A month felt like a year. My phone became a body part I couldn't live without, kept it at 100 percent and glued to my hip. I would be angry at whoever called my line if it wasn't East and it was NEVER East. I began to hear imaginary rings & vibrations and hop up checking my phone praying it was East and it was nobody. I would write paragraphs & delete it all. My thumb would hover over the button to call East but words just couldn't fix what I've created. I don't know how to make it right.
It's nothing I could do to prove to him that I loved him. That I cared. That I could be the woman he needs and not this selfish person he's seen.
I stayed with Kendra for a month. It was hard to see Kendra navigate without Deleon, even for a second. She would tell Angel "daddy is working" "daddy is busy". It was hell and I hated every minute of it. I stayed in the guest room and baby sat Angel whenever Kendra would begin to feel herself break down. Kendra & I took care of Angel but we tried to take care of each other too. Keep each other from breaking down. Deleon didn't call Kendra or ever come back to the house. Kendra & I were in limbo in our relationships. Were we with East & Deleon or weren't we? No money was taken out our accounts, nothing had changed but our communication.

She convinced me my relationship with East was done and that I "needed to move my shit before he did it for me." I fought against my better judgment cause I knew he wouldn't do that to me.
I click my parking garage button & it opens to my surprise. I park my car & do deep breaths. I take the elevator and head to my front door. Another surprise my key still works. I walk inside and it was cold..hallow..barron. Not a napkin or spoon left. My footsteps echoed throughout the apartment. Tears fell from my eyes and I wipe them harshly.
I walk into the bedroom and drop flat on my behind wailing a cry I haven't let out since my parents died. My hands shake against my face and my heart was in pain. I wasn't ready to let him go.
I pull myself together finally and drag myself through the kitchen. I lay my hand on the counter holding East's wedding ring. I gently lay it down biting hard on my lip. I had to let it go. I sigh walking over to my fridge and open it.
*GASP*
I pull a blue box out of the fridge and my hand was shaking. I open it & and
