TROUBLED Chapter 32 : He was surprised
Prison isn't easy, it isn't pleasant by any stretch of the imagination, and it isn't a 'holiday camp' as we so often hear – but it does offer stability and structure. Each day at 7:45am the gates are unlocked. Everyone gets ready for their daily activities which start at 8:30am. This was was a very special day for Debby, she would be going home. She didn't have a home but Eric was her home. He had called her informing her that he had just landed a day ago and was staying at a hotel. What he didn't tell her was he had brought a guest. Debby had not slept at all, she was excited. The butterflies in her stomach just wouldn't let her sleep. She imagined how amazing it would feel to be in Eric's arms. Had he changed? Did he still hold his wholesome looks? Did he get any new tattoos? They always got tattoos together, it was spontaneous, it was their thing. Those leaving prison that morning will be unlocked earlier at 7:30am. That could be for court appearance or outside hospital visit or t

In the middle of an alleyway, she shrugged down to the concrete ground and held her knees close to her chest. She could feel her heart feeling unsteady. It hurt... whatever the feeling was it hurt. It stung. Her eyes were puffy from all the crying, her hands were shaking.. her whole body was shaking. She noticed rats running under the junk where she sat close proximity with. Eric walked over to where she was sat, he sat next to her; quietly. "I have literally given my life for you." She hiccuped, he sighed. "I still want you around, in my life. Nothing has to change, Debby. I love you—" "Just not in that way right?" She let out a sardonic laugh. "I really thought this was the happiest day of my life but..." "I'm sorry!" "You keep saying that but you're just hurting me even more. There are so many things I shielded you from. So many things! I took the fall for you. I had the main tape destroyed just so my brother wouldn't have an incriminating evidence against you. I just—" Debby

"Leo, let's go." Eric said fuming. "What? Go talk to her.." Leona gestured at Debby who was sitting in her corner balling her eyes. It was such a pity scene. "We're leaving." He pulled her but she stood her ground. "You're being very insensitive, I won't allow you to treat her like that." Eric immediately rolled his eyes. He was so annoyed and he had, had it up to his neck with Deborah McFadden. "She is lying." He hissed clenching his teeth from anger. "She is such a manipulative bitch and I don't need this type of negativity in my life or around our child." "Eric—" Leona was immediately cut off. "Trust me, okay? She is lying!" That's when Debby came back with tears flooding, she immediately gave Eric a hot scorching clap on the right cheek. This had him fuming, he was never one to manhandle women but she was surely pushing it."Y-you r-really h-h-ave some nerve calling me a liar!!" Debby hiccuped, her eyes bloodshot red, tears went down her cheeks. Leona felt bad for her. E

"I like this one better than the rest." Debby gestured at the six apartment of the day. "Are you sure Debby? I much prefer the one with a balcony?" Leona added her suggestion. Debby chuckled. "I hated the bathroom, they reminded me of prison. I wanted something modern.." "Okay, so are you very very sure about this one." "Yes, I feel like it's something.. I would be able to pay off monthly on my own without being a bother. I don't want something too expensive then I can't end up paying the rent.." She paused. "It's also close to my work place.""That's reasonable." Leona replied. Their voices sounded like echoes in this new place. It was a bachelor flat, with a very reasonable pricing and a decent neighborhood. "I really like this one!" Eric entered the room. "Mainly the kitchen, although you can't cook to save your own life.." "Piss off Eric, I'm better than you." "Boiling water for hot chocolate doesn't make you a chef." Eric said sarcastically. "Alright kids!" Leona interven

Dear Ricardo Delgado, my pride and joy. "You will always be my Ricardo none of that English, Eric Michelson, accept your first name; last name and heritage because it will never go away. You're Spaniard, a true born and breed Spaniard. That's who you're and who your children will be. You will not touch this money until you take back your rightful names. I presume you have hit rock bottom, I always knew your anger would not last—"—Eric immediately kicked the edge of the brown leather couch in front of him. It hurt like a bitch. "Ouch.." He muttered. "I probably should not have done that. Damn you Marino!" He let out a sardonic laugh. It was full of so much hate and hurt. He was really letting a dead person get to him. He had not even read through the letter and Marino was already ticking him off. He just knew all the right buttons to press. That nincompoop, a nickname that Debby and Eric used to call him when they were kids. He decided then and there that he could not read this two

Pacing around the room, Leona read the letter for what seemed like the fifth time. Knowing Eric and how much he worshipped his mother, this was something that would destroy him emotionally and mentally. He had spent his whole life loathing his father. His mother had said enough unkind words concerning his father. Supposedly most mother's did so, driven by anger and wanting pay the father back in spades. It would be in the best interest of a maddened mother to turn the child against their father. What hurt Eric the most was for most of his life... he spent it, causing his father heartache. Even so after his mother had passed. Eric felt anger and guilt. Things could have been different, they could have— When Debby entered the room without knocking for some odd reason, Leona prayed it would be Eric. To her disappointment, it wasn't... her weariness grew. Debby didn't hesitate going over to hug Leona. She seemed like she needed it from the looks of things. "I'm so sorry, I ruined your

Debby and Leona embraced tightly. "Don't cry—" Debby said feeling her tears threatening to calm down as well. "He does not deserve those tears and most of all our friendship doesn't have to end because of him." Leona pulled away and nodded quickly. Her hair was roughly put in a bun not caring about her appearance at all. She wore something comfortable knowing it would be a long flight. It bothered her knowing throughout all these eleven hour about to come... she would only be think about him. Replaying scenes over and over again. Scenes from when she first called him.. skinny, obnoxious, disgusting, selfish... Her love and care was slowing turning into resentment. He never acknowledged this child. He rarely ever spoke of it, unless he was putting up a fight about her food choices. Leona had spent so much time watching pregnancy related shows and YouTube videos. The father's to be were overly excited... not the somewhat disinterested attitude, Eric always resembled. "What did he sa

She should have known that out of every single person in her life... her father would never let her down. He did not speak to her during the past week but he made her breakfast in silence. He cooked healthy lunches with his wife. They would talk and whisper amongst themselves but not with her. She was okay with it, she did not have anything to say. Eric had not bothered checking if she arrived safely. Leona was deadset on forgetting about him. He was a mistake and to think, she thought her life was boring without him. He brought fun and trouble. He was heartless and selfish. Every single observation she had once made about him from the start was true, it was all nothing but the truth. For a moment she wished she had never met him... infact that was now a continuous feeling. Laura and Sam had taken her to lunch the other day. It was all bitter talk and insults thrown here and there. Sam admitted that he still spoke to Eric and they were still good friends. Leona felt betrayed but Sam

TROUBLED Chapter 49 : Ara turns 4 and a half
He was absolutely breathtaking. Not in the physical view but him being a father. It attracted her so much more than before. It built up sexual frustration, for so long she wondered if he would ever split her into two again. His voice was raspy and it made the folds in between her legs water with need. Even knowing she had a boyfriend, she still craved for Eric. She craved for everything he had to offer. He was always able to help her reach some sort of heaven. "Sweetheart, it's time to sleep." Eric told his daughter dismissively switching off the television in front of her. "No no no peaze daddy!" Ara whined. Leona watched Eric calm their daughter down, as soon as he explained that she would be visiting her grandparents. She was way too happy, she forgot about Masha and the bear. Leona felt her breasts swell with so much need under her silk gown, when they had intensely made eye contact. Eric had always been a breath of fresh air to take in but there was just so much more about him
TROUBLED Chapter 48 : Ara turns four
On that faithful night, knowing tomorrow would be his first day. Eric was a nervous-wreck. His girlfriend was sleeping in their bed, snoozing to the sound of peacefulness, snuggled in the comfy blankets while he was sitting on the bathroom floor in his boxers still on what was now a forty-three minutes phone call with the mother of his child. There were so many titles he could call her but only 'mother of my child' seemed fitting. Not baby mama or ex-girlfriend. "What if they don't like me?" Eric asked. He had avoided finally getting into a classroom right after doing his undergraduate he continued into his postgrad with the fear of actually having to be in a classroom. He furthered his studies because he feared, actually having to apply the skills he had acquired."Why wouldn't they like you? If you were my middle school teacher, I would have written a fan fiction about you." Leona snickered trying to lighten up the mood. "Oh yeah?" "Definitely!" Leona smiled even though he couldn
TROUBLED Chapter 47 : Ara turns two
Crawling, walking, running, jumping with both feet. Jumping tantrums in many shops when her parents wouldn't buy her what she wanted. Pulling and carrying toys... misplacing them and making the house a mess. Crying for the toys she misplaced. Climbing on furniture, almost giving her mother a heart attack afraid she would fall. Throwing and kicking a ball towards her dad or grandpa or Uncle Sam. Walking up the stairs while holding the rail. Daddy teaching her how to brush her teeth and hair. Mommy doesn't have to help her pull up her pants anymore. She claims to be a big girl. Turning on the faucet and leaving the bathroom a mess. How did she even reach there? Holding up utensils and crayons with her fingers instead of a fist. Repeating every word she hears. 'Fuck you, Sam!' Araceli repeating what her aunt had said while on the phone. 'Fudge-you-same'. "No no bad word Ara." She would simple giggle at her pregnant aunt scolding her. Recently she had started using words like 'why daddy
TROUBLED Chapter 46 : They were so at peace
They stood stagnant in their position for what seemed like the longest time when it had only been merely been a few minutes. Eric felt patient, he knew it wouldn't be that easy but at least he was trying. Leona let out a sigh and stared back at him with her eyes just waiting to burst the dam of tears. She looked so vulnerable. "I can't—" she sniveled when a tear fell. "I don't want this anymore. It's not going to work. We always try and you always promise that it will but as soon as something comes up. You push me away and the only person you want is Debby. It hurts because whenever I feel down and sad... the only person I want is you but you don't want me. You don't love me. If you did you wouldn't have said what you said the last time we talked." She paused. Eric could feel the physical ache in his chest. A part of him didn't know if he should let her be from here on or if he continued pursuing her that would be some sort of harassment. "You told me that you wanted a new start and
TROUBLED Chapter 45 : She was so cold
Feeling left out.Eric stood in his corner. It was seven in the evening, Leona had merely woken up a few hours ago but her room was filled with flowers and gifts. It wasn't just Leona's parents who had came to see her. It was her whole family, her aunts, uncles and so on. Eric watched how Leona little nephews and nieces crowded her near the bed. She didn't seem to mind. Every time she smiled, he felt jittery in and out. So jittery, he was forced to lowly clear his throat. She wasn't smiling at him though. Eric was concerned, with how many people were coming in and out of Leona's room. If he wasn't mistaken, he had seen almost half of the church fellowship in the hallways. Happiness radiated all across the room. It made Eric realize that Leona was such a good person so much that everyone loved her. No one had anything horrible to say about her... if there was it would have to be Robbie. He wanted to stay in his place and not invade her space like everyone was. "Araceli is awake now, I
TROUBLED Chapter 44 : It felt so surreal
13:56 There was a sharp smell of disinfect invading her nostrils, a metallic tang from stainless steel in the open air. The room silent with void except for the beeping sound that indicated she is alive. Her eyes flew wide open, her lashes like a curtain blinding her vision. Confusion passed through her mind... 'Where am I?' Out of instinct her hand immediately reached for her stomach. Her other other reached for her stomach yet again feeling nothing over the hospital gown. Her brain started to register what was happening when she saw the blue color scheme surrounding the room. Shutting her eyes she remembered bleeding... on her way—"My baby!" She said hoarsely, her throat dry. She sat up straight from the bed. Her joints cracking into place after not having moved for over a month. She did not know that, infact everything in her mind had happened yesterday. She was about to get out of bed when a nurse came in and gasped. "Oh my Leona..." She rushed, making Leona stay back in bed.

"She has this thing right?" Eric chuckled lightly thinking about it. "Where she burps out milk and most of the time it's always on my shirt. I haven't showered in two days. She is going home today so I might have to book a hotel or something.." "Ew Ricky, she is extra sensitive and you might give her infections with your filth, for fucksake go shower and maybe shave... it's weird seeing you with stubble." Debby replied referring to the pictures Eric had sent. The focus was supposed to be on Araceli not him. He rolled his eyes at her response but admitted to the fact that he could really use a shower."Damnit Debby! I cant leave her sight knowing Robbie works here.." he added. "Yeah... he seems so spiteful. Leona told me what he said on her last appointment." That I should have been at. Eric thought cautiously. It bothered him that if she passes, that would mean they left everything off on a very bad note and absolutely nothing could change that. He would have to live with that guil
TROUBLED Chapter 42 : She was so perfect
- I am by no means forcing Christianity on anyone. I think we all knew what we were getting into when the story read 'Christian boyfriend'. I'm not the most religious person but I'm just glad I get to show people of God's works even in the most distinct way, where ever I can. It's also okay to skip if it offends or makes you feel uncomfortable. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion :D —Faith. Putting faith in God would mean we believe that even though things look tangled up, God is able to untangle them. When tragic things happen, putting faith in God means we believe, no matter how bad things look, that God will work them together for good. (Romans 8:28) When God says he will work all things for good, there is no exception. Too often, we look at what we are experiencing and can not fathom how it will work out, but that's exactly when we need to place that situation into his capable hands. God is not stunned by our struggles or trials. We get a call from the doctor with res
