Wishing

February 2013

  At this time in New Orleans Jas was out of school for Mardi Gras break, and her family visited Tennessee to see her dad's side of the family. She's been back and fourth since hurricane Katrina happened. Jaismyn was 15 when her grandmother prayed for her like this. Zeke, Jaismyn's grandfather, was extremely ill from liver cancer. And that's what made this visit so important, but Jas was didn't understand of the severity of this trip.

"lord please watch over my grand baby. Please let me be there for her even if I won't be able to help her out. Let her fall under the wings of her guardian angel, her protector. Help her make nothing but positive decisions in her life, even in relationships lord. Don't allow my baby to be too gullible and let a young man hurt her, use her, or even abuse her love." Mildred Jaismyn's grandmother prayed.

*Jaismyn's POV*

"Earlier that evening grandma was on some heartless stuff. I have never seen her act so cold." She began telling her best friend Shante. 

"Like I almost smacked the sugar honey iced tea out of her mouth, if you know what I mean." They both shared in laughter. 

"What she did for you to feel like that best?" Asked Shante. 

"Okay, girl you know how my grandpa has been sick? Well, when all of my family was at the house talking about how we know grandpa is a OG he gonna pull through. This dust bag was like 'no he not, he gonna die'." I said trying to hold back my anger, confusion,and sadness. I couldn't grasp why she was so heartless to this situation honestly.

"Damn Jas, I don't know how you held yourself, you know how that bad ass attitude is..." She replied 

"yea yea I know but goodnight." I said quickly rushing her off the phone. 

So at this time I met this guy named Curtis. Curtis was in the tenth grade where as I was in the ninth, but he is a few months older than me. Boy! A ladies man is an understatement, he gets more ass than a toilet seat, and when I tell you he is so fine! I'm super close to his cousin which is how we began following each other on Instagram. Initially it was just a joke for us to flirt but he know he wasn't joking the whole time. But when he realized I'm not like the other girls he fool around with his plans for me changed and I became his best friend.
