The Ties That Bind

Chapter 31

I just got the news from Damon that my mother was dead. I asked him to try and find my daughter for me. I heard also that Pete was in a coma basically brain dead. Shit was hitting the fan because now everybody was dropping like flies and I had to save myself. Before Chase identified me.
I had just arrived in Atlanta. And I wanted to scope shit out. I got a text from Lacy's phone saying she hasn't heard anything involving the adoption. I replied that I was sorry and I'll meet up with her tomorrow. She texted back ok..
I sat outside my house and stared. I seen all of my memories appear before me. When Tre and I first purchased this home, when we first brought Kasey home. Everything. We we're together for 6 years and it just went crashing down after I slept with his coworker. I couldn't blame him for wanting to leave but I didn't think he would do it suddenly. He waited until I graduated med school and left home and moved to the place he was at now. I was heart broken for the most part and played it off like it didn't bother me but the shit ate me up everyday. My home was broken into pieces and now my daughter just had me here. When Tre moved out I found out i was pregnant and miscarried it was a blighted ovum. It was devastating. So when I found out about Ava having his kids I was furious and I wanted to take from her what should have been mines. That's what I planned to do that night until that bitch shot me! I even decided to get Lacy's baby which is why I had my mom fake her HIV testing results. She really didn't have much to do with my equations, I just wanted her kid mainly because she had a connection to all of them. Which is why I opened up to her at brunch that day. She fell for the shit. She's most definitely weak minded.
I sat outside my house for a hour just thinking. I decided to go in. I needed rest after my long drive.
I stuck the key in the door and turned the lock. I walked in slowly, my house was terrorized completely. My couches we're tore up, broken glass everywhere and TVs we're broken. I stepped over all the glass. I went to Kasey's room and everything of hers was completely gone. Wiped out. I couldn't breathe. I stepped inside of my bedroom and on the wall in lipstick it read this is what happens when you fuck with me!
I gathered some of the clothes that we're in decent condition and got out of there as fast as I could. I decided to pay Tre a visit. He knew what the fuck was going so he'll be the first person I see.

I ran out the house and hopped in the car. I jumped on the expressway to his place because he knew what the fuck was going on. Who else would vandalize my place and wipe Kasey's room out. I sped my way there and in 15 minutes be would see me. I'll make sure this is a face he can remember.....

I finally arrived at Tremaine's place. I sat out in the car and loaded my gun and made sure shit was in place. I tucked the gun in my pants and headed up stairs. I had cut my hair off back in Louisiana so people hardly recognized me. I climbed the stairs and when I got to his door. I knocked. I knocked 5 times before he got to the damn door.
"Giselle.. " he said shocked. I kicked the door beside him and walked in. I searched around the house for any extra people.
"Why are you here? " he asked as if he didn't know.
"Why is my house vandalized and where is kasey her room was wiped clean tre and I know you know something. " I said yelling.
"Hold on don't come here talking shit!  I haven't been to your house since you pulled that suck me fuck me shit months back! When I last saw you,  you told me you we're leaving to Florida and gave me the divorce papers. You were supposed to have her remember!? " he yelled. Fuck I did lie and say I was moving to Florida. I actually sent her with my mother and now my mother is dead and I don't know where the fuck my baby is.
"Well I didn't, I sent her with my mom now I can't find her! " I said.
He was pissed and he punched a whole through his wall.. I jumped because it caught me off guard.
"Find my daughter bitch! " he said choking me. He threw me on the ground and wrestled with me choking me to the point,  I couldn't breathe. He kicked me in my stomach and stomped my leg. My gun and knife flew across the room and I couldn't get to it. I took his lamp and slammed it against his head.  I turned over grasping for air.  He was holding his head.  I ran over to my gun and shot him on the right side of his chest.
Did I kill him? I thought.
I stood there trying to catch my breath.  I figured since I shot him I needed to get the fuck out of his apartment. I turned for the door and Charlie and Drew came running out. That was it. My life flashed before my eyes. Charlie had shot me......
