Deyjah

I paced back and forth at the hospital. I feel so bad, mainly because I was the one who was really watching Kamren. Jovante was paying no mind to him, I was the one enjoying his company and making sure he was okay. I feel so stupid for even leaving Kam with Jo Jo, I sat in a chair and started to pour down tears. I hope he's okay, I hope Bahja isn't mad at me, and most importantly I hope he isn't mad at me.

Omniscient Pov ( Flashback )

Deyjah, Kamren, and Jovante were all sitting on the bleachers. Of course, Jo Jo wasn't paying any attention to them. He was talking to his old friends from middle school.

"Kam I'm gonna go to the ladies room." Deyjah told him.

He looked at her. "Okay."

"Jo Jo I'll be right back watch Kam." Deyjah instructed.

He shrugged her off barely listening. "Yeah whatever."

She rolled her eyes, stood up and walked out the stadium. Kam looked around and saw a girl eating chips.

"Where did you get those from?" He asked.

She pointed out the stadium. "Soon as you walk out you have to make a right."

"Thanks." He tapped Jovante. "I'm gonna go get some chips."

Jo Jo handed him a twenty dollar bill. "Fetch me some nachos."

He took the twenty and walked out the stadium. He waited in line and about 5 minutes later he was at the beginning of the line.

"Aye lil nigga why the fuck you cutting?"

Kamren turned around and looked at the 3 guys that were in blue shirts. "Excuse me?" He asked.

"Did we fucking stutter young punk?" Another growled.

"Look at this nigga, he has on a red shirt. You a blood boy?" The other asked.

Kamren shook his head no. "I just got this shirt because it was True Religion."

"True Religion?! So you got money huh?"

"Next in line."

Kamren ignored the guys and walked to the counter. "I want a bag of Doritos and-"

"You hear us talking to you!" One of the guys pushed Kamren forcefully on the ground. "We hate being ignored."

"Aye man chill out!" Kamren jumped up. "I'm not bothering y'all!"

"Who do you think your talking to?" One of them said walking towards him.

Kamren dusted himself off. "Don't make me get my older cousin."

"Older cousin?" The guy punched Kamren forcefully in his face. "Fuck yo older cousin!"

Kamren flew on the ground once more, he felt flood streaming down the side of his face. He wiped it off quickly and held his jaw. "Leave me alone. You're gonna regret this."

"You think you got balls?" One of them asked. He stomped Kamren in his stomach. "You ain't shit, get him boys."

Next thing Kamren knew he was being punched, kicked, slapped, and more constantly. He heard Deyjah's voice in the background.

"Get off of him!" She cried. "I'm calling the police!"

"Run! Run!" One of the guys called out before leaving the game.

I walked in the house, Ariana and Jacob was sound asleep on the couch as Kate and Kai watched Bring It.

"Hey guys."

Kai jumped up. "Hey mom. Finally you're here."

"Go get a suitcase from the basement." I instructed.

She put her hand on her hip. "We only take those out during family vacations."

"That's what were gonna do." I lied. "Go get you one."

Kai went in the basement and Kate stood up. "Family vacation? It's almost midnight. You wanna drag them out the house this late?"

"I need a break from Chresanto." I said taking off my ring. "I'm taking the kids and were going to Atlanta for a while."

"Wow so the whole house gone be empty for how long?" Kate asked.

I shook my head. "Chresanto is gonna be here."

"He's gone."

I scoffed. "Where'd he go? He has nowhere to go!"

"He went on a business trip." She said. "Well that's what he told me and the kids."

I rolled my eyes. "Business trip? That's the best he could come up with?"

"He said he'll be gone for two weeks." She told me.

I started to mumble. "He could go on a business trip for two weeks but can't-"

Then that's when it dawned all on me, I started to have flashbacks of the other night.

I rolled my eyes. "Do you know how disappointed I am in you?" I asked.

"Baby I'm sorry! My intensions wasn't for this to happen."

"So about this warrant." I went on. "You have to turn yourself in?"

He didn't say anything, he just stared at me.

"Chresanto I'm talking to you."

He groaned loudly. "They're looking for me." He admitted. "They said if I turn myself in I'll only be in jail for two weeks. But if they have to look for me it'll be 90 days."

I scrunched my eyebrow, is he serious right now? He tried to hold me but I jerked back. I stood up and paced back and forth, he stood up to.

"Yn you have to understand that-"

"I don't have to understand shit!" I yelled. "Chresanto do you understand what you've done?! Everyone is gonna look at you differently, your like MiMi from Love & Hip Hop when she released her sex tape."

"I never have sex on camera with you!" He joked. He thought for moment. "Well I did but it isn't released."

I rolled my eyes. "This isn't a joking matter Chresanto you have to turn yourself in tomorrow morning!"

He scoffed. "Like hell I am! What are you gonna tell the kids? That I'm in jail for fighting?!"

"No I'm gonna tell then you're on a business trip."

"So your gonna lie to them?"

"Like there's a choice!" I said sounding irritated. "You made a mistake and you have a consequence."

I ran upstairs quickly and went into our bedroom. I looked inside and all of his things were gone. It looked so empty. I slowly walked toward the bed and saw a note with my name on it. I opened it and began reading.

Baby, I'm sorry. I took your advice, I decided to turn myself in. I was wrong and I was only thinking about myself which was crazy. Please don't leave. Don't leave me when I get out and don't leave now, stay at the house and when I come back and we can work this out. I LOVE you!

From,

Your Husband💍

I realized I was crying, as much as I wanted him to go to jail and get it over with I still didn't want him go leave me for two whole weeks. I sat on the bed and let the tears stream down my cheeks. He didn't even say goodbye....
