Chapter 14

Excuse any mistakes

SUMMER

"I thought It would've stopped" Trina sniffed.

Jhene, Trina and I were in Trey's room laying on his bed. My head was rested on her lap and Jhene's head was resting on her shoulder as she hugged her. We had now settled in after the commotion. Trina refused to go to the hospital so we brought her home. The boys were  downstairs. But we knew that they were comforting Trey because he was in a wreck just like Trina.

"They both would beat me if they came home and see something out of place. If they were upset about something especially if my mom didn't have any money to buy drugs" Trina cried "I loved that woman and I was wishing that one day she would love me back. But she was in love with drugs more than her own fucking daughter. I worked everyday to try and help us out" She broke down and I sat up and hugged her with Jhene. It's surprising  how someone who seemed so happy and made other people happy was so broken inside.

"Now your safe Trina"I comforted her "You don't have to go through this again. We got you and we're here for you. Just don't keep secrets like this from us again please." I begged and Jhene nodded

"Yeah we're girls and we tell each other everything. We love you girl, we don't ever wanna yo ass hurt" Jhene finished making Trina smiled a little

"I'm sorry" she said "Thank you guys for being here for me throughout the years and saving me" she said and we hugged her.

"We are Forever" Jhene said as she looked me "Right Summ" I nodded but deep down I knew that I didn't belong in this lifetime. I wish it was forever because through the drama and everything I was so much happier here. I was comfortable.

"I think you owe Trey an apology" I said and Trina looked down at her nails

" Iknow" she responded softly "He probably hates me"

"No he doesn't," Jhene comforted her "I know he's probably hurt tho. I mean seeing someone u love being hurt right in front of your face and not even realizing it will hurt like a fucker"

"Yeah  Iknow"Trina agreed.

The bedroom door opened and Trey stood there in the door way.

"Um I'm hungry"I began getting up from the bed.

Jhene caught on "Me too let's get sumn to eat."

"Talk to him"I whispered before we left the room.

TRINA

I watched as Jhene and Summer left leaving me and Trey alone in an uncomfortable silence. I looked up to see that he was staring right at me.

"I'm sorry" I said and he shook his head as he began to pace in the room. I knew he was angry cause he only does that when he is.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. his voice was deep and bitter.

"I dont kno-" I was cut off when he punched the wall making me jump.

"Please tell me the truth for once!" he shouted

Tears began to fall and I cried in my hands. I felt his arms come around me as he rocked me back and forth "I'm sorry" I cried "I didn't want you to know cause I didn't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I didn't want for anyone to take me away from her. I thought that I would've helped her and one day she will change and begin caring for me the way I cared for her. I didn't want want to worry you about irrelevant shit because you have your own problems"

"You concern me so therefore anything that goes on with you is my problem also" he said

"Yes I know but face it trey, since Tyrese died you haven't been the same" His body stiffened when I said that "I know you still think about him and you're still hurt over him. I see you trying to fight you own demons everyday Trey and then you're hustling in the streets to try and help out your mom and help Rashad in college. You got a lot on your plate Trey. I would be selfish if I decide to drown you with my problems too." I sniffed "I love you man. I wanna be your peace."

He held my face up to his as a few tears fell from his eyes "Trina Lawson, you are my wife. You are my peace. And seeing you today in that condition hurt me the most because all I could've thought about is losing someone who I love once again. When I saw u, I had flaskbacks of Tyrese getting shot in front of me, and as I held you in my arms, I remember the way I held Tyrese in my arms as his life was slowly slippin' away. In that moment, all I knew was that I couldn't lose someone I love again."

I stared at him "You're mine Trina and I can't lose you" he broke down "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you" I held him as he broke down in my arms "I need you to stay Trina"

I comforted him "I'm here to stay Trey" I whispered. "I promise you"

RASHAD

"Have you called your Aunt and let her know you staying over?"I asked Summer. We were in my room and she was laying between my legs and leaned back into my chest as I held her. She nodded as she played with my beard. I looked down at Summer, she was so concentrated on my beard she didn't realise how i was staring at her. I looked at her plump full lips to her honey brown eyes and Her sunkissed melanin skin. Summer was beautiful in and out. I had fallen deeply in love with this girl. She looked at me and her cheeks turned red as she blocked her face.

"Stop looking at me" she said and I laughed and removed her hand

"You too beautiful for me to look away from you" I said before I leaned in and kissed her lips. When I pulled away she smiled.

"I think we should go out onna date. Whatchu think about that?" I asked and she nodded

"Yeah sounds great"

"How bout this weekend?"

"Yeah I'm free" she said. I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. This would be our first date and I had to admit that I was excited for it. Being with Summer was something I had always wanted and now I was able to finally put my fears of hurting her to the side and let her be mine. I watched at her as she traced my tattoos  on my hand until her her finger tips stopped on a particular tattoo making my heart race a little. She lightly traced the numbers with her finger tips.

SUMMER

"21/02/2018"  I whispered softly as my finger tips traced the numbers on his wrist. "What's this?"I asked as I looked up at him. "That's the day Tyrese had died"he responded softly looking back at me. "Oh"I looked back down at the tattoo "I'm sorry that happened to him". He wrapped his arms around me tightly "Don't worry about it"he muttered as he kissed the side of my head. The room was then filled with comfortable silence  as we just lated up in his bed. But I couldn't help but repeat the date in my head '21/02/2018'  because it rang bells in my head but I couldn't put my finger exactly on it. It was like I heard it before but I didn't know where. After a few minutes I began dosing into a sleep and I felt my body be laid on the bed as a reflex i cuddled into him. He stroked my hair gliding over my temples "I promise to always be with you Summer Reese"
