Love Me ~URBAN

New start ⏳

Remi Pov
\(*^*)/
The week went by really fast I had a truck ready to take my stuff out to Atlanta on Saturday and my condo was all set up.Sense I hated planes and it wasn't that far away I just decided to drive I was gonna spend the night in Tallahassee to get some rest but if I wasn't so far away I would just make it a straight shot.

My brother and dad have been M.I.A sense what happened that day but that's kinda good for me because then it will be easier to leave.My step sister hasn't been here either it's like they just died or something.
I haven't spoken to issy all week I said good morning to Evan by accident the other day and he gave me a dirty look so much for being nice. I knew about evan working for my dad and we didn't talk about it but I know why he does it his family needs money and his pride got in the way so he won't find a real job so he slangs drugs and he is happy  I would have never said anything to him because its not my place to tell him he is doing it all wrong.
I have been saving up sense my mom passed away so I didn't have a problem finding a nice condo and car Saturday morning I packed up my suit case of clothes and all my valuable stuff I put in the back of my hummer and I got my car comfortable enough to drive the 6 hours I bought stacks and drinks and everything you would need for a road trip I wrote up a note for Evan&Issy saying
"I am not running away from you nor Evan I am simply just going out into the world by myself  I wish you could take the journey with me like we talked about growing up and I hope you will be praying for me like I will be doing the same for you .You were the big sister I always wanted and you are always gonna be just that my big sister from another Mister ❤😂 I am gonna miss you the most and most importantly I am never gonna forget you.you know my number sis and P.S I am sorry I never could say goodbye in person and that I haven't talked to you in a week please take care of Evan he is just as important to me as you are I wish you guys the best
Love you guys ,Sincerely
Remi💜H.
I jumped the fence and I climbed up to her room and I taped it to her window I jumped down and I went back to my house where I wrote up a note to my dad and Orlando .

"The life your both living was the life I never thought I would have to see the close people I know go through I forgive you both for not telling me the situation.you guys know I love you and that someday I will comeback and visit but I don't want to come back to stay you guys have my number I love you more than anything and I hope you guys take care of each other "
Love ,Remi 💜
I was ready to leave I left everything I didn't want in boxes for them to donate and I just left stuff there just so my memory would stay in that room . When I arrived in Atlanta it was warm and felt like home already I immediately thought to myself the fresh start doesn't feel so fresh I felt sick and nervous but I wasn't gonna turn around I was gonna make it work.
I made my way through Atlanta's rat race traffic and arrived at my apartment it was a real chill low key neighborhood I knew nobody was gonna ask me for a cup of sugar because there is only 3 tenants in this  building which is me, a guy around my age ,and a business man who the realtor lady assured me just comes to the apartment to cheat on his wife as refreshing as that sounds I'm happy I will be able to relax in MY apartment.

All day yesterday I unpacked I realized what I needed for my crib 😌
So I made a list was very short because the lady (Mrs.Sharron) gave me most of my list and I bought it while I was in Orlando.I took a shower with no curtain and it felt very liberating because I would never be bothered on which bathroom to use (hallway bathroom or my own).When I was done with my daily hygiene routine I got dressed in a sports bra a Nike wind breaker and my joggers and my Nike roshes I was complete with my famous regular old Joe bun heading out of the house setting my alarm system and making my way to my car I bump into what seems to be the guy Mrs.Sharron was talking about he wasn't to bad looking he kinda reminds me of a older version of Dom I avoided eye contact because he was dressed in a formal attire like for a wedding he said "excuse me m'lady " I freaked out because I was lost in my thoughts so I said with the stupidest look on my face "Errm...Yes " he did this amazing smirk and this deep bass booming chuckle "up or down " I said same as you I guess I was so lost in thought while walking I didn't know I was in the elevator.

After a loooong day getting stuff for my humble abode I got some great dinner , I relaxed with a shower and did my nightly routine the day was great and I would get to sleep the day a way tomorrow after that it was job searching for me till the summer was over.
Everything was going so fast in Atlanta the time,the space,and definitely my patience I loved this place but still getting use to it. I decided to go talk to my blast to the past neighbor sense my time was free and my family hasn't reached out to me.
When I knocked on his door he was kinda low and tired looking he wiped his eyes and got a little bit better he said "Hey ummmmm..ma" I laughed a little bit  and said sorry I never gave you my name but it's Remi what is yours ? He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a girl she came to the door and said "Daniel I am going to moms place  " I peeked around him and saw a younger twin of him as a girl I said Hello and smiled a bit more softly and not in a shocked manner he looked at the girl and said "Dani I don't know why you had to tell me your almost grown".
She left and he invited me in his place and it is stunning and has a lot of  space he offered me a glass of water and I said Thank you his gesture made me realize I am Gawking but not speaking I cleared my throat and said"I am kinda well ...*Very new to Atlanta and sense you are the only person I have spoken to sense I moved here" He swiftly finished my sentence and said "You want me to show you around or introduce you to some folks around these parts" his accent kinda gave itself away when he was talking to me and it was attractive he sounded just like Dom "yeah exactly like that ,Hey I am sorry if this seems random but do you have a younger brother named Dominic ?" he seemed taken back but I have no clue wh- "Yes I do where did you say your from "

NO FREAKING WAY 
"I am from Orlando " He got kinda happy "I hope we talking about my brother I haven't spoken to him in years is he doing fine"I thought they would keep in contact especially when they're so much alike. But I said "yeah he is healthy and he seems to be happy" Daniel kinda sighed and I said "is there something wrong ?" He looked at me and looked down and said "He is dead to the rest of my family besides  my grandma and me I miss him he is my other half and I don't know why I haven't reached out to him in years"

"Why didn't you reach out ?" he looked down he asked "You sure " I shook my head yes he began the story "Well when I was in 9th grade and Dom was in 8th our parents were having money problems so my mom picked up extra shifts and my pops he didn't care that my mom was trying to keep us a float he just brushed past it and put us in deeper shit he picked up the bottle and didn't put it down unless he was hitting my mom or our older sister Karissa well she ran away from home our father was shocked he lost her he got help and he was clean ...but not enough b'cause he died .after ,our dad died Dom finally spilled the beans that he helped Karissa run away he didn't tell us where she was or  how he did it instead he stopped talking and he fell into a zombie state my mother was so upset she sent him away to Orlando to live with grandma I haven't heard/seen him sense then and I wish I could it would make me feel a lot better I feel like I lost my other half"

"Wow I cant believe all of this but my question is what happened to Karissa,why not find her first ?" he stood up got him some water 

"The story of Karissa is complicated because she doesn't want to be found but a couple of years ago I got curious like you are and I found her she was in the park a mile from her home with a  man ,little boy ,and girl they were clearly her  husband and kids I had found her and I saw how happy she was and I really  wanted to walk up and just hug her but instead I drove off and let her stay 'un-found'  it was the best choice I made in that period and I wouldn't change it maybe one day"

"Why not tomorrow Dom she may need to see your face she might be feeling down" I said but his face twisted like I was crazy "I feel like I would make it worse if she saw me but you make a good point around this time tomorrow we will go to her house an talk to her" now I see the difference between him and his brother Dom is very focused an hard headed but Daniel is very open and free thinking he wants every part of his life open I focused my attention back to him and said "Great idea what do you want to know about me?" he smiled like he could see right through me he asked "You ran from something but if your found you could care less because you would stay and continue your journey" I smiled because he was right but he was getting to close so I put up my walls and said "I didn't hear a question" we laughed and he simply replied "What are you running from" My face kinda dropped a bit because he was right I was running "Well it's a long story but my mom was pregnant and me and my brother were happy but my father was content he picked up another job because he knew the baby was going to need a lot of stuff my father worked hard but then the economy fell and things just kept going wrong he tried to get a job but it was so hard so he fell into selling drugs which resulted in my mother being kidnapped after my father paid the men to release her they had told my father she was dead he knew they wouldn't kill a pregnant woman he knew my mother was alive my he decided to tell us she was dead  and then he remarried and now I have a slut stepsister and etc." he said "wow that was complicated asf" I shook my head thinking about the moment my dad told me she was alive.

"well see you tomorrow" I left and I was soooo happy I made a new friend and I got to talk about my situation with someone who wouldn't judge me for why I left.
