Vitality • Suite 103 Sequel (COMPLETE)

39. Dark Red

Hey boo boos, love y'all so much and thanks for the constant love, it means so much to me, especially in this healing process I'm trying to go through. If you'd like to hear more about my journey, please join me by reading by new story Toxic, that's gonna be my main focus once I complete Vitality.

Listen to the song, by my baby Steve Lacy in the media, or on your own, when Chris's POV comes on. 🤪💕

Just remember y'all, everything happens for a reason, your path has been made by God herself, and even when times get dark she'll never lead us astray. God bless 💕 - Keiana

39.  Dark Red

Christopher Maurice Brown

I walked into the kitchen after returning home from Dr.Porter's, and Nia was in the kitchen eating at the island with her face in her MacBook.

"What's good?" The corner of my mouth jumped as I walked deeper into the room.

"Trying to apply for this lease, you?"

I shook my head. "Chilling. You found a place quickly."

She nodded. "Ebony's good at her job."

I wanted to laugh at the irony of the situation, but I didn't even bother. Ebony's original purpose was planning our wedding, but now she was finding apartments for Nia so we could separate.

It be your own ones forreal.

"Well good luck with that." I opened up the refrigerator door and pulled out an ice cold Gatorade before walking to my bedroom.

If I wanted to really get better, and back to the Chris I knew and loved, I couldn't focus on the drastic moves that Nia was trying to make anymore, it wouldn't do anything but trigger me and throw me off.

If she wanted to move out and run away with Dave, I'd let her. Shit, I needed more space for me and Royalty's stuff anyways.

There was no room for arguments, no room for begging, none of it. Just healing.

I walked into the room and noticed there was a lot more space than usual, I guess she had started moving out already.

"Um, I know you probably don't wanna hear this, but I'm sorry." Nia's voice sounded from behind me.

Before I had left Dr.Proctor, she had told me to protect my energy, especially now that I was in the first healing stages of getting my life back.

Now I see what she was talking about now though, cause why was she tryna say sorry now?

"Sorry for what Nia?"

"For springing this on you all of a sudden, I know it was unexpected to you, but we don't have to just leave each others lives because of it, you know?"

I shook my head. "No I don't know, and I don't need to be in your life just because you feel bad. You said you're doing this for you right? So do it, find what you're looking for, don't worry about keeping ties."

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

I don't know what she thought this was, if she was tryna change her mind, but I'd started to accept it, and when I wanted to deal with it, it was an issue and people wanted to remain friends.

Tuh, all my friends were dead.

"I think I'm gonna do it." I sat on my couch with Ebony, stuffing a sliced strawberry in my mouth.
