Deceitful Delilah
Chapter 3
What's done in the dark!

Choice

Today marks two years since Jay died.
I still think about him but not as often as before, they say time heals all wounds and I guess I am slowly healing.

Thank God for Tiff.. I don't know what I would have done without her as my main support through my grieve.

Even though she has been away for two years studying, she still calls and check up on me and she was the one who constantly  told me every thing would be alright.

A year ago she even flew out for my graduation from high school.
She had missed a whole week of classes just so we could go shopping and spend some quality best friend time together.

After graduation I took sometime off to find myself and decide on a career path.
I finally decide that I should attend university and since Tiff was already in Canada I made up my mind to attend college there as well.
Few weeks ago my acceptance came via email. Excitement is an understatement to describe the feeling I had.

I was leaving home today to start off my first semester.
Tiff wasn't aware of my arrival as I wanted to surprise her.
I wave good by to my mother as I entered the line to board the plane with tears in my eyes and a uncanny feeling in my stomach as I walked in the  direction of the other passengers.

The plane touch down on Canadian soil about an hour later and after going through airport security I hailed a cab and told the driver my destination.
I was so overjoyed when he finally turn inside the school yard I almost cried out with glee..
The school's secretary came out to meet me and took my name.
She found it on her sheet, tick it off and proceed to take me to my dorm room which was located on the third floor..
"Am sorry madam but I didn't get your name" I said to her
"Oh I am sorry" she apologized
"My name is Mrs Tulip "
"That's a beautiful name " I complimented her.
"Your name is unique" She offered back.
"Thank you" I smiled.

She showed me to the elevator and we both got in.
"Mrs Tulip um is it possible you would know where I could find a friend that attends here?" I asked
"What is your friends name?"
"Tiffany Boswell"
The elevator came to a stop on  the third floor and we got out.
She flip through a couple of  pages and then told me there was no one by that name. That was weird Tiff told me this was the school she was attending  so how is it that she is not listed?
"Are you sure?"
"Yes my dear" she said while looking again. " No Tiffany Boswell".

We reach the room and I went in and she went back the direction of the elevator.
Something was really wrong here.
Where the hell was Tiff?.

Tiff

I sat on the porch of my home and watched my son JT playing with his dad.
We don't normally get sunny days like these so we made use of the sun whenever the sun shine.
Who would have thought that Jay and I could be so happy and had a family too.
I smiled when I look back on the events leading up to this moment.

Flashback

A week after I told Choice that Jay had burn to ash I finally flew out to Canada.
She wouldn't allow me to leave her side. I had to cancel my flight twice.
I remember telling her I had to start school or else my scholarship would be revoked.
She accompanied me to the airport and bid me goodbye in tears..
I called her everyday pretending to care but I didn't.

It took me a month to find  Jay and when I did he was devastated but he was happy to see me.
It didn't take much to get him to sleep with me, he was hurting and vulnerable and I just use that to my advantage.

After the sex he hated me but hated himself more for fucking his dead beloved best friend but I knew how to coax him in,  I told him I was pregnant and that I know choice would be happier if he was with me than with some other girl.

He took the bait and hasn't left my side since but he stills talk about her everyday.
Last month for her birthday he cried all day and when I asked him why he said she would be legal now and he could have started to see her when ever he liked.
How pathetic!!! I waited until he left for work that night and JT asleep before calling Choice and wishing her a happy birthday...

End of flashback

Time was running out on me though my trust fund that I was secretly accessing without my dad taken notice was running dry I needed a new source or I would have to go home..
Jay was working but his income won't be able to accommodate my lifestyle.

Jay

I left out early for work today. I just needed some time to clear my head or to think about Choice.

I know it's been two years and am with her friend now and we are a family but I can't get over the fact that I killed her.
I miss you Choice! I sat in my car in front of the ice cream parlor where I always take JT for ice cream and I cried.
I should have just kill myself too, how do I live knowing that she died because of me?
As I sat there weeping endlessly I saw this girl making her way into the ice cream parlor.
I wasn't sure if I was seeing things but that looked like , no it can't be.

Her hair was long,black and silky  and she was thick like grandma's Sunday stew.
I immediately wipe my eyes and waited for her to exit the building.
She came out in less than fifteen minutes and only God himself could tell me that this was not my girl Choice.

She came to a stop at one of the many umbrella chairs they had outside.
I watched as she finish her cone absent minded staring off into space.I got out my car and walked the small distance to where she was and took a the chair across from her.
I was there for a whole minute before she notice me but when she did it was as if I was a ghost. She looked really shocked.
"Am sorry I said but you just resemble a girl I use to know" I was getting up to walked away but then she spoke " What was her name?" She asked.
"Choice" I answered back.

Choice

I must be fucking dreaming I couldn't believe my eyes how the hell did Jay get here? He was dead!
"Am sorry"  he said "but you just resemble a girl I use to know" he was getting up to walked away but then I spoke.
" What was her name?"
"Choice"
Oh god it was Jay it was my baby Jay but I couldn't give away anything I needed to know wtf was going on.

Tiff said he was dead but he was here  Jay was here oh God I want to touch him but not now compose yourself C I mentally scolded myself.
"What happened to her?"  I asked trying to gather information.
He looked real sad before he answered."She died" he said taking a really big gulp of breath like he was fighting to breathe.

"Two years ago I met her at a school function". He began "She was introduced to me by her friend Tiff and we just clicked after that but there was one problem she couldn't come see me as her mother wouldn't let her but I couldn't stand being away from her so I got angry and broke up with her. The funny thing she couldn't stand the break up and she committed suicide".

By now he was crying I couldn't stand to see him in tears so I held is hand but I needed to hear the rest of this." I am so sorry to hear all this but if you couldn't see her how did you know she died?"

"I wanted to apologize so I called her phone and somebody answered and said I was the reason their baby girl committed suicide. I then called Tiff to confirm it and she said it was true".

That bitch!!!!!! Why would Tiff tell him that?
