MOVING IN MOVING OUT & MOVING ON
June 6, 2011 CONDO OF ADRIAN LEE (BOYKEWICH) ENRIQUEZ
Adrian opened the door to her condo, and took out her cell phone and once again dialed the number that she had placed in her top five. As usual she was sent straight to voice mail and was disappointed at what she heard. "Hello this is Omar I can't come to the phone right now so leave me a message." It annoyed her that for a guy as old as Omar he could be so stubborn like a child, but she had to admit that he had his reasons for being upset with her.
Not only was he angry that she had kissed Ricky after going to the party with him, but he was also upset with her when he found out that she slept with her husbands best friend. She wondered how he had found out about that, but with all the people there that day, and all the gossiping that was done in their town she was not surprised. She wondered how was it Ben of all people could forgive her for hurting him and humiliating him like that, why couldn't Omar. It wasn't as if they were officially together or anything for all reasons they couldn't be official until she and Ben were officially divorced.
Divorced, she thought to herself, that word seemed so finite, it scared her. She knew that her father had been married, and divorced on several occasions, but she never thought she would follow in his foot steps. She knew that she and Ben were young and that many marriages for young people didn't last past a year at most, but she and Ben didn't even last past six months. Most of their problems came from the very thing that brought them together their daughter. When they were together she remembered they were on fire. It was if nothing and no one could bring either of them down. But, she never thought that they would bring each other down, and it would be she who ended their marriage.
She knew in the beginning that it was Ben who wanted to leave at first, especially after he lost his temper after she got rid of the nursery, but she couldn't really blame him for that. He said a lot of mean things that truly hurt her on so many levels, but she had to admit much of what he said made sense. But, then he got drunk, made a fool of himself and pretended to move out, only to come back to her and apologize. What was even weirder was the fact that when she agreed to just end it, all because of, who Ben wasn't. He looked so hurt and sad when she told him how she wanted Ricky and n him.
To make matters worse when she finally realized that she didn't really have feelings for Ricky and she was left standing in the center of the room after Omar left, instead of letting her stay there and take what she had coming he came up and rescued her once again. For a moment she felt safe again, and thought maybe we can come back, but as he said before he wanted them to stay friends and that red head took him away from her. She had to admit when she saw that girl take him away from her it angered her. It reminded her of when she found out that Ricky kissed Amy, and once again she wanted to make herself feel better, by getting drunk and sleeping with someone, unfortunately that someone was Henry.
She thought that this way she could prove that Ben was just like all the rest, and that he didn't really care for her. But, as usual Ben lived up to his name as a Prince and forgave her. He actually seemed to be mad at himself rather than at her. But, yesterday after what he said to Amy, she knew Ben had moved on finally moved on with his life.
His words still rang in her ear as he stood there and stared holes into Amy, after she insulted both her and Mercy. When she heard what Amy said to Ben about how she couldn't give birth to her daughter, how she deserved to lose her. It made her want to kill Amy right then and there, but as usual, "HER PRINCE" came to her rescue again. What Ben said still made her tingle when she heard him speak.
"You know what Amy SHUT UP. JUST SHUT THE HELL UP. What happened to my daughter was no one's fault, and for you to say that, finally makes me glad. You know I always felt guilty for sleeping with Adrian, the way I did. I even got mad at her for why we ended up sleeping together. But, now I see it was a good thing that I slept with her. Because that night I was with someone, who was honest and actually cared about me. And now I can honestly say it was the best night of my life, and I no longer feel guilty about it. It allowed me to be with someone who actually loved me and wasn't looking to use me. Instead of a lying, selfish, gold digging, slut like you. Yeah, I said it Amy slut. You called Adrian that on so many occasions, and I wonder how does it, make you feel to be on the other end of that word."
She was shocked, and overwhelmed with surprise when Ben Boykewich, told off the so called "LOVE OF HIS LIFE" in defense of her and their daughter. Innocently inside her she realized with that statement, she held an even more special place in his heart and in his life than Amy. Sure, Amy had Ricky, and John, but she would always have Ben now, and in her eyes, out of every thing that went on between all of them, she realized he was the prize not Ricky, or John. She felt a little bad to realize that now that she and he were no longer together and getting a divorce. "Irony", she said allowed to herself. "Is one cruel bitch, I gave up a Prince and a kingdom, for a condo and an asshole."
It was then that Adrian heard a knock on the front door of her condo, and went to answer it. There in front of her was a face she did not expect to see, Grace Bowman. Grace stood in front of Adrian with a suit case and some of her other belonging's, also she had appeared to have been crying. "Grace, sweetie what are you doing here, aren't you suppose to be at med camp?" Adrian asked a little surprised at seeing Grace. "Adrian it's a long story, but can I please move in with you for a while because I am never going back home again," she said ready to start crying again.
"Grace of course, but honey what's wrong what could have happened that made you leave med camp, and move out?" Adrian asked concerned for her friend. "Med-Camp, was the worst Adrian," Grace said as she shed tears and walked into the condo. "At first everything was okay and going smoothly, even though Grant and I aren't together we're still trying to be friends, but that's over with now," she said in between sobs.
"How is it over Grace, I thought you still liked Grant, did he do something wrong?" Adrian asked surprised at Grace's state. "Oh, he didn't something wrong he did someone wrong," Grace said with anger and jealousy in her voice. "Do you remember that girl Raven we met at the party," Grace explained. "Yeah Daniel's ex-girlfriend," Adrian replied. "Well, I didn't tell you this because I didn't think it was important, but Jack slept with her." Grace said with another sob. "HE WHAT", Adrian yelled! "Grace I am so sorry, I thought Jack honestly wanted to get back together with you", Adrian replied in a soothing tone.
"It's all right Jack wasn't the problem we agreed that after he left the cabin that we would stay friends and in the future when I was done with school that we would wait and see if we still had feelings for each other she said." "Okay then Gracie what is the problem, how come you are so upset"? Adrian asked still trying to understand the situation. "Well as it turns out Raven is one of the supervising interns at Med Camp and she found out that I was going to be there." "So, she literally spent my first week there getting on my nerves and doing her best to try and get me to mess up." Grace said becoming angry at all that happened to her in her first week of Camp. "Okay that bitch", Adrian sneered as she began to realize the cause of Grace's departure from med camp.
"Yeah well it doesn't end there either", Grace said with a frown. "Grant realized what she was doing and tried to get her to put a stop to it, but instead she found a way to get him kicked out of the camp by saying that he was making improper advances toward her. "Oh my God, Grace is Grant okay," Adrian asked worriedly. "He's fine, as it turns out Grant's uncle is actually the man running the program and he knew something was wrong." "But I didn't know that, for some reason out of all the time we had been dating Grant never told me that his uncle ran the program." "So when I found out what Raven was doing, I got so mad that I confronted her." "All right Gracie, I hope you gave that bitch a slap for me too", Adrian replied.
"I wouldn't applaud just yet, Adrian." Grace said looking even more downtrodden. "Okay why do I have a feeling that something else happened that you're not telling me." Adrian asked as she surveyed the blond who was now sitting down and twisting a handkerchief in her hand furiously. "Well, she said something to me that really got me angry." Grace said looking at Adrian innocently. "Grace, what did she say?" Adrian asked. "She told me the only reason I was with Daniel was because my steroid, football player ex-boyfriend Jack couldn't get the job done, like a black man could." Grace said becoming angrier. "Grace she didn't" Adrian said as she sat down on the sofa next to her friend shocked at what she just heard. "Yeah, and that's when the fight broke out, and we were both ex-spelled from Med Camp, since it has a zero tolerance policy for fighting. Not to mention we were both completely kicked out of the program and not allowed to come back, EVER," the blond responded.
"Grace, I'm so sorry for you" Adrian said placing her hand on Grace's shoulder. "But, tell me why is it you want to move out of your parents' house," she asked still confused. "I mean, your mom would probably be mad about you getting ex-spelled for life from med camp, but she couldn't be that mad. "She isn't the one who is mad, Adrian I'm mad at her, and my dad, and my, my, my, brother." Grace said as stood up and started pacing angrily across the floor. "Okay chica, I can almost understand you being mad at this girl Raven, but what did your mom, step dad, and especially Tom do, to get you so upset?" Adrian asked.
"Tom isn't the brother I'm mad at Adrian, and I said I was mad at my dad, not my step dad." Grace said becoming even more, angry. "Okay, now you have me confused", Adrian said as she stared at Grace looking for an explanation to her last comment. "My Dad, Adrian you know the man who I thought I killed because I had sex with Jack." "The man who I thought was an angel on earth, and everything I thought all men should be like." "Turns out all those times, he complained about me having sex, and how he wanted me to become doctor so I could help people across the world." "Yeah, I know him Grace, I met him, and went to his funeral". "Well, he can burn in hell, for all I care." said the Christian blond. "In fact he probably already is in hell, since that is where all the adulterer's and sinners' go." Grace said with a cruel snarl.
"HOLD THE PHONE GRACIE!" Adrian replied looking at her with a large expression of shock on her face. "You mean your dad cheated on your mom, and had another kid!" Adrian exclaimed. "Oh Yeah, Grace replied. Turns out all of his pilgrimages to Africa to help the sick was a big front for him to go and hook up with the local women, and see his bastard son, Jacob", Grace said furiously. "Grace!" Adrian said looking at her with fury. "If you want to be mad and call people names do it to your dad, and mom." "Or have you forgotten that I can take offense to that word to", Adrian replied looking intently at Grace. Grace looked and Adrian and remembered that Adrian herself was not born in wedlock for although her parents were married and together now, they weren't for sixteen years. Also had it not been for Adrian's actions to find her father her parent's would not be together now.
"Adrian I'm so sorry for what I said, I forgot, I'm just so mad right now I'm not thinking straight", the blond replied touching Adrian's hand. "Its okay Grace, but I'm not the one who you called a bastard." "This mess is entirely Dr. Bowman's fault and not your mom or what was his name Jacob's fault either." Adrian said now calming her blond friend down. "I know Adrian, I just can't understand, how my dad could do something like this and not even tell us about it." Grace said as she began to cry again.
"Well how did you find out Grace," Adrian asked as she began to comfort her friend" "Well, my dad had part of the money that he set up in a trust set up for Jacob, to be sent to a private school in London." "As it turns out Jacob's mom died during child birth and he has been raised by a village doctor who runs the clinic where my dad worked on his pilgrimage." But, Jacob didn't want to go to a school in London, he wanted to come to America, and be his family, I. E. me and Tom."
"So when he found out that my mom had remarried and she was visiting my step dad in South Africa he found her and presented her with a Letter of Introduction that my Dad had written for him the day that he was born, should he ever want to may contact with us and my dad wasn't here." Grace then sat down on the sofa again and began to compose herself. "My mom not knowing what to do and the fact that she knew she couldn't blame Jacob brought him home anyway, because as she put it she couldn't just turn him away."
"Grace I'm sorry that your dad, would do something like that to your family." "But, try and think how Jacob fee's right now. I mean you, Tom, and your mom are the only family he has left, can you blame him for finding you out, and trying to be part of your lives." "I know that Adrian, but when I found out that the man that I have looked up to and compared every man that I have ever dated to, was even worse than Ricky I just couldn't stay in that house anymore knowing that our family, my family, me, my mom, and Tom weren't good enough for him I just lost it and left." Grace said in the most, saddest tone Adrian had ever heard her speak in. "Adrian had not seen Grace this broken hearted since she discovered that her father died.
"So Adrian you're literally the only person I could turn to right, now so is it okay if I crash here for a while until I can figure out what else to do," Grace asked looking innocently at Adrian. "Of course Gracie, you're my best friend, and probably my only friend." You have stuck by me through all of my grief and drama so now it's my turn to stick by you." Adrian said placing an arm around Grace." "Besides, maybe a bit of your good nature will hopefully rub off on me, but I am really scared if a part of me rubs off on you." Adrian said with a cheerful grin.
Okay, thanks Adrian, so what has been happening in your life since I've been gone for a week she said. Just then Adrian heard another knock at the door. As she got up she looked at Grace and said, "I hope this isn't Tom asking to move in because I only have one bedroom you know." As Adrian opened the door she was surprised to see another face she had expected to see at all. "Dante, WHAT THE FUCK are you doing here!" Adrian said angrily.
