We Meet Again(Stephen Curry)

Chapter 12

As we pulled up to the driveway, I turned off the engine & just sat in a trance before I started repeatedly hitting the steering wheel screaming.

"Damn it... Damn it!"

Alyssa looked a little uncomfortable, she held her head down twiddling with her fingers.

"How could she just keep something so big like that from me Lyssa?!"

"Baby maybe she was scared & didn't know what to say or do"

"But I stuck out everything for her. I trusted her with my heart & she just walked away from me...she just left"

I could tell Lyssa felt bad

"Lyssa..we tried 3 times for a baby & every time it failed. She had 3 miscarriages & when she needed me I was there for her babe..I was there"

"Oh my goodness Steph...3 ? Wow that's sounds so difficult to deal & process. I'm so sorry honey."

At this moment I just felt so...defeated by this whole situation.

"She knew how much I wanted a baby & how much having a baby meant to me."

"Well maybe she wasn't ready...she had probably been so hurt & scared from the past miscarriages that she was afraid it was going to happen again."

I started getting frustrated with Lyssa. Why the fuck does she keep finding excuses for her.

"FUCK ALYSSA! Why the fuck do you keep defending her?! I'M THE ONE THAT'S FUCKING HURTING! SHE LEFT ME!"

Lyssa turned towards me with her eyes starting to water. Then she scoffs
Aw fuck what did I just do? I mentally face palm myself.

"Are you serious?! I didn't do any of this shit to hurt you! She did..& now you wanna take this shit out on me?! You know what..fuck you Wardell!

She open the car door & roughly slams the door. She runs up the steps & storms in the house.

I sit in the car frustrated with my damn self. I don't know why the fuck I did that to her. All she's ever done is care for me. I guess I was just overly upset & overwhelmed.

"Shit..I need to get my shit together man"

I get out & attempt to chase her in the house. As soon as I get in the door she was about to storm up the stairs.

"Alyssa, baby wait please..I'm so sorry"

She stops in her tracks on the staircase

"Baby I didn't mean to shout and get angry at you like that. It's... it's just... that this is very mind boggling for me. Like I just wanna know why she just didn't talk to me instead of running off."

She turns around & slowly starts to walk down the steps

"Well guess what Stephen..I was Ayesha"

"Wait what do you mean Lys?"

"I was sort of in the same position as her..see. In college I ended up getting pregnant with Mark's baby. Steph I was just a sophomore in college pregnant..PREGNANT! You know how my people are they hold me to a standard & I couldn't do that to them."

I was kind of confused

"So what happened?"

"I ended up deciding on getting an abortion. Mark was crushed but he understood that having a child in college was straining a lot on our plates."

"Oh..um..wow"

"Then when he finally went into the services after we graduated from college.. I ended up being pregnant again this time we were both ready & since he was going to be gone months at a time I didn't want to be lonely."

By this time she was bawling

"The baby was born 2 months early than my due date..unfortunately he died at birth"

"Oh my goodness baby.."

I could tell she was so heartbroken & was still clinging on.

"Steph..that was one of the worst days of my life"

"Mark came back to be with me..he was there & took care of me. But a year later I ended up finding out I was pregnant..again. This pregnancy took a toll on me so much. When I was 6 months with Jessi..I got the most horrifying call of my life. They told me my husband had been killed during war Stephen. THEY TOOK MY HUSBAND FROM ME! MY BABIES WERE TOOK FROM ME & THEN MY HUSBAND?!"

She was hollering & shaking while she was crying. I went to comfort her

" I was so tired of being alone & the people I love being took away from me. Now my baby has to grow up without her father. So yeah I was tryna give Ayesha the benefit of the doubt."

"Baby I'm so so sorry honey..but you don't ever have to worry about me going anywhere you hear me? Anywhere."

I deeply kissed her & embraced her so tightly. I promise with everything in me I will protect her & Jessi at any cost.
