MidNight

18

I stood from the stairs holding up rome's secret phone and throwing it on the couch as soon as Monie walked inside. "Who were you talking to?" i smiled seeing she didnt notice to phone i so clearly held... Either that or she choose to ignore her sight senses.

"Oh Girl, the salon called me about an open spot"

"Oh is that right" her jaws tightened and lips quivered. My heart pumping so fast in my chest i could hear the loud thuds in my pulsating ear,hear the heat in my blood rush fast in my veins. I was boiling mad.

Next thing i knew, i had jay'Monie by the throat my nails digging deep in her skin drawing blood. My right fist that held two diamond rings dug into her fast, tearing at her skin. I head the bone of her nose crack like a thick branch being ran over by a truck. Blood was on my knuckles, i could feel the wet, thickness of it. I slammed my fist into her eye and stood, releasing her throat watching her grasp for her his hands gripping the floor trying to get to the door but my mind refused to allow me to let her go and i lifted my foot up and slammed down on her rib cage, grabbing her face and bashing it against the wall. Repeatedly. Grabbing her ankles and pulling her deeper into the living room far away from the entrance door. Her legs swung up kicking me in the stomach and i cried out, swing my first on her bruised side. She cried out but in worse pain than me.

"My best fucking fake friend" i laughed shaking my head pausing for some air, i could feel the pain in my abdomen but ignored it and went back to her. She was still but breathing as i checked her pulse. The rush of anger raced threw me again and i found myself pummeling her repeatedly until she started to gag. Hands from behind me, from out of no where grabbed me, my scream of war to that dirty bitch.

"Nisha !sstop you gonna kill her" i blinked at the voice. It was Rome. As hard as i could i elbowed him in his face. He grip loosed and i pulled away stumbling, running up to him with my fist wide closed and stealing off on him as fast and hard as i could till i pushed me down on the couch, pinning my arms down "you fucking cheating bastard, get off me" he looked at me confused, looked back at Monie, then where the phone laid beside my head on the couch, he opened his mouth but his eyes won't confused no more. "Tanisha" he sooth but i fought him till my hand was able to get free from his grip and scratched his face "Nisha! shit!" he said and i pushed him rolling to the floor and getting up.

"I LOVED YOU! My all, that's all i had and gave ALL of that to you. Despite your job, despite your attitudes,despite what the fuck i wanted ! You pull me out of the gutter and i thought i became you love but i became your burden"

"No-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP" i smiled and chuckled "you sucked me dry, of my love and energy to fucking love you, admire you, need yo fucking pathetic ass and im your burden so you cheat on me with that" i gestered to her, laying still on the ground, her breath slow and little to the eye, her face swelling and leaking "i had nothing before but i know that inknow that you lied and cheated on me, i know that i still never had anything. Because it wont fucking real "he took a step to me pleading, "dont touch me Rome! I swear on everything i will go to that kitchen and grab a knife and cut you and her till your dead!"

I grabbed my keys "please, dont go! Nisha let me explain"

I shut the door and ran to my car, getting it. Rome ran out calling my name banging on the door but i started the car and sped away her him curse cause i ran over his foot.

I dialed Loli's number but got nothing and i cursed my eyes watering so i pulled over into a side road where there were a lot of trees.

And screamed ! Tear fell from my eyes rolling down my cheek. I felt cold and damp. I felt how i felt years ago,when i ran away from home and ended up in New York, where i became a stripper and was beaten. I felt abused and used, i felt crushed! I felt WEAK and BRITTLE. My heart ache, my bones ache, i was tiered. I thought i wouldn't ever feel this way again, i thought he was my one. My hero. My rock. He had to have loved me. When he took me in, cared for me as if i was his sister. Then slowly built me up into a strong woman,a happy and healthy woman. Now here i wasb, bald up in my car, my eyes swollen from crying, and had lived a lie. I was not happy i was not - the sound of my phone ringing made me jump and i realized all the missed calls. I looked but most of it was from only Rome but the recent one was from Nalen. My phone rung again, and i blinked my dry eyes and answered it "hello?" i said with dry lips.

"Nisha, i was afriad you weren't going to answer. Can you make it?"

Tears started filling my eyes again and my voice started to crack "umm, i d-dont think i can make it"

"You okay?" he cleared his throat "Tanisha" his tongue softly pronounced my name like carmel melting on your tongue. "Talk to me, come to me, anything just let me see yo- Tanisha drive to the lodge i sent you the address"

"I cant"

"You can" he said "I'm waiting"
