Girlfriends

Chapter Three

The weekend had come to an end and David left early that Sunday morning. It was back to my normal routine and I hated it. I soon noticed that Kita hadn't been talking to me lately, and Antwon had been over more and more each day. La'shawn was crazy over him and it seemed as if Antwon was fallen for her as well. It bothered me that the situation was happening right in front of me and there I was letting it all go down. I knew if Kita found out I knew and didn't tell her, she would never forgive me, and I couldn't imagine the hurt that would cause me, because she had been my friend since freshman year of high school. I didn't want to lose our friendship over some shady ass nigga.
Since Kita was heavy on my mind I decided to give her a call to see what was up. She answered very nonchalant, and I sensed something was wrong.
"Where you been ducked off at girl"? She replied with "nowhere just keeping to myself and peeping shit out". I knew what she was referring to when she said that, but I left it alone. I knew eventually she would tell me what she had dug up about Antwon. So we continued small talk and she soon broke down. I could hear the hurt in her voice. I had never seen this side of Kita and it bothered me. As she was bawling in tears she said "I know Antwon has done his dirt in the past and fucked a lot of nothing ass hoes, but at the end of the day they knew, he knew, and I was for sure I was always number one". I couldn't say anything because I knew where she was going with it. She cried "he has fallen in love with someone else I can sense it. Having another bitch take my spot is like a slap in the face to me. I've held that nigga down through thick and thin and for him to have a number one that's not me hurts like hell".
At that very moment I started to tell Kita everything that was going on, but something in me said don't do it. It was deeper than me just being in the middle of the situation at this point. I knew if I was to tell her what had been going on I would be the cause of her pain, because I let it go on this long, and I just couldn't do it. "You deserve better Kita believe me when I tell you. There are plenty guys that would cherish you, and be happy to make you there number one. Make him notice that he's not the only one that can play the game". When I said that, it's like the tears never fell from her eyes. She instantly was back to the Kita I knew. The one, that wasn't going to let anyone bring her down, and make her feel like she was less than what she was.
After we hung up I felt better because I knew Kita was fixing to get even with Antwon. But, I knew when she did, everything would fall apart and regardless of La'shawn being the leading lady in Antwon's life right now. Kita and I knew he would dread seeing Kita with someone else, because he was the type who wanted his cake and eat it too.
​A few hours had passed and Diamond had just gotten home, and it was odd because she had shades on and it was clearly dark outside. Normally, when she comes home she's all smiles, but tonight was much different. I could see it all on her face. She went to her room slammed the door and she seemed real jittery, because I could hear things falling. I knocked on the door to see if it was okay for me to enter, but she didn't respond to my knock so I just walked in. "Diamond what's wrong, why you wearing those shades girl"? She didn't answer any of my questions. DIAMOND! What's wrong with you, why you crying? Take them damn shades off before I snatch'em off. "Leave me alone" she muttered. NO! Not until you tell me what you trying to hide under them shades. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE"? Diamond yelled. What the hell happened to your face? She had a black eye that she could barely open. "Diamond who did this to you, was it Dre"? She nodded reassuring me that it was indeed Dre that had bashed her face in. All she could do was cry, and in my mind I was thinking it was just a matter of time before her fast pace sex life caught up with her, and it when it did it was nothing nice.
​She went on saying how he told her that she wouldn't be with anybody else but him, and if he was to ever find out it would be the end of her. By the looks of her face he wasn't playing games either. "I'm so scared to tell Stephen what I've gotten myself into, because I really am in love with him". All I could do at the moment was look at her in disbelief, because I couldn't believe this had actually happened. I tried to find the perfect thing to say, but nothing I thought of would ease her mind. Hell, the poor girl looked terrified and I couldn't blame her, I would be too. Diamond said that Dre had been following her to work, and popping up wherever he thought she would be with another nigga. I told her the best thing to do was to go to the police, but she didn't think that was the best solution, so I told her I would. She begged and pleaded me not to, and I had finally had enough. "Diamond if you want to do this the hard way and risk your life you go right ahead, but I will not see you walk in this apartment another night with a black eye, bruise, or broken body part". You better figure something out quick or I will take this into my own hands.
