Hendrix

“Ouch, shit!” I hissed in pain as Halani cleaned the wound on my face.

We were in the bathroom at my Granny’s house after all of the chaos had settled. The dining room was cleaned, and all of the food had been thrown away. As an apology, I ordered the entire family dinner on me. I hated that Onyx and I took shit as far as it went. Sure, we tussled as kids, but we had never beat each other like we had tonight.

“I know it hurts, but you have to be still, baby,” Halani said in a trembling voice. Her hands were trembling as well. I gently grabbed them and forced her to look at me.

“Hey… talk to me.”

“I feel so bad, Hendrix. Your family is going to hate me now.”

“My family already loves you.”

“Yeah, they loved the me they knew for three years. They’ll never love the me that’s not only sleeping with but is in a relationship with her ex’s brother. I’ve fucked everything up. I should have just wallowed in grief and depression by myself. Maybe it wouldn’t be like this if I had cut deeper—”

“Don’t ever let me hear you say that shit again,” I said, cupping her face. “I love you. I need you, Halani. Don’t ever think that you don’t belong here, baby. You deserve life and happiness just like the next muthafucka. I will not have this shit between Onyx and I threatening all of the work you’ve put into getting better. Do you understand me?”

She nodded, tears filling her beautiful eyes. The last thing I wanted was for her to slip back into a depressive state. She was doing so much better these days. Therapy was doing wonders for her. Make no mistake, she still struggled with her grief. Some days it was still hard for her to get out of bed. She cried for Cheyenne at the most random times, but she always managed to pull it together. My baby was still in the healing process, and for Onyx to basically tell her she should have died was about as fucked up as it could get.

“None of this is on you,” I told her.

“I’m the common factor between you two. Because of me, your relationship is ruined.”

She started crying, propelling me to pull her into my arms.

“Don’t put that on yourself,” I said, stroking her back. “I knew the risk of being with you. I’m just as much responsible for this. Even more so because he is blood. But understand this…” I held her away from me and looked into her eyes. “I love you. And nothing in this world will stop me from loving you and being with you. You have me until you no longer want me.”

“How could I ever not want you, Hendrix? You’ve been and you are everything to me. Falling for you saved me in so many ways. I am forever grateful to call you my partner and my best friend.”

She cupped my face and kissed me softly, then she went back to cleaning my wound.
