CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

DENIM

I stand in the kitchen with my hands on my hips watching Scarlett drink ice-cold water. Bum ass bitch! I’m expecting her to give me a real answer about what happened to my baby girl. Right now Jasmine is upstairs sleep, because the medicine they gave her for the pain makes her tired. She suffered a broken hip and leg, and the doctor doubts she’ll walk the same again.

“Scarlett, when are you finally going to tell me what really happened to my little girl?” I ask leaning against the stove. “I went in your bathroom yesterday, and noticed there’s a carpet right in front of the tub. So how could you slip? It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Scarlett’s face reddens. “Why do you want to make me so guilty, Denim? Why can’t you believe that I didn’t mean to hurt Jasmine?”

“Because something is up with you,” I point at her. “Camp use to tell Bradley all the time how violent you were. Said you got real jealous whenever he would go out, and hit him in the face sometimes when he came home late at night. He said half the time he wanted to stay out, and that he despised being married to you. Camp told Bradley that he was even thinking about divorcing you and everything.”

Scarlett slams the water glass down. “How did you know that? About the divorce?”

“I just told you,” I respond. “I never said anything to the girls, because I respected your marriage, and I didn’t think you were abusive. But, now I’m wondering if I was wrong.”

Scarlett pushes past me and walks into the living room. “If you can blame me so easily for something like this, Denim it means you’ve never trusted me in the first place.”

“Bitch, I’m not trying to hear none of that shit. Bambi and Race may be blind to who you really are, but I’m not anymore. If it slithers like a snake kill it,” I yell. “For real, I would respect you more if you just came out and told me what you did to Jasmine. For once since this shit began, just be honest.”

Scarlett stops in the foyer, and I stand in front of her. Her cheeks redden. She’s under pressure. Good for the bitch.

“I’m gonna be straight with you, Scarlett,” I say. “I know watching an autistic child is hard work. Trust me I do.” My voice is softer. “There are plenty of times when I question God as to why he gave me an autistic baby. And, sometimes I even curse him for it. Especially, when I’m trying to connect with her, and she acts like she doesn’t see me. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed with autistic children, Scarlett, and I can understand if you lost it when you watched her. I just want the truth. I promise you, that if you tell me what really happened now, I will trust you again. But, if you lie to me, I will eventually be the death of you.
