Raven and August
1224 Words
I raced out of Erin's house to my car I was near tears trying to conceal my emotions I needed to get outta there right then and there before I exploded with overwhelmed emotions.
I fumbled and dropped my car keys while attempting to open my car door as small tear drops had already begun to fall.
August was standing behind me out of nowhere he picked up my car keys then handed them back to me not saying so much as a word nor making any real eye contact with me.
He walked past me down his driveway towards his mailbox I personally wanted to back my car up and run his muthafuckin ass over in that moment.
I sped backwards down the driveway speeding away down street through their neighborhood I were so very fuckin angry.
I turned on the radio to drown out my evasive thoughts in my head that were trying to have a conversation with me.
The tears were now rolling down my face as if it were a flowing riverbank.
I took the back of my left hand wiping my tears away.
Then the thoughts in my head took over taunting me about my current life situation.
When I got to my hotel I couldn't believe my eyes because Wallace had his funny looking ass there sitting in the lobby obviously waiting to run into me.
I didn't feel like seeing him nor talking to him at the moment I had other things on my mind.
I tried to walk right past him but Wallace spotted me calling out my name.
I turned to him but it was obvious that he could see that I was upset so he tried to console me by giving me a hug.
Honestly, I did want a hug but just not from him and I did want some attention but again just not from him.
I don't know what got into me, I knew I couldn't base my happiness off someone else pain and least of my best friend.
I just couldn't help how I was feeling how this whole situation was affecting me.
I just thought that I would be able to talk to Erin no matter the outcome but something about my feelings had shifted.
I thought I needed more time but the more time I had it had been spent with August and we never discussed anything about our baby we just kept making love not wanting to be apart or at least that's what I thought.
As soon as I got upstairs to my hotel suite August left me a text message saying (Get rid of him, now!)
Wallace seem to be overly observing my every move so I had to play it safe didn't want him to catch on to anything that was transpiring in my life right now.
Even though Wallace appeared to care I just couldn't allow him to find out it was Erin's husband before I even knew exactly what I was doing.
"Look, Wallace it's a bad time right now. I have a few errands to run and I have a doctor's visit in a few hours so I need to be getting along."
"Well, I can go with you Raven. I realize this may be a difficult time for you and I want to be here for you."
"Wallace I really appreciate everything you're trying to do but, I need some time and space right now to put things into a perspective for my own sanity."
"Well okay Raven... I'll give you all the time you need, just give me a call when you get a chance."
Wallace kissed my cheek then excused himself from my presence.
I hopped in the shower to freshen up and relax when I came out of the restroom August was sitting in my hotel suite.
August was sitting on the couch nursing a glass of liquor.
He put his glass down jumped up pin me against the wall with my wrists behind my back.
August stared at me with such intensity his eyes then he whispered to me.
"What the f**k is it that you think that you are doing?"
"Now I know your not in your feelings about living in my house with my wife and I?"
"August get the f**k off me!"
"August like what are we going to do about our baby?"
"I'll write you a check and you can take care of your little problem by yourself."
I was so enraged I slapped August across the face before I could catch my reaction.
August grabbed me around the throat this time slam me against the wall.
"b***h is you muthafuckin crazy putting your hands on me?"
"How the f**k do I even know that is even my baby?"
"Even if the baby is mines, I don't even give a f**k because I don't want to have a baby with yo ass that is my wife's job."
Those words drove me crazy so I charged at August again. I couldn't believe the words coming out of his fuckin disrespectful mouth.
I was no match for his 6'3 muscle frame August grabbed my hand mid air spun me around twisting my arm behind me back.
August shove me to the floor adding more hurt to my already bruised heart.
I sat up on the floor looking up over at August I just needed to know one thing.
"Why the f**k are you here at my hotel suite since you don't give a f**k?"
"I'm sorry if I overreacted Raven but all this baby talk is making me crazy."
"You can't insinuate to my wife anything about a baby."
"Least of all implying in any form that we know one another on any level."
"I just think it's best that we terminate this pregnancy."
"Who is this best situation for August?"
"You fuckin asshole because it certainly isn't what's best for me."
"I feel like you are trying to trap me into some type of relationship something that we will never be."
"Honey we are past relationship stage we are family now in case you had noticed."
"So are you insinuating that you plan to keep the baby against my wishes?"
"If so I want to make something very clear I have no plans being a part of your baby's life."
"Well I think it's best that Erin knows about this baby and about are affair."
August jumped down on top of me wrapped his hands around my throat then choking me.
I kneed him in the groins jumped to my feet and tried to make a run for it that's when August grabbed my leg I tripped and hit my head on the corner of the desk in my hotel room.
August was now up charging towards me that's when he kicked me in my side I fold like a lawn chair.
I grabbed my fallen laptop and cracked him over the head with as August straddled me choking me unconscious this time.
I woke up in the hospital three days later, I didn't remember much but was in pain.
My best friend Erin was by my side when I came to I had bad news her's was better.
I'd lost my baby and now my best friend was about to be a mom.
