What can I do?
Where could I go? I had no one to run to. I couldnt stay here, and intrude on Frank & Jamia's wife. I cant go back to my family, that is certain. " I told you so" is the only sympathy I would receive.
I sighed, tears building on my eyelids.
I know. I can move out to California for a while, get out of here. I can find....
"Christine?" I heard Jamia whisper, bringing me from my thoughts. "Baby, you awake?" I heard the door creak open. I slipped from the covers, leaning against the headboard. Jamia handed me some tea along wit a tissue. "How are you doing?" She looked at me, her eyes full of sympathy. I couldnt really explain how I felt, and all she did was view my face. And she knew exactly. She pulled me into a hug, soothing my sorrow. Jamia suggested I try and talking things over with Gerard. But how could I, I dont think I could even be near him.
After a few moments, I sucked up my emotion & made a decision. "Jamia, can you go with me later to pack my stuff?"
"Yeah. I'll set this room up for you, and better--"
"No, Jamia." I cut her off, getting to my feet. "I'm leaving here. I cant stay." I said shaking my head in denial.
"Christine, you can't just get up and leave. You love him to much and have to try and work it out." She pleated, becoming eye level with me.
"I can do what I want Jamia. I'm my own person and I'll do what I want!" I stormed out of the room, heading to the door. "Tell Gerard, I'll be there tomorrow to get my stuff around 7PM. and he better notbe there!" I slammed the front door, heading to my car.
Gerard's POV
"Jamia, what was that?" Frank rushed in from the kitchen.
"Chrissy is going to Cali tomorrow night. I tried stopping her to stay here, but she just stormed out." I sighed, trying to think of some plan.
"I'm going to call him right now." Frank picked up the phone, and dialed Gerard's number.
Gerard soon came over, and I almost couldnt greet him at the door. His face was distressed, haunted. I left him and Frank alone, as from my room I could hear them working. Tears, heartache and passion came from that living room, doing what they did best.
