A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 32

           King

After I took the blood test the nurse told me it takes a couple days for the results to come back. My head was gone... All this shit could have been avoided if I just told Tiera from the jump. I could have avoided her getting hurt but I didn't, I kept it a secret and now I had to face my problems. After sitting there in the waiting room for about 15 minutes thinking I decided to get up and find Tiera. I walked down the hall and there she was standing by the nursery crying. I hurt my baby and now I have to fix this. I walked up to her and Glanced at the baby girl that had Lexis name tag by her.

"Hey" I said starting off the conversation.
Tiera glanced at me "Hey" she said back in a low voice.
"She's beautiful" Tiera stated Looking at the baby. I nodded my head and looked down.
"Is there a chance she's yours"? She asked, getting to the point.

I took a deep breath and nodded my head "I just took the test... Results come back in a few days" I said.
She nodded her head and tears fell from her eyes "I wish I would've knew something was going on with you and my best friend but I was so blinded and now my heart hurts with the fact that the man I was ready to marry wasn't careful enough and got my friend pregnant" she said sobbing hard.
I swallowed hard as I stared at her painful eyes"Baby I never cheated on you".
She put her hand up "Save it King... It's over" she said in a low voice.

I raised my eyebrows "What"? I asked in a low but calm voice for her to repeat herself.
"I can't be with you King... Far as our son I want you in his life but far as me and you we are done" she said.
She was about to walk away but I pulled her back "Come on Tiera don't do this to me... I love you yo..  don't do this" I begged.
She shook her head "I can't be with you King... You lied to me I asked you several times why was y'all acting this and that way to each other and you couldn't even tell me" she said raising her voice alittle.

"Tiera baby please let me explain" I pleaded.
"There's nothing to explain... I can't be with you King... You hurt me and so did she when ya both could have told me instead y'all hid it and kept me in the dark" she said with tears pouring down her cheeks.
I hated seeing her hurt I was supposed to be there for her... Her protector... The man that made her smile but right now I couldn't be that now. When she use to look at me all I saw was love now when she looked at me all I seen was hate.

She removed her ring off her finger and put it in my hand. "Tiera don't do that... Put it back on" I said.
"Because you wasn't honest with me you didn't just lose a good woman you lost a wife" was the last thing she said before walking away.
I wanted so bad to chase behind her but what was that gonna do... Nothing. Before she walked away from me she made it clear that we were done.I found a chair to sit in and sat down covering my face with my elbows on my knees. I was hurt and frustrated... I just lost my fiance to a woman that I never meant to get pregnant.

Last night I had Tiera in my arms and just like that she was gone out my life with my son in her stomach.

    .....................................

      Tiera

For the past few days I had been MIA. Nobody had talked to me in days I had 90 missed calls and 150 texts most from King, dope and Ashley. But I couldn't talk, half of the time I could barely move unless I had a doctor's appointment I didn't leave the hotel room I was staying in. All I wanted to do was drown out the pain and cry myself a river which I was doing. I had finally fall sleep when it rudely got interrupted by some opening the hotel curtains.
I jumped up ready to fight then I realized it was only Ashley.

"Who's with you?? Did you lock that door"? I asked sitting halfway up with sleepy eyes.
Ashley Chuckled "Yes girl".
I sighed softly "How did you find me"?
"Well after riding around for hours Looking for you I finally spotted ya car and then I harressed the staff to give me a key. I told them you were my sister, you were pregnant and everyone was worried about you" Ashley said sitting down at the bottom of the bed.

I fell back on the bed letting my head hit the pillow "Now I gotta change hotels".
"Or you can go home" Ashley suggested.
I shot my head up and twisted my face up at her "Ashley are you serious? I can't go back to that man".
"Why not"? She asked frowning up her face.
"Because he lied to me... He fucked my best friend behind my back and got her pregnant" I said with hurt and pain in my voice. Ashley tilted her head to the side "No he didn't".

"Yes he did and I'm not surprised your defending him he was ya friend before you were mines".
"Tiera have you at Least thought about it like this... You never heard him out".
"There's nothing to hear" I said in a smart tone. "What if it was dope"?
"I would hear him out first" Ashley admitted. "Well that's you not me" I said smartly.
"Tiera... I was there when Lexis was around and even tho it's not my place to say I'ma tell you because If I don't you not gonna go talk to him so someone has to tell you" Ashley said.

I lower my eyes "Tell me what"?
"King never cheated on you... He was dealing with Lexis before you but it was never a relationship type thing but when he met you he fall for you he stopped messing with her to be with you... Then one day she pops up claiming pregnant but king never fucked her unprotected" Ashley admitted.

I lowered my eyes "What are you talking about? How is that even possible"?
Ashley stood up and came and sat next to me "I don't know but all I know is it's more to the story than you think".
I started sobbing hard putting my face in my hands "What am I gonna do without him... I love him so much".
"Go home and talk to him" she said as she rapped her arms around my shoulder.

Here I was crying again for the fifth time today, but now on her shoulder instead of being alone. I needed somebody though because it was no way I could go back to King. I had so much hate in my heart for him and Lexis... I couldn't forgive them.
