"okay baby i'm sorry, i-i won't break the glasses again!" i cried as my long-term boyfriend beat on me. i was just tryna get a glass to drink from and it accidentally fell, shattering over the kitchen floor. after a couple minutes he came in yelling at me. then that turned into him punching me square in the face.
this abuse has been going on since we first started dating, which was 3 years ago. i tried to leave a couple times, but he said he'd get people to jump me. and i didn't want that. so here i am, getting beat by my lover with no one to help. "no bitch, them shits were expensive. and you betta go out and buy more." he yelled letting his forces kick me in my ribs again.
he muttered something but i couldn't understand because i was crying my ass off. a idea popped into my head when he said to buy more. i'll get me an apartment where he couldn't find me. i slowly and painfully got up limping upstairs to MY room that i didn't share with him. i grabbed my apple laptop and got to work finding a place far from here.
i came across a nice place displayed in deerfield. i cheered getting happy, but that smile disappeared as he called my name.
"yes." i stated as i walked into his room. "clean up, my future wife
coming over." he smirked looking up. it hurt inside that i couldn't be in his future, but i knew at some point it'd get better. i nodded and started cleaning up the house hearing a knock on the door after. i opened it seeing my ex bestie. when she seen me her smile dropped.she tried to touch my face but i slapped her hand away. she didn't even try to help me the first i got beat on. "can i help you?"
"i-i'm here for jahseh.." she stammered. i was gonna stay quiet but something took over me. i hit her causing her to stumble back. "you
fucking bitch." i said spitting next to her and shutting the door.••
"Xirra and gek c'mere babies." i called to my twins. i heard giggles and footsteps. i had finally escaped that hell of a household. i found out that i was pregnant with his children and didn't tell him cause of the shit he did to me. and months later i had these beautiful ass twins; Xirra Marie Onfroy and Gekyume Ricardo Onfroy. both 5.
pronounced zeer-ra.
"hey mommy!" they both called. "yall want ice cream?" they screamed 'yes' while jumping around. we left pulling up to baskin robbins. as i held the door open for my kids i saw this man with grey dreads. it seemed like he was coming in so i held the door. as he looked up, i seen who it was. i widened my eyes and turned around letting go of the door.
dammit!
i got the ice cream for them and sat at the table i told them to sit at. "mommy who's that ugly man staring at you?" Xirra asked. i nearly cackled. "uhh ion know mamas." i hoped he didn't hear what she said.
"so you'n know me now babygirl." i heard a raspy voice boom next to me. i already knew who it was. "is it good yall?" i ignored him. "so that's what w-"
"get the fuck away from me and my children." i warned. i was already tired of his presence. "damn. what i did?" he asked this dumb ass question. "what did you do? nigga you beat me for years and i almost died once from it. you were fucking my best friend too. you really wanna ask this dumbass question my nigga? like i said get the fuck away." i mugged now pissed all the way off.
he frowned. "i'm- im sorry alright." "you not fucking sorry. are you done now, i'm tryna bond with my kids."
he glanced at them for some time then back at me. "are they mine?" his eyes getting watery. i stayed quiet.
he broke down quickly hugging me. "i'm so fuckin sorry T. i really am." i wanted to feel bad but i kept the same blank face. after he stopped crying he looked me in my eyes. "can i be in their lives?" i figured i couldn't keep them from him, and nodded. i turned to them smiling. "hey babies, this is your fucked up father. say hey." they both greeted him.
they got up and jumped in his arms as he picked them both up. they talked and talked as i watched them carefully while grinning.
if only we were a happy family...
