Me and my husband Drew are about to be on our way to the repast at Mama Carol's house after leaving the mortuary memorial service for Tamela at the cemetery.
We don't intend to stay for eating like everyone else I just wanted to pay my respects to Tamela's family.I couldn't bare viewing Tamela's body so me and Drew stayed in the back and easily headed out.
I feel like I killed her.My fiancé Drew tells me not to blame myself because Tamela's suicide wasn't any fault of mine but I just know it is.At first I assumed it wasn't until Tamela's sister Yvette who is the only one who doesn't blame me for her death but her mental illness told me that she shot herself with my wedding invitation laying beside her.
We pulled up to the house and saw a limousine,other people's cars with people standing outside.
Before I could get out Drew ran towards my side to open my door,such a gentleman.
He held his hand out for me.
"Thank you baby."I said
"Of course love."He smiled
We walked up the sidewalk and some folk started shaking their heads gossiping,these folk were close friends and family who I've met.The same thing happened when we entered the house,it just got dead silent.
Yvette broke the silence.
"Hey Karen it's good to see you sweetie,thank you for coming."She pulled me into a hug
"Hey Yvette,it's good seeing you too,I refused not to come."
She put on an a smile for me but I could read the pain.
She looked at Drew.
"Who do we have here?"She asked
"I'm sorry,this is Drew my fiancé."I said which made her smile seem now forced but she shook it off
"Nice to meet you Drew,I'm Tamela's big sister Yvette."
"Nice to meet you as well,I am deeply sorry for your loss."He spoke
"Thank you."She replied
"Where is Mama Carol?"I asked
"She's in the kitchen."She pointed
Something in me is saying this visit won't be so friendly.
"Babe,I'll be right back."
"You sure you don't want me to go with you?"He asked
"No babe,I'm fine.I'll only be a minute."I pecked his lips heading to the kitchen
The talking stopped between a few people and Mama Carol once I came in.Mama Carol stared daggers through me,with her shades lowered
"Mama Carol I'm so sorry."
I had to use this reference y'all😂

"I loved h-"My words were cut off by a surprising slap
It was so loud that Yvette and Drew came running in here from it.He checked on me to make sure I was okay
"Don't you dare say that love word when you didn't even give my babygirl a chance to finish getting well with professional help.By the looks of this plate of sloppy seconds standing beside you and that big engagement ring on your finger I'd say your love for my daughter was thrown out the window alongside her."
I held my cheek,crying.
"You don't understand-
"Get out."She said sternly and Yvette looked at me sympathetically as me and Drew left
It was my fault after all.
🥺Damn that was a bit hard to write.I hope y'all enjoyed.
What are y'all thinking?
Was Karen wrong for moving on so quick from Tamela although she promised she'd wait for her to get well as well as herself?
