Diamonds Aren't Perfect

A New Journey in Life🛣🚘

My Hometown just wasn't the same after Monti moved away. I found myself attracted to places and people that I knew weren't good for me. To where a situation occurred, and I had to move to Indiana with my Aunt Pee and finish high school there. The Idea at that moment was thrilling for me because I knew Auntie Pee was living lavish, but once I arrived to her home reality sunk in. I began to feel like I didn't belong. Not realizing that it was growth and maturity staring me in the face, telling me to get ready because it's about to be a bumpy ride. The first day there, I got a call from Nikki asking questions, checking up on me.

"Hey girl, how are things going? have you made it there yet?" asked Nikki.

"Hey girl, yes I arrived half an hour ago and I been unpacking bags out the car and getting myself situated in my new room." I said rumbling my words together while trying to catch my breath from walking up steps with my luggage.

"That's good, how are you feeling about the new change?" Nikki asked, seconds later expressing how she wished I would've moved with her. Instantly I began to think about Monti.

"Did you get a chance to talk to Monti?" I asked Nikki, waiting to hear some good news that can make me forget about being so far away from home.

Instead, she let me know she has not gotten the chance to but she ain't forgot. I couldn't get mad at her, because I already knew her and Monti didn't have a real close relationship. For some reason, I started feeling that lonely feeling and was ready to call it a night. So me and Nicki said our good nights and got off the phone. I grab myself some pajamas out of my suitcase and laid them out on the bed for when I got out of the shower. As the steaming hot water hit my body, I closed my eyes, and took a few deep breaths. I was so exhausted from that four and a half hour ride, that all I wanted to do was go to sleep.

When I was finished in the bathroom, I went down stairs to say goodnight to my dad and Aunt Pee as they sat, laughing and watching Sunday night football. I laid in my new bed, with the lights off and my eyes closed. Meanwhile, I had my headphones in my ears listening to r&b music, while feeling like I was about to fall into a deep sleep. After about an hour passed by, and I had done dozed off. My phone began to ring and it was a unfamiliar number calling.

For some reason I dread picking up the phone, but I answered and said "Hello". Then I heard the voice on the other end of the phone. Before I knew it my eyes were wide open, I was now halfway sitting up and smiling as if someone had told me I just won a surprise.

"Hey! Baby, I miss you. What are you doing?" Monti said, as if he was just as happy that I answered. And that he was able to hear my voice.

"I was sleep, but I'm woke now," I said, before we both burst out laughing.

"I heard you moved, how you feeling?" He said in a tone that I knew he was being caring.

"I'm adjusting, I need this get away to get myself together." I said, knowing in my heart I wanted to talk about why I don't hear from him. However, I didn't push it, I just let our natural thing happen. Which always led to us connecting and reminiscing about our past in our future together, at that time that's what I needed more than a fight. Although, I knew by our conversations that we were spiritually connected, I also, knew that it still wasn't enough and I wanted us to be together. As hours of us talking on the phone goes by, we decide to rap the conversation up.

"So, when the next time I'm gone hear from you?" I asked Curiously.

"Well, at the moment I don't have a phone. I'm using the people around me phones. So any chance I get to use somebody phone, I'm gone try to call you back." Said Monti.

We said our goodnights and I love you's before disconnecting our call. At that moment I knew that that might be the last time I hear from him again for a while, but I just couldn't understand why. Was it a girl friend? Was he running game? What ever it was, I knew I would know, if he don't call me again. Weeks went by, and like I figured I didn't hear from him but I talked to Nikki if not everyday, every other day. I also, knew I was ready to love again, and I had to start with my self. I had to wait for God to send my true love to me, that way I know that man is my true Prince Charming. That's something I would try to convince myself, to help get me through long days.
