Revenge and Redemption

CHAPTER 18

DARIOUS

It seemed liked forever since we'd all been together , I missed my family lowkey but it was all fucked up. My firstborn hated me my fuckin wife hated me, ahit Jace might hate my ass too but he would never say it. This street shit took a toll on all of us, everywhere we looked it was some drama or a death or a kidnapping going on. I just wanted it all to stop already so we could just exist, I lowkey felt like if we dropped out of this shit then everybody could take some space for themselves or something.

We all sat in the living room of Trice house once again trying to come up with something to get Bree back. Kari sat in the chair in the corner in his phone scrolling, Trice was sitting on the floor leaning on the coffee table, Flex and G sat next to me in the same couch, and Desyre sat across from me on the other couch. She couldn't even look me in my face most the time and I understood but I forgave her for her bs so I just wished she could forgive me! Jace wasn't even here and that nigga wasn't answering his phone either so we'd all just given up.

"Okay so we all know Kristian has a few places he resides we just would have to find it..maybe scan the areas a few times throughout the day? I'm sure yall would find something plu-"

"I think we should just shoot up all of the places and send a message to him whats the harm in that? Trice you a smart girl but send that nigga a message" G interrupted with that same smirk on his face. I looked over at Kari and he still hadn't lifted his head up one time to look at G or anybody else since we'd even started talking.

"G you go shoot some shit up and you'll be dead in the next few weeks, that ain't sending a message that's fucking around" I said back to him looking back at Trice. She rolled her eyes looking back down at her paper before reading some familiar addresses down.

"Like I was saying Bree should be in one of them at least... Maybe we could get Stacy to join in, he snuck in last time for her and did alright so he could do it again I'm sure...Kari what you think" we all loooked over there but he was so into whatever he was doing that he ain't even notice it.

"Kari" Dezyre snapped making him look up for a minute.

"Yea ma whatever yall plan is coo just let me know so I can get my sister back" He said looking back down. I saw Trice roll her eyes again before making a mark on her papers.

Something else had happened to him in the time he was gone..he was colder than me.

KARI POV

I didn't understand why they all had to be here in the first place. I think it should've been left up to me to get Bree. She was my lil sister and unfortunateky I hadn't been there to protect her, but that would all change.

After all this blows over I'm done with this shit. It's cost too much and I sure as hell didn't want my kids growing up how I did cause me and Trice both know how damaging that shit could get. I was finally gonna break the cycle and hopefully I could get my mama to follow through and finally leave this fuck ass city!

"Well I'll watch my grandbabies we all know my role in this situation" Ma said sitting back on the couch.

"Ight well somebody needs to protect the ladies and after I do so Imma just volunteer now to be Trice personal body guard" G said letting out a small laugh. Dude was always trying to get a reaction out of me, and everybody always expect me to blow up but I knew where Trice's loyalty lied and that was always with me.

"Can we focused please do you even know who my father is I don't need protection from shit but you" Trice snapped making everything go quiet.

DEZYRE POV

"Well imma get ready to go, I had a babysitter for Kein but I don't trust leaving him alone for too long especially right now" I said getting up and geabbing my purse. Everybody said their goodbyes except Darious who made up some excuse to leave as well just to follow me out. I sped up walking to my car before hearing uim call my name and jogging over to me.

"Can we talk I just wanna talk to you" He said stumbling over his words alittle bit. I looked away.

"You got 3 minutes make it quick" I snapped putting on my timer, it was hard looking at him so I looked at other things instead. I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with him, it was a struggle just being in the same room as him.

"De can you look at me shit I'm trying to make shit right I just want my wife back, we been through too much to be doing this to each other and acting like this shit can we let the past go already or what??"

"How you expect me to let the past go when that shit still fucking haunts me!? Its still affecting our lives and you really asking me to let it go! I've done some shit to you in the past out of spite based off of the actions you showed me and I still don't see how you forgive me because I damn sure can't forgive you. You wanna see proof just look at Kari and Trice relationship he doing the same shit you've done to me and that girl put up with everything cause she love him! We too toxic for each other and at this age I don't wanna die early from stressing over yo ass I've done it too much so just leave me the FUCK alone!" I could feel tears trailing down my face nonstop as I finally looked at him. He looked like a lost child and shit I was lost too but I knew that he wasn't the home I needed anymore.

"So you don't love me nomore? After everything you just gone let us go down the drain that ain't what them wedding vows say it says for better or for worse and you just gone fucking leave me during our worse what the fuck I'm willing to try almost everything to get you back by my side" He took my hand but I snatched away quickly, there was no way I would get caught up in his shit again and the fact that he'd brought up weddjng vows pissed me off.

"The vows didn't say be a fucking dumbass and stick with the person that abuses you physically, mentally, or emotionally Darious I'm smarter than you think now if you excuse me you way past your 3 minutes" I wiped my face throwing my bag on the seat next to me and getting. He stood there watching me as I backed out and drove away.

My hands were shaking and when I reached my place I lost it. He still had the ability to make me feel like everything was my fault, I knew I played a part but it felt like it was my fault that we weren't together and that I'd caused this since we'd first met back up after I'd first had Kari. I couldn't deal with it anymore.
