Chapter 224 Hateful bitch

"Are you angry at me?" She asks taken aback by his attitude. "No, I'm angry at myself, my wife died last night because of me, my lies, my cheating, my deceitfulness. She found out I was cheating on her, her heart couldn't handle it, she had a massive heart attack and she died.

I killed my wife, the mother of my firstborn child. I'm a disgusting person, Aisha, thrust me when I say you don't want someone like me in your life." He said and turn to walk away but she grabs his arms.

"I'm sorry to hear that but you're not a disgusting person, you're human and you make mistakes, mistakes that you'll learn from. Learn, grow, and move on….." "You really believe I can move on from this? He snaps.

"Yes…" "You're wrong, I can't, I don't deserve you, I don't deserve to be happy, ever again, I did this to the mother of my child, I did this; my daughter will grow up and she'll know that I'm the one that killed her mother, me." He said with tears in his eyes.

She reaches out to touch him but he pulls back. "Caleb…." "Don't, you've no idea the kind of person I am. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you; I've never felt this way about anyone, there's nothing I wouldn't have done to keep you in my life, including putting a baby inside you, just so I could hold onto you."

"Oh, I see." "Yes, that's the kind of person I am. The kind of person that would get you pregnant just to keep you in my life. That's how selfish I am." "Then why are you pushing me away?" She asks sadly. "Because you're a wonderful person and I'm an asshole and the last thing you need in your life, is an asshole."

"What if I'm in love with said asshole?" "I don't deserve to be loved, by anyone." He said and before she could stop him he walked away from her. "Stop, right there mister. If you meant what you said about being in love with me, then you won't take another step." She said in a stern tone.

He stops but didn't turn around, so she walks around him and stands before him. "Okay, I get that you are pissed at yourself because of what happened, and yes, right now you feel like shit and I get that too but know this Caleb Jackson. I'm in love with you and I know you're going through a tough time right now but I'm not giving up on you, not now, not ever.

So take the time you need to get yourself together, because when you do, I'll be right here." She said hugging him. "What she said." A voice said from behind them. They turn and saw Shania standing in the driveway.

"What are you doing here?" Caleb asks in a tired tone. "I heard what happened and that my crazy sister tried to stab you with a pen. I asked Alan where you were and he direct me here. Okay, I don't mean to interrupt but know this, I don't blame you for any of this, my sister is dead because of how she chooses to deal with the situation.

Yes, you cheated but people don't just drop dead because their spouse cheated. She knew she had a blood pressure problem, she should've controlled herself, none of this is your fault…"

"Shania…..stop…" "Alright, I know you cared about her but the truth is my sister was a hateful bitch, who had to have things her way, all the time, hmm, okay, sorry, it's wrong to speak ill of the dead, alright, take some time to deal with this but please don't let this ruin your life," Shania said in a frustrated tone as she walks back towards her car.

"Let me guess, she's one of your…..?" "Yes, she is." "Okay, conversation for another time, I'm here if you need me alright." She said hugging him. "Okay."

Chris and Jared were on their way to their car when Scott hope off the back of Peter's bike and ran over to them. "Hey guys wait up." He shouts. "Scott, what are you doing here?" Chris asks. "Chasing you guys apparently. We heard what happened to Maya." Scott said as Peter walks over to them.

"Where's Caleb?" Peter asks. "Inside, with Samson." Jared answer. "Alright, young blood here wanted to ask you guys something so, I'm going inside to talk to Caleb for a bit, join me when you're finished yeah," Peter said to Scott. "Yeah, sure."

"Seriously dude, it's seventy degrees out here, what's with the sweater?" Scotts asks Chris. "I'm making a fashion statement, so anyway, what did you want to ask me?" Chris asks changing the subject.

"Oh yeah, so um, Ziva's brother turns fifteen on Saturday and he was wondering if you and I could dance at his birthday party, and if it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if you could probably get a few of your guys including you, Jared, of course, to dance with us?" Scott said in a hopeful tone.

"Yeah, sure we could do that, right Jared?" "Yeah, yeah, we could." "So will your little chipmunk be dancing with us?"

Chris asks wiggling his brows. "Yes, she will." "Wait, your little chipmunk? So it's like that now?" Jared asks in a teasing tone.

"Yes, she's my little chipmunk, so quit badgering me about it and please don't say that phrase around the other guys, they've some very wild imaginations." Scott groans. "Got it, so what songs will we be dancing to?" Chris asks. "Hm, not sure, let me get back to you on that." "Alright, we need to get to the hospital to check on Jayden, so call me later." "Okay, thank you." Scott did a little victory dance before running into the house.
