SECRETS CH.10

Chapter 10

Renee

When I came to, I felt blood dripping down my face, my head was pounding drastically, and I couldn’t see anything in the darkness. It took me awhile to remember what happened, but when my eyes adjusted  I looked at Erica and everything came back to me. She had tears running down her face and her eyes were puffy and red. I could tell that she had been crying for awhile. I then noticed that Erica’s hands and feet were bound together, so I looked down and just as I suspected so were mine, but I also saw that Sally didn’t tie my hands behind my back, she tied them in front of me. I knew I had to get Erica and I out of this situation, so I decided to use Sally’s slip up to my advantage. There was no light in the closet, so I had to feel around the room for anything I could use to free me and Erica. I felt around the room for a good five minutes when I finally stumbled upon a screwdriver. I gripped the tool with my right hand and started punching holes in the tape. Once I had enough holes in the tape I ripped the tape and freed my hands. I then snatched the tape off of my mouth and legs and proceeded to do the same to Erica.

“Oh thank you, finally!” Erica screamed.

“Shh! You don’t want her coming back do you?”

“Oh my bad, I am just relieved. What are we going to do now?”

“Well, we are going to try to sneak out of the house without her realizing it.”

“What if she is in the room?”

“I doubt she is because if she was, she wouldn’t have closed the closet door. She would have left it open to monitor us.”

“Yeah, good point, but what if she is in the living room.”

“Then we will be able to see her from the stairs before she sees us. If she is down there then we will grab a vase or something  and bust her in the head with it like she did me with that gun.”

“Why cant we just climb out of the window?”

“Because she has bars on the window.”

“I don’t know Renee, I’m kind of scared.”

“Well you are going to be kind of dead if we don’t get out of here.”

“Okay come on I’m ready.”

We quietly and slowly opened the closet door and Sally wasn’t in the room. I heard Erica breath a sigh of relief. We tip toed to the door and peaked out. When we saw that everything was clear, we walked out into the hallway. We quietly walked down the stairs and saw that the living room light was on.

“I think she is down there?” Erica whispered.

“No shit.”

Erica tip toed down the stairs and came running back up.  

“Yeah she is down there sitting on the couch. What are we going to do?”
 I was trying to think of something to do when I noticed the vases sitting on the table against the wall at the bottom of the stairs.

“Do you see those vases down there?” I asked Erica.

“Yeah.”

“We are going to use those to knock Sally out. Are you ready?”

“Yeah I think so.”

“Don’t think Erica just do.”

“Okay okay I’m ready.”

“On the count of three. One……..two…….three.”

Me and Erica ran down the stairs, grabbed the vases, and charged at Ms. Sally who was supposed to be sitting on the couch. That’s when I felt something slam down on my head. That’s all I remember before I fell unconscious.

Beverly

As I stood there pointing the gun at everybody, I started thinking about how my life had gone from sugar to shit in less than 24 hours. Just thinking about everything made me even more pissed off than I already was, so I decided to take my anger out on the person who was responsible for my pain, Darren. I shot his ass in the arm and everybody started screaming. I guess they had finally realized that I wasn’t playing anymore games.

“Ouch! Fuck!” Darren screamed.

“Oh my gosh, you just shot him!” Denasia said.

“No shit Sherlock. If you don’t shut the fuck up, you will be next.” I responded.

I could tell that she was in shock by my statement because she opened her mouth in awe.

“Close your mouth before I shoot a bullet down your throat.” I told her.

“Maybe if Darren had did that instead of shooting in side of her, maybe she wouldn’t be pregnant.” said Michael.

I was really beginning to get fed up with his slick ass comments, so I shot him in the arm.

“Fuck fuck fuck!” he screamed like a little bitch. I don’t know what Denasia ever saw in him.

“Beverly I think you should put the gun down before you do something crazy. Lets all just talk about this like adults.” Janet stated.

“ Unless you want to end up like your husband and your faggot son, I suggest you shut up.” I told her.

“I’m so sick of everybody calling me a faggot! I am not gay!” Michael yelled.

Everybody looked at him as if he had lost his mind.

“Who the fuck told you that getting fucked in the ass didn’t make you gay?!” Denasia shouted.

“And who the fuck told you that fucking your mother’s fiancé made you a saint?! Cause in my book you are just as wrong as I am.” Michael responded.

I was sick of all of the arguing so I screamed, “Everybody shut the fuck up before I get trigger happy!”

Then somebody’s cell phone started ringing.

“Who’s cell phone is that?” I asked

“Its mine. My mother is calling me.” Janet responded.

“Let it go to voicemail and bring it here. Matter of fact everybody bring me their cell phones.”

They all started handing me their cell phones.

“Okay, now that that is out of the way, lets play a game called Q and A? I’ll ask somebody a question and that person will answer. If anybody speaks out of turn then they get a bullet. Am I clear?”

Everybody nodded their heads.

“Okay lets start with Janet. Why are you here?”

“I knew Darren’s skank ass was cheating on me, but I wanted to see for myself, so I flew down here to catch him in the act.” She answered.

“So you already knew about me huh?”

“Yeah Michael kept me updated with everything.”

“Okay next we have Denasia. Denasia, what possessed you to screw around with Darren knowing that he and I was supposed to be getting married?”

“I don’t know it just happened.” She said.

“Shit don’t just happen. Who pursued whom?”

“He chased after me. I was never interested in him before.”

“That bitch is lying!” Darren screamed

I shot his ass in the other arm.

“Ouch!”

“No speaking out of turn.” I reminded him. “That’s all for now Denasia. Next we have Michael. How long have you and Darren been sleeping with each other?”

“Since he been here.” he responded.

“Did it ever cross your mind to tell me that Darren was gay?”

“No, not really.”

He said it so nonchalant that it pissed me off, so I shot him in the foot.

“Oh damn! What was that for?”

“For being so damn careless about what happens to other people. Now its Darren’s turn. What was you hoping to gain by sticking your dick in everything that has a hole?”

“I didn’t plan on it, it just happened.” he answered.

“Did you ever really love me?”

“Yes I did. I promise that I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I made a mistake by sleeping with Denasia while you was at work. A few weeks after that she told me she was pregnant. I stayed with her because I didn’t want to risk you finding out.”

My emotions started getting the best of me and tears started falling down my face.

“What about Renee?” I was barely able to ask.

“Renee found out about me and Denasia and threatened to tell you if I didn’t sleep with her.”

“Beverly don’t fall for his shit. Darren is a master liar, he can lie his way out any situation.” Janet told me.

“Baby don’t listen to her. She is mad because she knows that I care about you more than I care about her.” Darren said.

“Beverly take it from a woman who has been through it all with him. He has given me many STD’s and I have had many miscarriages due to the stress he put me through. Don’t listen to him.”

“Everybody just shut up I need to think!” I yelled.

I didn’t know who to believe anymore. Everybody I thought I could trust turned out to be liars and deceivers. I was torn between love and the truth.

Breaking my concentration, Michael said, “I say you shoot everybody except for me. I’m the only one who has some sense..”

“Michael shut your punk ass up. If you had any sense you would know that sucking another man’s dick doesn’t make you a man.” Janet said.

“You know what I told yall to stop calling me gay. I got my own little Q and A trivia for yall. What illness has 3 letter in its name and cant be cured.”

“I know damn well you aint saying what I think you’re saying!” Denasia screamed

“That’s right bitch, I have full blown AID’s and anybody who fucked Darren within the past month has it too.”

After he said that, I completely blacked out.
