Chapter 5.

That night when Carmelo got back to the house he was acting crazy. He was throwing shit and going ham. Meanwhile I'm looking and smelling good and he ain't worried about none of that shït. I'm looking at him spaz out and I begin to feel uneasy. "Baby what's the problem? What the fuck going on? Stop lying to me I can help you. Baby just tell me!" I said getting tired of this unknown shït he going through. I knew it was serious because the last time he got like this one of his friends died. "Watch out Rein I'm good I don't need your help man." He said. As he left the room to head downstairs I grabbed my robe and followed. He was in the kitchen turning up the whole bottle of Hennessy. I looked at him in tears. I didn't know what to say to him at that point. "Baby we got to get the fuck up out this house!" He said seriously. "Go put on some clothes and let's fucking go." So I ran upstairs and quickly got dressed as I packed a few of our things. We rushed out the house and made it to this fancy five star hotel. I don't care I couldn't get comfortable or none of that. My stomach was tight and my head was hurting bad. Suddenly I felt sick as fuck. Running to the bathroom I kneeled in front of the toilet and threw up. I was crying and throwing up everywhere. Melo rushed in behind me and kneeled beside me. Rubbing my back with one hand and holding my hair with the other. "Baby you okay? Man tell me I ain't make you sick?" He asked concerned about me. I couldn't stop crying at all. He got up and got me some water and told me to drink it. I drunk it and felt cooler than before. He helped me up and put me in the bed. As I lay there he sat in the chair beside the bed with his pistol in his hand. Man I was scared as fuck because this shït was getting too serious. We couldn't even be at the house and that got me to thinking that things were bad. Looking at Melo I noticed tears coming down his face. Out of the whole eight years I had never seen him so emotional. I tried to sit up but my head was spinning I felt faint. Carmelo looked at me and rushed over to me. "Baby don't get up just relax I got you." He said. I start crying all over again. "Baby please stop crying. I got you stop crying." He said holding me now. "This supposed to be the happiest time of our life right now but, since you proposed baby it's been weird." I said speaking my mind. "Look I know baby we okay. We just got to get to a safe place that's all. I love you I got you. Ain't shït gone happen to you baby I'll die behind you!" He said in the most Serious tone. He was holding me so tight and I felt so safe and protected. Melo didn't let me go not one time. My night was ruined for real. I was stressed the fuck out and I felt extra sick on top of that. It was like I was beginning to be trapped in a fucking nightmare. All I needed was somebody to wake me the hell up. The next day we stayed in the room and ordered food and watched movies. Cher had been blowing me up but I swear I didn't feel like talking. I threw up after I ate I couldn't keep nothing down. The stress was making me sick and by the look on Melo face I knew that was hurting him. No matter what he catered to my every need. Carmelo had called his parents and told them we would be back to visit them until we found a new place and, I got a piece of relief from that. So we decided to go back to the house and grab a few things to head out. In the car I was sick as hell. I had to hold a bag to my mouth and throw up while he drove. Making it to the house we both went in and start grabbing stuff as fast as we could. I was getting hot and felt sick all over again. Melo grabbed our stuff and ran downstairs as I ran in the bathroom. Moments later he came back up the stairs and into the bathroom. "Baby we need to make you an appointment with your doctor that's not normal. You been sick for two days." He said. "Okay baby I will." Helping me up he pointed at what to get as we made our way towards the door. The door was open but he stopped me then looked me in the eyes. "Rein I love you baby. No matter what happens you know I love the fuck out of you right?" He said. "Yeah daddy I love you too. You know that Melo." I said. He grabbed me close to him and kissed me like he'll never see me again. "I need you to run upstairs real quick and grab that blue bag hurry up." He said still looking out the door. Shaking my head I ran upstairs to look for the bag. Moments later I heard a lot of gunshots. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! At first I froze up because my mind wasn't registering what was going on. Grabbing the blue bag I ran downstairs and headed to the door. Looking outside I dropped the blue bag and ran out to the yard where Melo lay. I immediately started screaming and crying. I saw this black car speed off as I dropped to my knees beside him. "Carmelo wake up! Baby please! Melo! Melo!" I yelled. Blood was all over me and my hands. He was laying there not moving or breathing. "Help me! Somebody help me please!" I yelled in tears.
