Chapter 8

YOUR P.O.V.

It wasn’t just my thoughts that kept me up all night. I was feeling so, so sick and had to throw up.. so many times. Was it that dinner me and Andre had? I went back to bed feeling like shit and woke up with a horrible headache..

Y/N- *rubs her eyes and groans*

Andre- *walks in with a tray* Look what I got you..

Y/N- *squints at it* Pancakes and tea?

Andre- And some painkillers *puts it on the bed*

Y/N- *looks up at him* How did you know?

Andre- *sits beside you* I heard you get up and throw up last night babe, that sounded awful

Y/N- *covers her face* I’m so sorry

Andre- *moves your hands and kisses your cheek* It’s fine. I got you covered, and instead of the subway, I’ll take you to class today, aite?

Y/N- *smiles* Thank you

Andre- *pats your leg and stands up* Eat up. You got half an hour till you have to get in the shower and leave *leaves*

Y/N- *eats the pancakes*

*later that day*

Mom- *sighs* I miss you. I want you to come home

Y/N- Mom…

Mom- Y/N, you’re 18. No teenager your age gets married to a guy she’s known for not even a year and moves into his home

Y/N- I love him, mom

Mom- You barely see your family. We live a couple blocks away baby

Y/N- *blinks away tears* I’m sorry mom.. I’ve just been so busy and everything’s been overwhelming, I promise I’ll come over and see you guys soon

Mom- *shakes her head a little* Y/N, we know what he’s like. I know what happens when you’re both alone. 

Y/N- That doesn’t happen anymore

Mom- You swear?

Y/N- I swear it doesn’t happen. He’s changed

Mom- And he’ll change right back like he did millions of times before. 

Y/N- *shakes head* You don’t know. *pushes her late away* *holds her stomach*

Mom- *looks at you weird* You okay?

Y/N- *nods a little* *stands up and runs to the bathroom*

*later on*

DIGGY’S P.O.V.

Diggy- I always said this is why I don’t eat a lotta prawns *hands you a hot water bottle*

Y/N- Shut up *takes it and put it on your stomach*

Mom- Thank you so much for being here Diggy

Diggy- It’s no problem, Mrs..

Mom- Just call me mom

Y/N- *raises her eyebrows*

Diggy- *chuckles a little* Alright, mom *smiles*

Mom- *pats his back* *winks at you and leaves*

Y/N- *rolls her eyes*

Diggy- So, how’s food poisoning treating you?

Y/N- *chuckles a little* Fuck off

Diggy- *laughs to himself* Your mom likes me

Y/N- I gathered that, she thinks you’re so much better than my husband. Well-mannered, you’re caring, funny and *mimics her mom* you know where you’re going in life *shakes her head*

Diggy- *blinks twice* Why did you call me instead of him?

Y/N- *sighs* He wasn’t answering his phone when I was at the emergency room. You should probably go before he gets back. He wouldn’t like *motions at you both* this.

Diggy- *nods* *grabs his stuff*

Y/N- *tries to get out of bed* *knocks over her water and pills* Oh shit.. *tries to pick them up*

Diggy- *sees you struggling and shakes his head* This is why I’m staying here till he gets back *puts his bag down* *picks up the stuff and helps you back into bed*

Y/N- *smiles a little* Thanks

*that evening*

ANDRE’S P.O.V.

Andre- *closes the door* *sees men’s shoes by the door* Those aren’t mine *walks upstairs* *walks in the bedroom*

Diggy- *sits on the bed next to you texting*

Andre- *grabs him* Who the fuck are you?!

Diggy- Woah man, chill!

Andre- The fuck are you doing in here with my wife?!

Y/N- *wakes up a little* Andre get the fuck off him! Now!

Andre- *lets go of Diggy* *looks at you* You got some explaining to do

Y/N- *coughs and sits up in bed* I got food poisoning last night and threw up at the restaurant today and Diggy took me home cause you weren’t picking up. He said he’d stay till you get back *coughs again*

Andre- *glances at Diggy* Oh

Diggy- *brushes his clothes off* I’ll leave.. *walks over and hugs you* Get well soon *leaves*

Andre- *watches him leave*

Y/N- *runs to the bathroom* *throws up*

Andre- *waits for you to come back in the room*

Y/N- *looks at him* You’re dumb for thinking that was anything more than what it is *gets in bed*

Andre- *glares at you* Who said I thought that?

Y/N- *lays back in bed* *pulls the covers over*

*a few days later*

YOUR P.O.V.

Y/N- *takes the flowers* Thank you…

Man- It’s no problem

Y/N- *closes the door* *sighs*

Mia- *looks at you* That’s the fourth bunch

Y/N- I know. It’s so weird

Mia- *takes the card* "Hope you get better soon and you’re recovering well… I had to send you more because the beauty of one bunch of flowers doesn’t compare to the beauty I see in you. From Jermaine" *looks at you*

Y/N- Don’t get me started. It’s nothing, he’s nothing. he just cares *puts the flowers in a vase*

Mia- *rolls her eyes* Sure

*later on*

Andre- *comes in the house* *sees flowers everywhere* *sees you in the kitchen* Who are all these flowers from?

Y/N- *shrugs* Well-wishers..

Andre- *raises his eyebrows* *takes a card* From Jermaine? Who the fuck is Jermaine?

Y/N- *puts knives away* He’s a friend babe

Andre- Don’t babe me when you’ve got all this shit going on in my face. First some guy comes in here threatening me, then that nigga’s up in the house that I paid for and now some other dude sending you flowers?

Y/N- *shakes her head* Babe, what the hell? It’s all nothing. It’s not like that.

Andre- *gets in your face* So what’s it like then?!

Y/N- *holds the knife up to him* Stay away, don’t be like this Andre…

Andre- *chuckles* You’re too scared to use that, you know it

Y/N- *points at him* *hand shakes* Just.. stop!

Andre- *walks up to you*

Y/N- *whimpers a little* Andre, please.. *backs away*

Andre- *wrestles with you* *tries to grab the knife*

Y/N- *screams* Get off me!

Andre- *hits you* *holds the knife to your neck* Don’t go disrespecting me in this house. It’s my house. I can throw you out as easily as I took you in

Y/N- *elbows him in the stomach* Get off me!

Andre- *drops the knife* *slaps you*

Y/N- *holds her face and cries* *gasps and looks at him* I thought you changed.

Andre- *pushes you into the wall and hits you* Don’t fuck me around *hits you again*

*an hour later*

Andre- *slams the door and leaves*

Y/N- *on the phone* I have to leave him. I have to

Diggy- Come to mine as soon as possible, I’m on my way home. I won’t be there yet but just come. I’ll take you out and make you feel better. Just put on something nice, get ready, bring some clothes and come over

Y/N- Okay.. *hangs up* *sniffles and puts make up over the bruises*

*that night*

Y/N- *pulls up to Diggy’s house* *gets out and walks to the door* *rings the bell*

Jermaine- *opens the door* *holds his towel around his waist* *sees you in make up and a dress* *raises his eyebrow* Diggy isn’t here.

Y/N- *sniffles* I know he’s not, he said to come anyway

Jermaine- *looks at you confused* *neck and sees a bruise* *turns your head* Has Andre been..? *looks at you*

Y/N- *looks down* *wipes a tear and nods a little*

Jermaine- *pulls you in for a hug*

Y/N- *sobs in his shirt* I thought he changed…

Jermaine- Shh… let it out. You deserve better than this. You’re better than this.. *lifts your chin* I know it.

Y/N- *looks in his eyes*

Jermaine- *licks his lips* *takes your hand* *pulls you in the house*
