Sinful Souls

#34

Aaliyah felt in tune with the mood the day was bringing. All day it had been dark clouds and heavy rain. But with rain came a type of cleanse that she felt was needed in her life. As she rode beside Darius to get her belongings, she could only hope that all the toxic things were removed out of her life. As bad as she wish one of those things would be Scar, the baby she was carrying would forever tie them together. On the opposite side of town, Scar was leaving the hospital. He had to get back home so he could talk to Aaliyah. Little did he know, he'd be seeing her sooner then he thought.

Sinful Souls.
They'll leave you breathless. They'll leave you cold. Faces of beauty and eyes that've never told. Lips that have secrets to hold.
Sinful Souls.

Aaliyah

"Thanks Darius. I'll be out in about thirty minutes alright? Text me if something change.",I said as I got out the car.

He nodded. "Take your time. I gotta call Jasmine anyways."

I smiled at him before closing the car door and walking up to and inside the house. The smell it usually gave off was giving me the feeling of home. But the feeling of home was making me sick to my stomach. I hadn't been here in so long it felt.

I shook my head to stop the memories from flowing. I closed and locked the door before going upstairs to what used to be my shared bedroom with Scar.

As much as I wanted to hate him I missed him. I grabbed my suitcase that only reminded me of the day I came on his doorstep with all my bags and he pulled a gun on me.

As I walked in the closet I laughed slightly. I was trying to hold back tears but when I smelt his cologne it only reminded me of him more.

I unzipped my suitcase and started to quickly take my clothes from the closet. I kept seeing his clothes and getting upset.

I couldn't handle it anymore. I sat on the floor and cried. Big hard tears that I'd been holding back for days now.

I rocked myself and let everything out. I could feel the pain all the way to my soul as I screamed out.

I just wanted it to stop.

Scar

I parked and immediately saw Darius' car on the curb. I walked over and tapped on the window. Of course he'd be on the phone with Jasmine.

"Aye man you straight?",He asked as he rolled the window down. I just shook my head.

"It's been a long day. I just wanna lay down honestly. Why you out here?",I asked curiously.

He sighed.
"Look I didn't know you were coming by Aaliyah's inside. She's getting her shit. If you wanna get her back now is probably the best time."

I sighed and dropped my head. A feeling of determination washed over me.

"Ight I gotta go."

I rushed from drivers side of the car to the inside of the house. I walked in cautiously. I didn't want her to know I was here until I saw her.

Upon entering I could hear loud crying coming from upstairs. Guilt and depression instantly hit me. I caused this. I had to fix it.

I walked up the stairs quietly and the crying started to die down. I could hear drawers opening and closing harshly. She was definitely leaving.

I peeked around the corner to our room to see her crying silently to herself as she stuffed clothes into her suitcase. She stopped and leaned over the dresser to collect herself.

"I'm so stupid.",she said to herself.

I walked in.
"No you're not."

Her head snapped in my direction. I could see her shock in me even being there. She just turned away from me and continued to pack.

The rejection was hurting me but I deserved it.

"Listen Aaliyah. I don't care how long it takes, or how long I have to wait for you, or how many times I have to say 'I'm sorry', I'll say it. I'll do it. I'm gonna do whatever it takes because I don't want you to ever leave me."
She stopped with her back turned to me. At least I knew she was listening.

"I was so wrong for doing doing what I did to you. I should have never done that and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry but please don't leave me. I can't be without you and I know in my heart that you're not happy without me. So please just come back. I promise I'll make it right and I'll never cheat on you again."

She turned around with tears all over her face.

I walked towards her slowly as she sniffed. I was getting closer and closer to her and I could feel the connection again. But less potent than before.

"Can you please forgive me?",I asked as I wiped the tears from her face.

She didn't look at me but she was letting me touch her.
"Please Aaliyah.",I begged.

Darius

Aaliyah rushed out the house with puffy eyes and two suitcases. I quickly got out to help her with them.

I'm guessing her and Scar didn't work out.

She got in and me soon after. I drove off in silence.

"So do you want to get your pain medicines?",I asked.

She shook her head no.
"Why not?",I asked confused as hell.

"I don't think it's good to take pain medicines when you're pregnant."

I was stunned. Shook. What the hell?

"Aaliyah did you tell Scar?",I asked.

I could see from the corner of my eye that she was shaking her head no. "And I don't want you to tell him yet. I'm going to tell him on my own time.",she said.

I nodded. Guess I'd just have to keep a secret from my own brother.

"So...you guys aren't together anymore huh?",I asked curiously.

She chuckled.
