Silence
It was a dead silence that washed upon the room.
Everyone was looking at Honesty waiting for a reaction. Honesty has become family to all of them in the room. So this was hard for all of them to witness. Ken's Aunty took sleeping KJ and as soon as he left Ken's hands Honesty punched him dead in the mouth.
His uncles and everybody stood trying to break them up as she sobbed.
"I hate you. Why should you do that to me? I took care of you, your child, I made sure you were straight always. And this is how you do me ken" she yelled as she cried
His world was crumbling down in front of him and there was nothing he could say to fix this. He tucked his bleeding lip in his mouth and watched as Honesty ran out of the house
She got in the car and zoomed off, and there is nothing he could do. He did not move. He stayed there on full display for everyone to silently judge him.
Honesty is gone. The woman who he loved, the woman who he wants to spend her life with was gone. He felt lost.
Kim didn't know what would happen after she gave the news but nothing could co mpare to what's going on. She knew that it would hurt honesty, but she did not expect it to hurt Ken like it did. She had not seen this much emotion from him in so long. His eyes filled up with tears, it looked as if life was sucked out of him. When she looked at him she saw the small hurt little boy her brother brought to her all those years before
She instantly felt bad and knew that she went too far with her antics
She slowly walked towards Ken. His stone-cold watery eyes would stop anyone in their tracks.
"My son," he said slowly not even looking at her
Kim ran to the kids' room to get sleeping KJ.
She came back down and gave him to Ken. Ken looked up at Kim and then at Tasia.
He stormed out of the house as everyone watched
He zoomed off and as soon as he pulled up to his house, he released everything. He held kJ to his chest and cried. He ain't cried since he was in the car with Honesty all those years ago. He closed his eyes and breathed. All he could see was Honesty. Her smile, her laugh, her voice. He opened his eyes hoping that all of this was a bad dream.
It wasn't
Ken made it in the house, and put kJ in his bed. Ken called Honesty 85 times leaving 75 voicemails. All being unanswered. Unheard
Honesty was across town in her apartment heartbroken. She has no more tears to cry. The pain was all she felt. She felt empty. Her mind raced with questions. Why did this happen to her? It's like everyone was out to hurt her. She was trying to understand why her. Why was her life a shit show. She gets a little happiness, and she receives a tidal wave of hirt
1 month later
It's been a months since the dinner and not much has changed for Ken. He was a shell of his old self. He didn't go out or even answer his phone for anyone. He tries to act happy in front of KJ but he is dying inside. He isn't sleeping through the night, he's eating enough to not die. He's even losing weight. Ken hurts, even more, when kJ asks about Honesty and when she's coming back.
Honesty isn't doing too much better. She was neglecting herself, just as he was. Which resulted in the mistake of 1 child. She never knew that she was two but now, it is one. After she got out of the hospital she decided that it was time to get her shit together. Not only for her but her kids. Not only the one that she was carrying but for Kj also. kJ, the thought of him made her want to cry again. This is the longest that she has been away from him since they met, and honestly, it is tearing her apart, and she can't take it anymore.
Honesty point of View
I've been alone for a whole month, trying to find myself. Ive been through hell and back this month, and this is the longest I've been away from King. But i had to get myself together before i could see him. i finally decided to call Ken
Phone convo
Honesty?
Yea it's me
Is it really you?
Yea it is, how are you?
I'm good how is the baby
How did you know about that?
I found the test in the drawer
Listen I want to see Kj. Could I come to get him?
Ummm yeah.of course Honesty
Phone convo over
I got dressed and headed over to his house. When I went to the door before I could even knock the door opened and kJ jumped onto me hugging me for dear life
" I've missed my baby. Let's get you ready to go" I said hugging him letting a few tears slip
"I'm glad you're finally back. You've been gone for sooooooo long" he exaggerated as I shut the door.
A strong foul smell hit me and I almost grew up
"Omg baby what's that smell," I asked quickly covering my nose and running to open the door
"Its not me. Gotta be daddy...... or you. " he shrugged and side eyed me
" be nice to your daddy King for real. And you know damn well it ain't me. Go upstairs and tell him to shower before he comes down"
I had only been gone for a month and this house turned into a dump. I sigh and starts cleaning up downstairs with KJs help
15 minutes later Ken comes down and stops in his tracks when he sees me. He comes close to me and drops to his knees and starts hugging me as he cries, luckily kJ was upstairs in his room
"Ken get up" I sigh trying to keep myself together.
He did not move he just held me tighter and rubbed my stomach
I sigh and sit back on the couch and continue rubbing his hair. We stayed like this until he eventually fell asleep in this position
Kj came down laid down next to us on the couch.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss this. But I would be a fool to just take him back after what he did to me. To us.
