SUNDAY OCTOBER 31ST (ik big time skip) BIRMINGHAM, AL JESHAWN POV:
"Happy 2 year anniversary baby," I said kissing her on the cheek. I had already been up for about 30 minutes. She was just waking up.
"Happy 2 year anniversary." "Slept good?" "I guess so." I hummed.
Past couple of days been really down. Well Ari been really down. She had been down since the attempt tho.
She seemed more down lately. As far as the counselor, nothing really improved. She says he brings her to his office twice a week to talk to her.
She said it be harmless talks but the way he looks at her and constantly touches her after she says she doesn't want to be touched makes it uncomfortable.
Each time she tells me, she tells me she sorry. Ion get why. It's not her fault and never will be.
He supposed to be dead anyways but Ari said no. I sorta brought it up to her.
*FLASHBACK*
"I'm sorry I tried to get out but he locked the door. He always locks the door. He keeps me confined in the space," she said crying.
This had to be like the 4th time she cried today. I hated seeing her this way I truly did. It hurt me deep but I gotta be strong for her.
"It's okay I told you it ain yo fault and never will be." "But I didn't escape." "And that's okay. You did the best anybody could do."
"Maybe I should just give up and leave here." "No baby that's not the solution." "But nothing is going good anymore."
"I know. Life ain't just rainbows tho baby it's rain too. It's gon get better. Yk rainbows come after rain." Ari likes rainbows. I always said some about em when she felt bad.
"Okay," she sniffled. "Stop crying baby." "Okay." She wiped her face. "You want me to kill him?"
I asked real sudden and real calm. "No then you gon leave me." "No I'm not." "What if they catch you and put you in jail? Then I'll be all alone."
"They not gon catch me baby ima make sure." "I don't want you to go." She started crying again and it was harder this time. Fuck.
I felt bad. I ain mean to make her cry. "No no no don't cry okay I won't do it. Ian going no where ima stay here okay? I won't even go to kitchen ima stay here." "Okay."
She sniffled again. Dawg this shit was hurting me. I was tense.
Ima try my hardest to listen.
*FLASHBACK OVER*
That was a week ago. I'm still tense bout it. I'm hesitating on it.
If I do it ima end of telling Ari. When ion tell her shit, it eat me up inside. That's why ion keep stuff from her.
