"Was it just like you had before?"
I sat in the kitchen sitting at the table with my laptop in front of me sending out some emails. I yawn and look at the time to see it was now almost one in the morning.
I hear shuffling and heard my name being called and look to see my girlfriend April standing in the doorway with a tshirt and sweats on looking tired as ever.
"Imani come to bed you look tired and it's 1am." I look back down at my laptop and continue typing. "I know just let me finish these emails and I'll be there." She walks over and pulls the laptop back from me, gently closing it.
"Imani come to bed. You have a meeting to go to in a couple hours you need to get some rest. You can finish these emails later." I huff and get up coming from around the table.
"Fine, you're lucky I can hardly keep my eyes open." She lightly laughs throwing her arm around my shoulder as we walk to our bedroom together. Me and April had been together for a year now and just moved in together.
We got a condo apartment that was pretty spacey but I didn't mind it since the place was nice. I met her two years back not long after the incident with Billie had happened and she ended up taking every charge for me.
I begged her not to but it was no use. They found my dads body in the septic tank and when they questioned me I told them about all the abuse and how I was just trying to protect myself the last time he choked me.
They ruled it as manslaughter since I was trying to defend myself and it resulted in me killing him on accident making me do 5 months probation. Since then I haven't heard anything from Billie.
No calls, texts or even a note. It was like she had fallen off the face of the earth almost like she never existed. Something in me was scared to try and reach out and contact her so I never did. I sort of just told myself I needed to move on with life so that's what I did.
April works for a modeling agency so she helped me jumpstart my career. So far I've done campaigns for Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, good American and I have one for Balenciaga coming up soon.
My new life has brought a bit of attention to me and clearly a lot of money. I ended up selling my moms house not wanting to hold on to such a bad place. Since then that money along with the money from her will has just been sitting in my savings account untouched.
If I do spend any money it's only the money I get from campaigns or modeling events. My life's been a bit overwhelming recently since it's still taking me some time to get used to but it definitely isn't anything I can't handle.
