I sat down at a table with Jonnie rubbing her stomach, I was helping her stay calm she's been hype since what happened at the courthouse and I didn't want her to stress too much that she went into labor early. I wanted my nephew to make it here safely.
"Breathe Jonnie." I said as she cried, I didn't realize how much this shit was taking a toll on her. This was here family too and it was just all falling apart. So not only do you have to think about Javen, but you have to think about Jonnie too.
Somebody sat down and we seen it was they mama. She looked at us making me sigh.
"Why mama?" Things were silent for a moment until she finally spoke up.
"Because, I overheard Jamere talking about he wasn't going to let you do it because you had too much you would be leaving behind. The only thing I want for every single of you, is to live your life until God takes you away." I shook my head.
"I knew what I was doing-"
"But Kentrell did you actually know what you were doing? Baby you were only going to do this for revenge, which is understandable because so was I. But this difference between if you would have did it versus me is you would've been leaving behind the people who need you most. Y'all don't need me, you might want me around but y'all don't need me. Y'all need each other and need to be there for each other. Especially with the hurt that's about to be brought when Javen passes God forbid it be soon."
"I did this for y'all, so y'all could continue to live your lives. I'm going to be ok. Don't worry about me. Y'all can write letters, call or some see me. Just know I'll be fine and you can keep me updated." She smiled getting up and I reached my hand out to grab her arm.
"Wait mama, give me some advice. Please. What am I suppose to do after Javen passes?"
"Pray, and be strong. Don't give up. Continuing to fight and be great. Take time to heal. Enjoy every month, week, day, hour and second with her while you can. Make memories while you can. Forgive while you can. Talk while you can. Reminisce while you can. Give your kids the best time with both of their parents while you can. Just do whatever while you can. Enjoy life."
She had a smile on her face which made me a little scared.
"Mama why you smiling? It seems like you happy, calm like. I find that weird being that you're in jail." She sighed.
"Kentrell I'm at peace. That man has put me and my kids through so much, all he's done to them was because of me. Because I wouldn't take him back after all he did. He lied to my kids, manipulated me into to giving Jamere up for adoption and more. But now, he's gone. Forever. I'm free. This is freedom, and when there's freedom there's peace. I'm good, especially since I was the one who got to kill him. Revenge at its finest. This is the best feeling. I feel great. I'm going to be ok, so don't worry about me."
