Wolfpack: A New Edition Cast Story

16.

Courtney POV

It's been a week and a half and I can't find my husband. I've looked everywhere for him, called him, texted, called his brother, called his momma and anyone else I could think of. Nobody's seen him and I'm worried out of my fucking mind. I would call the police but he left me a note, saying he was taking some time. The police wouldn't take me seriously with that.

I really didn't know the Keith comment had gotten to him so bad man, and I didn't even mean that stupid shit. I've been crying constantly and haven't talked to my friends because I'm scared to tell them he left. I won't even tell Nana and I've known her literally my whole fucking life.

I love Elijah so much and I may have destroyed my marriage for something so stupid.

I was sitting in my living room staring at the wall, just thinking when Sanaa bust in my house. "COURTNEY!!!" She screamed.

I rolled my eyes as she ran into the living room. "Bitch I've been calling you for like a week and you've been duck— What's wrong? What happened?" She asked worriedly. I hadn't even noticed I started crying again.

I wiped my face and looked at her. "Elijah left me."

Her eyes widened and she sat next to me, wrapping her arms around me. "Oh baby...go upstairs and take a shower. Imma clean up down here and call Imani. I'll order some food and we can talk about it." She said. I nodded, and walked upstairs.

Only when I got into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror did I notice how terrible I looked. I had dark circles under my eyes, and I looked dirty and washed-out. But realistically, I looked exactly how I felt. Like shit.

I turned on the shower and stripped down, giving the water some time to get hot. I stepped in and the instant the water hit me I started crying again. Elijah and I did everything together, which most of the time, included showers. All I could think about was him washing my hair for me, which always led to him feeling on my breasts, rubbing my butt, and fingering me. Just thinking about it made me cry harder.

I gotta find my baby.

Imani POV

"Bry stop!!" I squealed. "You know you like that" He said, continuing to kiss on my neck. I moaned a little and he laughed. "See? I knew you liked it ma." He said, grinning from ear to ear with his silly ass.

So, Bry and I went out last week and had a great time. He still annoying, just not as much as I thought before. "Don't nobody like you." I pouted.

"Love already? I mean it's a little early but I can rock with that baby." He smirked. I smacked him on the chest. "Shut yo ass up!" I laughed.

I held Bry at bay for a little while, but something definitely changed about him after he kissed me. At first, he was this annoying ass fly in my ear, always trying to hit on me. But ever since we kissed he's a grown ass zaddy who I be ready to throw my panties at. Like right now, he sitting up in my face in a white wife beater and black and red basketball shorts. Got his arms all out looking all delicious. He gon stop playing with me.

But I'd never tell him that tho.

"You claimed to come over here cuz you wanted to see me, but all you been doing is feeling me up since you got here." I said.

"You know what, you right. Where are my manners." With that, he threw me off his lap and grabbed the remote. "So what you wanna watch?" He asked, looking over at me.

I was sitting on the other end of the couch shook. This negro really tossed me up off him like I was yesterday's garbage or some shit.

Before I could start cussing him out, I heard my phone ringing in the other room. I glared at him once more before getting up to answer it. I ran past him but he smacked my ass anyway. Bastard.

I got in the other room and saw it was Courtney calling me. I quickly picked up because this bitch been dodging my calls all week.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't drop you forever?" I said.

"Well Elijah left her for one." Sanaa said.

"He WHAT?" I screamed.

"Yeah. She's really torn up about it Imani. I told her to go take a shower and I'd call you so you could come over and she could explain to us what happened." She explained.

"Iight I'm on my way." I said before hanging up. I ran into the living room and Bry looked at me. "What's wrong witchu?" He asked.

"Look you gotta go, my girl needs me." I said. He raised an eyebrow. "Everything iight with her? Do I need to go over there with you?" He asked.

It's cute that he cares so much. But I'm not gon tell him that.

"No, everything Iight. She's just upset and I need to talk to her." I explained.

"Okay." He said. He turned the tv off and gave me a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

He gives me butterflies man, I swear. I ran upstairs, cheesing the whole way. I threw on some clothes, grabbed my phone, keys, and purse and headed out.

I sped all the way to Courtney's and raced in. When I walked in, Sanaa was in the kitchen, putting some Chinese food onto plates, and Courtney was nowhere to be found.

"Where is my best friend?" I asked. "She's still in the shower. I told myself if she isn't down here in the next three minutes imma break the door down." She replied.

"I'm fine." Courtney sniffled, walking in the kitchen.

I hugged her as tight as I could, before holding her out at arms length. "You want me to cut his thing off?" I asked seriously.

This made her giggle, just like I wanted. I smiled and hugged her again. "What happened babygirl?" I asked. She sighed.

"Come get some food and talk to us." We all sat at the table and Courtney recounted the events that led up to Elijah leaving.

"He didn't even take any clothes!!" She cried. At this point, Sanaa and I had moved to both sides of her, hugging her. We were both mad as hell.

"I understand his feelings were hurt, but to walk out on your marriage as soon as y'all fight? That's low." I said. Sanaa looked distant, but nodded in agreement.

"He has every right to be mad, I embarrassed him in front of all our friends and made it look like he was just a second choice to me. I can't blame him for leaving me. I deserve it." She cried.

"You do not." Sans piped up. "When you really love someone, you don't give up at the first sign of a problem. You apologized over and over again  and he didn't accept it. You did everything you could do to let him know you didn't mean it. The rest is up to him." She explained.

"What she said." I said.

I hated seeing my friend like this. When I find Elijah it's gon be me and him, swear to god.
