A month later
"Kween we talked about this sweetie." My Aunt say softly as I sniffle. "Auntie please I don't think I can do this anymore." I sighed wiping my tears away for the 100th time. It seemed the longer I stay, the worse it gets. It's been a month since the incident at the warehouse, Zeus has become worse. It's like he is angry all the time, but you wouldn't know since he is so calm, we have been working at the clubhouse nonstop trying to make up what we lost. My job was making sure the money was accounted for and counting inventory as it came and went, plus we haven't started on the marriage project yet, and I wouldn't know what to say about him in my essay.
Just to keep from his wrath, I been riding with Gigi or the girls and sometimes Donovan, but that instantly came to an end when I realized how homophobic he was. He seems to always have something to say when he sees me around Gigi.... imagine what he'll think about me.
And being at home is no better, Charles gave me testosterone pills to take and is making me cut my hair saying I needed to be looking like his son since that what God gave him. I have yet to do anything he asks of me. The only little peace I have is when Artemis and Madeline is around. It has been complicated trying to hide her and keep her when Charles is home, but Its all worth it. I learned she likes oranges, Peppa pig, and likes to play with my colorful bangles that I have in my jewelry box. Every time she looked up with that beautiful bright smile and my day gets brighter. Madeline always tries to motivate me to see better days....
But today..... darkness clouds over my heart as I come to the realization......I wanted this to end....i didn't belong here and I wasn't wanted.
"Auntie please just let me come home." I cried . " Baby I wish I could, but it Charles decision if you come or not." She replied. " What are you talking about?....I'm 18."
" And while you're in school, you're still considered a minor......I had to give full custody to him so you would be able to go to school down there, I'm so sorry sweet heart " she says as more tears come down my face. " Listen to me.....you gotta stay strong, you can't let them see you fold. You are the child of Evelyn Agu....you are stronger than what you think are and nobody can take that from you." She stated.
" Okay." I say wiping my face, I know my eyes were swollen from all the crying I did." The holidays will be here before you know it and we can go from there okay." She stated.
"Okay." I say lowly. "I love you Kween..."
"I love you too auntie." I hung up tossing the phone right next to me on the bed. I look out the window seeing the rain pour down, thunder roaring. It was supposed to be sunny today.....nothing but a dark Saturday.
I get up from the bed leaving out to the living room to check on Artemis. She was still sleeping in her play pen, how I wish to be peaceful like her. I smile softly as I took a strand of hair placing it away from her face.
"Your dad a lucky man to have you.....wonder when he getting home?" I whispered as I looked at the clock on the wall. He had been gone since 9 this morning and it was already going on 6 pm. It was just me and Artemis today, since Maddie was helping my dad at the office.
I walked back to my room as I rubbed my temple trying to ease the headache that was trying to involve into a migraine. I go in my bathroom looking for my Advil in the medicine cabinet, after 30 minutes I gave up as I groaned. I took a deep breath not trying to cry again since it would only make my head hurt more .
I can always take over if this is too much.
" No no, not this shit right now." I groaned.
Oh bitch please, you know you miss me.
I sighed as I turned around to see her leaning against the door frame smirking at me as her olive green eyes bore into me.
" Hey Ghen baby." She smiled.
"Scorpio please just go away." I whined. "You know that not how it works." She rolled her eyes. I walked out of the bathroom taking deep breaths and counting to 10.
"This is not real ...... This is not real....when I open my eyes, you will be gone." I say to myself as I opened my eyes to see her sitting at the end of the bed reading a magazine. " Yea no I'm still here." She flipped a page in the book. "Oh God." I laid back on the bed not believing this shit, and to think it could not get any fucking worse.
"Look I'm only here because you're going to the deep end" She stated. " No I'm not, I'm going through some shit that it." I replied. "You went through shit last time and look how that ended."
"Don't you fucking dare.....that was a whole different situation."
" And you were looking just like this then too.....just pathetic." She dry chuckled. " Yea just keep jabbing me while I'm already down." I sighed. " That's not what I'm trying to do.....I'm trying to help you. You know It and I know it, I be damn if I watch you destroy yourself.....momma wouldn't want that." She says softly. " I'm hurting.....I'm hurting so bad." I cried out as I rolled to my side. " That why I'm here......let me help ease the pain....if only for a little while." She says as she scooted up closer holding her hand out to me.
I shakingly held my hand out grabbing it. " We are in this together no matter what." That was the last thing I heard before I let the darkness take over me.
