I woke up and wished my face trying to do anything that will distract me from thinking of....him.
I looked into the mirror and to my surprise I didn't cry,not yet but once I saw one of the pictures we had taken the tears just wanted to fall out.
I pulled it back quickly so that no one could suspect anything.
"Laila,what you want for breakfast"
"Uhh anything would be fine",
I shouted so that she could hear me while I was still in the bathroom.
I sat down on the bathroom looking at the picture as it brought back many memories I would rather forget than try to remember.
I kept looking at the photo until I felt a tear drop down on it leaving a mark making the paper wet.
A few of them followed up until I felt my tears crying and this time it wasn't drop for drop I was literally crying.
They kept flowing and wouldn't stop I just needed something to calm me down.
................................................................................ I felt her pull me in for a hug as she saw the vulnerability in my eyes and that's just when I lost it I just started crying into her chest while he patted my back.
We engaged in a warm,long and heartwarming hug as I kept on crying until I felt like stopping.
"You feeling better now?"
She asked looking down on me.
I just nodded my head feeling the tears stop but I didn't stop hugging her infact the hug went on longer than it was intended to.it just reminded me of when I was a kid and I would get hurt,she would always find a way to cheer me up.
"Grandma I just.......can't believe"
"Don't stress it girl,you k own he ain't worth it,baby it's ok"
I cried onto her shoulder as she sat me down on the chair.
"Baby once said by your mother
(Plz just roll with it)
"Boys should ruin lipstick not mascara"
"So if this heffa is stressin you why don't you break up with him."
I looked over to her.
"We are broken up that's the whole reason I'm crying."
"Oh,my I guess I'm getting old now,oh my"
I laughed at her sarcasm.
"Or maybe I was just not listening you see your grandma she be getting old I'm finally taking the grand in grandma seriously"
I smiled again laughing at her sarcasm.
"Anyway baby why don't you go out looking for someone else?"
"Then grandma it'll just be a rebound it won't really be love,it'll just be me trying to heal faster."
"Hmm stuck up aren't you?"
"But that's just how people are,I mean men they use you,use you until you're worn out then throw you away like you weren't worth anything ,one thing you should know is to never let no man get the best of you,you should know how to say no to them and in times like this you should never cry you should just.....focus on yourself look on the bright side....one person gone more space and more fun you gonna have."
"I've been telling you,having a relationship is stressful it's better you stay single",
I said drinking the hot chocolate she had made for me.
"Anyway thank you grandma but I still can't believe he did this even after everything I did for him...such a person what type of a guy does that?"
"That's the thing sweetheart he's a guy,a boy not a man a real man will never do that even if he ain't over 20 a real man is already matured no matter what the age is."
"Well If I was a boy I would have done so many things even if it was too much I would never treat my women like this."
"But sadly you aren't if only you were a boy"
"I would never take her for granted if I did I would apologize and swear to be a better man.
