I pulled up at John's place moments later and knocked. H eopened the door and gave a shocked expression. I pushed past him into the house and said,"Where's the rest of my things I came to get?" He stopped and looked sympathetically at me. "I didn't mean the things I've said to you," he said. I sighed and said,"You have a baby on the way John. Own it and give me a divorce." He looked shocked and said,"A what? Why? I know we have problems but babe.." "Babe?" I replied sharply. Babe? Are you kidding me right now? You have something I could never give with another woman and you want to call me babe? John where the fuck is my shit so I can leave? Silence. A knock sounded at the door and John walked over to open it. Evan. "So this is why you have been ignoring me lately?" he asked directed towards me. "Not now Evan, I said annoyed,"My husband and I are discussing a divorce." John shot back,"No we are not!" Evan threw his hands up in disbelief and said,"Make up your mind already! I've been here supporting you and fucking you to the max so yall needs to get it together!" John's mouth flew open. "You're fucking him?!" he yelled angrily. "Shut up John you've done worse," I said without a care in the world,"Now where's the rest of my things?" His nostrils falred and he continued,"I gave you everything!" Evan frowned and said,"Yeah pain and turmoil." He turned towards Evan and shouted,"I am speaking to my wife! Shut up or be shut up!" I sighed and said,"Okay there's no need for that" Evan squared up and a shot rang out out of nowhere. Evan tackled me onto the floor and we all looked around clueless as of where it came from. John stood up slowly and there in the doorway stood Tara with a twelve gage shotgun pointing it at him. My mouth flew open as we stayed on the floor. "I'm having this baby, she screamed at John. He put his hands up as if surrendering to her and tried to reason. She continued,"You thought I was just going to let that go? After you disrespected me like you do her?? Na. It doesn't work like that John." He stepped towards her and said,"Okay have the baby. I was just reasoning with you because I don't think we're fit for a baby when I'm married." She shot in the air and he flinched. "Really John? You never cared about her! You said I was better!" she screamed furiously. One thing I knew not to do was to piss off a pregnant woman so Evan and I stayed put on the floor crouching down. John shook his head and said,"I made a mistake and I am truly sorry. None of that should have happened Tara I'm sorry." That must've made her madder because she shot him in the shoulder. I covered my mouth to muffle my screams. John fell to the floor limply and she stood over him pointing the gun in his face. "Tara, please don't, I pleaded,"It's not worth it. He did us both wrong." She never took her eyes off of him as she said,"You never had a kid by him. I gave him everything he ever wanted." And with that she shot again! I covered my face breifly and Evan gasped next to me. When I uncovered my eyes, Tara had put the gun next to her side and John was trembling on the floor. She didn't shoot him. She held back her tears and said,"You are to never come near me or my child when he or she is born." And with that, she left the scene. We slowly got up and I called an ambulance for John. When they arrived, we explained he had an accident. He stopped me before I left and said,"If you really want a divorce, I'll email the papers." I nodded slowly and left out of the house. Evan waited for me outside and my phone rung. The doctor. Police swarmed the permisses and I answered the phone motioning for Evan to hold on. My mouth dropped and tears started to well up in my face as I listened to the news he gave me on the phone. I was positive for AIDS. I dropped the phone and Evan picked it up and put it to his ear to hear the doctor. He grew quiet and nodded and said a goodbye to him. He walked me to my car and said,"I'm here for you P. I know you've been through alot." My tears ran down my face as he softly continued,"I'm here no matter what happened." I nodded and shook my head. This couldn't be real. He sighed and kissed my forehead as I leaned back in the car. I dreaded the news and now I had it. Wish I could've taken it back. I would give anythung to take it back. I cried more on his shoulder and he held me close. "Im here love. For whatever you may need," he repeated over and over again. "Hard tines is what I'm here for. I couldn't thank him enough. I just needed closure at this point. Who knows what my life would consist of now. A therapist plus medicine.
