Mirage (A Chris Brown Story)

Chapter Ten.

Arielle's P.O.V.

We finally pull up to Chris' house and I can honestly say that I'm not surprised to find that its on the good, well kept side of town as opposed to my run down house that's borderline in the hood.

"I thought we were going to Chuckie E. Cheese," Dashon says.

"Maybe later D, I don't think Ari and MiMi are up for it right now."

I hear Dashon sigh and I turn in my seat to find him with his arms crossed on his chest and a pout on his face. It is hard not to notice how cute this little boy is with his light skin, mahogany brown eyes and not to mention his deep dimples. And it takes everything inside of me not to say 'aww' as his nose scrunches up in anger.

"That's no fair! Just because they can't go don't mean we can't!" He whines his large brown eyes filling up with tears.

I can tell by the look on Chris' face that he isn't in the mood to deal with Dashon so I quickly say, "Just give MiMi and I a chance to freshen up and I promise we can go to Chuckie E. Cheese in a few hours. Okay?"

His face instantly brightens up as he chirps, "Okay!"

"Ma I'm back!" Chris shouts as we step into the grand entrance of the house.

"She's not here," another voice answers and a girl who looks to be a few years older than myself walks into the room.

It's pretty obvious that she is Dashon's mother because he looks exactly like her.

"Oh hi! And you are?" She asks me sending a curious look Chris' way.

"I'm Arielle Chris' friend," I tell her.

"It's nice to meet you Arielle, I'm Erica Chris' sister." She sticks out her hand for me to shake, so I try my hardest to softly maneuver the sleeping MiMi in my arms so that I don't wake her but also so that I can shake her hand.

"It's nice to meet you too."

***

"Do you want to talk about it?" Chris asks once we are in his bedroom.

Do I? "I don't know." I gaze down at Baby Girl who is nestled up in my arms.

"Alright well whenever you do I'm here."

Damn you Ramon! Damn it! Every time I think that I could possibly have a normal life he comes and fucks it up! I just wanna be happy! That's all I fucking want is that too much to ask for? Is it?! Don't I deserve better than this? Shit who the hell am I kidding this is all i'll ever have. This is all I deserve. That was made clear the moment that my own father did what he did. Ramon may not have been right about my mother being nothing but a piece of trash but he was right about me. Why Chris is sticking with me through all of this honestly I have no fucking clue. And now I've dragged him into my shitty fucked up life!

"I'm sorry," I sigh not looking him in the eyes.

"What? Why?"

"I've dragged you into my messed up life and you deserve so much better, you really do," I choke out, trying to swallow my tears down.

"You really believe that?" He asks me. I look up into his eyes to see pain as well as something else I can't quite describe flash through them.

"Yes."

"Arielle listen to me. I don't know all of what you've been through but I do know that you don't deserve any of it. You didn't drag me into anything, if I had a chance I'd do it all over again." Something about the way he's looking at me right now makes me believe every word that just came out of his mouth.

Why? Why is he still here? Why hasn't he told me to get the fuck out of his life and to take all of my baggage with me? This shit just doesn't make any sense to me!

"But why?" I question him even though I'm not one hundred percent sure that I want to know the answer.

"Honestly I don't know, there's just something about you Ari . But I want you to know this, as long as you need me here for you ill be here, aiight?"

"Alright."

After that Chris goes back to his normal silly self which makes me feel a lot more at ease. I'm not good with discussing my feelings and I know that Chris isn't either so I'm sure it wasn't just me who was relieved by the mood change.

Baby Girl finally wakes up so I use the bathroom that is connected to Chris' room to clean both of us up. MiMi is still a bit shaken up by what happened but you can tell that she is returning to her normal bubbly self.

"Baby Girl are you okay?" I ask her. She nods her head.

"Are you sure?"

She hangs her head before lightly answering back, "Do we have to go home? Ramon scare me Ellie."

As much as I hate to admit it Ramon is beginning to creep me out as well, and I'm not exactly ready to face him yet.

"No sweetie we'll figure out something out."

"Ellie?" She whispers looking up at me through her thick eyelashes.

"Yes?"

"Why did mommy leave us?"

The sad look on her face breaks my heart as I realize that Baby Girl is just as broken on the inside as I am. Of course she is! I mean MiMi never got go know mom so all that she really knows about her is that she left us.

"Because Baby she wanted us to be happy even if it meant she had to be sad," I tell her trying to word it so that she'll understand what I'm trying to say.

"Why would she do that?"

"Because she loves us Sweetie."

That's one thing that I know for sure. Wherever out mother is now she loves us, she always has.

***

When Baby Girl and I walk out of the bathroom we are met by Dashon who is perched on the bed.

"Alright let's go!" He chirps bouncing up and down.

"Who he?" MiMi asks gazing up at me with her huge eyes.

I open my mouth to answer but I'm cut off by Dashon.

"I am Dashon, your date for the evening. But you can call me D" he says sending my baby sister a wink almost causing her to faint.

Oh dear heavens what has Chris been teaching this boy?

Alright so there it is! :) I hope you guys like it I don't really because its choppy and what not but eh I haven't written in what feels like forever. I know this chapter Is kind of sappy but bear with me, the next one will be a lot less cheesy. I'm sorry guys but I lied when I said I'd be updating more because basketball is over. I now have track that I have to deal with so updates probably won't be scheduled or frequent. As for this update you can thank the lovely Bruno Mars because I have been listening to his newest album like crazy and this one song got me really inspired! I also have some more news.....after I finish this story there will be a sequel. With that being said you probably won't like how this story ends but it is what it is. But you have nothing to worry about because we have about 10-15 more chapters to go before I even think about ending this story! Alrighty adios my loves!
