False Fairytales

Chaptire Douze

Josh POV
This was all my fault, I knew it was and no one could convince me different. I made her want to leave, I made her feel like she was responsible enough to get into my line of work by letting her into my world. Coming home telling her these stories about my "day at work", they never really put fear in her; it just made her want to be apart of this life more and more.

Now look, she's gone away from me again and this time I have no clue where she is. I just wanted to hold her and tell her I'm sorry for making her feel like I don't trust her. I love her, I need her.

Dee went to ride around and see if nigga's heard anything or even seen nigga's that looked suspect hanging around our blocks lately, told me to "Stay home... Sober up... Be here for Rami" I listened, but I'm laying here drowned in my thoughts and worse my fears.

It's still kind of early so it wasn't time for Rami to get up for school. I decide to shower and lay down, sobering up before it was time to get behind the wheel.
...

I was waken up by Rami's little hands prying my eyes open.

"Daddy. Where mommy?" He asked still in his lion king pajamas rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. I forced a smile on my face and picked him up bringing him into bed with me and holding him "Mommy needed to have some... 'mommy time' but she will be back as soon as possible. She wanted me to tell you she loved you and missed you very much.

"You talk to her!?" He yelled excitedly hopping up out of my grasp

"Yep" I lied

"W-well why didn't she want to talk to me?" He asked getting teary eyed once again.

"She wanted to talk to you bud, but I told her I didn't want to wake you"

"Daddyyyy! Why you do that?! I wanted to talk to mommy!" He began to whine

I grabbed him into another hug, letting out silent tears. If something happened to his mother I just don't know how he would handle it, shit I don't know how I would handle it myself.

My thoughts reminded me to check my phone for any news from Dee. When I looked at my phone I seen over 300 missed calls and texts. But only one of them stood out to me.

Dee: WE FOUND HER MAN!

Instantly I jumped up almost knocking Rami out of the bed.

"Daddy!" He whined

"Oh shit my bad man. Here, take this and go get ready for school" I said helping him off the bed and giving him his stuffed monkey that he carried everywhere with him. Once he made his exit I called Dee while rushing into my closet to get dressed.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

"FUCK C'MON NIGGA!" I yelled getting frustrated

Ring...

"Hello?" He answered sounding groggy like he was sleeping

"Nigga get up! You said you found her! Where is she?!" I stopped in my tracks waiting for answers.

"Meet me at the spot... half an hour" Was all he said before hanging up

"The fu-" I couldn't even get my full sentence out before hearing him hang up.
