SECRETS CH.7

Chapter 7

Janet

I got tired of depending on my informant for information, so I decided to find out what the hell was going on myself. I dropped the twins off at my mother’s house and caught the earliest flight to Houston. When the plane touched down in Houston, I started to get nervous. I had everything mapped out, but I was beginning to think that I couldn’t go through with it. Then, I started thinking about all the times I sat at home and cried knowing that my husband was out with another woman and immediately became enraged. I waved down a cab and gave the driver Darren’s address. It was time for Darren to get what was coming to him.

Renee

When I got home, my mama still wasn’t home, so I called her cell phone and got no answer. I then called Michael to see if he had my money and he didn’t answer. I called the hospital to see if Denasia was still there and just as I suspected the lady said that she had signed out as soon as I left. Something wasn’t right. Nobody was answering their cell phones and I had a feeling that something was wrong. Just as I was about to walk out the door to go find out what was going on, my cell phone started ringing. Thinking it was my mother calling me back I answered without looking at the caller ID.

“Hey, ma!”

“Gal, this is not your mother. This is Ms. Sally. Have you talked to your mother yet?”

“No. I haven’t seen her since you told her about Darren and me.”

“Well have you at least made up your mind about having the baby?”

“Yeah I have.”

“Well…”

“I’m not getting pregnant. I think-”

“I don’t give a damn about what you think. You are fucking up my plans and I won’t tolerate it.”

“Sally-” Before I could say anything else, she hung up in my face. She was way too passionate about bringing Darren down. She was hiding something and I wanted to know what it was. I knew she wasn’t going to come right out and tell me so I figured I would have to do some snooping. I called my friend Erica for backup. It was 5 o’clock in the morning, but I knew she would be down.

Ms. Sally

I knew I shouldn’t have got involved with that young ass girl. She was making shit way more complicated than they had to be. Now I have to get rid her. Damn I kind of liked the girl, but I had to do what needed to be done. She had to go because if she wouldn’t cooperate then she couldn’t be on my team and she knows way too much for me to just let her live. I used all the acid and duct tape on my late husband, so I had to go get some from the store.  After this, I’m going to work solo. Killing people can be so tiresome.

Denasia

I had my friend drop me off at Darren’s house. Darren’s door was wide open and Michael and my mother’s car in the driveway. I started wondering what the hell was going on. I knew standing outside wasn’t going to get me any answers, so I walked in. I saw candles everywhere and heard music coming from upstairs. I walked up the stairs preparing myself for whatever was about to come, but nothing could prepare me for what I saw when I reached the bedroom.

“What the hell!”

Beverly

Noticing that I was standing in the doorway, Darren and Michael jumped up and hurried to put on their clothes. I wanted to scream or through something at them, but my brain wasn’t functioning. Darren’s mouth was moving but I couldn’t hear anything he saying. I immediately snapped out of my trance and started cussing Darren’s ass out.

“You nasty bastard! I came here to confront your ass about sleeping with my daughter but instead I find your faggot ass in here fucking my other daughter’s boyfriend! You are fucking sick!”

Michael then had the audacity to open his mouth. “Ms. Beverly its not what it looks like.”

“Why is it that whenever a man gets caught cheating that’s the first thing out of his mouth? You’re gonna have to come with something better than that because even a blind man can see what is going on here.”

Darren finally opened his mouth to say something. “Beverly baby -” I knew he was getting ready to lie so I cut him off.

“I don’t want to hear whatever you were about to say. Just answer this one question. How long have you been fucking this little boy?”

“Babe-”

“And before you lie let me say that I’m already pissed about you fucking my daughter, so lying to me will just add fuel to the fire.”

“Well-”

“What the hell!”

I turned around to see who had walked in and it was Denasia.

“Denasia what the hell are you doing here?!”

“Umm-I came here looking for you.”

“How did you know I was here?”

“Uh-”

Darren then spoke up. “Denasia its time to stop lying to her and tell her the truth.”

“Tell me the truth about what?”

“Beverly I made the biggest mistake in my life and slept with not only Renee, but Denasia also and now Denasia is pregnant with my baby.”

“What!” Both me and Michael screamed at the same time.

Michael looked at Denasia with disgust in his eyes and said, “How could you? I thought you was saving yourself until you got married.”

Denasia returned Michael’s glare and said, “Yeah and I thought you liked girls, so I guess we both lied.”

“You bitch.” With that said Michael lunged at Denasia knocking her down to the floor. He started punching her in the face and Darren ran over to them to stop Michael. Darren held Michael back as Denasia picked herself up from the floor. Her face was badly bruised. Her eye was already beginning to swell and blood was gushing from her nose. Everybody was screaming at each other but I couldn’t understand anything they were saying. I was consumed with my own thoughts. How could both of my daughters betray me like this ? Was I not a good mother? What did I do to deserve this? And then the sound of gunshots interrupted my thoughts.
