How Can Loving You Be So Wrong Pt 8

Kara

 

“Hey baby is that you, you have to come watch this show. Dr Phil is putting these dump broads in check”. (Whap – bedroom door slams). Kara sat quiet for a minute in shock that Craig had come into their home and had not said a word slamming doors. And if she took anything from her mothers teachings she knew never to go to bed upset. Even though she wanted to see what was wrong with her husband she didn’t want to mess the next person coming on the show and decided she would talk to him after it went off.

 

-         Now ya’ll my next guess has a story that some of you may not believe but we are going to try and help her. Please meet Carolyn; she is here to figure out what drives her issue. Carolyn why don’t you tell us your story about your Violent husband.

-         Thanks Dr. Phil, well again my name is Carolyn and my story is I have been married for three years and I have a very jealous husband. He started beating me about 2 years ago and he does it quite a bit. When he first started to beat me I hated him for it but now when he doesn’t beat me I don’t feel he loves me. I love it when he attacks and insults me and hurts me. Am I abnormal? I even arguments so he can hit me.

 

Kara couldn’t believe what this woman just said, was she serious is all she could think. So upset that they even let someone this stupid come on the show she turned the TV off and made her way to the bedroom to see what was upsetting Craig. As she opened the door she could hear him ending a conversation on the phone. “Who was that baby why are you so mad, did Juan say something stupid tonight”. Craig didn’t say a word and walked into the closet and shut the door.

 

“Excuse me! Did you just walk in the closet on me”? “Oh no he didn’t I don’t play that shit in my house”. Kara was now very upset and decided she was going to confront this demand that had walked into her bedroom and that was what it was going to be. She opened the door and Craig was just standing there with his hand over his head staring out of the small window in the closet. Kara started to say something but Craig turned just before she could.

 

-         “Woman what you want I’m thinking damit”. Cant a brotha get a little privacy in his own house these days damit

-         Craig what the hell is wrong with you tonight. Talk to me baby I don’t want to see you upset, are you mad at me?

-         There you go always making about you. Woman this shit aint got nothing to do with you. I got other shit on my mind damit. Just go to bed before….

-         Before what Craig? What you going to do, this is my house as well and I can be in whatever area I please. If you don’t like it get the hell out of my…..

-         Whap! Whap! Whap! Didn’t I tell you shut up. I don’t have time for your bullshit tonight woman. Get your ass up and get in the bed like I said.

Kara sat on the floor in a daze. Did he just put his hands on her? Was she bleeding? Who the hell was this man? Well whoever he was he forgot where she was from and all she could see is red. It was going to be a Ike and Tina limo scene in this bitch tonight.

 

-         Pop! Pop! Motherfucker who you hitting. “That shit aint going down in this house”.

 

Kara kept swing her stiletto at Craig’s head trying to get him to fall. Craig so enraged grabbed Kara by the neck and flung her onto the bed. He jumped on top of her pinning her down that she feared he would take her life with the look he had in his eye. His hand swung back and everything went dark.

 

 

Juan

 

Man what have I gotten myself into? I love this woman, but now I’ve made things more crazy by giving that man my number. (knock - knock) Come in.

 

-         Juan we need to talk something has happened

-         Ok I’m all ears

 

Shorty walked sat down at the desk looking like she had been crying for days. “What’s wrong are you okay, someone hurt you”. I started to hand her a tissue and she laid it all out for me. Well its like this Me and my boyfriend have been together for quite some time now. He cheated on me last year, and even though I said that I have forgiven him I could never forget. Last month I decided to get back at him I ended up having unprotected sex with a co-worker. And not I’m Pregnant & Terrified and don’t know what to do. As I sat there listening to her talk and talk I could feel my world come crashing down. Was she speaking about me? Had she been fucking someone else in the company? How was I going to break this down to Nicole? What would Nana think? It was like I was in a daze. Shorty’s mouth stopped moving and I came to. So may I ask who the father is?

 

-         “Knock - Knock” can I interrupt please.

 

Kara’s head peed around the door. Shorty stood up and said we can finish this conversation later boss. Thanks for listening. Kara held her head down and was pretty wrapped up. I told her to have a seat and shed some of them layers it was almost 80 degrees outside. She started crying so I got up and walked around my desk.

 

-         What’s wrong Kara, are you okay?

-         I don’t know what happen last night Juan but something aint right with your friend. He is not the same person I married

-         What do you mean Kara, take off that hat and shades and talk to me.

As Kara started to unwrap all the clothes she had covered up with I could see the bruises on her neck, her lip was slightly swollen, both her eyes were bruised and she had a long cut on her right cheek.

 

-         What the fuck did he do to you? Did Craig do this to you?

-         Yes but don’t get angry. I just need to know what happen yesterday because that is what caused him to snap

-         Snap, I’m going to kill that motherfucker. Kara I don’t associate with punks who hit women.

 

I could see Kara was happy to hear me say that because she cracked a smile which quickly turned into tears. I knew in my head I had to handle this but what was I really suppose to do. If I confront Craig and tell Kara everything I knew he would run to Nicole and tell her everything; he was just one of those types of folk. I held Kara in my arms and pushed speed dial number 2 on my phone.

 

-         Hello.

-         Hey baby I need you to get over to my office right way. Its an emergency Kara will be here waiting in my office.

-         What you mean Kara will be waiting, what happen, what’s going on speak to me Juan.

-         Just get her asap. I’ll meet you at your place a little latta.

 

I kissed Kara on the head and told her Nicole was on her way to come get her. I grabbed her keys and said I’ll bring your car to Nicole’s house latter.

 

As I walked out the front I told shorty to forward all my calls to voice mail. An important meeting just came up and I would be back shortly. If my friend in my office asks for anything please get it for her. And with that I was out the door. I jumped into Kara’s car and peeled off. I knew something big was about to go down I just didn’t know what would be the outcome. As I got close to the house I noticed the car was gone. I sat for a minute in front thinking he may return but then realized it was revival week and he was at church so I headed that way. As I drove I got a text from Nicole (FUCK HIM UP BABY) and I knew she was not playing. Kara and Nicole were like sisters and I could tell my baby wanted revenge. I pulled into the church parking lot and I saw Craig talking to someone. As I parked and jumped out the car with my sleeves rolled up I could see the fear in his eyes as he told the member to go inside.
