Loved In The Wrong Way

Chapter 2

"Be honest with me, baby." He backed away from me and leaned against the wall. "Why you stay with me if all I do is love you in the wrong way? You ain't never thought about leaving me and finding someone better?"

..........Oh shit! What the hell do I say? Do I tell a lie or do I tell the truth? They always say the truth will set you free but in my case, that's a damn lie. The truth will get yo ass beat!

I slowly moved closer to him, trying to ignore my pain and I placed my hands on his shoulders. I kissed him.

"Jay, I love you and I understand that love hurts."

"It shouldn't have to hurt like this. I make it hurt. I hurt you." He looked the other way.

"Don't beat yourself up about it, okay?"

"Okay." I smiled "But you still ain't answer my question."

"What question?" I played dumb

"The fucking question I asked you." He yelled, which made me jump. "Have you ever thought about leaving me?"

"Do you want the truth?" I dropped my head but my hands were still on his shoulders.

"Yeah."

I took a deep breath. "No. I've never thought about leaving you."

He lifted my head. He searched my eyes for signs of lying. I know he can find some cause he can always tell when I'm lying.

"Why you lying to me? You wanted to leave me?"

I nodded because I didn't wanna say anything. Whenever he's mad, he doesn't like it when I talk.

I backed away from him cause he started to ball his fist up.

"You don't have to be scared of me. Just leave, since you wanted to go." He yelled and then he walked out of the bathroom. I followed him and he started packing my bags. He pushed me on the bed. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. "You wanna leave me? After everything I've done for you? You wanna leave like everybody else?" He yelled, I shook my head no. "Use yo damn words."

"No. No. I don't wanna leave."

"So you gon' lie right to my face?"

"No. I'm not lying. I love you."

"No, no you don't! You don't have to lie, baby." He chuckled.

"No, I do. I-I'll prove it." I said while looking into his eyes. "Can you lay down, please?"

I woke up in bed alone wearing Jordan's shirt. I sighed as I got out of bed. I brushed my teeth. I took a shower and tried not to think about everything that happened earlier. Once I stepped out the shower, I dried off, put on some lotion, and threw on some clothes.

I walked downstairs and Jordan was on the couch. He had his hands on the back of his neck and then he sighed. He rubbed his hands together and then looked over at me. He smiled and I gave him a weak smile back.

He grabbed my hand and lead me outside with his hands covering my eyes.

"I hope you like it." He whispered in my ear before removing his hands. I looked up to see......
