"Girl when are you gonna get a man?" I sigh getting annoyed by her question that she asked for the seventh time this week. "For the last time I don't need a man." I rolled my eyes cleaning the tables getting every spot. "Girl. You say that all the time! You need a man ain't that right Ronna?" She turned around rolling her neck "mhm girl. You do. When you gonna settle down and let a man ease on up in there?" I gasp throwing a rag at her while they laugh like hyenas "Y'all are terrible." Jackie comes into the store smiling at Lore before walking up to her. "Mhm there's my man." I rolled my eyes while they devour each other faces "Damn get a room." She rolled her eyes at me "we're in one." Sarcasm. "Hey baby when you getting off?" She checked her watch looking up at him again "Now. Eyla I see you tomorrow!" She walked out hand and hand with Jackie leaving the store. "Honey you need somebody." Ronna walked away. I sigh shrugging off the subject and getting ready to leave.

After eating and taking a nice hot bath. I got out my journal and began writing..

Journal...
Day1
Another regular night.. Alone in this big ole home that's been passed down from my great great grandmama, to my great grandma and my grandma to my mother and finally me. No parents here.. No siblings.. All on my own. Remembering that day my mother tried selling the house. I wouldn't let her. I couldn't let her. It something my family treasured for generations. Trying to convince her to let me keep the house. It took me two weeks to get her approval. Staying in the middle of the floor not getting up for nothing or no one.. Till she finally had approve for me to keep the house.. Now. I feel like all my ancestors talk to me through this house. Keep me safe in this house.. I know crazy right? Just knowing it might be the same all my life through this house.. Another. Lonely. Night.

I closed my journal putting in my night stand draw then closing it. I get under my comfy thick covers snuggling with my pillow. To get ready for another normal day.
