Her Keeper

Chapter 95

--Julliet Morrison--

"So when are you going to tell Geovanni that the divorce papers you made him sign were not real?" My Dad questioned.

"When he learns to act right." I shrugged, making him chuckle.

"He's going to be so upset." He shook his head as he took a sip from his glass of red wine.

"He can't act any worst than he already is." I smirked. 

"He's going to kill himself at the rate he's going."

"He's been killing me for years, Dad. It's only fair."

"You're a cold woman, Julliet." He commented.

"I'm not cold, Daddy. I feel perfectly well. I miss him. I yearn for him, but I don't miss the pain he's caused me." I shrugged.

"What will you do if you found out he found someone else?" He questioned, making me laugh.

"I'd feel sorry for her. Even I know that he won't ever really love her."

"You sound sure of yourself." He smirked.

"Daddy, Geo is a mean, selfish bastard and we know that his love for me goes way back from when we were children. He will never love anyone else like he loves me. If it's one thing our roller coaster relationship taught me was to never sweat because of another woman. She won't last long." I stated confidently.

"What if you're wrong?" He questioned. "What if Geo runs into a nice lady who sees that he's hurting and turns it around?"

"Then, I'll use the we're still married card." I said seriously, making himaugh out loud.

"Just admit that you're just as unstable as your ex-husband." He put sarcasm on Geo's name.

"Is it bad that I miss him?" I asked.

"Of course not."

"Because I really do, Daddy. Everytime I masturbate, I think of him." I confided, causing him to make fake gagging noises. "I want to teach him a lesson, but it gets harder."

"It's been two weeks since he was admitted into he hospital and he still drinks and smokes his life away. Do you really think he's learnt anything?"  My Dad had a point. "All he sees is his pain right now. You have to wait until he's in a better space to decide if he's learnt anything at all." He advised.

I sighed and nodded in understanding.

"I guess you're right." My phone ringing, cut me and my father's conversation short.

"Hello?" I chorused into the phone.

"Jules?" It was Elliott.

"Hey El, what's up?"

"It's Geo, he's back in the hospital again." He announced.

"I'm on my way." I nodded, before hanging up and grabbing my purse. "Daddy, I have to cut our lunch day short. I'm sorry." I apologized as I stood up from our table and pecked him on his cheek before hurrying out of the restaurant.

Maybe this lesson I've been trying to teach Geo isn't working out well. Maybe I should just tell him the truth, so he's no longer a threat to himself. I can't allow him to keep hurting himself.

You can't allow him to.keep hurting you either! I heard my conscience scold. He's hurting. So what? He's hurt you over and over again. Shaking my thoughts, I decided to focus solely on arriving safely got he hospital.

•°•°•°•

Geo was in an accident. He was drunk driving and ran a red light, where a Bummer slammed into his Range on the driver's side.

He is currently suffering bruised ribs, a broken left leg and a sprained left arm.

"Why do you still care?" Oh, and he's also suffering the same sucky attitude from before.

"I don't know. You tell me why you seem to not care?" I countered.

"I'm fine." He gritted.

"Yeah?" I asked sarcastically. "And that's why we're here the second time in two weeks?"

"Go home and forget about me like you've been doing for months now." He snarled.

"I'm only here because I care about my children." I saw his jaw clench. I was getting under his skin. "They love and care for you and they'd be devastated if anything happened to you, so I'm just here on behalf of them."

"So you don't?" He asked.

"I don't what?" I spat coldly.

"Love and care for me?"

"I'm not sure anymore." I shrugged.

His jaws clenched and unclenched rapidly as his eyes watered.

"Cool." He mumbled as a tear fell from his left eye. He quickly reached up and wiped it away.

"Get yourself together, Geo." I advised. "Do it for our children." He nodded as he twisted his lips to the side.

"I miss you alot, Jules." He blurted.

"Ok." I shrugged.

"I know you probably hate me, but I'm sorry for letting you down."

"Ok."

"I know that what we have is gone and over with, but I'll always love you with everything in me."

"Ok Geo."

"If I could take it all back, I will. If I could disappear, I will. I have trouble accepting that we're done, so I drink. I don't mean to, it just happens. I know it's stupid and pitiful, but I don't mean to. I'm sorry."

Sighing, I got up. "Have a good night, Geovanni." Then, I left.

As soon as his door closed, I allowed a few tears to slip before I went home.

--Geovanni Parris--

She don't love me no more.

My heart shattered at the thought and the memory of her admitting it.

Julliet don't love me no more.

Before I could do anything about it, I began sobbing bitterly like my parents had died all over again.

People won't understand just how much Julliet means to me. Her soft, cherry balm coated lips saved me that night when I was seventeen. Life without my parents didn't seem so bad anymore. I wanted to live again. Now, she's gone too and my stupid ass caused it.

"Geovanni." My Uncle Jan greeted as he walked through the door to my room. "Wipe your eyes and your nose, boy. My wife left and got married to someone else before she decided that the grass isn't always greener and came back. Pull yourself together and get through it for you and your children." He said sternly. "Let her decide if she wants to come back later on and if she doesn't, then you'd have already accepted it in your heart."

I nodded in acknowledgement.

"One thing is for certain, Geovanni; she isn't going to come back to a self destructive, alcoholic, pothead and call him a wonderful husband." He laid the cold truth on the table before me like an opponents winning hand in a poker game against me, taking everything that I owned. "Pull yourself together." He said once more as he patted my shoulder and left.

I wiped at my tears and attempted to fall asleep.
