Up to You

Chapter Twenty-six

twenty six arielle

 I was sitting in the dressing room. Today I was talking with Kim Johansson, who has her talk show. Kim and I were good friends while she moved. I was dressed in black James Perse tank top, tribal chiffon cardigan, blue Acne denim skinny jeans, with black Toms. My hair was up in a bun. It’s been three month's since Chris and I have talked.

 ‘’Ms. Santiago you’re on.’’ The producer said. I grabbed the microphone, walking out of the room. I walked onto the set. I hugged Kim then sat down beside her.

 ‘’Hi, Arielle how are you?’’ Kim asked.

 ‘’I’m good.’’ I said, smiling.

 ‘’Well, tell us about you and your dance crew X.’’ She said.

 ‘’Well, we have seven wonderful members, including myself. We are starting a tour with the Far East Movement, next spring.’’ I said.

 ‘’Wonderful, now do you mind if we go into your personal life?’’ She asked, looking at me.

 ‘’Not at all.’’ I said.

 '‘So, is Chris your fiance or ex-fiance?’’ She asked.

 ‘’I guess you can say ex.’’ I said, looking down.

 ‘’Who came up with the whole break thing?’’ She asked.

 ‘’I did. I didn’t know who was going to marry. If he couldn’t tell me minor things, how can he want me to trust him.’’ I said.

 ‘’Could you just tell us how your feeling about him and his baby mama getting back together.’’ She said.

 ‘’Well, I specifically told him we were going on a break. I thought long and hard about this situation. All I asked of him was to be faithful and loyal. I guess he got back with her because she might have been the first to comfort him or something.’’ I said.

 ‘’How do you feel about her being pregnant and that could be his child?’’ She asked.

 ‘’I’ve always wanted to have children. You see I witnessed both of my parent die right in front of me.’’ I said, stopping to wiping my eyes. ‘’I’ve always wanted to have children because of that incident. I was placed into the foster care system when I was a little girl. I don’t want my children to go through what I went through. I want my children to know that I’m going to be there for them. If the baby’s is Chris I don’t have no problem with accepting that.’’ I said, wiping my tears.

 ‘’If you were to talk to Chris, what would you say?’’ She asked.

 ‘’I would get wish him well and give him back his ring. That ring and myself must mean nothing to him now. The first one to tell me about Chris and Karrueche was his best friend Tyga. I didn’t believe it till’ I seen it. I’ve let go. I’m doing me now. I have to admit that I was very in love with him but he has moved on and he’s starting a family.’’ I said.

‘‘’Well enough of that because you remember when we were little. When you would cry, I would cry. Yes audience, Arielle was my best friend until I moved away. This girl right here was a mean ass little girl but now I see she has grown out of it.’’ She said, nudging my shoulder.

 ‘’No, I still got my mean edge and my anger problem but I hardly ever snap like I use to.’’ I said, looking at her.

 ‘’Well, that’s all the time we have. I’ll see you next time, Los Angeles.’’ Kim said. I got up, hugging her. I walked backstage, waiting for Kim to walk back. She walked over to me. ‘’You wanna go to lunch tomorrow, my treat.’’ She said.

 ‘’Alright, I need your number.’’ I said. She grabbed my phone, putting in her number.

 ‘’Where are you going?’’ She asked.

 ‘’I’m going to the park, I’m going to think.’’ I said, walking away. I walked outside to my new 2014 candy red Lamborghini Gallardo spyder. I got in, putting the key into the ignition. I pulled off. I took my hair out of the bun. I let down the top. I still have the engagement ring but I don’t wear it. I pulled up to the park, taking the key out of the ignition. I got out, walking to the huge tree. I sat down, taking my phone out of my backpocket. I unlocked it and went to Instagram.

 ‘’Arielle?’’ Someone asked. I looked up to see Chris. I smiled and did a slight wave.

 ‘’Hi, Chris. I got something for you.’’ I said, taking the ring out of my jean pocket. I put it into his hands. ‘’I don’t need it anymore, you probably don’t even think of me.’’ I said.

 ‘’That’s not true.’’ He said.

 ‘’Whatever, you should be with Karrueche. You didn’t have the guts to tell me that you were with her. I said the word break, not break-up. The crazy thing is I still love you.’’ I said, going back to looking back at my phone.

 ‘’Arielle, you don’t understand.’’ He said.

 ‘’Tell me what the fuck I don’t understand. Tyga told me in person that you were her and you know the baby ain’t yours.’’ I said.

 ‘’Karrueche is staying at the house until the baby’s daddy comes and gets her.’’ He said. I don’t believe him. I got up, brushing off my jeans.

 ‘’Don’t think I’m that stupid because I’m not. I gave you my heart, Chris. I let you in, which I don’t do with most people.’’ I said.

 ‘’This is the truth, remember that day you left. Ty and I talk before you left. He gave me a real good talk.’’ He said.

 ‘’Chris, I don’t care anymore. I still love you and all but I can’t be heartbroken anymore.’’ I said, turning away. He pulled me close to him, kissing me passionately. I pulled away, pushing him away.

 ‘’Give me another chance, please.’’ He begged.

 ‘’Chris you’re a nice guy and all but you moved on.’’ I said.

 ‘’No, I haven’t.’’ He said. ‘’All I ask is that you give me another chance. I want you to be my Fiance. I want us back.’’ He said. I sighed, taking his hand into mine.

 ‘’Chris, I just don’t know.’’ I said, looking into his eyes. ‘’Give me sometime.’’ I said, walking off. I walked over to my Lamborghini. I got in, putting my hands on the steering wheel. What should I do?
