Promise.

Still In Love

Sariyah

The harsh morning sun beamed in my face causing my eyes to flutter open. My head was pounding and I had to take a minute to process the dream I just had.

In my dream I had cheated on Diggy with Ron. I don't know why, that is just something I would never do, but my dream did tell me the truth. My dream told me that I do still love Ron, and yes I am still hurting but now it is up to Daniel to heal all my internal scars from Ron and I's relationship.

I finally sat up and looked to my left seeing Joy laying down tightly clutching onto her teddy bear while she slept. I smiled slyly and got up and did my morning routine before Joy woke up.

Today was the day we were both getting on a plane and heading to New Jersey.

I splashed water on my face and looked up into the mirror and sighed.

"Mom?" I heard Joy whine from my bedroom. I scoffed and wiped my face down then went back into my bedroom.

"Good morning baby" I plopped down next to Joy and kissed her cheek.

"I'm hungry" We both said at the he same time. We looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

I already knew those two words would come out of her mouth, as she tells me every morning.

As I got up to go get Joy something to eat. I had this strange feeling in my stomach... Something just didn't feel right. Something was wrong. I shook it off and continued my journey to the kitchen.

I chopped up some strawberries, and mixed them in a small bowl with raspberries, blueberries, and pomegranate seeds. I then sprayed whipped cream on top. Grabbing a glass out of a cabinet I poured cold water into the cup. Now, grabbing the skillet off the stove and placed the French toast on a plate, setting aside some syrup.

"Joy come eat!" I hollered. I turned on the TV and went to Netflix and put on the movie The Princess and The Frog, Joy's favorite movie. Joy came running in and climbed on top of the kitchen stool and began to eat. I left the kitchen and finished packing our stuff for our flight this afternoon.

When I got into my bed room I checked my phone. "That's weird" I mumbled to myself.

No text from Diggy. Which was unusual. I hope he wasn't mad at me, that could be the only reason why he wouldn't shoot me a quick little good morning text.

He's already got me spoiled enough, so I took it upon myself and texted him.

Me: Morning Dwayne 😘 Flight leaves in 2 hours. Can't wait to see you. Love you 💕

The screen darkened and I put my phone down.

Since there was wifi on the plane, I texted Diggy multiple times when we would be arriving. The plane landed and Joy and I got our stuff, then started to look for Diggy. Instead we came across Perry.

"Uncle Perry!" Joy shouted and ran towards him hugging him around his knees.

"Hey niece!" He picked her up then walked towards me.

Perry wrapped his arm around me and walked me to the Airport exit.
"Where's Diggy?"

"In the hospital."

"What!?"

Another thing my dream didn't lie about, that Diggy wasn't okay. I knew this morning when he didn't text me good morning something was wrong.

"Yeah, he got real dehydrated this morning"

"Why didn't anyone tell me"

"He didn't wanna worry you. You know, spending extra money to get an earlier flight"
