THUG LIFE

A month later: Friday, February 1st, 10:34am

Everything has been goin good as hell if I say so myself. Since New Years our relationship has been stronger than ever and open then before. My family left the next day, and since then they've been blowing up Promise phone calling her almost everyday. I like the fact that my family love Promise just as much as I do. I brought one girl around before Promise and they hated her, but I understood. She was a gold digger and I ain even notice. That's one thing that I like about Promise, she had her own and even when she didn't she didn't ask me for a dollar. Even if I offered.

I woke up and didn't see Promsie next to me so I'm guessing she downstairs cookin like she do every morning now. I got up and went to the bathroom and did my bizness. I hopped in the shower right quick and washed my wash and brushed my teeth. I walked back in the room and got dressed. I walked downstairs and went in the kitchen and didn't see her. I checked my phone and seen her location was still on. I looked around and didn't see my keys no where.

"Naw" I shook my head and went to the window and didn't see my car. At least I know nobody came in here and took her. I called Rico and he answered.

"Yo"

"Yo I need a ride to see where Promise at"

"What you mean? You don't know where she at?"

"Naw man I woke up and she was gone bro. She took my car"

"You don't remember do you?" He asked. I scrunched my face on confusion.

"I should or sum?"

"Our pops birthday today and —"

"The day he passed" I sighed and wiped my hands down my face.

"Yeah bro. She always go to they grave site by herself. I just let her have her alone time"

I didn't completely forget. Everything was just going to so good it left my mind that this day had to come up for her. They mama was evil as fuck to kill they dad on his birthday, and faked her own death at that.

"Naw I gotta get there man I need to be there for her"

"Ight here I come"  I hung up the phone and ran back upstairs to grab my coat. I went back downstairs and about 15 minutes he pulled up. I went outside and hopped on the car.

"I can't believe I forgot about today"

"Don't even trip. She don't like talking about today"

"Why you ain with her?"

"Since she's been old enough to understand she like being there by herself. She would tell me that I couldn't hear what she was saying so I would just pull off and watch from a distance" he said and I nodded.

"Damn"  Promise was much stronger than what she give herself credit for.

"I was about to pick her up and take her but she said she had it. I still offered and she told me she wanted to be by herself this time"

we pulled up to the cemetery and I seen Promise sitting down with her hood on. He stopped and I got out. I looked over at Rico and he walked up to her. I didn't want to be a bother right now. I wanted them to have they moment to themselves.

Promise, 10:23am

"I miss you so much dad"

I wiped the tears that fell down my face as I put the pink roses on my grave. Ugh I hated today. He was taken from me by someone we both loved and adored. He will never see his grandchildren or me graduate. He will never walk me down the isle, or teach his grandkids how to ride a bike. He will never be here with me and that sucks. I know he told me that he will always be here for me and all I had to do was close my eyes but I needed him, here with me, right now.
