The Almost wedding! A tale of an unforgiving act

My alarm clock went off bright and early at 7 o’clock! Its a freaking Saturday and I have to be up early! Today is the day my cousin is getting married! Her and josh have been together for the longest time. Its about time he puts a ring on it! “ Raven” my mom yells. “Get up we have a big day planned” I walk downstairs sulking! “ you have a big day mother I don’t “ “ oh Raven marie lose the attitude” your cousin could really use your support today” yeah yeah i say “ there is a big secret that my couisn mandy had been keeping! Can she really still love josh after everything hes been doing and has done!!!

6 months earlier

“ Raven i have to tell you something please call me when you can”! My cousin mandy had left a voicemail on my phone! It was 30 seconds long what could she have possibly said in that amount of time! It was a cool crisp fall day. I was sitting outside under a tree because fall was my favorite season. I went to my voicemail and clicked on the play button! The voicemail said “ I cant give up!” Don’t give up!” My cousins voice sounded like she had been crying! I went to her name and click her number and sent her a text that said “ Im on my way over there” “ Don’t give up”! On the drive to mandys house I can’t help but think a bunch of negative and cruel things! Has josh been hitting her”! “ Is he having an affair “ “ Does he have an illness” my mind was all over the place! 30 minutes later I pulled into the drive of mandy’s beautiful suburban home! Her house is surrounded by the woodlines and has a couple of pounds around it! She has a bunch of animals! Everything including but not limited to Cows, horses, chickens, a dog and a cat and last but not least puffy the ball phython! I walked into the house ready to face whatever my cousin had to tell me! I just hope for josh’s sake that it don’t piss me off!

Mandy- Hey cuz

Me- hey mandy you ok? I ask

Mandy- raven I need to know that with what im about to tell you that you can’t tell anyone ever!!!

Me- what did he do mandy! I ask my face is already getting red and she can tell im getting upset!

Mandy- Raven I’m serious

Me Fucking tell me I yell!!!

Mandy- josh has been cheating on me for the last 2 yesrs and today I finally caught him! But it ended badly!

Me - what ended! What happened?

Mandy - I came home from work earlier and i heard noises coming from the bedroom she says! I noticed she’s crying and her hands are shaking!

Me- mandy its ok i say!!!

Mandy- josh had this bitch bent over the bed fucking her doggy style while saying he loved her!!!

Me- Im so sorry mandy i say grabbing her hand!

Mandy- The slut ran but josh didnt like that so he ran after me and was trying to hit me!

Me - oh god mandy No no he didnt

Mandy- he punched me several times in the face and kicked me so hard that i almost passed out

Me - sitting silently

Mandy- I blacked out and grabbed a knife i stabbed him 7 times until i saw all the blood soaking his shirt!!!

Me- Mandy omg is he ok! Are you going to jail!

Mandy- The cops came and questioned me but no im not doing any time in jail! I drove josh to the hospital! We got him settled in a room! The nurses came in started to wrap up his cuts! I looked back at him with the most serious face i could have had and said” Don’t Give up”
