(Christie's pov)
What the hell was Justin doing? I thought his ex was gone. He even told me. I cried as I held Drew in my arms. Great, now where am I gonna go? I feel so worthless. Was I not good enough? Was I doing something wrong? I keep asking the same questions, but I still can't answer them. It's probably because I've gained so much weight. 90lbs is heavy enough for Justin to cheat on me. It's probably because of my ugliness.
"Hey, what's a pretty girl like you doing out on the streets in the middle of the night?"
A sinister voice asked from behind me. I turned around to see Justin in the shadows.
"I don't wanna hear a word from you, Justin"
I muttered irritably and turned around.
"Oh, I'm sorry, baby, but you're mistaken"
His voice was cold.
"What do you me-"
Right at that moment, I realized the person I was talking to wasn't Justin. He looked a lot like Justin, except the tattoos and piercings all over him.
"I'm no Justin, sweetheart. I go by Jason"
He stepped closer. The smell of drugs and alcohol came off of him.
"Y-you're Justi-in's b-brother"
I stuttered in fear.
"And you're Justin's bitch.."
Jason chuckled evilly.
"...Aw, and this must be Drew"
He managed to take Drew from my hold.
"What are y-"
"Shh, babe.."
He had me frozen in fear.
"...Twist, you know her, right?"
Jason spoke menacingly.
"Yep, and I'm sure she knows me"
A voice lurked behind me. I turned around to see Za's brother. My heart sped up.
"Give me my baby ba-mm"
Twist covered my mouth and kept me close to him. I started to scream and tug.
"Shh, you don't wanna wake the baby"
Jason smirked as he held Drew. I bit Twist's hand and screamed.
"Help! Someone! Hel-mm"
Twist's hand smacked against my mouth again.
"You're very stubborn, aren't you?"
Jason has an amused yet evil grin. I began to cry for Drew back.
"Hey! Fucking leave her alone!"
Just then, Justin bursted in the middle.
"Justin, how nice to see you again"
Jason grinned evilly.
"You better not lay a hand on anyone"
Justin spoke angrily.
"Oh, does this count?..."
Jason pulled out a gun and aimed it at Drew. I screamed and panicked, crying desperately. Twist held me tighter.
"...Or your bitch?"
The gun was now aimed at me.
"Don't do it....What do you want?"
Justin sounded defeated.
"hmm, for now, gimme $500,000"
Jason kept the gun at me.
"Here"
Justin tossed 5 stacks of money at Jason. Jason gave Twist a nod, and I was set free. I looked at Drew desperately. Jason chuckled then tossed the baby at me. Luckily, I caught Drew and held him close. My heart almost stopped when he tossed Drew.
"I won't be wanting money next time, Justin"
Jason lit a blunt.
"And there will be a next time"
He chuckled and disappeared into the darkness with Twist. I sobbed as I held Drew in my arms.
"Christie"
Justin hugged me.
"Why?"
I changed the subject to earlier.
"She came onto me, Christie. You gotta believe me. Why would I do that? After all we've been through. Christie, I would never cheat on you"
Justin pressed our foreheads together.
"Ok...I believe you"
I sniffled. But did I really believe it? I know I'm doubting our love, but that really hurt me. The way Justin looked at her when she first knocked on our door really discouraged me.
"Let's get away from here"
Justin quickly led me back to the apartment. I didn't say anything else. I gave Drew a bath, put Drew to sleep, got ready for bed, and hid myself in the covers. A few minutes later, I felt someone lay beside me and pull me in.
"Are you ok?"
Justin whispered.
"I'm fine"
That was a big lie.
"I thought I was gonna lose you. He could've done something worse"
Justin held me close. So this is what he worried about? His brother? Shouldn't he be worried about how hurt I am about what I saw earlier?
"I'm tired"
Tears built up in my eyes. He's not worried about me. He's worried about his brother. That hurts. I close my eyes and went to sleep.
