Me and Michael had gotten into my car and drove to his house. He went inside, came out 5 minutes later with a duffle bag full of clothes and got into his car. He drove behind me on our way back to my place. After we both got out of our cars in my driveway, something had clicked, a light bulb had gone off in my head and i can see in his eyes the same one had gone off. Our lips had met for the first time, there was a spark that i had never felt before.

 The one i was looking for was in front of me the whole time. After our lips had departed, I said " It's been you this whole time. All of the shitty relationships i had could've been avoided if I had found this spark sooner. I would've never been abused, I would've never had to suffer as much as I did if I had just opened my goddamn eyes." "I guess that makes me the Romeo to your Juliet." he had said " Except for the whole death thing...." I added as we walked inside. 

"My mom just texted me and told me Lonnie won't be here for a few days because his appointments and making sure he is mentally stable to see me again." the last time I saw Lonnie, he was hunched over my grandmother's body coated in blood. He had stabbed her to death in her sleep and since he had a mental disease they sent him to a mental hospital instead of prison so he could get help. I was only 6 when it happened. The following years i had gone through therapy without fully understanding what had happened. As i grew older i began to understand it all. I never knew if i could let him back into my life.  He spent 11 years locked away and just got out last year. Now in a few days, i reunite with my cousin for the first time in 12 years.
