Chapter 3
"You know,I wish we weren't even married!" Dave's words rang around Krystal's head for hours. Did he really mean it? Did those six years mean nothing to him? The look on Dave's face before he left...the pain and anger on his face. Krystal lay on the bed,crying,when the phone rang. "Dave?" Krystal whispered,looking at the phone. Oh,It's just my mom...I wonder what she wants... Krystal thought,picking up the phone. "Hello?" "Hi Mommy!" "Hey baby girl." Krystal said,sitting up and looking around the dark room. "Mommy? Whatcha doing?" Jasmyne asked,sounding as if she was bouncing up and down. "Oh baby...Mommy was just sleeping." Krystal lied. Krystal hated lying to Jasmyne...but she had to...didn't she? Krystal and Jasmyne talked for a few minutes then Jasmyne got quiet. "Mommy? Grandma says you haven't found Daddy yet...Is that true?" Jasmyne asked after a few minutes. "Baby girl...Mommy needs a little while longer to find Daddy." Krystal said into the phone. "Mommy? I gotta go. Grandma's making cookies." "Okay.I love you." "I love you mommy..And could you find Daddy soon? It's almost my birthday and I want Daddy there." Jasmyne said, still bouncing up and down. Krystal choked on the words as they came out of her mouth, "He'll be there baby girl...He'll be there.." Jasmyne told Krystal she'd talk to her later and hung up. He'll be there baby girl..He'll be there... Krystal stared at the wall as her last words to her daughter rang in her ears. I can't believe I just lied to my daughter...I am low... Krystal thought as she ran the water for her bath. I don't deserve Dave nor Jasmyne...they both deserve better than me... Krystal thought as she sat in the pile of bubbles in the tub and cried. When Krystal just began to relax and think,the phone rang. Who could be calling now? Krystal thought,getting out of the tub. "Hello?" Krystal asked, picking up the phone. "Hello?" It was Randy. "Randy?" "Hey.What's been up between Dave and you?" "Um..Nothing." Krystal said rather quickly. "Well,it doesn't seem like nothing. Dave can't pay attention at all, he stays in his room all day and all night and he won't say two words to anyone." Randy explained. Randy's words hit Krystal like a ton of bricks. "Krystal,you need to fix whatever it is that's between you and Dave before it begins to mess with his wrestling." Randy said. "I-I...There's nothing going on between Dave and I." Krystal said,trying to convince herself more than Randy. It was in vain though. Krystal broke down and cried. "Randy...What do I do? What do I do?" Krystal sobbed into the phone. "I-I don't know what to tell you...I really wish I knew but I don't know what to say." Randy said,trying his best to comfort Krystal. Krystal sobbed into the phone for a few minutes then she told Randy she had to go. Randy was hesitant to let her off the phone. "Are you sure you don't wanna talk for a few minutes?" Randy asked,praying she'd say yes. "No...I need to sleep for awhile..." Krystal said,sniffling between each word. "No!" Randy practically yelled into the phone. "Y-you can't go just yet..I-I need to ask you something." Randy lied. "What is it that so important?" Krystal asked,sounding more annoyed by the second. There was silence on Randy's side of the phone. "Well?" Krystal said impatientely. "Sh-should I wear my black tie,blue tie or no tie?" Randy spit out finally. "I don't know!" Krystal yelled,haniging up the phone and slamming it down on the bed. She slowly walked to the bathroom and walked inside and sank back down into the tub. Krystal grabbed her razor blade and looked at it then at her arm. Before even thinking it through, Krystal felt the icy blade tear her flesh and before long,she felt the white hot pain sear down her arm. She stood up and got out the tub and found some gauze,some medical tape and a towel. Krystal gripped her arm with the towel and waited for the bleeding to stop. After the bleeding stopped,Krystal wrapped it in the gauze and looked at it. That actually relieved some of the tension she was feeling. That's the only time...It'll never happen again...But the tension's gone! Krystal thought as she sat on the bed,dripping wet still. Krystal,she said to herself, Get a hold of yourself...You've gotta stop this thing before it goes any futher... Then,the phone rang. Who now? Krystal thought,reaching for the phone. "Hello?" Krystal said impatiently. "K-Krystal..." It was Dave. Krystal had never hear him like this. He sounded defeated,alone and...and scared. "Dave? What's wrong?" Krystal asked,softening her tone. "N-nothing...I...I really needed to talk to you is all." Dave sounded like he needed her...he wanted her and he would do anything to have her. Krystal got quiet and looked down at her now bleeding arm. After a few minutes silence,Dave said sadly, "I miss Jasmyne.I'm coming to get her later and spend time with her." Krystal satyed silent. "Is that okay?" Dave asked. Krystal choked back the pain she was feeling. The pain of hurting her husband and the pain from her arm. I should tell him I cut myself...Wait...Now I'm looking for excuses to get him to come here..when I know all I'll do is find some way to drive him futher from me and Jasmyne...Jasmyne...she wants her daddy here on her birthday..and I pormised... Krystal thought. "Dave?" " Yeah?" "I need to talk to you again.." "Krystal..Krystal it's 4 in the morning...can't it wait?" Dave asked,yawning slightly. "No. It's about Jasmyne...And you and me..." Krystal said,pleading with him. "Fine. I'll be there in about 45 minutes." Dave said,sitting up in his bed. "Okay.And Dave?" "Yeah" "Thanks for listening." "For Jasmyne...You and I...we'll have to talk about us later." Dave said rather coldly before he hung up. Krystal just sat there on the bed and looked at her arm and held it close to her."For Jasmyne...You and I...we'll have to talk about us later."
