🖤Ch.11 :The Bitter Ex

EBONY

"Oh my God, I swear if I could I would be in Chicago right now, chasing this hoe around the whole city to beat her ass ! The fuck is wrong with people ? She could have hit you on the wrong spot and got you paralyzed or worse, DEAD ! Oh, hell naw ! This bitch is dying when I'm coming in town ! Fuck she thought it was ? It ain't a fucking game ! Oh my God ! I don't want to hate anyone, but I hate her ! "

Ebony pulled the phone away from her ear when Kat started screaming out in anger on the other end of the line. "Damn..." she commented to herself, a bit surprised. She knew her best friend was going to be mad, but not this pissed off to the point where she needed to scream out loud like that. It was warming her heart though to know that she meant so much to her.

Once the scream died down, she put the phone back against her ear. "How do you feel ? And what Chresanto was doing when it was happening ? Are you pressing charges ? "

"I'm good. I was feeling a bit dizzy for the past two days, but I feel much better today. The doctor said that if she hit me closer and stronger, it could have turned worse. Those little gold balls can be very dangerous, mainly when you're hit on the head with this. And Chresanto was by my side. He was pretty upset when we got to the hospital, he wanted to beat her ass too. He's been calling me every day to check on me. And I'm not too sure. I feel like it's only gonna bring more unnecessary drama into my life. I don't know...I feel lazy to do that, " she explained with a shrug.

To her, she felt that by pressing charges it was only going to drag out the situation and make them run in an endless negative circle. And what if this girl got out of it innocently ? Ebony didn't want to waste time and money for nothing. 

"I can understand...I guess," she commented, not really in the mood to argue, even though she had so much to say right now. "But uh, he's a good guy and I'm glad that you're feeling better. You told your family what happened ? I didn't see your mom on the news yet."

"Ha, ha, ha. No, I didn't tell them yet. And it's exactly for this reason. I don't need them to attempt or actually commit a murder." 

On Saturday, Ebony just sent a message to her sister to let her know that she wouldn't be able to go gift shopping with her because she had a last-minute impediment. She didn't explain herself further and was thankful that Paris didn't ask her more questions.

Since then, Eb had kind of been avoiding her family because she knew that they would notice immediately that something was wrong with her, and she knew that she wouldn't have any other choice but to tell them the truth. They wouldn't leave her alone without that, and she didn't want her closest family members to ruin their lives for a scum.

"But this bitch really deserves some type of torture. We would just need five minutes."

"Kat...stop this, right now. Anyways, let's talk about you. How is Italia ? "

"Fantastic ! I have nothing to complain about, except not being able to be a real tourist, you know. I'm working every day and can't enjoy the whole scenery as I would really like to. But it's okay, I will come back later. Oh, how about we make it a girls' trip ? "

Ebony couldn't help but smile. "I'm with you on that ! Where would we go though ? Venice ? Rome ? Or more in the south side ? "

"What about a tour ? We go a bit everywhere and live that Italian life fully."

"Yes ! I like how you think, sista."

"I know. Talk to your sisters about this, so we can see when we can make it happen. I'm so excited ! " she squealed, causing Eb to laugh lightly.
