The Ties That Bind

Chapter 22

My baby Taylor was finally a month old before I decided to go handle what I started. I was planning to appear back in Atlanta today. I was still at my parents house and my mom refused to talk to me still. It's been months. I was fed up with her shit. Jody has been running the streets doing drugs. I prayed every night that he would remain safe. I don't want him to overdose or anything like that. As for my father, he's been neutral. Helping me here and there. But he can't help me when I've been the one helping their asses.
I had to find a new job, my old one let me go. The only thing I had right now was my savings and the money Damon was throwing me for Taylor.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Drew thinks I was pregnant by him. I led him to believe that, but it's actually his father's. I made sure Taylor was straight and made sure she was safe. Because truth be told I didn't know how this was about to turn out. Before I head to Atlanta. I had to make an important stop.
I headed downtown to my nearest library. I needed to locate my birth records. I needed to know who my mother was and if my father was actually Pete. The shit was sick and twisted, if this man had many affairs on his wife Karen and he had all these unknown children out here no one knew about.
I walked in the library and the librarian lady assisted me. She helped me search for exactly everything I needed. And I found just that. KAREN AND PETE we're actually my parents. So Ava and I actually had the same mother and father. How the fuck did that happen? How did they give me up? Why did they give me up? What in the entire fuck was going on? I went to school with Ava. She was my best friend, how the fuck did I not know this all this time? Did Ava know about me? Did Pete actually know who I was exactly when I came around? I had a lot of questions. I wanted answers.
So I decided to take a trip to Texas. I want to hear the truth from the horses mouth myself.
I asked for a copy of these records and I stuffed them in my bag and left. I booked my flight out for noon and I would be on my way to Texas. He was my first stop. I had to go with this plan because of Damon. But this was strictly personal to me. After all that has been done, after all the shit I found out. I was in savage mode and I was ready to blow.
*********
My flight was about to take off and soon I'll be where I need to be.
It wasn't that long of a flight before I landed. I grabbed my duffel bag and threw on my Chanel shades and went on my way. I caught a cab to their home. I'm pretty sure they'll be very surprised to see me, that's if they even knew who I was. But before I got there I made a pit stop at a store. I had a couple of things to pick up.
*****
After I made my stop. I hopped back in the cab and made my way there. I had on all black attire. I finally arrived 20 minutes later and I must say my nerves we're a wreck. I was nervous. What the hell was I really doing here? What was going to change? They didn't want me. I was grown now. Anyways, I walked up to the door and when I got up there it was cracked. I slightly peeked inside to see what was going on. I tipped toed inside and posted up on the wall. This didn't feel right to me and it gave me a very bad feeling.
I decided to peek around the corner a bit into the dinning room and no one was there. I crept a little bit further and that's when I heard it, I heard her voice. It was Giselle. I stayed behind the wall and peeked behind the huge bushes she had as plants in the house.
Perfect timing huh lace?
I thought to myself. It's always some shit and I'm always in the middle.
I continued to peek and Giselle stood there with her gun pointed at Pete.
Yelling and screaming
"So you knew all along all these years that you we're my father? " she asked
She had him tied against the chair with his wife facing the opposite way. She had them both tied up.
"I don't know who you are, nor do I know what you want. " he said. He tried to remain as calm as possible but you could tell he was shaken up. I started to feel bad. I hurt everything I get close to or touch. So for the most part I decided to stay hidden.
I kept listening and watching. She was here but the bitch couldn't get my baby like she promised? I mean even though I was able to keep her it's the damn principal.
"You know who I am and I know you know who she is. " she said and a small lady appeared. That was my damn OB doctor. How the fuck did she know her?
"Pat. " he said with his head down.
"Pat?! PATRICIA KING?! " Karen yelled she was furious.
"It isn't king anymore baby it's Williams babe, has been for years. "She said. Walking up to Pete kissing him on the cheek.
What kind of shit is this?
"What does she mean Pete? " Karen asked. Hell I wanted to know too. He fucked over a lot of women. I wouldn't be surprised at the kids he may have.
"What I mean is that you two aren't legally married, can't be because I'm still married to him. " she stated. By this time Giselle was pissed.
"No mom you didn't tell me that! " she turned towards her mom and lowered the gun on Pete.
"You didn't need to know shit! I let you know what I wanted you to know. You wanted to know who your motherfucking father is, there he is right there! " she said yelling. Giselle smacked her. I covered my mouth with my hand to keep from making any noises. I turned my phone on silent so that didn't fuck up anything. I needed to record this.
"BITCH! how dare you hit me heffa? " her mom was upset.
"You lied to me, why the fuck are we here then ma? " she asked her it became a feud between them two.
"Nevermind that, let's get back to business. Pete should I kill you or your wife? " Patricia yelled. Everybody was crooked. She was faking to be an OB doctor, turned out to be my other alleged sisters mother who faked my medical records like I had HIV.
"No don't kill her, you're mad at me I get that kill me! " he yelled.
"Pete! " Karen started crying.
Was I supposed to do something? If so who was I supposed to help? I'm irritated with these bitches. I couldn't decide quick enough.
I still stood behind the big ass bush and listened and watched.
I seen Karen reach under chair a bit and push something I couldn't tell what it was but I still didn't say anything.
Creek.
I heard another noise. I wasn't about to stay where I was and figure the shit out. Creek. I heard it again. This time I crept into the closet closest to the front door and hid in it. I kept it to where it wasn't notice able open but open enough I could see still. It was Chase. Chase crept in with his gun pointed. I thought his ass was in Florida.
I'm still trying to figure out if the button Karen pushed had something to do with him being here.
I just watched.
He finally got to where I stood earlier and pointed his gun. Giselle had walked off to answer a call from whoever had contacted her. And that's when it happened Patricia shot Pete. I couldn't see if he was dead or not from where I was. But I heard Karen scream. Then Chase let off fire and hit Patricia. I heard a loud thud and more screaming. Giselle walked back in to the kitchen and ran when she seen Chase. A big tall ass dude came running out firing shots and hit Chase with a bullet. Chase fired back killing him. Giselle got away. I heard tires screeching off and when I felt it was safe. I got the fuck out of there. I ran as far as I could and called an uber from my hiding spot. Soon as my ride appeared I was on the first flight to Atlanta, this would have to wait a while......
