The Bully

◆Chapter 3

▲Willow

"What the fuck?" i whispered backing away. I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Why tf you just do that?" i asked out of confusion

"Be-Because I, I, I Love you Willow!" he yelled causing me to buck my eyes. I know this nigga is lying, "how the hell do you "Love" me and you fucking beating me?" i thought to myself.

I looked at him one good time before turning and running out the room. I cant believe this shit, how in the hell do you "Love" me? Hell no, im not falling for that shit.

I ran downstairs and told Mya and Tisha i had a ride home. I wasnt staying here not looking like this and especially after what Vixen said to me. They noddded, not noticing my face because i covered it up.

I walked out the house, but someone grabbed my arm.

"You alright?" Delonte asked with consern in his voice.

I avoded eye contact, because i didnt want to get in my feelings now here, not now."Yes im fine, i gotta go" i said wiglung my arm out of his light grip and walking away.

"Since when did Vixen ever Love me? Is it true? Noooo it cant be. He doesnt love me. I sure as hell dont love him. Who tf does he think he is? I fucking hate him! He ruined my damn life for the past 3 years. Hes ruined everything and expects me to believe that bullshit? But what if what he was saying is true?" I thought to myself as i walked down the street. I sighed and pushed that last thought to the back if my mind. All this was weighing heavy on me. As i countinued to walk i was closer to my house when i seen a black car with tinted windows parked in an alley. I seen this car ever since i left the party and im gettng scared. I wasnt gonna let them follow me home so i tunred back around and startes running, and the car came speeding twords me. I cut through an alley and jumoed some fences, ya girl did hurtles in track, but i came to my street and looked around me and didnt see the car. I walked up to the gate that enclosed our gated community and showed my i.d to the officer then walked down the street to my house.

Tonight has been crazy, all i could think about was what Vixen has stuck in my head "Because I Love You Willow" keeps repeating in my mind.

I walked up the pathway to my house and walked in to hear voices in the living room.

"Willow?"

"Yes Ma?" i asked going to the bathroom, i had to cover this bruise up beforr she says anything.

"Where are you sweetie?" bathroom.

"Oh, ok When your done come into the living room i have some people i want you to meet." she said sounding a little scared, but estacic at the same time. I rolled my eyes and applied some foundation, then floshed the toilet so it can make it seem like i used it. I washed my hands then came out and went into the living room where i heard the voices. I walked into it and seen a man and a boy who looked to be about 17 or 18 and my mom sitting down on the couch conversating.

I cleared my throat and they all looked at me. My mom got up and guided me to the couch next to her.

"Willow i have something to tell you." she smiled, i was dead confused. Who are these people.

"This is Chris my Fiance and Darnel his son" i looked at her like she had 3 heads.

"Fiance?" i yelled standing up. "When in the hell did this happen? Cause it seems like you dont tell me shit anymore. What the hell mom? I never even met th guy and you up and Gonna marry this nigga?" i continued yelling pointing in her face.

"Listen Willow, it was my idea not to tell you" Chris started to say.

"I dont fucking care! I dont know you, quit talking to me!"

"So let me guess theyre moving in with us huh?" i asked my mom looking at her dead in the eyes. She nodded her head yes looking down.

I couldnt believe this woman, I looked down at the ground and tears begun to form in my eyes. I looked back up at my mom to see her staring at me.

"Willow I-" she started to say, reaching for my hand, but i backed away and walked up to my room slamming the door.

"Was she serious?" i asked my self as i flopped on my bed and burried my face in a pillow. I heard a knock at the door, but i didnt want to be bothored. But they just kept knocking.

"What!" i yelled with my face still in the pillow.

"Can i come in?" i heard Darnell say.

"For what?"

"Because i want to talk" he replied with hope filling his voice.

i sighes beofre allowing "Come in"

"The door opened slowly and in came Darnell my soon to be step- brother. So im guessing this was why my mom was never here on fridays. Probably out with his dad.

He came and sat on the left side of my bed. I didnt bother taking my face out the pillow.

"Listen willow, your not the only one finding out. I just found out today. I admit i was a little mad, But you know what i got over it because my dads happy. Hes never been this happy in years and it makes me feel happy for him. You should feel happy for your mom, shes happy too. Plus i always wanted a little sibling" he laughed nudding my arm.

I smiled a little and took my face out the pillow to look at him. I guess i should feel happy for ma. She does seem happy. "How do you know that im not older than you?" i asked him

"Cause you look 15, how old are you?" i gave him a mug, i dont not look 15

"16 Fyi. About to be 17 in 2weeks" i replied in a matter of factly tone.

"Exactly, im 18 girl" he said muffing my forehead causing me to laugh.

"Whatever, So uh you graduated already?"

"Nah, im a Senior this year. I just turned 18 a month ago." he said

"Oh, cool" i replied playing with my fingers. He nodded and there was a silence for a while.

"So when yall moving in?" i asked still looming down.

"Tomorrow" damn thats fast, i thought to myself.

"Oh, well uh im gonna go talk to my mom, you can watch t.v or whatever." he nodded and i walked out.

I walkes to my moms room and the door was closed, i heard her crying and Chria trying ti comfort her. Then and there i felt bad, i never made my mom cry and it was killing me. I knocked on the door and slowly opened it. I walked in and stared at my mom, her and chris stared back at me.

"Mom im sorry, Im so sorry i didnt mean to make you cry, i was just uppset you didnt tell me, it was just a shock to me. I didnt mean to yell at you like that, im so sorry mom, i want you to be happy, and im happy for you. And chris im sorry for going off on you like that, i just didnt know what to do. Yall shouldbt of kept this away from me, but if yall are happy i am too." i said crying as i appologized.

My mom got up from her bed and gave me a hug."Baby im sorry we didnt tell you, i promise i wont ever keep a secret from you ever again" she said hugging the life out of me.

I nodded then looked over at Chris, who looked like a third wheel. I went over to him and hugged him too. "Thanks for making mom happy Chris" he hugged back and nodded

"Your welcome Willow, and i will continue to do so." He added smiling. I smiled then untached from the hug and left the room. I went back into mine and took a seat on the couch, Darnel was sprawled out on my bed and i didnt feel like moving him.

Tooday was a looooooooong day. I really dont know how i feel. I slowly closed my eyes, then drifted off into a deep sleep.
