Remedy

Chapter Sixteen

Ivy Reynolds

Right now I was sitting next to Jasmine in the rehab office.

"What the fuck did you do now Jasmine" I growled, letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Ivy I'm sorry I didn't mean to do it. It just happened" she said barely making eye contact.

"I bust my ass for you. After all the shit you did to me, after all the things I forgave you on, you can't even respect me enough to get through a fucking program"

The room was filled with an akward silenced that lasted until the lady came in the room.

"Hi Mrs. Tiller" she said doing a wide forced smile.

"It's Ms.Reynolds" I corrected her thinking to myself how she knew about Bryson.

"Okay. I called you down here to inform you that your mother has broken our terms and policies that we use to run this facility"

"What did she do" I shot her a death glare.

"We caught her sneaking cocaine and heroin in her pockets, we did a drug test and she came back positive, she and another member have been vandalizing the property. She threatens the aids and other patients here. Because of this behavior we have to kick her out of this facility. And unfortunately we aren't allowed to give refunds"

I nodded my head overcome with emotions.

"She has to be off of this facility by 12 oclock tonight. I'm truly sorry for this inconvience"

I feigned a smile, "It's fine. Let's go Jasmine"

"Now look Ivy, I know you're mad at me for not complying to the rules, but I actually made an effort. That counts doesn't it."

"No. How the fuck does that count Jasmine. I wasted 5,000 dollars out of my money to help you. The least you could do was try. You didn't try anything. You only thought about yourself" I yelled at her. I was beyond angry and beyond frustrated.

"Can you take me to your dad's place" she whispered.

"Who. I don't have a dad" I spat keeping the tears back.

"Damarcus's house. I miss him and he promised he wouldn't hurt me anymore. I love him Ivy. He loves me just like Bryson loves yo-"

"Don't you dare even finish that sentence. Bryson has never put his hand on me, Bryson has never spat in my face, and Bryson has never raped me. Unlike that bitch ass boy you call your man. If your two wanna be dumb crackheads together then so be it.

"You just drop me off in front of the house" she said as I pulled up to the house.

I unlocked the door and Jasmine. I can't help a person that doesn't want help. I sighed and drove back to Bryson's.

Bryson Tiller POV

I was up in the morning watching Netflix on the TV while Ivy was asleep next to me.

I wanted to bug to her, so I gently shook her.

"I'm trynna sleep babe" she said pulling the covers up.

"Ivy Ivy Ivy" I whispered repeatedly in her ear.

"What Bryson" she whined rolling over to sit up now fully awake.

"Nothing" I chuckled kissing her.

"I hate you Brys" she said jokingly.

All of a sudden, Ivy's phone started going off.

I heard a bunch of mumbling and Ivy said that she would be right there. She hung up the phone looking frustrated.

"What's wrong"

"Nothing" she forced a smile and got up.

I figured that she would tell me when it was the right time because I don't like pushing her to tell me things.

I had a couple of days off then I was going to fly to New York to meet with RCA.

I was watching Ivy put on her clothes.

She put on a black cropped thrasher shirt, some black shorts, and she put in her dangly belly ring piercing.

She began walking to the door.

"Wait Ivy" I said getting up. I walked over to her and wrapped her in a hug.

"I'm just gonna be gone for an hour at the most Bryson" she smiled pulling out of the hug.

I bent down to her level so I could reach her ear. "Is there something wrong Rose"

I only called her by her middle name when I was really serious about something. She knew not to lie when I called her Rose.

I pulled back to see her expression. She bit her lip like she was thinking.

"Nothings wrong Djaun" she responded, avoiding eye contact.

"That's a lie. I can tell something's wrong but you don't have to tell me now"
