Bitten By Love

Chapter 29

***Simone's POV ***

"Racquel!!! How do you know that?" My dad shouted. I've never seen him so enraged before.

"Simone. Please give your father and I some privacy." My mom said calmly and I left, pulling the door shut,leaving a little crack so I could hear what they were saying.

"Did you cheat on me?!" My dad asked. "Answer me!"

"Veron seduced me." She said, almost whispering.  "I was always at home alone and when he dropped Simone off at school he would always came back and help me with the house work. Eventually we started having a little wine after the chores where complete. Then we ended up having sex once."

"This is unbelievable! How could y-"

"I'm not finished." My mom continued. "Two days after that, he wanted to have sex again but I refused. He got really angry and threatened to break our family apart unless I pay him off.....I have been paying him since that day."

I felt like I was going to be sick.

I heard something smash against the wall and my dad stormed out. "I'm going to kill that bastard!" He shouted as he stomped down the stairs.

My mom and I followed behind him.

"Oh hey Mr. Channer." Trey said. "I was about to leave. Is-Is everything ok? You look really upset."

"You guessed right." My dad said as he grabbed Trey by the neck. "So you had sex with my wife huh?"

Trey smirked. "Yes I did.........and it was freaking awesome!"

I gasped. I couldn't believe be just said that.

Wham!

My dad's fist connected with Trey's nose and it started to bleed. Trey wasn't even fighting back as my dad punched him over and over again. He just stood there taking the beating with that stupid smile on his face.

"Are you going to kill him?!" My mom screamed.

My dad shoved Trey to the floor and kicked him in his gut. He shouted at my mom. "How could you defend this low down, good for nothing son of a bi-"

"Uhm... Mrs. Channer. C- could you please call me an ambulance?" Trey grunted. "And Mr. Channer, you will be hearing from my lawyer."

I starting sobbing. How can this be happening. My sobbing turned into uncontrollable crying and my mom tried to shush me. "This is not your fault, honey."  She comforted.

My dad looked looked distraught. I could see the hurt and pain in his eyes as he looked my mother up and down with disdain.

"Racquel, I want a divorce!" My dad said all of a sudden then stormed out of the house slamming the door behind him and left us with the bloodied Trey.

I couldn't believe any of this was happening. My family was falling apart all because of Trey.

A few minutes later, the ambulance that my mom had called, came to pick up Trey.....and he was still smiling.
I'm sure that he needs to see a psychologist.

My dad didn't come home that night or the night after that and on the third night when he came back he was drunk out of his mind.

He slept on the couch getting up every few minutes to get a drink or use the bathroom. I sat in my room crying, my shoulders heaving up and down. I didn't like seeing my dad like this.

"Are you ok honey?" My mom asked. I didn't even realize that she came into my room.

I wipe my eyes with the tail of my blouse. "I'll be ok Mom."

"I know honey...." She rubbed my back. "But your father is very upset and we need to work things out..... Do you mind spending a few days with Josh while we work things out?"

I nodded. My mom helped me pack and I was ready to go by morning. I informed Josh that I was coming over and he was thrilled.

****
It was the weekend and Josh and Davia had gone out on a date. Can you imagine that? I'm here to spend time with him and he's gone out on a date leaving me here alone.
I clicked the TV on and flipped through the stations trying to find something interesting to watch. I was bored out of my mind. Josh's mother wasn't here for the weekend so I sat in the lonely house.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I was so happy that I got a text and when I saw it was from Ramon, a smile spread across my face.

Ramon: The weekend is boring without you. :(

Me: Yeah right!

Ramon: I mean it. I really wish you were here. We could spend the night together chatting about girly things. :)

Me: Ok. I'm coming over......and you better have snacks.

Ramon : Haha. Of course I do.  ;-)

I was just joking when I sent the text but the more I sat in the lonely house, the more I wanted to be with Ramon.
I exhaled.

This will probably be the best mistake I'll ever make.

I packed an overnight bag quickly, leaving a note telling Josh where I was.

When I knocked on Ramon's door, his mom answered the door with a big smile on her face.
"Hey Simone. Come in." She stepped aside allowing me to enter. "Ramon didn't tell me you were coming. I would have prepared something for you."

"That's OK Mrs. Watson." I told her.

"If you need a snack just call me. Ramon is up in his room." She was so happy and bubbly its really hard to be sad around her.

I walked up the stairs as quietly as I could. The door to Ramon's room was opened and I went in. He was sitting with his back to me, with a guitar in his hand.

"..........I touch your face in the rain
I can feel your pain
And it's driving me insane.
Why do you have to be so pretty, pretty, pretty......." he sang and I couldn't stop myself from laughing at his crappy lyrics.

"Geez! You scared me." He quickly closed the book he was singing from and put his guitar in the corner of the room.

"So.....the great Ramon Watson writes songs? How exciting!" I teased him.

"Shut up." He said as he playfully threw a pillow at me.

He stopped smiling when he saw my overnight bag. "You're staying the night?"  he asked.

"Yeah is that going to be a problem?"

Ramon smiled. "Quite the opposite."  He rushed over to me, threw me over his shoulder and starting spinning.

"Put. Me down!" I pounded his back until he finally threw me on the bed.

We both laid on our backs staring at the ceiling.

"So what caused you to faint?" Ramon asked after a few minutes.

"I really have no idea." I lied as the image of Trey getting married flashed into my mind.
I didn't want to think about him. Not tonight. I'm going to forget about all my problems and Ramon was the right person to keep me distracted.
