It All Started With You (Third Book of IASWF) *ON HOLD*

Ch. 11⚪ Unnecessary Lies

~Chapter 11: Unnecessary Lies ?~

♡Debbie's P.O.V♡

“No you didn't say that shit! Please tell me you didn't,”

“I did and I wish I could take it back,” I sat on back porch beside Tammy at my mom's house.

“Where is he?”

I shrugged slightly. “Last time I checked, he was sleep,”

We really didn't talk about last night, we kinda just went to sleep, him on the couch and me crying silently in the bedroom. This morning I woke and left the house as he was asleep.

“So you just left?” she lit the blunt she had in her hand

“What was I supposed to do? Say ‘Hey, I'm going over to my mom's house to talk to my sister about the lie I told you last night,’ is that it?”

She laughed. “Why did you even lie?”

I eyed her. “Why do people lie in the first place? I thought it was going to protect me,”

“From?”

I shook my head. “Nothing,”

“You need professional help, Miss Hollie,” Tammy stood up and put out her blunt on the porch. “What time is it?”

I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone. “9:38,”

“Momma has a doctors appointment at ten and I'm taking her, you wanna go?”

I fanned her off. “Nah, y'all go ahead, I gotta figure out how I can deal with this shit I go myself into before it gets out of hand,”

She started to walk in the house. “You and I know Drake is a hard ass-”

“And passive aggressive,”

“You should know better than anyone that this isn't something that's just gonna blow over,” then she left me.

“Ugh! I just want my loving husband back,” I ran my fingers through my red hair and down to the black tips.

What did I get myself into?

I got up and walked to the car, confused afraid of what I got myself into.

I jumped slightly as my phone rung violently in my hand. It was my Ashley.

“Diva!”

“Hey,” I tried to sound more perky than I actually was.

There was a pause.

“He said he didn't know where you had gone to,” she said with a hint of worry in her voice.

I started biting my thumbnail. “You should know better than anyone that I would be-”

“At Ma dukes house, yeah, I know. I told him you're probably just out for breakfast,”

I sighed. “Thanks,”

It was silent for a minute.

“Well?” Ashley spoke up again.

“What?”

“What am I covering up?”

I looked around. “Nothing,”

She kissed her teeth. “Debbra Pearl Graham, you better tell me now,”

“I told him I was pregnant, okay! Happy?”

“Are you?”

I looked at the phone and raised an eyebrow like she could see me. “Girl bye, I am not trying to go through that shit again,”

“I wouldn't know anything about that,” she giggled. “Why did you tell him that then?”

I inhaled sharply. “My husband thinks I fucking pop pills!”

She gasped. “No!”

“Mhm, he thinks because I take a few pills, maybe more often then I should but it's not like I have a problem. Most of the time it to help sleep from these stupid nightmare things,”

Nothing was said..

I touched the phone to see if she had hung up but she didn't.

“Hello?”

She finally spoke up. “I'm so sorry Debbie,”

Another voice spoke up. “Why didn't you tell me babygirl?”

I just froze, why was Aubrey on the line and why wasn't I made aware of it. I thought about hanging up but this was my husband, someone I use to want so deeply and now, I'm running from him? What type of marriage is that?

I decided to throw the phone out my car window.

Crazy? No. Dramatic? Maybe. Necessary? Now that I think about it, no.

I got out the car and pick up my phone out of my mom's driveway. The phone call was still going on when I put it up to my ear.

“Sorry, I dropped the phone,” I coughed slightly.

“Debbie!”

I stood there wide eyed for a moment and turned around. In the flesh, was my husband with a mix of worry and anger on his face.

Aubrey slipped his phone in his pocket and just stood there. “What happen to the girl I married?”

“I'm still here baby,” I ran up to him, trying to cup his face but he turned his head. “I don't know what made me do it but I'll won't-”

“Stop,”

I looked in his eyes, they were cold. “Don't be mad,”

He stared down at me. “Stop,” then he walked back to his car, leaving me in my mom's front yard.

Aye!

It's been a minute since I updated, right?

Work lately has been kicking my ass! I really need to try and write around the first part of the week because if I try and write, like, after work or something, my hands hurt like hell from washing the damn dishes.

And I had a little bit of writer's block but I think I'm past that for now.

I appreciate all the comments and votes on the first two books and my others, it is, and probably always will be, overwhelming to see that sort of thing.

Love, love, love you guys!!!! If you write books, let me know because I need new stuff to read, most of the books I had in my library are over.. (╥﹏╥)

Oh and please, if you want, read my new-ish book “A Boss's Love Affair”

Stay fabulous! ♡
