It was around ten at night. The dinner was closing and I had work in the morning. I had to call it a night so I said farewell to everyone before I left out the dinner.
It was dark and the street light barely lit up the street. I kept my purse close to me and I quickly tried to get to my car.
*ding* I heard my phone.
I opened my purse and tried to look for my phone as I walked. It was dark outside so trying to find my phone was a lot harder than I thought.
*ding*
It rang again making the flashlight flash. So many people talked about why I had that flash on like I was a crackhead, but look who's the crackhead now.
I opened my phone to see that it was just Chyna texting me and a couple of Instagram notification. Usually I don't text while walking nor driving but she had tea to tell me and I just had to reply. I was in the middle of hitting send button when I bumped into someone, landing flat on my ass.
I thought it was there to help cushion the fall.
"Watch where your going." The person said not helping me up.
I quickly got up and brushed myself off. "If you saw me walking then why didn't you move." I said brushing myself off. I didn't see who it was until I looked up. It can't be.
"Ona nakhal'na." The guy next to him said. She's cocky.
"U menya net vremeni na eto." I said walking around them but someone grabbed my arm. I don't have time for this.
"Go without me." He said said to the dudes.
They laughed but eventually walked away. "A'Jreanna?" He said.
"Vadim." I said turning around.
"W-where." He said stuttered as he stared at me deeply.
"Bye." I said snatching my arm from his hold.
I quickly walked away. I didn't dare turn back around. After all he put me through, I don't want anything to do with him
•••
I woke up the next morning ready to start my day.
When I got home last night, I took a shower and cried myself to sleep. Me and Vadim didn't have the best breakup.
It was freshman year of college. Chyna and Ahnaa went to the University of California, Berkeley and I went to NYU. I wanted to go to the University of California but Vadim talked me into go to school with him.
Vadim was the schools IT boy and I was pretty much nothing, and when he started to drift away from me I decided to change myself. I had changed my personality and appearance just to fit in with the crowd and to please him. But I realized I couldn't please nobody but myself when I walked in on Vadim kissing another girl. It broke my heart, and that very same night, I sat in the mirror and just looked at myself.
I wasn't able to recognize myself. I wasn't the Aj that my grandmother and mother raised and loved, I was the Aj that everyone else wanted me to be. I had changed my personality and appearance just to fit in with the crowd, and I hated it.
I was underweight since back then being skinny was in and I was big. My hair was heat damaged since my 'friends' thought my curly hair was a mess. My attitude, don't even get me started on my attitude. My attitude was Stank—yes I said it, STANK.
I was a self conscious mess, and after Vadim cheating on me I became even worse. Luckily, I still had my spot at the University of California and was allowed to transfer.
I couldn't take walking around being the laughing stock and watching Vadim fuck every skank that would say yes to his advances.
It hurt like hell leaving New York, but if I wanted to better myself then I had to get out of New York. After that semester, I traded in my purple and white NYU jacket for the University of California Berkeley blue and gold jacket.
I had officially become and played for the bears.
I got up out of the bed and brushed my teeth before putting on my workout out clothes on. I try to do at least two hours of jogging and a hour of power walking everyday. It wasn't just for me but for Choco too. Me and Choco stretched before we head out the house.
The sun was barely up, but that didn't mean New York wasn't awake. After all, it was the city that never slept.
I stretched my limbs one more time before jogging with Choco. We ran all the way to the dog park which was thirty minutes away. I took Choco off his leash and threw the ball before sitting down. I was going to take a five minute break before starting up again. I was sitting down, trying to catch my breath when I felt someone sit next to me.
It was an old lady that was feeding the birds. She gave me some bread and I fed them also. We had a small conversation talking about nature when Choco returned with the ball making the birds fly off.
"It was nice talking to you ma'am." I said to the kind woman.
"You too darling, take care." She said.
I put the leash back on Choco before we started running again. Things didn't go as planned and I ran with Choco for three hours before returning back to my apartment.
