Love Without Tragedy (A Princeton Story)

Chapter 17

Sharoya POV

It was him.

He looked at me and smiled.

He walked up to me, I was still there. Couldn't move not even a muscle.

??: Hey Sharoya, you looking good

Sharoya: M-Ma-Max. Wh-What are you doing in LA?

Max: You honestly didn't think you could get away from me. Did you?

Sharoya: Um, I---GCO

Max: So yeah like. Wassup baby.

Sharoya: I'm not your baby

Max: *grabs her arm* Yeah you are

Sharoya: Get the fuck off of me *slaps him and runs*

Craig POV

I put my head down as I walked out the joint. I had to get cleaned up. My head shot up when I see Sharoya and some big dude.

Sharoya: Get the fuck off me.

Then she slapped him and ran, I followed her and caught her a few blocks down. She was crying.

Craig: Sharoya. Baby.

Sharoya:*looks up and sighs* what do you want Craig?

Craig: Just to talk things out. I'm here for you baby.

Sharoya: Whatever.

Craig: Seriously Sharoya. And what was that all about?

Sharoya: What was what about?

Craig: that big dude. You slapping him. And running.

Sharoya: *looks around and sighs* Oh yeah remember when I was screaming in my sleep and you asked me what that was about?

Craig: Yeaah. Why? Is that "Max"?

Sharoya: yeah. And he is my ex, My abusive ex at that. I left him where I left him and he found me, I guess.

Craig: How could he find you? Did you tell him where you was going?

Sharoya: Why would I? I don't wanna get hurt anymore.

She slowly lifted up her pants and showed all of her scars. She showed her big purple bruise. It was so disgusting. She whiped off her make-up and it showed a bruise on her cheek. As if he punched her really hard. I tried to touch if but she jerked away.

Sharoya: Please, It still hurts!

Craig: How the fuck could he do this to you? Where the fuck is he?

Sharoya: First off, Craig I just left him I know nothing of where he is and I don't want to start any trouble! I just wanna stay away from him.

Craig:*hugs her* I'm here for you babe.

Sharoya: Thank you Craig

That's when we kissed. I'm really gonna change for her no more lying, etc.

I love this girl and I'm gonna stay with her. I drove her home and then went to my house.

When I got in my room, I called Dee, I had to straighten this shit out.

I then got in the shower, I still felt sticky. Then I went to bed.
