Hidden Truths

**Decided to write this. Hope yall enjoy!

I walked up to the absolute most beautiful form of a human that I’d ever seen in my entire life. Her glow was amazing and she was completely flawless. I was looking at my angel, Jamiya. Her halo glowed gold proudly and her beautiful white gown was flowing down past her feet so graciously. The entire sight was just breath taking. I watched her as she floated to my bed side with that bright smile on her face. She sat beside me and I could feel the coolness that she carried with her which was more than an overwhelming feeling.

“Hey Sis. How are you?”

She spoke to me and as much as I wanted to speak back, her angelic voice took my voice away. Everything about this moment had me stuck because it seemed so unreal.

“I-I’m doing ok. Just taking care of my family and my home. I miss you so much Miya. Why did you leave me? ”

She put her soft hand on my face and I could feel her warmth... The warmth that I yearned for during the five years she was away from me.

“I didn’t want to leave you Ci and that’s what I came to tell you. I didn’t kill myself baby girl.”

I looked at her with a confused face, anxious for her to continue.

“What do you mean by that Miya?”

She took a deep breath and pulled her glasses off. She slightly paused before telling me the most shocking bit of information I’d ever received.

“Ci…” was the only word she said aloud and the rest she whispered to me. What she told me truly brought me to my knees. She tried her best to try to calm me down but someone started calling her and she had to leave. I followed her back to the corner of my bedroom where I saw her disappear to and just wept.

“Ci baby what’s wrong?”

I looked up into the sleep filled eyes of my husband as they quickly turned full of worry. I leapt into his arms and cried in his chest harder than I cried at Miya’s funeral.

“Baby you got to calm down. What is going on?” he said as he placed his hands on my face and wiped my tears with his thumbs. I sobbed a little more and eventually got to the point where I could tell him what happened.

“I-I saw Miya, Roc.”

He made a funny face at me which slightly irritated me.

“Baby it was probably just a dream. Let’s just go back to sl”

“No it wasn’t Roc! We need to go to Craig’s house right fuckin now!”

I screamed at him and began to raid my drawers for something to throw on. Roc tried his best to get me to stop but the amount of anger I had built up was greater than those huge arms of his. I threw on a pair of sweats, a hoodie, and pulled out my infamous pair of Jordan’s.

“Are you fucking serious right now?”

Roc asked me as he flew down the stairs behind me. He had no idea what I had going through my mind to do to this nigga Craig.

“Dead ass. Go get my children so I can take them to my mom’s house.”

We both turned around to go get the kids and packed them in the car. I hated to do this to them at 3 in the morning but this was going to be dealt with now and not later.

I walked up to Craig’s house and bammed on his door until he opened it. Roc looked so annoyed and I know he was mad at the way that I was acting but I didn’t give a fuck because either way, he’d live.

“Who the hell bangin on my door like that at 3 in the fuckin morning?”

I could hear Craig’s bitch ass ask from the other side of the door.

“Phyllicia bitch open this got damn door.”

I could hear the locks turning and that made my heart and blood race like crazy. I braced myself for the door to open.

“Why the fuck are you-”

I punched him in his face as soon as I saw it. Roc tried his best to get me off of him but he was failing. All five years of hurt that I had built up inside of me turned into complete rage.

“Ci you need to calm the fuck down!”

Roc said as he continued to struggle to get me off of Craig and Keke ended up coming downstairs followed by the kids.

“What the hell is going on down here?”

She said obviously pissed the fuck off. I sat down on the couch trying to catch my breath and calm down. I didn’t want my nieces to see me like this so I told them to go back to their rooms then I just broke down. Craig just stood next to Keke while Roc tried his best to comfort me.

After about 30 minutes or so, everything was calmed down and we were about to sit down like adults to talk about my episode.

“What is the problem, Ci? Please help me to understand why all of this happened.”

 “I know what you did.”

“Whose drugs are you on?”

“Are you fucking kidding me? Don’t try to make it seem like I’m crazy Craig. I know Miya didn’t kill herself and that you shoved that arsenic down her throat.”
