On My Own A Diggy Simmons Love Story Book 3

Chapter 52: Shannon Explains

Diggy P.O.V

Iris and I put on our shoes. I didn’t feel like taking my car so I drove one of Iris mom’s cars. As we drove out the neighborhood Iris faced me.

Iris: What was up with Elana?

Diggy: She’s just annoyed that’s all. Sometimes she says things that she doesn’t mean. Or sometimes she does mean it. I can never tell unless she tells me. I’m sorry she just got me all confused.

Iris: *smirks* but she loves you. No confusion there.

Diggy: True. I guess she is just upset that she found me in your house asleep in your bed and next to you instead of….I screwed up. She just didn’t give me a chance to explain. On top of that she’s turning insecure. I knew she showed some insecurity a few times back *flashes back*

Elana: Don’t sweetheart me.

Diggy: What happened?

Elana: If you cheating on me Diggy….

Diggy: What no I wouldn’t do that.

Elana: What about the girl?

Diggy: The girl? Oh don’t worry about her she’s no one special.

Elana: Okay…..BUT I’m still skeptical about this. I love you and oh by the way Tristen and I got into a fight.

*flash back ends*

Diggy: Hey Iris remember the time Tristen and Elana got into a fight?

Iris: Yeah *smiles* it was crazy.

Diggy: What did Tristen say to Elana?

Iris: Well earlier that day Elana was saying how she heard another girl in the back ground while on the phone with you. So when Elana and Tristen started arguing, Tristen mentioned it.  She told her that she was a brat and that was probably why you were cheating on her.

Diggy: *starts thinking*

Elana couldn’t be that insecure. She seems perfectly fine when I’m here in New Jersey. But when I’m far away she seems more insecure or I don’t answer or send texts. I also notice it’s with Iris too. She doesn’t trust me around Iris I think.  Then the fake pregnancy shook her really bad. Now she’s upset really no reason other than Iris and I in the bed together but I was at the other end. Something is not adding up right with her.

Elana P.O.V

Shannon wanted to go for a walk so I decided to with her. It was quiet and peaceful. She started to speak.

Shannon: Elana

Elana: Yeah

Shannon: I need to go to rehab.

Elana: Why?

Shannon: I’m an alcoholic and I’m ashamed of my self. I need to set a good example for Iris. She can’t see me like this no more. *starts to cry* It was all because of my new boyfriend. He caused this. I drink more and more. Now I’m down to 3 glasses of wine a day. I don’t want it anymore. I’m tired of hangovers and passing out in front of Iris. Please help me. I can’t be by myself. Justine is going to consider me a parent.

Elana: No she won’t. She’s not judge mental at all. I’ll help you no matter what you need I’ll try my best to get it for you or even help take care around the house.

Shannon: I want to go to rehab tonight

Elana: Tonight? But Iris---

Shannon: Keep her with you please. I know her and Diggy are acting crazy but please just accept her into your home. I know you’re insecure about them two but please…just…keep her.

Elana: Okay, just for you and the fact that she is my friend.

We walked back to the house to see Diggy and Iris already arriving. We went inside and Shannon started doing a serious a paper work. That’s when I started to realize the man was still in the bedroom. I went in shook him awake. He got up and gave him his clothes. With no questions he left the house in his car. He seemed scared of Diggy. I sat on the couch and Diggy came over to me. He sat next to me before speaking,

Diggy: I love you

Elana: Un-huh

I was zoned out on Diggy. What am I to do with Iris? Her mom is leaving and she doesn’t know it yet.

Diggy: What’s up with you?

Elana: What?

Diggy: You’re tripping today

Elana: Then tie my shoe

Diggy: *smirks* very funny moody one.

Elana: Hey promise me something.

Diggy: What?

Elana: If I was to leave you would never do something off limits or foul with anyone.

Diggy: I would never do that *kisses her forehead*

Diggy P.O.V
