Allergies

"Is that what you really think?"

"Lately yeah"

She got up in frustration separating us and laid on her side facing her back towards me.

"Goodnight" she said before the room got silent.

"Maybe space is what we need I mean look at the boys—Maybe your right" she said cutting me off.

I looked at her back feeling a pain in my chest.
I wanted her to turn around so back. I wanted her to fight for us. So I just excepted it for what it was and laid down trying to close my eyes.

It was hard to fall asleep but once I did
I had the best sleep I had in days. I woke in a good mood till I remembered what happened last night.

And there was no sight of Toni either.
Assuming she was downstairs cooking breakfast I made my way to her bathroom.

I stopped myself from opening the door once I heard someone crying on the other side of the door.

"Toni" I whispered to myself.

I just left her alone and sat on the edge of her bed.
I was hurting because she was hurt. As I sat there thinking about her she finally opened the door.

And out she came making direct eye contact with me.
Her eyes were red and puffy. And I could tell she just wiped her face.

"Are you okay?"

She ignored me and walked right past me to her closet.
I grabbed her by her arm and pulled her into my arms.

"We can't run away from this now.
I don't want to hurt you"

"Yeah well your hurting my arm" she said yanking away from me.

"I'm sorry" I said following her into her closet.

"Chris I don't know what you want from me.
You want everyone to know about us and now your saying you were better off as a secret" she said looking at me with tears in her eyes.

"Toni please let me explain"
I tried wipping her eyes but she backed away before the doorbell rung.

"I think that's Keri and the boys. Excuse me" she said shoving her way past me.

Toni POV

I ran downstairs trying to fake a smile before I opened the door wiping my face dry.

"Heyy" I said smiling.

"Hey Mom- Hey Ma"

Denim and Deziel both gave me a hug
before coming in.

"Are you okay Mom" Denim asked.

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Allergies" Keri asked.

"Yeah Allergies"

"Hey before you close the door. I'm really sorry for the
way I acted those weeks ago. I'm sorry for putting my hands on, you know"

"Chris?"

"Yeah and isn't that his car. Tell him I said hi"

"Maybe you can tell him yourself. CHRIS CAN YOU COME DOWNSTAIRS PLEASE!?"

Keri rolled his eyes as Chris ran down the steps before coming to the door. Chris didn't say anything he just looked Keri up and down.

"Look I'm sorry"

"That's it" I asked Keri.

"Did you tell the Denim and Deziel" Chris asked.

"Yes I did, in the car on the way here"

"Okay that's all I wanted" Chris said before slamming the door in Keri's face.

I giggled with him before the boys came downstairs.

"Don't worry I'm leaving"

"No Chris you can stay" Deziel yelled at him.

"You guys aren't mad anymore?"

"No"

Chris looked at me before giving me a
kiss on my forehead.

"I don't know if your mom wants me too" he said looking at me.

"Chris!"

I held his arm stopping him from leaving.
