Happy
Never After
Things weren’t what
they were meant to be but it was definitely an upgrade from how they were six
months ago. A whole year had passed since Cam and Bonnie pulled off the
greatest heist ever of stealing ten million dollars. Six months since they were
betrayed from the closest person to Cam after Bonnie. Between that, ups and
downs threatened their entire existence as a couple when Bonnie entertained
thoughts of leaving Cam to return to her step father or when Bonnie almost
caught Cameron cheating. But even with all that was against them, the two loved
each other, nothing could change that, not even the tables turning and Cam
being addicted to drugs. He kept it together though. He made a promise to
himself not to ever use in front of Bonnie in attempt not to tempt her to tag
along and use again.
But Cam didn’t need to
do that, Bonnie had turned a new leaf and simply wasn’t that same drug addicted
money loving impulsive little girl anymore. Except for the fact that she still
loved money and if pushed she could get a little aggressive but she was a woman
now, her large belly and wedding ring proved that.
In the later months of
her pregnancy, Bonnie came around to the fact that she would soon be a mother.
Taking the job of babysitting Lorraine’s three kids helped show her that
children weren’t that bad as she thought. With the money she made and Cam’s
income they were able to move out of the dusty apartment they lived in to a
much nicer house.
It still was a far cry
from what Bonnie was used to but the clean extra space reminded Bonnie that
losing ten million dollars wasn’t the end of the world. Quickly Cam worked his
way up from selling drugs out of the back of a club to holding a large
territory in town. Cam was never one to sit around and be broke, he just needed
a boost from the hard blow they dealt with Marco.
Bonnie was happy and she
was getting her happy ever after, after all.
“Hola Bonnie.”
Lorraine’s mother in law called out from the back yard Bonnie watched the kids
play in. The whole thing was kind of weird to Bonnie. Lorraine was slightly
older than Bonnie and lived a good life. Her husband owned a few bars in town
that allowed Lorraine not to work. She even had her mother in law living with
them. They didn’t need her help. In fact, someone was always in the house when
Bonnie was over. She spent most of her days resting her feet and eating the
good food Lorraine’s mother in law cooked. But hey, she didn’t complain, she
was getting paid for it, and with good money too.
“I just made some
cookies, your favorite.” Lorraine’s mother in law said with a plate full of
chocolate cookies.
“Ohh thank you!” Bonnie
attempted to get up from her seat but her belly pushed her back down. “You are
too good to me Marcianna.” Bonnie smiled at the older lady.
“No problem.” She
patted Bonnie’s head as she happily ate the cookies. “Now I have to go to the
discoteca, I’ll see you tomorrow ok.”
“Ok, if you see Cam
there can you tell him to pick up some milk before he comes home?” Bonnie
asked. Marcianna’s club was one of the first places Cam started out at. Their
whole family helped the couple out so much.
“I’ll tell Cameron when
he comes by later tonight.” Marcianna smiled at Bonnie before she walked out.
An hour later
Lorraine’s husband came home and sent Bonnie home. Usually he worked late and
she waited until Lorraine came back from whatever she was off doing but again
Bonnie wasn’t going to complain about going home early. The baby had been
draining her as of lately with her being so far in her pregnancy, a month or so
and she would pop! Bonnie couldn’t believe it but she was actually excited,
Cameron was too!
After a short walk to
her house Bonnie happily walked in the house. She was so eager to take a nap
that she didn’t even notice the mess of clothes in the living room or the extra
pair of shoes near the door. All she could think about was a nap. But when she
entered her bedroom to find Cam home early and already in bed, all thoughts of
a nap escaped her mind.
Especially when she saw
that Cam wasn’t alone in bed either. Napping was far far away from her mind
now, all she could think of was death.
“What the fuck do you
think you are doing!” Bonnie shouted, surprising a busy Cameron and Lorraine in
her bed. They looked so shocked to see pregnant Bonnie standing in the doorway.
In a rush the two scrambled out of the bed and attempted to cover themselves
with sheets and pillows.
“Bonnie!” Cam rushed
over to Bonnie, pillow covering his groin. Cautiously he reached out to touch
her arm. Bonnie remained frozen at the door way, eyes glued to Lorraine’s naked
body hovering in the corner. She knew. Bonnie
thought, she knew who she was, that Cam was married and that they had a baby on
the way. She welcomed Bonnie in her home, smiled in her face and even gave her
advice when Bonnie and Cam had issues.
“Baby…I am so sorry.”
Cam said with his accent burning Bonnie’s ears, he even muttered something in
Spanish about forgiveness. Forgiveness? Bonnie wasn’t hearing that shit and
she’d be damned if they thought that a few sorry’s
and some it’ll never happen again’s
would fix it.
CASH’s words rang in
Bonnie’s head. She should have never turned her back on her father. She saw now
that he was the only man that would never hurt her. While the two’s voices went
mute to Bonnie as they cried meaningless words, she began to think what would
CASH do in that situation. Once when one of CASH’s many girlfriend’s was caught
cheating on him, he skinned the girl and her lover alive. Bonnie was about
twelve then and CASH made her watch. “I want to teach you how to handle someone
when they fuck you over.” CASH had told her. She had nightmares of their
fleshless screaming bodies for weeks.
Skinning seemed a bit
too extreme for Bonnie and her baby belly told her that she did have the
stamina it took. But she knew what to do.
“This
was the first time. I’m so sorry, I don’t know why I did it.” Cameron cried out
to Bonnie. This being the first time seemed very farfetched to her. They were
probably fucking all this time. She should have known when she found Lorraine’s
number in Cam’s pocket. That babysitting bulshit should have been a big red flag.
They didn’t need her. Lorraine was probably off fucking Cam while she sat
watching her kids every day. But stupid little Bonnie, who was all in love fell
for it. How dare she think that she could be the one who turned Cameron into a
faithful guy? And how dare they think that they could betray Bonnie like that
in her own marital bed!
Words could not form in
Bonnie’s head enough for her to express her anger. She wanted to yell, scream,
tell them how much she hatted the two but all Bonnie could do was see red. So
much red that her mind when blank. Walking to the kitchen was the last thing
Bonnie remembered before she felt the pains in her belly. The ten minutes it
took to stab them both to a bloody mess went by in a flash.
She stabbed and slashed
the pain in her heart away until the pain in her belly told her it was over. Blood
in her eyes and mouth burned harder then her ears from their screaming. For a
while Bonnie sat in the bedroom. Pools of blood mixed in with each other that
she couldn’t differentiate between Cam’s, Lorraine’s or hers. She was bleeding as
well, it was from the baby. She didn’t know why she did it but she did know
that she felt better with them dead then letting them live and getting away
with it. And that’s exactly what Bonnie needed to do, get away.
It wouldn’t be long
before somebody would be looking for the two and dealing with whatever consequences
wasn’t in Bonnie’s agenda.
The baby had felt the
pain Bonnie had felt as well because her child was kicking and flipping in her
belly causing tight spasms in her pelvis. Seeing her husband, they man she
would do anything for, the one who she loved to the moon and back, sleep with
another woman right in front of her was hurtful. But it didn’t hurt as much as
the fact that her child, the one Bonnie had grew to love, would live without it’s
father. The contractions were the most painful ever, fuck Cam, she was having
the baby.
