Finding Her Happiness

CHAPTER NINETEEN

I

t was 2 in the afternoon and

I did squats in the living room as my phone played music on my speaker.
Chris sat on the couch looking off into space as he was in deep thought and I got down doing my mountain climbers.

"Chris what did your mom say?"I asked him.
He sighed annoyed.
"Nika I want you to go to Atlanta there's no point of you staying."He saud shaking his head and I stopped with my excersizes as I looked at him confused.

"Why?"
"Because as soon as we get back home im going to get arrested."He said and my eyes widened.
"For what?"
"For hitting Karruche,but she said some bullshit about how I pushed her down the stairs and everything and my mom wants me to come home but at the same time she doesn't want them to take me away."He told me.

I got up and hugged him.
"Chris you gonna be okay,im not goin anywhere and your not goin anywhere."
"Don't say that cus im a black man that hit a woman im defenitley going to jail,if I just weren't so stupid,and than I got a baby on the way,and I know damn well that baby is mine Nika this shit is so fuckin annoying I swear to God."He said as he rubbed his head.
"Im probably not even gonna graduate with you."He said as tears ran down my face as I hopped they would not take Chris away from me.
Because we go back home tomorrow.
"Chris I don't understand you only choked her what else are they charging you for?"

He took a deep sigh.
"I dont even want to fuckin talk about the next charge."He said.
"Chris you have to tell me."I said rubbing my hand through his curls.
"That Nia girl said I raped her at the party and impregnated her."He said as he rubbed his face.
"B-but that not faie shes probably lying cus she didn't want to upset her parents."
"Same shit I was thinking Nika but come tomorrow. I dont know what they gonna do to me and you know them cops is crooked."He said and I nodded my head.

"Its okay Chris you gonna make it."I told him.
"If I don't I really want you to go to Atlanta Nika I really do,if you don't want to do it for yourself than do it for your father and grandmother."He told me and I nodded my head as he wiped his eyes.

"Its just not fair Chris."I cried out as I hugged him.
"I know it ain."
I know yall wondering why im crying now.Because we have to face facts Chris is a black man in Chicago who has hit a woman and is being accused of pushing her down the stairs and being accused for raping a woman who is pregnant with his child.I have hope but I just don't know how God is going to turn this one around.

"Wipe yo face girl stop all dat cryin we gonna be okay,now c'mon get all prettied up and everything beat yo face,or whatever the hell yall females call it im gonna make your last day here wonderful."He said smiling as he wiped my face as he kissed my lips and I leaned back smirking at him and I went to go lean back in but I licked his nose and he stale faced me as I laughed.
"Really?"He said as he started laughing and he licked me back.
"Eww I think I licked your make up off."He said fake gagging.

"While you here gettin ready and shit im gonna be out gettin some shit arranged."He told me and I nodded as he got his wallet and his phone and he hugged me.
"Lo-see you later."I said clearing my throat as ge walked out.What the hell,I was about to say Love you what is wrong with me?I thought.

I sighed as I walked upstairs."Onika you need to get it together."I said to myself.

Three hours later the sun was setting slowly as I put my earings in looking at myself in the mirror.
