BY DEMARCO'S STANDARDS (Part 5)

Wall's Cave In

Shit just got real, very real. I didn't have time to deal with my parent's newest tamtrum right now. Snatching Ivy by the arm I half drug her to my old bedroom for a bit of privacy. Once shut in I whirled around staring daggers at her. "Why the fuck would you say that to her?" I bellowed.

Ivy crossed her arm's and smirked. "One of us had to have the ball's to do it and it was obvious you didn't. I just did you a huge favor Demarco."

"Oh no the fuck you didn't you crazy bitch.". I yelled. "You just made thing's ten time's worse. Now I've got to go deal with another crazy woman".

"So you wasn't going to tell her at all was you?" Ivy shrieked back. "You wasn't planing on letting her know about us or leaving her was you? You just wanted to keep the dear old wifey and just screw around with me, right?"

"Fuck no Ivanya". I yelled. "I was going to tell her and soon. Just not in such a fucked up way. I wanted to sit down with Sam and break it to her as gently as possible. Now you've went and doubled the trouble".

Ivy rolled her eye's. "Oh please Demarco, Sam's not a fucking child. She needs to toughen up and act like a grown woman that can handle her shit".

I tossed my head back a gave off a sarcastic laugh. "You see Ivy, you've sadly underestimated Sam. Sure Sam is all sweet, caring and can be too nice at time's but that's what's special about her. But make no mistake when she's been pushed far enough she will fight back and you just fucking shoved her."

"Special". Ivy snarled. "Seems like somebody is still hung up on their wife?"

"Of course I still love her Ivy". I snapped. "That girl has been through hell for me. She stood beside me when no one else would. She taught me so fucking much and gave up her normal, safe life for me. I can't just kill those feelings over night, but I do love you as well. What I feel for you is stronger. I can't explain how or why, I just do".

Ivy shook her head. "Your full of shit Demarco. You feel for no one but yourself. I tell you what, when you can man up and decide what you want I may still be here but until then stay the fuck away from me."

Ivy stormed out leaving my head spinning. I felt like I was falling into a dark abyss that had no bottom. Rolling my neck around to release some tension I struck out in search for Sam. I had no idea what I would say if I found her but I had to make sure she was okay. The first place I checked was our place. Besides I needed to grab some shoes and a shirt.

All was quiet when I entered so I assumed Sam wasn't home. Going to my bedroom I fished out a shirt from my closet and as I turned around I was met by a swinging knife. "The fuck".  I yelled fucking quick missing Sam's wild slash. "The fuck Samantha?"

The crazy woman didn't say a word. Instead she charged at me again with the knife. The blade knicked my arm causing a slight cut. Enough to draw blood but not life threatening. I knew I had to gain control of this situation before she really caused some damage. Gripping her wrist I bent it back hard until she whelped out in pain and dropped the knife. "Get a hold of yourself Samantha". I demanded and was answered with a right hook.

Even without the knife she continued to attack me. There was not much I could do without hurting her and I didn't want to do that but after several minutes of having her pound me in my head and face I had to do something. Bending down slightly I rammed my shoulder into her gut and brought her down. Landing on top of her I restrained her arm's as she gasped for breath. Clearly I had knocked the breath from her. "Please baby calm down. I'm not trying to hurt you. Please Sam, let's talk this out".

"I hate you Demarco. I wish you would have died." She paused to release a sob that tore at my heart. "If you would've just died I wouldn't be going through this".
