Building Trust &' Faith (Book 2) (Urban)

Chapter 17

Sammie

Damn man, I never in a million years would've thought that I would be at such a low point in my life.

Yeah I'll admit that this is all my fault, everything. This whole situation such as Adri and I not being together, to me having to take a break from my career. Like I fucked up big time.

I tried calling Adri a couple of times but she's not responding to my calls at all.

"Hey there Sammie, how're you holding up?" My therapy nurse asked. "Still in some pain but I'm making it" I replied while struggling to raise my leg up.

She came over next to me "Okay, I'm gonna try to raise your leg up while counting to ten, if it hurts let me know on a scale 1 to 10.

I nodded in agreement.

As she started raising my leg up, I felt some pressure but it wasn't bad until she got to number 6.

At that point I was grunting. "It's a 8!" I said out in pain as she slowly let my leg down.

She wrote something down on her clipboard while asking me questions. "How you took your medicine today?" She questioned while paying close attention.

"I took one pill, but I need something else. I don't like the way they make me feel". I replied.

She wrote something else down, "And what did the doctor prescribe to you?". "Vicodin" I simply responded.

Adrianna

I walked in the house and it was after 10 at night. I sat my purse down on the couch while making my way upstairs taking off my shoes.

I stepped foot in the room, and the sound of Sammie's voice made me jump.

"Where have you been?" He asked calmly. "Sammie do not start with me" I said holding my hand out.

He sighed.

"Why do you constantly treat me like this?" He questioned while raising up a little.

When he said that, I felt stings in my eyes. My heart felt like it dropped to the floor as I tried to swallow a hard lump that was forming in my throat.

I took a deep breath trying to hold back tears "Like what?" I asked trying not to look at him.

It was somewhat possible that I already knew the answer.

"You walk around here treating me like I'm some stranger off of the street. Like I disgust you, like I'm not here trying to fight the way I look, the way my career is going, like we've never been together."

He paused.

"Tell me what did I do to get treated like this?" He questioned as a tear slipped down his eye.

Sammie never cries, so for him to cry, this has to be something that's really bothering him.

I can admit that I've been treating him wrong, I guess it's because I'm not use of spending my time around someone all day and all they're  doing is laying in the bed. Or me taking care of him when I'm so used of him taking care of me.

Selfish, I know .

"Sammie, listen" I said as I went up to him and wiped the tear that had fallen. "I know that I haven't been there for you like I should have, I- I just don't know how to deal with something like this, everything just happened so soon. You cheating on me, to you getting in a car crash, to you not going back to singing. Everything is just a mess right now."

Some tears dropped from my face "I would love to go back to how things was, it's just gonna have to take some time".

I kissed him on the cheek. "I love you girl, don't ever think that that ever changed, cause no matter what, just know that I will always love you.

Vonte'

Modeling gig, after modeling gig, ya boy is living the life. My career is really kicking off, thanks to having connects and networking with others.

I buttoned up my suit as my sister helped me put on my tie. Isn't that ashame, I'm a grown man and still don't know how to tie my own tie.

"Vontae' you need to hurry up, I'm not trying to be late for church" my little sister said rushing me.

To say that my sister is younger than me, I love how she has so much wisdom as a young lady. Not only is she smart, beautiful, and educated. But she also loves hearing the word of the lord.

Any man would be proud to have her.

I felt a hard push on my shoulder. "The least you can do is try to stay awake while the preacher is preaching" she said while taking a deep breath aggravated.

I chuckled as I sat up while leaning forward starting to be intrigued by what the Bishop was preaching.

"You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you. You will give me endless pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11." The preacher read his scripture and continued on with his sermon. "Gawd is good, because when man say one thing about you failing at life, heyyy. God says another ! Somebody give me an amen in this house. " Everybody started saying their amens. 

This sermon meant a lot to me, because I could've chosen the wrong path so many times in my life. But God had something else in store for me even though I haven't been giving him the praise for it lately.

Ever since I let him in my life, I've been nothing but happy, and nothing but the blessings have come my way.

Y'all probably tired of me updating every blue moon lbs. But I'm really gonna try to stay committed to my writing this time. I would just REALLY LOVE if y'all would leave feedback and y'all thoughts on what I write, it really means a lot when y'all comment.

Because when y'all don't comment, I feel as though I'm not pleasing y'all through my writing or y'all not really enjoying it , that's why I've been slacking lately.

But any who, comment/vote !
