Trouble (Urban)

Chapter 43

Ariane

I got into my car and it started to rain. I pulled out of Shantay's driveway and headed... anywhere. I just needed to get away from all of this. I came to a red light and sat back and thought anout everything that Quinton and I had been through just for Chanelle to come back and fuck it up.

I started cryig harder and harder. The harder I cried the harder the rain started to come down and the angrier I got. The light turned green and I sped off trying to get as far away as possible.  I headed fro 163rd street  toward Oleta River.

"Lord please forgive me for what I am about to do" I said to myself. I pulled my car up onto the dock of the river and parked. I kissed my fingers and put them on my stomach.

"Its for the best" I whispered. I put the car in drive and drove 60 mph straight into the river. The car sunk rapidly. I did not try to move or struggle to get out. This was the only way. The pressure of the water broke the windows as more water started filing into the car.

"Im sorry" I took my last breath as the water filled up to the top of the car. But something strange started to happen. The car began lifting out of the water.

No No No!! Whats happening I was almost there.

The car was all the way out of the water and I choked as air came into my lungs.

"Ma'am are you okay?" A police officer asked as a crane put the car on the grass next to the dock. 

"Ma'am are you okay?" he asked again. I looked at him and everyone else who was out just looking at me. I jumped out of my car and ran. i dont know why or where I was gonna go but I just ran and ran and ran until I passed out.

Chanelle

I sat in my room watching Tv all day. I didnt feel like being bothered by anyone and Im gald Shantay and Alonzo respected that I needed to be alone right now. 

I had so many htoughts running through my mind. Am I still in live with him? Yes. Do I want him back? Yes. 

Knock Knock

So much for respecting that I wanted to be alone.

"Come in"

Quniton walked and closed the door before he sat on my bed.

"Quinton what are you doing here? Bet not be to scold me about beating that lil girl ass"

"You talkin bout Ari?"

"Yeah"

"She's 8 months pregnant. What you hit her for?"

"Lil bitch ran up in here tryna lay her hands on me so I had to tap that ass" I said.

"Well where she at?"

"How the fuck Im supposed to know? I aint her keeper"

"I think ima break up with Ari"

Yes! Yes! Yes! I thought on the inside but on the outside I was like "Okay what you tellin me for?"

"Because. I was sitting at home thinking-" 

"That's dangerous" i said interrupting.

"Anyways I was sitting at home thinking that even though I love Ariane Im just not in love with her"

"Well who are you in love with"

He grabbed my hand. "You. I couldn't get you outta my head Nelle. No matter how hard I tried you were always on my mind"
