Chapter 88
January 2 2004- Cat and John are in the Bahamas on their honeymoon which would be lasting for three weeks. Cat and John were still in bed, it was almost noon Bahamian time. John slowly opened his eyes and at first his environment was unfamiliar. He blinked and looked at the Sleeping Beauty by his side and knew it was for real- the wedding and the last couple of days. He gave a sleepy smile and began stroking Cat’s hair and started nibbling her ear. Cat stirred slowly giving a sleepy smile and turned to kiss John.
John: Hi Mrs Fitch, how are you doing this morning?
Cat: I’m feeling and doing perfect Mr. Fitch, and you?
John: More than happy. I can’t believe all we’ve been through
Cat: Yeah and that we’re starting the New Year together as a married couple
John: The first of many New Years as a married couple.
They both sighed contentedly
Cat: Hmm I wonder what the others are doing back in Cali….
Well back in Cali, it was January 3, Des and Lami were watching TV when the doorbell rang, Lami got up to answer the door, it was Cashmere.
Cashmere: Happy New Year y’all
Lami gave her a hug and walked her back. Des got up and hugged Cashmere
Des: Happy New Year Cash how ya doing?
Cash: I’m good
She took off her jacket, and she was wearing a ¾ sleeve top with the bracelet Devin gave her on her right wrist
Des: Wow, that’s a nice bracelet
Cash: Thanks, Devin gave it to me
Lami: hmmm, who’s this Devin guy I’ve been hearing about?
Des: The guy who’s gonna make Cash’s year a very happy one
Cash blushed and sat down
Des: So whassup?
Cash: Oh, Tyra’s mom called me and said that Tyra can now receive visits from people so I was wondering that if not today, we could all go and see her
Des: Hmmm not a bad idea, we could all go and so…
Cash: Shhh
Des: What?
Cash: The TV, look who’s on
Des and Lami looked at the TV to see who Cash was focusing on, it was Nelly, Des rolled her eyes
Des: Oh don’t tell me you’re still on your Nelly crush?
Cash: Its not a Nelly crush, it’s more like an ‘I’m gonna marry him’ okay?
Des looked at Cash in surprise, it was more like the old Cash shining through
Des: What’s gotten into you lately?
Cash: Its part of my New Year’s resolution, to be stronger and I don’t know… change somethings. Its just that I’ve had a really bad year and I just need a new beginning this year, and that takes more than saying, I have to start acting it even if I don’t always feel it.
Lami: That’s good, I hope you keep it up
Des: Yeah me too, I am proud of you.
Cash: So any New Year resolution?
Des: Well mine is to go easier on people, and be smarter
Lami: Girl if you were any smarter, you’d be teaching the class
Des: Yeah whatever, what about you?
Lami: Well right now my life is perfect, I just resolve to have no more drama, no more getting shot, no more running between girls, now I gotta straighten up my life and stay in college and make something for myself, and you know what the best thing about this year will be?
Cash: What?
Lami: It means I got just 3 more years to finally marry the queen of my heart
He took Des’s hand and kissed it, Des blushed and looked down
Des: Dude you’re mad
Lami: Yeah, about you.
…………………………………..
The next day, Tyra was in her cell lying on the filthy bed, her top bunkmate was called Rochelle- Rochelle is a mixed race chick with a short afro, a tattoo of a naked lady holding a tiger on her belly, a cross with a bat with its head cut off in the middle on her left shoulder blade, and she had a panther with its claw drawing her blood on her right arm and was awaiting trial for aggravated burglary. Rochelle was sitting on the bed reading a dirty mag. Tyra sighed. Rochelle looked up from her magazine and rolled her eyes
Rochelle: Yo Tiny, if you sigh one more time, I swear I am going to bash your head against the wall. What’s up with you this time?
Tyra: Its just that I keep thinking back to what happened and its almost as if I didn’t do it, I cannot believe I beat up the one guy who was there for me all my life, the one guy I loved, and cos of my stupidness, I miss Christmas and New Year with my family and friends.
Rochelle groaned
Rochelle: look, I’ve heard the same bullshit from you since I came here and trust me it don’t get no easier as I’m here with you. You know what, I don’t got no sympathy for bullshi**ing little whining wankers like you, you did what you did cos the guy was nice to ya, cos he took your crap, and now you’re here whining about how you think you didn’t do it. Face it you did, and its little whores like you that give us criminals a bad name. You know why I jacked up that guy and his family is cos I had to. I got two kids to feed okay? My man got his knees jacked by some gangbangers. Ever seen that film ‘Hardball’?
Tyra [barely audible]: Y…yeah
Rochelle: You know how they gotta sit on the floor just to avoid bullets? Yup, that’s my life, I raise kids in that life and I’ve had a bad life but you don’t hear me whining about it, I just get on with my life and do something. You know what, you’re a rich stuck up kid who knows jack about life, so next time u wanna whine, go talk to Bill Gates.
Tyra: But…
Rochelle: But nothing, you know what, if you do get outta here, I hope that guy dumps you cos you sure don’t deserve him. I can do a lot of crap, but one thing I’ll never do is beat up on my man no matter how much he annoys me.
Tyra just slunk back even further into her bed, Rochelle was right, and its painful. She began to cry tears and about 10 more minutes, the warden came to the cells
Warden: Warren, you got company
Tyra got up from her bed and followed the warden.
When she got to the visitor’s area, she stopped in shock
Tyra [thinking]: I don’t believe this
That’s it! Happy New Year y’all, enjoy!
