Chapter 2: Statute of Balance
Police, "In all cases it's all about the statute of balance when dealing with justice. There's a scale and it's often thrown off with lies and hiding the facts that can help being things to justice."
Roman, "You say that to say what?"
Police, "Is there anything you want to tell me? Because if Miss Varnado wakes up and tells us any different you will be charged for accessory of attempted murder and murder."
Roman, "There's nothing." The policeman looked at Roman for a brief moment and released him.
At this point Mercedes was on life support and they're hoping for the best. Kameren and Roman haven't talked in three days since the wedding incident and he's becoming worried and his patience wearing thin.
Three Hours Later...
Roman is sitting down in a dark bar and a girl comes in with a scarf around her head and mouth as she goes in slow motion over to the table where Roman sat. She sit down and remove her shades and takes a sip of her waiting drink.
Roman, "So?"
Reina, "I missed you. So you run off, fall in love and just forget about me."
Roman, "Babygirl---
Reina, "Don't call me that."
Roman, "You know that's not true."
Reina, "You didn't call or text or anything."
Roman, "You made it perfectly clear that you didn't want us to be together anymore a month before I left. I loved you with everything and tried my damnest to give you all you wanted and needed. What more could I have done?"
Reina, "Babe, you knew money and material wasn't want I wanted or needed. I wanted my man to spend time looking in my eyes, holding my hand, take trips to the park, kiss me, hold me and screw me into lala land but you spent time working, training and doing sports."
Roman, "And of you felt that was all I cared about why didn't you just go bang a hobo with mad time to spare."
Reina threw the drink in Roman's face and he caught her by her wrist.
Reina, "Let me go Joseph."
Roman, "Re hold up. I didn't mean it okay. All of this just have caught me off guard and I'm guarded and on top of that I'm being asked by the police about who and what... I just need to know and I need you to understand that you need to go back into rehabilitation."
Reina, "No! You forgot all about me! You erased me from you memory as if I was nothing!"
Roman, "Calm down."
Reina screams and stabs the table with a knife with it landed in between his spreaded hand and she storms out. Roman goes after her but she darts out in front of traffic running away.

Three days later leaving him thinking the worse about his friend and worried about his ex and just hoping Mercedes will make it through one more tragic. Dallas was dead, poor Dallas, just a young puppy and as far as everyone knew Randy was dead. And if Randy wasn't the shooter than who was?
Roman sat reminiscing on him and Mercedes relationship good and bad trails when his doorbell rung. He answered....
Reina, "Hi."
Roman, "Reina I'm not playing these games with you and its definitely not okay the stunt you pulled at my wedding."
Reina, "I'm sorry about hurting her but I just cant stop loving you."
Roman, "What about Kameren? She's been my best friend before now and I fell in love with her too."
Reina, "You're public news and I've heard about you and Mercedes' relationship. She doesn't deserve you!"
Roman, "But you're looking at then and not now and all relationships have their trails and struggles but you never answered my question."
Reina, "I have to go now."
Roman, "But I'm not done. People come back and expect that people is going to allow them to turn their lives upside down than leave, being cowards, don't come face-to-face but plan sneak attacks. Her dead doesn't make my heart fond of you. Her dead doesn't mean I'll run back to you. Understand and hear me."
Reina, "You don't love me?"
This is where Roman starts thinking what to say, truth is, he did. Old feelings were rushing back and even though he tried to chop it up to just seeing and old memories, there was something bout her.
Roman, "The point is the balance of right and wrong is thrown off and it think its only fair I make it right."
All of a sudden a huge thud happen. Reina looks down at her hand where she have been cut with the small glass trophy as well. It was the same glass trophy she all of a sudden knocked Roman in the head with. She backed away and left him there unconscious as blood poured from the side of his head.
