If I Was Your Man: A Story Of A Transgender: The Sequel (A LGBT Story)

Chapter 30: Lucky To Be Alive

Charles POV 

It's been a painful two weeks. It feels so good to be home. My eye is healing and I can see again. My leg is in a cast and I have to walk in crutches. It's hard being away from my kids. Angela is still watching them for us. I got to see my wife one last time. It was hard seeing her like that. She'll never see the kids grow up and get married. She's never coming back. I had Angela tell the kids that their mother was gone. C.J. took it hard and C.C. still doesn't understand all of this. There was a knock at the door and it was Sammie.

"What's up, Sammie?" I said.

"Nothing much. What's up with you?" said Sam in a small voice.

"I'm cool.  I can't go nowhere and I can barely take care of my kids. Angela and her mom been taking care of them." I complained.

"I understand that. I got something to tell you." said Sam.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I got a call from Wiz that Morgan is dead." I said.

"What?! I thought she was in jail again. Are you positive she's dead?" I asked.

"Yes." said Sam.

"How?" I asked.

"After they put you and Brenda in the ambulance, the police went inside to arrest everybody in the house. I was outside and I heard screaming and multiple gunshots. Then Wiz came out the room holding C.C. and he handed her to me. I just took her to the hospital. I had no idea what happened in the room but I'm glad C.C. wasn't hurt." said Sam.

"So what happened after that?" I asked.

"I took C.C. to the hospital to make sure she's alright. The doctors examined her and I called Brenda's sister. She came by with her mother. The doctor came to me an hour later. He told me that he took C.C. upstairs for X-rays to make sure she didn't have any broken bones. Thank god she didn't have any. The doctor tells me she's got scratches on her arms and bruises on her legs. She was crying for you and her mama. I calmed her down and she was in so much pain. The doctors gave her medicine to help her sleep." said Sam.

"Damn it! I should of been there! I'm just glad my baby girl is alright. I wished I killed that bitch my damn self. She killed my wife! " I said.

"If you did, you would be in jail. I'm glad Morgan's dead. Wiz told me some other stuff. Aisha kidnapped Brenda from your house and took her to a bank and used Brenda's credit cards. Then she took her to some sleezy hotel and and stayed there all night. Aisha told Wiz she had sex with her in the room all night.

"That bitch had sex with her?!" I screamed.

"Yeah. I feel like this is all my fault, Charlie." said Sam.

"Stop saying that! It is not your fault. As a matter of fact it's nobody's fault. Sam, I got something to tell you, too. The next day when Brenda were missing, Sarah came by to tell me something. She told me that while she was babysitting the kids, Morgan came over to our house looking for C.C. She threatened Sarah with a gun. Morgan had Aisha with her too. Sarah tells me that Morgan has been planning this since she been out of jail. She told me that Morgan and Aisha had been living with her. When she told me that I was so pissed. I asked her, How the hell you know Morgan and Aisha? She tells me she knew them from jail and her real name is Tracy. So I'm like, you, Morgan and Aisha are all in this together?" She says no. I'm like you lying to me and I said to her, whoever the hell you are, you are fired. That was the last time I saw her." I said.

"Tracy? As in Tracy Brown?! Dude she was all over the news!" said Sam.

"Really? You recognize her when she started working here?" I asked.

"No. She fooled me too." said Sam.

"Damn! I wanna fucking kill somebody." I said.

"I could use a drink." said Sam.

"Me too. Can you go get a few beers from the fridge for me, Sam?" I asked.

"Yeah. I can do that." said Sam.

Sam went to the kitchen and grabbed a few beers. She came back and we popped open a beer. I took a sip and said, "Thank God, I still got my best friend and my kids. We're all grateful and lucky to be alive." We all agreed and drank our beer. 

"I miss her so much, man!" I cried.

Sam held me until I stopped crying and I fell asleep for the first time in two weeks.
