ALEXANDRITE POV
Because I was in so much pain my mother allowed me to go home early. Since I had time I decided to go check the Ophthalmologist.
....
"It seems your black eye has resulted in a subconjunctival hemorrhage," Mr. Sawn says as he shows me a scan of my eye. There was a little red spot on the white of my eye."A what now?" I ask.
"A subconjunctival hemorrhage is a bright red patch appearing in the white of the eye beneath the clear lining of the eye (conjunctiva). So it's basically that red dot you're seeing," he defines.
"Am I gonna go blind? Do I need surgery? Is there a cure?" I question out of fear.
"You're overreacting. There is a cure- time. Just let it heal over time. It should be gone in about two weeks. I will prescribe you some painkillers for the pain but other than that, you'll be fine. If pain continues after a week please do contact me," he speaks as he scribbles on a piece of paper before stamping it with his stamp.
"So that's it? I'm good to go?"
"Yup!"
"Thank you, doctor!"
"Just doing my job!"
.....
It was only 3:30 and after taking two painkillers I felt great. I had to go home and prepare for Arnold but I also had to pick up the kids at Micheal.I drove to his house and rang the bell. The door quickly opened and revealed Xaylynn.
Shit! No no no!
"Niece!"
"Xay what are you doing here?"
"With this whole cancer thing going on I thought I should talk to someone and the closest person to cancer I know is Micheal. So we've been here with the kids the whole day," Xay says.
His face was covered in paint and glitter.
"Who is it?" I hear Micheal from the living room.
I walked in and Micheal was on the floor with the children. They were decorating with glitter, glue, paint and some other things.
Micheal looked like a rainbow unicorn covered in glitter and multiple colors.
"How come I didn't see you this morning when I picked the children up?" Micheal asks.
"I overslept," I lie.
"Mommy look what Uncle Xay and dad made!" Egypt says as she shows me a huge painting of them all.
Micheal and Xay looked like an average gay couple.
"Mommy, you said it was bad manners to wear sunglasses inside," Aziel says.
Why did I have to be such a good mom?
"Yes baby but mommy's wearing it for a special reason. Pack up kids, we're leaving."
"Awwwwww! Already? But we're having so much fun. Can we stay? Pleeeaaaasssseeeeeee??" Aziel says.
"I was gonna ask for them to stay either way," Micheal says.
"Well sure. Goodbye," I say as I quickly turn around and bump into a wall. My shades fell off and Xay saw my eye.
"Damn Alex! Where did you get that black eye?" Xaylynn says.
"What black eye?" Micheal asks as he walks up to me. He cups my face in his hand and made me look him in the eyes.
"Alex, I know that black eye. Who hit you? It better not be that punk ass nigga Arnold!"
I diverted my look from him and he understood. I couldn't lie to Micheal.
He and Xay looked at one another for about 2 seconds before Xay says, "You driving, or should I grab my keys?"
"I'll drive!" Micheal confirms as they both rush out of the house.
I tried to stop them but they wouldn't budge. I had to stop them before they got to Arnold. Arnold's at work but they don't know that so they'll go to the house.
"Kids get in the car!" I order.
We got in the car and sped off to Clinic. Once there I rushed into his office but only the intern girl was there. I didn't even remember her name.
"Where's Arnold?" I ask her.
"Sir left about 3 hours ago. He usually leaves this time every Thursday," she says. Arnold leaves work early every Thursday? But he comes home at 10 every night.
"This is serious, do you have any idea where he may have gone?"
"Yeah, he said he was going home to do something romantic for you guys."
Home? Shit!
I stormed out the clinic and sped off to home. By the time I reach home, there were 4 cars in the yard.
Where the hell did four cars come from???
I got out the car and rushed into the house. There they were, my dad, Micheal, Xay, and Zaniel beating the shit out of Arnold all at once.
How did they get here?
"GUYS STOP!!" I shout.
They were gonna kill him.
"AAAAHHHHHH!! MOMMY THERE'S A STRANGER IN THE HOUSE!!!" I hear Egypt cry.
I immediately ran to them and saw a woman in just her underwear escaping out the house.
Oh hell no!
I wanted to mop the floor with her but I allowed her to escape. It's Arnold who I'm going wipe the floor with. Egypt ran upstairs to the fight and I followed.
"Mommy, why are they all beating up daddy?" Egypt asks with tears in her eyes.
I manage to get in the middle of the fight and shield Arnold. That was the only way I could have gotten them to stop.
Arnold's whole face was bruised and he was bleeding from his mouth and nose. His body was also bruised and he was close unconsciousness.
"Dad, you and Zaniel said you'll stay out of it," I cuss.
"And we were. You left your purse so we carried it here and saw Arnold doing the deeds with some other woman," Zaniel says because the children were there.
Egypt didn't like what was happening and was crying in Aziel's arms.
"Doesn't matter. I could have handled the matter myself. Now look what you've done," I reply as I point to Egypt.
All their attention immediately diverted to her and they stooped down to comfort her.
"Thanks," I hear Arnold utter.
"You don't deserve my help. You were sleeping with another woman in our bed Arnold and you gave me God damn black eye. You deserve to die a miserable death!" I say as I walk away from him. The entire bedroom was trashed.
I helped Arnold up and let him stand on his own. The kids had left the room with the men. I grabbed my gun, reset it, and shot him in the toe.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!!! Fuck!!!" he groans.
"What the hell happened?" Micheal says as he pants from running up the stairs.
"She fucking shot me!"
"You should have aimed higher, like between his legs would be nice," Micheal says.
"That'll teach you a lesson not to fuck with me. Next time I'll shoot your dick off and that's on my life! Sexting and sleeping with other women like I don't exist. You better call an ambulance before that wound bleeds out or gets infected. That'll show you not to fuck with me!"
