“What’s up?” Camille asked with a worried voice. When I walked into the apartment I wasted no time telling her what I’d just found out and what I already knew.
“I found out why he been acting funny disappearing and shit,” I said while crying.
“What’s up?”
“He got your cousin living in a house he owns.”
“What!!!”
“She has a baby too, named Kassandra,” I said crying even harder.
“That's impossible, she can't even have kids!”
“Obviously she can!” I snapped.
“Calm down, Kasan wouldn't do that to you.”
“The bitch shot me and I didn't say shit trying to forgive her and then I find this out!”
“What you mean she shot you?”
“She the one that shot me Camille damn! I knew since I woke up but I didn't want her killed.”
“Imma kill that bitch myself!”
“Calm down Cam, I'm over that shit.”
“Naw fuck that she killed your fucking baby!”
“What?? What baby?” I asked confused.
“Ummmm… well we all thought you didn't need to know.”
“Know what Camille?”
“You were pregnant when you got shot,” she replied as tears fell from her eyes.
“I was pregnant?” I repeated in shock.
“I'm so sorry Shante,” she said reaching to hug me.
“Don't you fucking touch me. You supposed to be my friend, how could you keep this from me!”
“We thought you wouldn't be able to take it.”
“Who the fuck are y’all to decide some shit like that for me!” I snapped. Grabbing my car keys, I rushed out the door. When I pulled up to the house I shared with Kasan I was so upset my whole body was trembling. Walking into the house, Kasan wasted no time questioning me.
“Dinner was good as fuck, but where you been?” he asked. I was so pissed and hurt I couldn't even answer.
“Shante!” he screamed.
“How could you?” I whispered.
“What happened?” he asked confused.
“That bitch killed my baby, I had a baby!” I screamed slapping the shit out of him. For a minute he looked too shocked to speak, but I knocked his ass back into reality. Grabbing my arms, he tried to stop me from swinging but I was going crazy delivering blow after blow.
“I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry!” he said trying to hug me.
“Get the fuck off me, even after what she did you got that bitch living in a house you own?”
“She was pregnant, what did you expect me to do?”
“I expected you to have my back and not keep some shit like that from me!”
“I fucked up, I'm sorry!”
“I want that bitch dead!”
“She has a baby Shante!”
“I would never say fuck that baby, but fuck her, I’ll raise that baby before I let her live!”
“That baby deserves her mother!” he said pissing me off.
“Oh and I didn't deserve my baby!”
“I didn't say that!”
“So what the fuck you saying, you love your child with her more than you loved ours?” I screamed as tears fell from my eyes.
“Tae baby, she not even my child, I had a DNA test done.”
“Oh but her name Kassandra, I fucking hate your guts!”
“Think this through.”
“I thought me and you would be together forever, I thought you loved me just as hard as I love you, but now I know that was a lie. If you loved me and our child we would have come first, you would have done what was necessary to make her pay for what she did to our baby,” I said staring at him with disgust.
“You're asking me to kill someone that at one time I loved, someone I care about who just made a mistake,” he had the nerve to say.
“Fuck you nigga and fuck that bitch, if you ain't gonna do it my dad will!” I said running out the house. As I sped down the street tears blurred my vision. I was so heartbroken, I felt so betrayed. When I first met Kasan, I was an innocent, loving and caring person. It’s so crazy how love and pain can turn you into a person you don't even recognize. I had murder on my mind, I wasn't gonna rest until that bitch paid for what she did.
