January 21, 1996 (Sunday)
Halle Laying in the bedroom, I listen to the nasty thunderstorm that is growing awful by the minute outside. All I could think about was the argument I just had with my so-called husband, David. This argument started over this bitch that I know he's messing with, but he swears he isn't. Even though we argue a lot, this one intensified into something major and we even got physical with each other. Certain things were said and he ended up storming out; I hadn't heard from him since.

"Don't you fucking walk away from me nigga, I know you've been fucking her!" I screamed as I followed David throughout our bedroom. He's really testing me. I'm so close to beating his ass! I don't know why he just won't admit that he's been with that ugly ass hoe. The proof is literally right in front of my face!
David slowly chuckles angrily. "Halle, like I told your ass for the millionth time, I am notfucking her! What part of that do you not understand?"
"You really gonna stand there and lie to my motherfucking face like I'm stupid? You must really think I'm dumb! This bitch left a voicemail on our phone talking about how much she misses and wants you, and you expect me to believe y'all ain't fucking! You can go on somewhere with that bullshit!" I screamed in disbelief.
David takes a deep breath and runs his hands over his face. "Halle you sound so crazy right now. You know all these different females want we have, that's why they do this shit! I thought I told you not to worry about anyone else!"
I'm crazy, huh? I'm gonna show his ass crazy.
"Nigga please, you love to pull that line when you know you fucked up. This isn't the first time you fucked around on me, so I'm not naive! You've literally been coming home late this past month smelling like another bitch. Not to mention that I've found condom wrappers in your car, but I'm crazy right?"
"What the fuck are you bringing up old shit for? I told you that I was sorry, and I thought we moved past that! You know I told you that some of my boys bring women around when we kick it and those condoms belonged to my friend! You love bringing up the past Halle! That's our problem now! I'm pretty sure your shit isn't clean!" he screamed.
I couldn't believe it, he really wants to turn this around on me! "So you really wanna make ME the problem? So you're telling all of this is MY fault? So I'm the reason why you decide to stick your dick in every stank pussy thrown your way? You're so fucking pathetic!"
Our fight carried over from our bedroom to our kitchen. We fought hard before, but never like this. At this point, we were purposely trying to hurt each other. We were hitting low blow after low blow. We were trying make each other feel like shit.
"You know what your fucking problem is Halle Maria Berry? You're just jealous because you know without me, you wouldn't even have the money, the cars, the house and everything in between! I help made you into the person you are today! Shit, maybe that's only reason why you're with me."
"Are you fucking serious right now?" I scream with disbelief, "You really think that I would be nothing without you? How dare you think I'm only with you for money? I have my own fucking money, and I definitely didn't need your ugly ass to help make it! I made it on my own!"
He spat, "Oh please, you think you would be where are you are without me? Halle, I think you forgot where you were before you met me. You definitely weren't getting all of these major roles, interviews and magazine covers before we got married. If it weren't for me, you'll still be that broke, pitiful former beauty queen that had to sleep in those nasty ass homeless shelters. You'll probably still be fucking and sucking someone's dick for roles, IF you don't still do that!"
How dare he? How fucking dare he use my troubled past against me? How fucking dare he insist that I would EVERfuck my way to the top like I'm some dirty hoe? That really set me off! Picking up the vase sitting on the counter, I threw it at him. "FUCK YOU!" I spat.
He ducked, causing it to hit the wall and shatter everywhere. At this point, I saw nothing but red. I started throwing everything I could at him: pots, pans, silverware, and even knives. "I hate you David, I fucking hate you! You can go to Hell and take that nasty ass, disease ridden bitch with you for all I care!"
He grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. "Bitch, you need to calm the fuck down because you know I'm right! This is exactly why I'm sick of your ass, you're always escalating everything! It didn't even have to get to this, but your dumbass doesn't fucking listen. This is probably why you could never keep a man before me, because you're crazy as fuck! This is why I stay out all night with my friends because I don't want to come home and deal with your big ass mouth! You're always giving me bullshit, and I'm fucking sick of it! Sometimes, I wish I never married you!" he spat bitterly.
David put me down and stormed out into brewing thunderstorm outside, slamming the door. Some of the pictures hanging near the door fell, causing the frames to break. Tears continuously fell down my cheeks as I slid down on our kitchen floor. I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't fucking believe it. I never thought we would get to this point.
***
I loudly sobbed as I laid in our bed, I just couldn't believe he let those nasty things come out of his mouth. By now he would've came home and apologized, then we end up making love. Seeing how things went tonight, however, that's not gonna happen. He still hasn't came back or called, and even though I was mad as fuck, I still wanted to know if he was alright. The pain of tonight was so intense that I cried myself into a deep sleep.
