Celia

Darnell stared at me, not saying anything. His silence gave me all the answers I needed. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I had suspected that his ass was cheating, but never in a million years would I have thought he was sleeping with Diane. This was low, even for her skank ass. Tears of hurt and anger began stinging my eyes, and I tried to blink them away.

“Celia.” Darnell had the nerve to look defeated, even though he was the one that caused the crippling damage in my heart. I turned and walked away, determined to get as far away from him as possible. I hadn’t made it very far when I walked into Detective Donaldson, literally.

“Oh, sorry,” I told him.

“No, it’s my fault. Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine.” I nodded.

He reached into his pocket and handed me a handkerchief. I politely thanked him and dabbed at my eyes, embarrassed by my tears.

“Listen, I know it’s a little overwhelming, but the doctors are very optimistic about Avery, and so am I. From what they say, she’s a real fighter,” he said.

I realized he thought my tears were due to my niece and not my trifling husband and slut of a sister.

“She is,” I told him.

“Celia.” Darnell’s voice came from behind me.

I took a deep breath and said, “No, I’ll check on her later. Thank you for all of your help, though.”

“Are you sure everything’s okay?” Detective Donaldson asked with a look of concern on his face.

“Yes, I’m sure.” I nodded and walked away.

“Celia, wait,” Darnell yelled, and I sped toward the elevator, which was a few feet away.

“Sir, can I speak with you for a moment?” I heard Detective Donaldson say.

“Naw, I need to catch my wife before she gets on that elevator,” Darnell said.

“I don’t think she wants to speak with you right now, sir,” Detective Donaldson told him.

I pushed the elevator button several times, praying that the doors would open soon. I needed some air and to clear my head.

“Man, can you please move so I can talk to her?” Darnell asked.

I pushed the button again, and finally, the doors opened. I looked back once more before stepping on and seeing the tall police officer blocking Darnell. Had I not been so pissed, I would’ve been amused by the sight of them.

“Celia don’t—”

The elevator doors closed before Darnell could finish his sentence. I leaned my head against the back of the elevator as it descended. My husband and my sister. My sister and my husband. The thought was nauseating. All I’d done for both of them was bust my ass. I busted my ass so that Darnell and I could live in a nice house and drive nice cars and go nice places. I busted my ass so that I could help take care of her fucking kids, the ones that she barely saw during the week because when she wasn’t so-called working, she was either getting drunk with her friends or screwing some random-ass man—one of which happened to be my husband.
