Love The Hurt Away

Everything Comes To The Light

"YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING ALONE! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UNDERFUCKINGSTAND THAT!" Detrick released her and paced back and forth like a mad man. "Had you have been honest from jump I would have been prepared to protect you, Delaney, and us. Instead this nigga just loved telling me how your still married." Dessiah raced in front of him to look in his eyes and show her sincerity.

"Detrick I swear I was going to tell you but...I just"

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" He picked up the picture of them and threw it at the wall smashing its glass. "You were never going to tell me Dessiah. You had too many opportunities to just be honest." Dessiah dropped to her knees and just wept in her hands. Detrick balled his fists and screamed to the top of his lungs. "Why Dessiah? Baby why didn't you just tell me? I asked you to be honest with me? You know what I been through, why? De tell me why?" He had fallen to his knees in front of her and began to cry pleading for answers. "I loved you. All you had to do was tell me."

"Baby I was scared you wouldn't understand. I just wanted to make it go away so that we could move on and build a life together." Detrick wiped his face sniffling. He looked at her and became even angrier.

"So you thought deceiving me would be better than just being real and honest? You ain't no different from any other female I've dealt with..." Detrick stood from the floor and she followed him with her eyes. He headed towards the door to block him from leaving.

"Detrick wait! Please wait! It's not what you think I swear. Just let me explain please?" He said nothing. "I had tried to get the divorce for the past two years but he would never acknowledge the papers and I'd get them back. I went to New Orleans to have him served and get my grandmother's house back. Detrick I never meant to hurt you I swear. Please believe me! Please Baby! Please!" She begged. Detrick finally looked her in the face and calmly said "Dessiah I let you in to places in my heart I never let anyone else. I accepted your child as my own. I kept my promise to love you past your pain and all you did was think about how being honest with me would affect you. DELANEY cried in my arms tonight. SHE WEPT IN MY ARMS DESSIAH. What you do and the choices you make don't just affect you."

"I know De. I know."

"Yea but you also think you can do everything by yourself, so what do you need me for?" Dessiah didn't respond. "Exactly." Detrick reached to open the door and she pushed it closed.

"Detrick please don't go! Baby we can work through this. I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Just please don't leave me."

"If you really loved me then you wouldn't have lied to me. "

"I didn't want to lie Detrick I just wanted to fix everything. I felt like I could make it right."

"Well great job! Since you wanna fix everything, have fun fixing it by your damn self." Detrick pulled the door open moving her out of the way. He headed in the rain and Dessiah rain behind him screaming. "Detrick please don't leave! BABY GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE! PLEASEEEE!" She cried. Dessiah slipped in the rain and Detrick turned to look at her closing his car door. He took two steps forward towards her. The rain showered on them both. "When you explain to Delaney what it means to be an independent woman, make sure you tell her what you lost by doing it all by yourself! You can't be the victim in this Dessiah, this was you're doing. I'm not another man who did you wrong. I'm not a man who walked out on you. I'm the man who chose to love you, to pray for you, to cherish you both. I chose to honor you and in return you chose... to break my heart." Detrick turned away leaving her sitting on the wet ground in the rain. He got in his car and drove away. Away from the woman he loved, the family he desired, and the woman who betrayed him and broke not only his heart but his spirit.

"DETRICKKKK!! DETRICKKKK PLEASEEEE COME BACK. Please." Dessiah screamed at his passing car. Thunder was the only thing to respond to her out cry. The rain blended in with her tears. Crying into her hands "OH GOD! WHAT DID I DO! AHHHH DETRICKKK! BABY COME BACKKKK! GOD NOO.
