Chapter 35

:Same Day:

"I need to speak to Chresanto" She said. If you're wondering who I'm referring to, it's Katie. "Santo is currently unavailable" I said.

"Who's asking?" Santo wheeled up behind me. I mentally rolled my eyes and turned to him. "Katie wants to see you" I said in a low tone. I then moved to the side to let him through.

"Hey Chres" She spoke nervously. "Why're here?" He asked in a harsh tone. I just stood there waiting for her response. Waiting to see what she about to say. She's most likely gonna say that she's pregnant, just to bring herself back into the picture.

"Could you come out so we can talk, I have something really important to tell you" She asked twiddling her thumbs. He wheeled his chair outside the door and I closed it slightly.

:Chresanto:

"So what's up? Please don't tell me what I think you're about to tell me" I said. I already had the idea that she was pregnant in my mind, so I mentally prepared myself before she hit me with it.

"I have HIV" Then I froze. This was something I wasn't expecting to hear. "You have what?" I asked to make sure I wasn't hearing shit.

"HIV Chres... I just found out yesterday. Apparently I've had it for over a year, so I probably got it from my ex." She explained. I didn't say anything, only because I didn't have anything to say.

"So you telling me, that I could have that shit?" I finally asked. She slowly nodded. "You need to be tested right away chres" I shook my head not wanting to believe the words escaping from her mouth. It was like a ton of bricks just hit me in my face. "Leave bro"

"C-chres I'm-"

"LEAVE!" I yelled. She stood there frightened for a moment. "Sorry" she whispered before running off. I planted my face into my hands. I can't have that shit. I haven't had any symptoms, so that means something right? I sat outside for another ten minutes before going back in the house.

"So what did she want to tell you?" Indya asked walking from the kitchen. I shook my head. "Nothing Important.. She was just apologizing for what she had done. That's all" I lied.

Indya chuckled. "Oh okay.. I really thought she was gonna tell you that she was pregnant or something" I nodded. "Yea me too..." That would have been better than what she really told me.

:10:00pm:

"Okay babygirl, time for bed" I announced getting up from couch. She and Chresanto had been spending the whole day together, and I know she's tired out right about now.

"Okay... goodnight kiss for daddy?" Chres said poking his lips out. She threw her head towards him, landing a kiss on his lips. "Awww.. goodnight princess" Chres said before I took her from his arms.

As soon as I put her in her bed, she went right to sleep. Chres must have really tired her out, cause it usually takes her about ten minutes to fall asleep. As I was walking out her room, my phone started ringing. I took it out my back pocket and seen it was the hospital. I answered.

"Hello?" I answered cracking Ariah's room door. "Hi, this is doctor Holmes" The man said. "Oh hi Doctor"

"Hey, so we had took some blood from Chresanto to do an up to date blood test for him and we actually found out that he tested positive for HIV" He said. My heart stopped.

"What?" I asked in complete shock. "Yes, he has HIV. Turns out he's had for quite some time now. Is he around you?"

"N-no he just went to sleep" I lied. "Oh okay. Well if he wants to be treated I suggest that he comes tomorrow to start." He finished.

"O-okay, I'll be sure to tell him" I said. "Okay have a good night" I held back my tears. "You too" I said before the line went dead. HIV? This is what Katie probably told him, but why would he lie. I got myself together before walking downstairs back to the living room. He was sitting on the couch watching wild'n out.

"Hey is she sleep?" He asked when I sat down on the couch. I nodded. "You okay?"

"Santo, I jus got off the phone with your doctor... And he just told me that you have HIV" I blurted out. I just got straight to the point. He sighed and looked down. I reached for the remote and turned off the TV.

"I know" He mumbled. "You know?" I asked. "So that's what Katie actually told you right" He glanced up at me and nodded. I dont know wether to be Mad at him or feel bad for him right.

"Why did you lie Santo? You were planning to keep this a secret or something?" I asked. "I didnt want to tell you until I found out the truth. I didnt know if I had it or not. I just knew that Katie has it and I could possibly have it too" He explained. Tears were now streaming down my face. The man that I love, has this deadly disease. The man that showed me what love was, is sick. "I cant believe this" I mumbled. I felt him pull me into his arms.

"Stop crying.." He mumbled. "We need to take you back up there first thing in the morning, so we can start the treatment" he shook his head. "Why're you shaking your head?"

"Cause I dont want to do that" I pulled away from him and looked at him as if he was crazy. "What do you mean? No Chresanto you're going-"

"No i'm not Indya. I dont want to go to some treatment everyday or week or however it works. I do not want to go through that, knowing I'm still gonna die. It's just a waste of time and money" He said.

"Are you serious Chresanto? I don't know what's going on with you. It's like you're just giving up everything. You act like you have nothing to live for" I said.

"That's because I don't! I lost my career, I probably can't ever get a job ever again. Everything is just falling apart for me" His voice became hoarse. He was breaking down. I've never seen him like this. His face was now buried in his hands.

"I can't even provide for my daughter anymore" He sobbed. I pulled him into my arms and let him cry in my chest. "It's okay.. You have me. I got you" I said quietly.

This was an emotional chapter for me. But this book is now coming to an end. I think I said that a few chapters ago, but it's real now. The next chapter is going to be the last. I'm not gonna lie, I had major writer's block for this book. I didn't know what to write about, which is why i'm gonna end it. Another book coming soon though.
