Its been a hour since I picked up Chris from the airport and brought her back to my place. Even though she had her makeup on I could tell that she was exhausted.

We've been laying in bed watching Tv and she's wrapped around me as if she thinks I'm gonna leave her while she's sleep.

I hear my phone ring and I reach over and answer it. "What?"

"Don't what me when I been running your shit for you nigga."

I laugh. "Aye my bad killa. Wassup?"

"Just checking to see if I had to handle that problem or not."

"I'm not sure yet." I look down at Chris. "She sleep right now. I'll let you know. Hell might do it for fun."

"Bet that." The phone hangs up and I see Chris looking at me.

"Hey ma." I reach to brush the hair from her face and she flinches away from me. "Relax."

"I'm sorry." She looks away from me. What the fuck did this nigga do to her.

"You hungry?"

"No just tired."

"Come on." I get up and stick my hand out for her to get up.

She grabs it and I pick her up and carry her to the restroom and turn on the shower. "You want me to stay in here or go?"

She doesn't respond immediately and I see her staring at the toilet crying. The fuck? If I didn't feel like something was wrong I'd think she's crazy. "You ok?"

She looks up at me and starts to take off her clothes. I go and sit on the toilet trying not to stare at her. I'm still with Chelsea and even though we're in a rough patch I wanna respect her and our relationship.

Christina gets in the shower and I can no longer see clearly with all of the steam feeling the room. Damn I need to tell Chelsea before she pops up over here.

"The first time he hit me. He said he would never do it again."

I'm immediately snapped out of my thoughts of Chelsea. I don't say anything because I know she'll stop talking.

"The first time he beat me....." I hear her voice start to shake.

"First. Time." I say through clenched teeth.

"Was because I was talking to you." She breaks down crying and I get in the shower and hold her. As the water runs down her face I see bruises began to form.

"Chris." I rub my fingers over them. You can tell some are fresh because she flinches with the contact.

"I should've gotten help sooner. I know."

I get out the shower to let her finish washing herself. I can't look at them any longer. "Does your brother know?"

"No. Zay doesn't let me talk to him or anyone for that matter."

"Ight ma." It's taking everything in me to stay calm. "Ima go get outta these wet clothes."

"Okay." Her voice still shaking a little.

I start to walk out but stick my head back in the door. "You staying with me for a while. That nigga knows where you live and I'm not finna do that to you."

"He's calling again." She says as we pull into her brother driveway.

"Don't answer it." This nigga been blowing up her phone all night. I had her turn her location off and that's when he lost his shit. His bitch ass started threatening her and threatening to come down here.
