Accidental Encounter

10. She's toxic

"What are you doing here? How the fuck did you get in? Get the fuck out of my house Jessica!" Bruno yelled.

"Jessica?!" I questioned as I threw on a robe and walked towards the door.

"Who the fuck is that? Aw you have your basic girlfriend here, and she's wearing MY robe! Well that bitch is going to learn tonight since she didn't learn the first time." Jessica yelled as she picked up her pace towards the bedroom. 

Bruno stood in the doorway ready for a battle.  He pushed me back away from him as he reached for Jessica.  "Aw baby look at your cast.  See you need a real woman here to take care of you. Let me see your arm, I'll kiss it and make it all better." Jessica said as she tried to grab his arm.  "Bitch get off me." He yelled as he swung his arm up hitting Jessica in the chin with his cast.

"Ahh! Now that wasn't nice baby.  Come say you're sorry. " Jessica pouted.

I made my way up to their scuffle pushing Bruno behind me. "Look bitch he said get out so get...the...fuck...out!" I yelled as I pushed her backwards.  "Mighty mouse here is looking to get beat the fuck down.  Hahahahah" she laughed as she reached for a brass pineapple paperweight Bruno had on a shelf in the hallway.  "Fight like a woman not a little bitch Jessica.  Put the pineapple down and handle this right." I yelled as I reached for her hand in hopes of knocking the paperweight out of her grip.   She threw it at me as Bruno tried to get between us.  "Bruno get back.  I'm gonna handle this bitch.   Back the fuck up!" I ordered.   He stepped back and Jessica and I lunged at eachother.  I made perfect contact with her chin as she reached for my hair causing her to stumble back and pull me with her. I continued swinging making sure every punch found its intended place on her pretty little face.  She pushed me into Bruno's brass palm trees that were positioned in the corner of the living room.   One of the trees must have cut my back because I felt the warm sensation of fluid running down my back.  I slipped on my own blood causing me to hit the coffee table and Jessica to fall to her knees.  She let go of my hair and I jumped up and kicked her in the ribs.  "You fucking psycho.   I know you tried to kill Bruno!  You fucking bitch.  I know what you're up to!" I yelled as I spat bloody saliva on her.  She looked up with a possessed look on her face. "Pinche puta! He was my man.  MINE!  You came along and brainwashed him.  You came to OUR house.  You deserve to die for ruining OUR life!" Jessica yelled as she attempted to stand up.  "Hahahaha I didn't do shit but stop to get a chicken sandwich.   If your perfect ass was home cooking for your man he would have never crossed paths with me....but noooooo you were out fucking HIS keyboard player...and you have the nerve to call me a puta." I yelled back.  I started to feel dizzy and weak stumbling back towards the couch.  Jessica attempted to stand but her shoes kept slipping in my pool of blood.  Just as she was getting her balance I heard a click and looked up to focus. Bruno was standing behind Jessica with a gun to her head. "You have 5 seconds to get the fuck out of my house and out of my life or I will blow the crazy out of your fucking head" he growled as he turned her head towards the front door.  "Oh Bruno please.  You don't have the balls to use that.  My little Booski doesn't have the balls to us a gun, especially not on me.  You love me remember? You tell me all the time." She said turning to face Bruno.  "No bitch I thought I loved you.  I thought you loved me, but you didn't.  Truth is...you loved my money and my lifestyle, not me!  Take your ass back to Spanish Harlem, or better yet enjoy prison.  You make a mighty fine bitch and they will love you in there." He replied as the distant sound of sirens was heard in the background. 

I woke up in a strangely familiar place.  I felt like I had been crushed by a car.  My chest felt tight and my back was sore.  Rubbing the confusion out of my eyes I focused on an angelic face. "Hey baby. I'm so glad you are okay.  Don't try to get up.  Just relax.  You're in the hospital." Bruno said as he caressed my face.

"Why? What happened? I was fine.   I didn't have to come here." I said confused.

"You cut yourself pretty bad on my palm tree and somehow broke a rib that punctured your lung. The doctor said you'll be fine but you have to stay here a few days while you have this chest tube in.  I'm not leaving your side.   I gotchu girl." He said as he handed me a wash cloth.

"Where's Jessica? " I questioned. 

"We won't have to worry about her for a while.   She was arrested last night.  Don't worry, she's not a threat anymore." He said with a sad tone in his voice.

"Baby what's wrong?  Why do you sound so sad.  Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine.  I just never imagine things would get this out of control.  Look at you.  Look at me.  I never though it would be this way." He explained as tears started rolling down his face. 

"It's not your fault.  She's crazy.  You didn't know.  I didn't know.  I feel like this is...my fault" I whispered.

"I approached you.  I gave you my number. I involved myself with your innocence. It is my fault." He said cutting me off.

"Bruno no!  It is what it is.  It was obviously meant to happen.  You needed her out of your life and I needed someone like you in my life.  It just happened.   We're alive, we have eachother to get through this.  We are strong." I said.

He stared at me for a minute them leaned in a kissed my forehead.   "I'm gonna make a phone call.  I'll be right back." He said walking out of the room.
