Dawn

A week later...

"Hey mommy" I greeted my mother kissing her cheek. She was in the kitchen fixing herself some lunch.

"Hey beautiful. You want me to fix you something while I'm fixing myself lunch?" She asked me. My mother was always looking out for me and Marcel. She was very beautiful on the inside and out. Just being in her presence is uplifting

I shook my head and watched her fix a sandwich she started to hum and I just sat there thinking. Today was the day that I had to send Anthony my final letter or I assume my final letter. It was five pages long and me just pouring my heart out to him. I also attached some recent pictures of myself.

"Tell mama what's wrong?" She asked me placing the butter knife down and putting the mayonnaise away.

I started to break down immediately which made her come and comfort me.

"Is this about you secretly dating Anthony?" I stared at her perplexed that she knew. I was beyond speechless now. She went back to fixing her sandwich and the room became silent. "Or is this because you're stripping?"

"Maaa I was going to tell you..."

"It took you five years to finally tell me? What did it take?" She asked looking at me with disappointment in her eyes.

"Wait how did you know? Moniece told you?" No one knew other than Moniece but I didn't tell her until a year ago.

"No I found that album of all the letters you two have been sending back and forth the year after you graduated. I went in your room looking for my red sweater and of course your closet is always packed and junky. My sweater was wrapped in the album and of course I just wanted to be nosy so I opened it and came across them letters. Destiney? Really? You couldn't use a different name or yours. I'm hurt that you never told me about it because I could've helped you make better choices. I was mad but I let it go so that you can learn on your own. What I am mad about is that I had to hear from Moniece that you're stripping and before you go being a bitch towards her she only told me because one night you didn't call her and she got worried."

I remained quite because I didn't know what to say. My mother was hurt and I could tell she was pissed by the way she was talking.

"Did you tell him?"

"I wrote the letter yesterday but haven't got the courage to send it yet"

"No he deserves a face to face meeting. I guess you need to drive up this tonight and tell him tomorrow."

"Mama I don't know about all of that. He probably try to kill me."

"Who gone kill you?" Marcel asked walking in. I swear he knew how to pop up at the wrong times.

"No one" I mumbled.

"Anthony. Remember you told me Ant was in love with some Destiny chick?" My mother started to spill so I slowly walked towards the living room.

"Yea why?" He asked.

"mmmmmmmm" My mother hummed and I walked faster.

"Oh hell no. Dawn bring your ass here right now!" He demanded finally catching on but I just walked straight out of the front door.
