Dre's POV
--------------------------You don't just find love and live happily ever after. You have to fight you have to argue, there has to be flaws. But Ky is amazing. It feels too good to be true. Sometimes I have my doubts. But if you really think about it a person that has been hurt and heart broken so many times is only trying to find love. And they're gonna do whatever it takes to be happy.
Deep in thought I got dressed to go visit my grandmother who I haven't talked to in months. I know that seems heartless but she had Alzheimer's so she doesn't know who I am. She's my dad's mom. She calls me Gussie... her eldest daughter who died in a car accident back when my grandma was 32. It freaked me out but I got used to it.
"Okay mama I'm going to go visit grandma and from there I'm going to work. I love you guys." I kissed my mom and Drevon and left.
Finally I'm off bed rest which seemed like forever... I got sick of laying in that bed, I got sick of Ky babying me up, and I miss school. I'm weird yes buuuuuut I'm an independent girl I wanna do for myself and get my education.
I pulled into the old folks home and got out. It looked like a lot of people "left" since the last time I came.
"Hello, I'm here to see Beverly Ashton." I said to the blonde receptionist.
"Um hold on, one minute, What's the date of birth?." She said typing on her computer.
"Umm 06/23/1957." I said
"Ummm ma'am, this person checked out two weeks ago." She said looking concerned.
"How'd she check out? She doesn't even know where she is.... Did someone come get her?" I asked getting agitated
"No ma'am. As in checked out I mean she is deceased. It says she died two weeks ago. We contacted a man... Mr. Drevin Jackson. We informed him and he came and asked to get her cremated and left." She explained.
"Oh. Okay." I held in all my tears. As I walked out the door.
How could he? Why didn't he call? He knows how much I loved that lady man. The tears started to fall and down I went. In the middle of the parking lot I laid there crying my eyes out. Cars honked at me to move but my body didn't let me move. After a while a buff Hispanic man carried me to my car. I thanked him and sat there for what seemed like an hour.I left there still crying and went to work. Even though I felt horrible I did everything I had to do. People asked me if I was okay but I ignored them and went on about my business.
Finally I'm off. I don't wanna go home I wanna be alone. That's exactly why I put my phone on silent. I had 23 missed calls from Ky, 10 from my mom, and 8 text messages from Ky. I didn't bother calling back.
I drove till I couldn't drive anymore. I finally pulled over and they told me I was in clear water fl. I had been driving for 3 hours so that means im 3 hours away from Miami. This would give me the opportunity to get my head together. I couldn't face my family or Ky. I wasn't ready.
Learning that my grandmother, the lady who knew I was gay before I ever told anyone, the Lady who let me cry to her when my parents didn't accept me, the Lady who saved me from my uncle the day he tried to rape me. My heart hurt so bad. Even though I wanted my space I had to let Ky know Im okay cause I know she's worried. I decided to cheek into a hotel and call her from the hotel phone.
*Her: Hello?
I could hear the sobs in her voice. I sat quiet until she was about to hang up.
*Me: Ky
*Her: Baby where are you!?
*Me: I'm ok Ky. Don't worry about where I am. I just need some space right now.
*Her: No baby I'm sorry for whatever I did please come home or to my house. Your mom is scared. I don't know what to do.
*Me: You didn't do anything Ky. I'll explain everything tomorrow. If I come home. I love you.
*Her: If?! Baby no you have to come back please. I'd die Without you I need you..
*Me: I gotta go Ky. I love you.
*Her: No baby please no don't go!I hung up. Ky knows I love her but she just has to understand that Im going through alot right now. I know Im acting selfish right now but I need space.
