Chapitre 4
KISS🖤
He presses the knife on my thigh and slides it gently.
- aaaaah Aaron stop !!
I start to cry but he gets on top of me by blocking my hands, he puts a hand on my mouth and he presses harder and harder so that it is deep.
I was screaming in pain, it's unbearable, it really hurts too much.
Aaron-it's okay you can brush your teeth.
He leaves the room leaving me there, I bleed a lot on the other hand.
I crawl to the bathroom and try to sit on the tub.
- Aaron!
....
-AARON!
The door opens but it's Wesley who enters.
Wesley- how did you do it ?!
- I fell
Is Wesley or disinfect him?
- second drawer has everything
[...]
6 a.m.
I get up with difficulty limping and I go to wash myself, paying attention to my injury.
I blow dry, straighten my hair and put on makeup.
I will then feed my baby.
- hi baby, are you okay?
She laughs and puts her little hand on my chest.
- aaaah brooouuuuuu (baby noise), hello baby.
She continues to laugh and I feed her.
She does not fall asleep long after eating and I go to put on my uniform.
I put a big jacket on my daughter because she is sick my little baby.
I leave my house, I tie up Maei '(Maleisha) and I get in the car.
I admit that my thigh hurts a lot, but hey, I have no choice but to go to work.
I drop my baby off at the nanny and go see Liam.
Liam- good?
- good and you ?
Liam- well, why are you limping?
- I fell
Liam- another lie?
- Now is not the time, are we still on the murder of Anais?
Liam- yes ... we checked the last calls, a private number called him every night at 10:30 p.m. sharp and they were left 2 minutes 50 each time
- to make sure the police can't locate him ...
Liam- he's a professional ...
- and neighboring level?
Liam- I have all the addresses, the others we went to see 4 people have to go see the others
- it's the thing that I like the least
Liam- me too
We get in the car and go to see the first person on the list.
...
She- Anais was a very nice person ... she often helped me
What is Liam helping you?
She - she babysat my kids, ran errands for me, often took me to the store and to work. You know I lost my husband 8 months ago, I don't have a license, I have a job that hardly helps me and I have to raise 4 children ...
- I am sorry...
Liam- I'm sorry but I have to ask you this question, where were you on the evening of March 22-23?
- I was at work, as I told you I can barely manage so I also have to work at night. I already told the police station, Anais brought me back to work at 8 p.m. and I haven't seen him since. The babysitter can confirm that I was not at home.
- well thank you, we have no more questions for you
Liam- if we need you we will call you back
- all our condolences and have a nice day
We leave her house and I look at Liam.
- do you believe her?
Liam- absolutely not and you?
- me neither
Liam- we have the babysitter's number, address and workplace address, we're going.
- we can go now but tomorrow if
Liam- why?
- Her workplace is closed today, and the babysitter is not responding
Liam- did you try to call him?
- Yes
Liam- you go fast
- we do not have any choice
We get in the car and Liam drives off.
Liam- are you going to tell me about your forehead and your thigh?
- I already told you everything
Liam- but m-
- So with your girlfriend?
Liam- it's okay ... it's been 2 years now
- you're getting old eeeh, when are you planning to marry her?
Liam- I'm waiting a bit, I want to be really sure. It's no use going too fast and seeing after a few months of marriage that it was not the right person for me
Who are you saying that to...
- you're right, the day you're really sure of your choice, you jump at the chance
Liam- mmmh, where are we going?
- in 5 minutes we are in pose, we pass the McDonald's we take a little something?
Liam- go
We take a short walk to McDo and we settle down.
Of course we had the right to insults when we arrived, which I absolutely understand.
What is happening right now is nonsense.
No one has the right to feel bad or to be killed by their skin color on the contrary.
People of color should be proud to wear it and they have the right to fight for peace at last.
I know everyone puts the police in the same bag. I'm not like that, I also hate the police who do that.
I have been doing this job for years and I have never abused my power because after my working hours I take off my uniform and become like you.
To tell the truth even with my uniform I am like you, we are all equal, regardless of skin color, origins, financial situation etc we are all the same, I have a heart like you, I have a soul like you i was born like you and i am going to die too so why should i put people of color aside.
Why do whites put blacks aside? While the blacks do not put aside the whites.
I am a police officer and I do not accept the fact that some colleagues abuse power, I am sad because all the people insult me, throw stones at me etc but I can understand.
On the day of the demonstration I demonstrated with them despite the fact that I am a police officer.
No one deserves this death ... especially not innocent teenagers who only ask to live their lives peacefully, to walk the streets without being arrested and searched. They should be able to smile as much as white people and live as easily.
But what do you want, as long as the whites are with the people of color, people will not be able to separate us.
Liam- are you okay?
- Yes Yes
Liam- you bleed
Someone threw a stone in my face.
- it's nothing, don't worry
Liam- you saw the story in France with Aïssa Traoré
- she's right
Liam- I would have been in France to demonstrate with them
- here too it was good ... I hope that will change
Liam- me too
- Liam!
Liam- what?
- did you take chocolate napage?
Liam- yes
- because more with me
Liam- laugh, why?
- caramel topping or nothing you're crazy
Liam- I don't like caram-
- Nan Nan don't finish your sentence
Liam- but the -
- I disagree
Liam- the topping c-
- naaaan
Liam- listen m-
-caramel topping or nothing
Liam- I like p-
- naaaaan I hear nothing, I see nothing, I listen to nothing
Liam- laugh, I don't like caramel
So there I almost choked.
Liam- it depends on what, but in the ice no I don't like
- how could we both be friends?
Liam- because you were hurting me
- it's you you had no friend I came to you
Liam- nan precisely you had no friend so you came to me
- laugh, oh but I'm hallucinating t-
??? - Taleisha?
I turn my head and see Wesley.
- oooh Wesley are you okay?
Wesley - calm and you?
- it's ok, uuuh Liam I introduce you Wesley the friend to Aaron and Wesley I introduce you Liam my colleague
He greets himself and chews himself.
Wesley - are you on break there?
- yes we resume in 10 minutes you want to stay?
Wesley- nan I'm going to go thank you
He leaves and we continue to discuss.
Liam- Have you ever thought of getting a divorce from Aaron?
- Why ?
Liam- I see you're unhappy, is he beating you?
- it's true that I don't like him as much as before but no he doesn't beat me Liam
Liam- if you're not happy leave him, I can see he has a little hold on you, leave him before he has full hold on you
I stood there watching him, staring into space.
Why can't I do it? Why can't I leave? ...
Liam- am I right?
- we must go
I get up and leave the McDonald's.
[...]
I come home from work and as soon as I get back I find myself on the ground.
- ouch ... Aaron ...
Aaron- you are cheating on me! Me Aaron Kelmendy are you cheating on me ?!
- Aaron I didn't cheat on you, don't start!
He punched me in the stomach and punched me in the head.
I curl up and he keeps hitting me.
After a few minutes he stops, I even feel my body more.
Aaron- I took revenge on Maleisha.
As soon as he said that I don't know where I found the strength but I got up and went upstairs to see Maei 'direct.
I saw him lie down sleeping, but with an opening on his cheek. I still checked if she was breathing and yes she is breathing.
Aaron- then? Isn't it beautiful?
- I'm going to kill you! One day it's me who will kill you!
Aaron- laugh, I'm going out
He slams the door and leaves the house ...
[...]
A few days later.
- hello my baby
I take her in my arms and bring her downstairs to feed her.
She- idlzlslddk
- naaaan is that true?
Elle- leieoejeozoz
- laugh, I agree with you
She laughs and opens her little mouth.
- voilaaa you're done, we're going to take a little shower
I go back up, I prepare the bath, I undress her and I put her in the water.
She loves the shower too much, she always closes her eyes and leaves me to wash her alone.
My daughter❤️
I prepare her because it is today that she is going to see her uncles.
I am in a hurry but I am stressed at the same time.
I don't even know why.
I take it out and put it on my bed.
I wipe it off, put it on a diaper and dress it.
Frankly today it's cool so I'm going to dress her warmly.
I put his little jacket on him and I go to get my clothes.
I put on white jeans with a white boat top and a brown puffer jacket like my daughter.
I take her bag to tie, my purse and my daughter and I go to the car.
I tie her up, go and close the door of the house and get back into the car.
- we're going to see the uncles, are you happy my daughter?
She laughs and puts her hand on her little cheek.
I put a little background of music and I start.
[...]
I sit on the bench in front of the table with my daughter on me while waiting for my brothers.
I put her back to them to surprise them.
The door opens and my brothers enter.
Melvin- is that my niece?
I laugh and turn my daughter so she is in front of them.
Keenan- it's not possible she is too beautiful to be your daughter
I laugh and I start to have tears in my eyes.
Melvin quickly wipes away a tear that was falling and Keenan tries to hold back the tears.
Keenan- laugh, is that my niece?
- laugh, is she beautiful?
Melvin- she is beautiful
Keenan bangs on the door to call a guard.
Keenan- will you allow me to hug my niece?
Him- yes
He closes the door.
- are you ready ?
Keenan- since time
I laugh again and pass my daughter to him.
KISS🖤
