. I said a prayer then started eating.

"Is Deanna coming down for breakfast, 'cause I wanna know how she take her eggs" mama asked not looking up from the stove... I looked up from my plate wiping my mouth.
