Opposites Attract

Chapter 11

Mia's POV

When I left Christopher's house I was so mad that I cried. I got in my truck and pulled off. I'm not sure how far down the road I got before I broke down and cried. I pulled to the side of the road and tried to pull myself together but nothing was working. I'm not sure how long I was sitting there before Christopher's friend Trent was knocking on my truck window. "No leave me alone!" I was about to start the truck but he opened the door. "I'm sorry he did that to you." He said hugging me. "Really?" "Yeah I don't know how he got to be so stupid.." I just shook my head. "If he won't help you I will." "Thanks but that's alright... I don't want him to think that I'm still trying to be in his life by you being there for me. You know.. I have this." He tried to talk me into letting him help but I said no. When I finally pulled myself together he let me go so I went home. I ran myself a bath and got in. While I was sitting there I thought about what I said to Christopher. I don't usually let my anger get the best of me but I don't understand how someone could do something like that. He kept asking for the truth and I've done nothing but tell him the truth. Why he felt the need to go through all of that is beyond me. I gave him a way out and told him that I wouldn't harass him or go for child support. I shook my head and tried to relax. When I finished in the bathtub I put my pajamas on and went and got in the bed. It's still early but I didn't have anywhere else to go so I'm going to spend the rest of the day in the bed. While I was laying there my phone beeped. "Who is that??" I looked at the phone and saw it was a number I didn't know texting me. I opened the text and read it. "Now that he's out of the way we can be a family." I knew it was Peter. "You don't honestly believe that Peter." "I love you." "You single handedly ruined my children's lives with your stupidity and selfishness and you believe that I'd want to be anything to you? Really Peter??" "I love you Mia." "The feeling is definitely not mutual bud.. Leave me tf alone and stop texting me or I will screenshot these messages and send it to your probation officer." "HE WAS THE ONE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IT!! I LOVE YOU AND I JUST WANT US TO BE TOGETHER!" I didn't even respond I just put the phone on the nightstand and found a movie. All through the movie Peter called and texted me. "I'm gonna have to change my number again." I mumbled and shook my head.

Two weeks later

Chris's POV

My family just left from spending the weekend with me. I was going to go out but Tony texted me saying that they were coming over. In the middle of my thoughts I heard the door. I went and let everyone in then we came to the living room. Tony, James, Trent, Stephanie, and Cynthia came in. I was surprised to see Trent because he hasn't answered my calls, text messages, or came over since the day that stuff happened with Mia. "What's up y'all?" I said. "Hey." Tony said. When they finished everyone sat down except James. "What's wrong?" "You tell me." He seemed pissed off so I'm guessing he was mad about Mia. "I don't know what you're talking about." "Why did you wait until I was out of town to pull that crap with Amia?" "She said she lied so I'm not going to fight with you." "Ohhh so nothing she said before that night matters? Only her telling you what you wanted to hear matters?" "She said she lied and she said.." "Stephanie mind your business cause you don't know her.." He snapped. "Obviously you don't know her either James.. She said she lied." I snapped and he started laughing. "Oh this is funny?" "Yeah because you sound like an idiot. 'She lied!! She said she was lying!!' Come on now.." He laughed. "We both know that girl wasn't lying to you. She told you what you wanted to hear and you ate it up." "You don't know that girl at all.." "I know her and her entire family! THAT BEING SAID I KNOW SHE HAS NO REASON TO LIE TO YOU!" "She.." "But you know what Chris? This ain't none of my business. As a man I respect your right to make decisions for yourself. And later on when this blows up in your face.. And we all know that it will.. As a man I want you to respect my right NOT to help you." "What kind of friend are you?!" Stephanie snapped. "What kind of friend are you Stephanie?! To sit there on your ass and watch him make poor decisions for himself and support it like nothings wrong?!" "He's my friend.. And when some gold digging whore tries to pin some child on him and he decided to defend himself, you damn right I'm going to support him!" She snapped and James started laughing and sat down. "If she was such a gold digging whore, Stephanie, why didn't she go to the tabloids?" Trent started and Stephanie just looked at him. "I mean think about it.. she could be getting money out of the ass. Sell her story to TMZ then smack his ass with child support.. Or she could blackmail him.. I mean she has a DNA test that says he's the father... She could be getting paid." He had a condescending look on his face. "Maybe she's waiting to have the babies then she's going to do all of that." "And if she doesn't?" "Then maybe she's know he isn't the father of her kids like she said!" She snapped. "Or.. Maybe she really doesn't need shit from him like she said." He snapped. "As far as I'm concerned she lied so let's move on." I cut in. "Yeah let's move on and pretend like you don't have issues." Trent snapped but I ignored him.
