"...No woman should fear the person who's supposed to protect and love her most."

I got to Miami at 8:46 a.m.

After putting the pieces together I dropped everything and packed a bag racing to Miami by car. Some may say what I was doing is foolish but I need clarification. I couldn't keep living my life in fear and the only way that I could be happy was to get Jodi to let me go. He obviously still thought we were in a relationship still and I
couldn't have him possibly get out and come looking for me.

I got to the prison praying that they were accepting visitors because this had to be done today. I hoped this visit was useful and that I got Jodi to understand that we're toxic for eachother. I did love him at a point but he hurt me to the point of no return. I put up with shit no woman should have to go through and now I respect myself enough to know that I didn't deserve that.

I walked in the prison wearing a blue and white Nike windbreaker gray sweats and white huraches. My hair was in a tight bun at the top of my head and determination was written on my face.

Just knowing I was in the same building as Jodi and would be face to face with him soon gave me chills. I was scared as hell but I knew that this would be over soon.

After being searched and processed I was in the visiting room waiting for Jodi to arrive. My leg bounced in anticipation and I was just ready to get this over with.

I was looking towards the door that the inmates came out of and then I saw him. His handsome face wore a scowl I'm assuming because of the rough grip the guard had on his arm. He didn't see me at first as a matter of fact he was about to walk passed my table until the guard pulled him back. When he looked down to me a joyous smile spread across his face showcasing his pearly white teeth that usually had grills in them and he looked a lot less intimidating. He shrugged his arm away from the guard and sat down as the guards walked away giving us privacy.

"Jayde." He smiled touching my face causing me to flinch a little.

"Hey." I said smiling small not wanting him to get too comfortable.

"Wassup? I missed you baby you look good." He said reaching out to grab my hand and as much as I wanted to let him I couldn't.

Jodi had a spell over me. Whenever he was around Id melt under his touch or I'd want to kiss him and I'd fall right back in love if I let myself. But I wouldn't today.

"What so I can't touch what's mine now?" He said frowning.

"I'm not your's anymore Jodi." I said barely above a whisper and I looked down. I could feel his eyes penetrating my face but I couldn't look at him right now.

"What you said?" His jaws was clenched and I mentally talked to myself telling me not to fear him he couldn't hurt me anymore. I looked up.

"I'm not your's anymore Jodi I've moved on and you need to let me go and do the same."

"You think this shit a game huh Jayde? When I told you not to give away what's mine I meant that shit. When your family treated you like shit I was there for you. You and your pussy ass brother. I took you I brought you a nice house that I let you choose and I gave you every fucking thing you wanted and needed and same goes for Samuel. So you wanted me when I was giving you the fucking world but now you don't want me when I'm locked up?"

"That's not it Jodi." I said shaking my head trying to hold back tears.

"You hit me. You kicked me you punched me you threw me against walls and onto the floor. You threw knifes at me you choked me...you killed my baby. And after all of that I loved you because I saw the good in you and I told myself you'd change but you didn't. I felt so ugly and so low when I was with you. I put up with everything you put me through because I thought no one would want me because you took away every ounce of confidence I had so I stayed. No woman should fear the person who's supposed to protect and love her most." He sat quietly with his head in his hands thinking. I thought I had gotten to him because he looked sympathetic but I was wrong.

"You need to let me go Jodi...I really did love you."

"Did? What nigga done got into your head Alijah?" I stayed quiet and that gave him the answer that I had been with someone else.

"You been with another nigga?" He said with anger dripping from his voice.

"You gave another nigga my pussy?" He said as I looked away not wanting to answer because of his sudden mood change.

"Answer me!" He yelled causing me to jump and a few guards to become alert. Jodi looked around and calmed down as the guards left it alone.

"You know I'm starting to believe Terrance when he said you set me up but I'll tell you this. You belong to me Jayde I made you and when I find that nigga you been fucking with Ima kill him and make you watch. I'll be out soon." He leaned over kissing away the year that had rolled down my cheek.

"I love you." He said about to walk away.

"Tell Kadai I said come visit. I miss my cousin." He said with a cold look on his face before walking away leaving my heart racing.

I got up dizzy as ever and left. I was supposed to be leaving here feeling better but he still found a way to make me feel shitty as fuck.

I got in my car and sat my head on the stirring wheel thinking. I was confused and I regretted coming here because I was beginning to feel better about my life and now I wanted to fall in a hole. I wanted to be with Masiah and just forget about everything for a while but I couldn't right now. I had gotten an hotel just incase they weren't accepting visitors but now I was gonna use it because I couldn't drive all the way to back to Georgia in this condition. I looked at my phone before pulling off seeing at had 7 missed calls from Sammie, 4 from Joy, 5 from Ciara, 9 from Masiah, and 10 from Taj. I knew they would be worried sick but if I talked to them right now I'd just break down and they'd worry more.

I pulled up to the hotel about 30 minutes later and was just ready to go to sleep. I was tired.

After getting my key I got into the elevator and was surprised at who got on with me.

"Jayde?" Honey said smiling at me but I knew better than to believe everything was all good with us.

"Hey Honey...what are you doing here?"

"Visiting a friend...you?"

"The same." I said closing my eyes and putting my head on the back of the elevator.

"You know who's down here? Jodi." She said answering her own question and I nodded rolling my eyes looking at the slow numbers of the elevator increasing.

"You visiting him?" The elevator stopped at the 20th floor and I got out without saying anything to her nosey ass.

"Bye Jayde." She yelled after me and I just kept walking.

Getting inside my hotel room I got on my bed and went straight to sleep.

"Why the fuck y'all sitting around and Jayde is missing man?!" I yelled as everyone sat in Taj's living room waiting for a call from Jayde.

She had been. Missing since yesterday and I just needed to know she was alright. It wasn't like her to just run off without calling somebody and I knew something was wrong.

"We looked everywhere and Taj got people looking but we coming up short." Sammie said rubbing the back of his neck.

"We gonna find her Masiah just relax." Joy said rubbing my back and I nodded sitting down.

I just hoped she was alright. I just got her and I couldn't lose her right now.
