Love Without An Ending: BPLS Sequel

Determination

-Next Day-Breakfast

Everyone is downstairs except for the kids who are in the kitchen eating with each other. Nique cooked breakfast again for everyone, and they're all sitting at the table catching up.

Nique: So baby, you never actually told us how you came back.

Bre: Yeah, because I remember when at the hospital and Diggy said there was a fake bullet or something.

Prince: Then when Nique kept getting those notes at the funeral..

Roc: Look, this is really hard for me to explain. Well, it's gonna be hard for Nique hear.

Nique: Why? I can handle myself.

Roc: *sighs* Ok. I never died..

Bahja: No shit.

Jacob: But you were shot though right?

Bre: Well he had to be, we were all in the house.

Roc: Yeah I was shot, but after I got to the hospital and they left me in operation room, Ray came.

Nique: Wait..Ray? But he was shot..in the chest. 3 times. There was no way he had the energy to come and get you.

Roc: He did..he was a hot mess. His shots were infected but he made damn sure he got me.

Bahja: So where have you been the past 7 months?!

Roc: In some abandoned apartment. Ray rented it out. And during the day while he went did who knows what, he had some guys torture me all day.

Nique: *tearing up* How?

Roc: They had me chained..so I couldn't do anything. They starved me, beat me..Ray wanted to hurt me in every way possible for not letting him have you. But when he was sent to a help place after what happened, his boys left. They unchained me, but they kept me locked in the apartment for weeks, months.

Bre: How could they be so cruel?

Roc: They had to follow Rays orders..they knew he was crazy so they did everything to please him. One day, I got out but they found me and locked me back up. While I was gone I found a phone, some money...Babe I wanted to call you so bad but I knew it wasn't safe. So instead I texted Bahja. I hoped and prayed she understand.

Bahja: So those texts really were from you?

Nique: *crying* Bahja you knew, and didn't tell me?

Bahja: I didn't know..I thought it was just a mean joke or something. I didn't wanna stress you out. I wanted you healthy for the babies.

Roc: Don't blame Bahja. There was no way for her know it was really me..I didn't give her much information. But a couple weeks before the wedding, Ray came back. He let me go and apologized so many times..he told me that he was sick but he was better now. He also told me he was going back to LA. After he let me, I realized how much of a mess I looked. I built myself back up, and was ready to come get you. That was until I heard you and Diggy were getting married. I texted Bahja telling her I was alive and outside the church. I sent her a picture of the doors and I guess she believed me. She came outside and started crying..she hugged me and talked me into coming to stop the wedding. She knew we belonged together. Then..you know the rest.

Nique: *crying* SO THIS WHOLE ENTIRE TIME, RAY HAD YOU!!! I CANT BELIEVE HE TRIED TO GIVE ME THAT SORRY ASS APOLOGY KNOWING WHAT HE DID!!

Bre: What apology?

Prince: You've seen Ray?

Nique: The day of the wedding..he came and apologized to me. He told me how sorry he was and that he'd never come back into my life again. Then he called me again! He wanted to check up on me. He told me he had moved back to LA and was never coming back. *sniffles*
