Ebony's Journey, Macarevhic's Story

Ebony

My demeanor relaxes a little bit. I got my money I've been saving. Macarevhic could use it. I have to forgive him. I'm not an easy person to love, and he has put up a lot from me. I don't blame him for ignoring me. Sometimes I want to ignore myself. I get my safe from under the bed and I count three thousand dollars. This all of the money that I saved and money Arod had gave me. "Here." I hold it out to Macarevhic.

"What, Ebony no that's your money." "Look Macarevhic just take the money, because I don't want anything to happen to you, Abuela, or your mom. This could help you guys and if you want you can take it as a loan. Just please take the money, help your mom pay the bills."

He is really hesitant but I can see he's in no position to turn down the money. I don't mind giving it to him, because I love him. "He takes the money and put it in his pocket. I can see relief and shame in his eyes. Macarevhic has pride just like I do.

At least he doesn't turn down help all the time like I do. It's okay to have pride, but it's also okay to ask for help when you need it most. There is also something bothering me in my heart.

Soon, I will have to let Macarevhic go. Not that I don't love him, I do. He's the boy that I have been waiting on. I need to let him go so I can work on myself. I need to learn how to love myself first. I need to get better. Now is not the time. I hug him and I tell him everything will be okay.
