The Price of Loyalty
John and his wife Lisa had been married for five years now. They were once the happiest couple, but one-night things had started to take a turn for the worst. John had wanted to get out the house and be a part of the nightlife club scene and would go there every once and while.
Lisa hated the club scene, and she would never go there, but every time John left for the store he ended up at the club, she couldn't help but wonder where he was and what he was and how what he was doing.
One Saturday evening, John left to go to the store and never returned for as usual, and Lisa went outside decided to see what he was up to. He wasn’t there she called his name several times no answer so she got dressed and got into her car, but before she could pull out, she saw John's best friend, Tony, walking towards her.
"Hey Lisa, what's up?" Tony asked, noticing the worried look on Lisa's face.
Tony, have you seen John? Tony says Lisa I was going to ask you to same thing. Lisa says Tony were is John she asked, handing him a five-dollar bill.
Tony took the money, "Yeah, uhh uhhh I saw him earlier, he's at the club."
Lisa couldn't believe what Tony just said, she told Tony to get in the car and give her the directions to the club, she parked her car, and walked inside.
The music was blasting, and the smell musky the air. Lisa looked around and saw John dancing with a woman she had never she never seen before. She stormed towards him and pulled him away from the woman.
"Lisa, what are you doing here?" John slurred, smelling of alcohol.
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?" Lisa shouted, as she pushed him towards the exit.
As they were walking towards the exit, Tony saw them and shouted, "My fault man she bribed me with $5 dollars, and I didn’t have any money and that 5 was look at the time. John says “What 5 you mean to tell she gave you $5, and you snitched me out. man, I would hate to see if someone was looking for your mama no telling what you would do.
A group of women and men, who were on the dance floor were offended by the way Lisa busted through the crowd rushing towards John. One man said something derogatory, about John’s wife with no hesitation a brawl broke out. Lisa John and Tony was stuck in the middle of it all, going toe for toe blow for blow. Till the club bouncers came to break it up with pepper spray.
After the fight was over Lisa, John and Tony made it home alive, John and Lisa nursing their injuries. They both knew they had a lot to talk about now, but for the rest of night, they just sat there in silence, staring and smiling at each other. As for Tony, poor guy John told him he would deal with him in morning. Now get out!
From that night on, John goes to the store and comes back home and stopped going to the club and tried to focus more on his marriage with Lisa. They had a lot of work to do, but they knew one thing they had each other backs through good times and bad times.
