Story Of My Life

Midnight Memories

Sharell's P.O.V

There was an awkward silence as we all sat in the living room. The only sounds was the barking of a neighbors dog and us breathing. We sat in more silence as I avoided eye contact with Micheal. Chresanto grabbed my hand giving it a small squeeze. I look over at him nodding my head real slow.

"So what do you want. " I ask lowly. My voice Is shaky.

It took a moment for him to answer me. Half the time he just sat there rubbing his hands together. And I was growing really irritated with him. First of all I didn't want to be here, and now he's wasting my time.

"Well?!" I spat. Enduring a scold from my mom, I can't believer her right now.

"Sharell..." Michael starts. My body instantly stiffed as his voice traveled through my ears. "I just wanted to come and see you."

By now my eyes were filling up with tears. The ones I've been trying to hold back since we sat down. Chresanto scooted super close to me.

"But why? What is your purpose of wanting to see me if all you did was ruin my life?!" I say looking at him directly in his eyes. My vision is blurred from tears.

"And I'm sorry for all that-"

A smirk firms on my lips when I look over at Chresanto. "Are you hearing this right now? "

He nods.

"Does he think I'm just going to forget about all the things he did to me?" I shout in frustration. "And mom the fact that you had him come in here makes me sick."

"Sharell!" She said holding her hand over her chest. "Watch the way you talk to me!"

"No fuck both of you! Your supposed to despise the hell out off this nigga. But yet he's in your house talking to me? His daughter that he raped since she was 9. Lets not forget that he tried to kill you! He shot Chresanto, tried to kill me, and then kicked me in the stomach so hard that he...he." I got chocked up. "Kill my baby?"

"I did what?" Michael was shocked. His eyes were wide and focused on me.

"You kill my baby bitch." I spat.

"Sharell enough of th-"

"Shut up mom! You brought this shit upon yourself! I hate him so much. and I'm never going to forgive him so this little thing you set up was a waste of time. "

"Sweetie I was just trying to help."

"No you weren't. Because if you were....he wouldn't be here right now. I hope he was worth losing all respect I had for you."

"Now you listen to me- "

"No."

Tears were now streaming down my face. Chresanto helped me as I stood up. "Lets go. I just want to go."

With a nod Chres follows my demands and we leave out the small house without another word.

The ride home was silent. My head was leaning on the car window as I looked outside of it. It only took about 15 minutes for us to get home. And when we did I was so thrilled.

Candace and Alex had both put Lorenzo to sleep for his nap. They asked If they could stay the rest of the day and if I needed them to watch the baby they would.

I said yes. After checking on my son I head straight for the shower. The warmbwater is hitting by body....it feels nice. If I could I'd stay in here forever. When I got out I threw on some black boy shorts and a purple tank top.
