It's been months since I cut myself off from Jahseh and honestly I'm doing okay.
I started to socialize more which has lead me to Travis.
He's a athlete with dreads, not someone I'd go for back in Florida.
I mean he's nice but I don't want to be in another relationship yet. So we just hang out and go places together.
Which is what I was currently doing, he'd invited me out for brunch so I went out to eat with him of course.
"You look so good" he told me making me blush.
"Stop" I mumbled looking down at my hands.
"You do, I like the new hair color too" he told me making my face even more red.
"Thank you" I spoke and he nodded.
"So how's school been going for you?" He asked making me look up at him.
"It's okay, I be a little stressed sometimes but otherwise it's fine" I shrugged and he nodded.
"What you be stressed about?" He asked me, starting to eat his food.
"Just everything in general, it's hard" I told him and he nodded.
"Why you don't ask me for help?" He asked making me raise an eyebrow so he chuckled.
"I can't help you?" He asked and I shrugged.
"It's just not what I expected you to say" I told him and he nodded.
"Well I want to be with you, I want to show you what I'm worth" he told me making me blush.
"You still want to be with me?" I asked him.
He nodded "even though you keep friend zoning me for whatever reason."
"I just need time to heal is all" I told him and he nodded.
"What happened for you to be in that state?" He asked me making me look back down.
"You don't have to answer me" he told me and I nodded.
"It's just a lot to explain I went through a lot in my past relationship" I told him and he nodded before reaching over the table and moving my head up.
"I don't like that" he told me making me nod.
"You don't want me to look down?" I asked and he shook his head.
"I want you to be comfortable and confident around me. The 2 C's we'll have to work on" he told me making my heart skip.
The things he said to me were always sweet. It almost scares me, like it's too good to be true. I just feel like there's no way that after dealing with Jahseh for years someone like Travis falls right into my lap. Just doesn't seem right.
After we ate our food we talked some more and he dropped me off at my apartment.
Going inside I sighed and started to take off my shoes and clothes before my phone started to ring. I checked to see if I recognized the number but I didn't making me roll my eyes but I answered it.
Jahseh hasn't been messing with since a couple of months ago so I'm not too worried about it being him but if it was it wouldn't completely surprise me.
"Hello?" I spoke into the phone.
"Hola mija" I heard my mothers voice making my jaw drop.
"Mamí?" I spoke back, sitting myself down.
She giggled a little "yes it's me" she spoke which made me suck my teeth.
"Where have you been? You've abandoned me" I told her and she sighed.
"I didn't abandon you I just couldn't help you" she explained.
"Wait are you still with Jahseh?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No" I told her, hearing her sigh.
"I was so scared you wouldn't make it out of that alive" she told me making me furrow my eyebrows.
"So you just abandoned me and stopped talking to me?" I asked her.
"What else was there for me to do? You listened to nothing I told you and you started to put me in danger also by not listening so I let you go" she told me.
I shook my head "I needed you" I told her.
"I tried to be there mija repeatedly but there was no point, the most help I could do was to send that video in and you still dropped his charges" she told me and I nodded.
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of that mamí."
