Diary of A Broken Woman

Chapter 27

Dear Diary,

I'm starting to see that Tremaine means a lot more to me than I know. This past week has showed me how much we mean to each other. Not communicating with each other effected us both. Not just me. I tried my hardest to play like I wasn't fazed about not ever seeing him again, but I was. Things does not seem right without Trey. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing though.

                                     Love,
                                         Miranda

I jumped a bit, watching the video of the police officer shooting this man multiple times. Each shot had my heart throbbing. Each shot made more tears build up in my eyes.

"Oh my god." I said, covering my mouth as the tears immediately escaped my eyes. The woman screaming in the background echoed through my ears making me cry even harder.

Seeing this video again had me hurting. I didn't even know this man, but I felt for him. Those police officers killed him for no reason. No reason what so ever. It was two men against one. They could've restrained him, but no. They take this mans life. He was a husband and a father. He had 5 kids to take care of, 5 kids that relies on him and this poor racist police officer just took his life with no second thought.

It hurt me to know that he didn't care. He didn't care what so ever about this man because if he did, he wouldn't have just shot him like that. He wouldn't have just took that man's life. He seen a black male and automatically seen him as a threat. The craziest part is he's suppose to be a cop, the authority. People that protect us! But yet he's just killing our people for no reason. It hurt my heart to see that the world has come to this. To know you can't even rely on the authority to protect you because they're trying to kill you as well.

"M, stop watching that video. Your going to make me cry again." Lissa uttered, fanning her eyes as a frown covered her face.

"I'm sorry, this video just hurts my heart." I stated honestly, wiping the tears from my face. This video aired days ago on the internet, but I was still stuck on it. That's how horrible this event was.

"M stop crying before you make me cry." Leah stated, pulling me in a hug. I sighed, continuing to wipe my face.

"I-Its just so scary to see this. It's scary to know that an officer will just take your life just like that, just because your a black male and they automatically see you as a threat."

"It's really messed up. They don't have a heart. They don't have a heart at all." Dani uttered, shaking her head. I let out a breath while shaking my head as well. This was sad. This all is truly sad.

"Girls stop crying. I hate to see y'all cry, y'all too pretty for this." Leah admitted with a pout, making us giggle. If only you could see us the day this video first aired. It took Trey to calm me down. I was hysterical. I couldn't stop crying.

"Good thing Mia's not here. She would've cried herself to sleep." I admitted, making them laugh again. They know that is the truth.

It was a Thursday and I felt so much better than last week. Everything was going good and smooth for once. Mia has went over to Drew's house to stay with him for a couple days. He said I could use a few days to myself and I was thankful for that even though  though I am missing Mia. I'll have her right back in a few days though.

Between Trey and I, things have been back to how they used to be and I'm honestly happy about that. This past week has been so horrible. I was glad to see things were back to normal.

My phone buzzed in my lap, making me look down at it. I immediately smiled seeing who it was. Speaking of my baby.
