Tomrrow Will be Better

Chapter 3

I walked into my fully furnished park av apartment and walk straight to my balcony . It was a brisk Fall night and the stars were on full shine tonight. I looked forward to this view every time I came home . I stepped back inside and notice stacks of boxes near the fire place . I climbed up the stairs and saw a elderly women placing all my Mac makeup into another box .

"Excuse me ! What the fuck are you doing " I grabbed the next set of brushes she was about to drop in the box .

" So sorry mame I just doing my job "

She looked startled and was holding her chest . I felt bad for screaming at her . And started screaming for Chance . I finally found him in his office smoking a cigar not having a care in the world .

"Chance what the fuck is going on "

He turn to me and smiled with his pearly white teeth and deep dimples. He was a handsome man with the perfect jawline and chestnut skin .He was six years my senior when I met him and I thought he was the best thing since slice bread . Me and Sophie decided to cut school and go to the mall when a car pulled up beside us. Chance and his friend Rome got out and introduced themselves to us. Sophie brushed Rome off but Chance was sweet and I gave him my number. From that point on I was infatuated with him . He came from a rough home where his father constantly beat his mother until one day she couldn't take it and killed him in cold blood in front of him and his younger sister. She was then sent to jail facing 20 years in prison. Her only regret was that her children had to watch. Chance and his sister Danielle had to move in with his grandmother who was too old to take care of them . With little or no discipline Chance wound up in the streets where he made money to take care of him and Danielle who at that point had a family of her own with her college sweetheart she met at Morgan. Her husband who came from a high class family urged her to cut off her brother because he was a bad influence on her life. Danielle knew this wasn't true even though her brother did continue to sell drugs he put her threw school and took care of her when she had no one else hell he even offered to pay for her wedding. Having to choose between the love of her life and her family put Her in a deep depression that she couldn't overcome. She committed Suicide later on that year .

" I see somebody's home " he blew out a puff of smoke .

" why is there someone packing my stuff up into boxes "

"Because your leaving"

I thought I was hearing things

"Wh..what?"

"Your an intelligent girl you heard exactly what I said " he got up and walk to the window

" is this about this morning because if so -" he cut me off

"No Gabby you were absolutely right about everything you said and in light of your new found independence your getting the fuck out my house "

" oh so now it's Your house ! " I was livid

" Yes Gabby MY house please point to what the fuck you contributed "

Financially he was right I didn't put a dime into our 3 bedroom penthouse . But I made this house into a home . When I first moved in Chance had no furniture and only a carton of old milk in the fridge "

" I can't believe your upset because I want to go to school and better myself "

" Cut the bullshit you wanna go to school so you can be free from me ! for someone who has everything they want I don't understand why you would have to think of that as an alternative look at how long I've been taking care of us now all of a sudden u wanna go to school "

" Chance if something happens to you tomorrow what will I have to fall back on ! Just a high school diploma . I wanna learn and engage with people other than you and Sophie "

" See now the truth is coming out " he shook his head and took a long drag of his cigar

"What the fuck are you talking about " I was frustrated and could feel the tears coming on

" now you interested In meeting people " he made quotation marks with his hands .

Chance was always a jealous person and in the beginning I thought it was cute. Until I realize later in our relationship that I didn't have any friends except Sophie and she couldn't stand to be around him so I barely saw her at one point . I was locked into my relationship and I didn't care because I loved him that much.

"Chance your barely home and when you are it's not even for a long time every day I do the same thing over and over I just wanna go to school and maybe gain a career " I stood in front of him " please just understand "

He didn't look at me .

" Esmeralda will help you finish packing and a car will drop you wherever you need to go if you can't take everything I'll put it in storage " and with that he walked away.
