I stayed up practically all night wondering how this day would turn out. I can't believe I'm having dinner with my ex boyfriend and my family. What kinda stuff is this?. I hop off my bed and head for the shower.
After 30minutes pass I get out, brush my teeth, lotion up and put on my bra and panties and then head towards my closet in search for something to wear to church and something to change into at the diner. I slip on my dark blue knit sweater dress and my matching flats. I grab my tribal print skater dress and sandals an stuff them into my big purse. I rush back into my bathroom and put my hair up into a bun. There no one to impress. I would dress up since Jason's coming but I really could careless about him at the moment. I grab my phone and keys and head out the door.
*After Church*
Our preacher sure can talk a lot ,but the sermon was very interesting today. It gave me a lot to think about. I walk through the double doors towards my car. As I'm approaching I see two familiar kids running around and a too familiar face that reminds me of a scar that can't be erased.
"Kids do me a favor and go talk to your grandmother." They take off running across the parking lot. I sigh deeply unlocking my car prepared to get in but Jason stop me.
"What do you want?"
"To talk to you."
"Why? What more do you have to say?"
"Sasha," he says grabbing my wrist and lifting my face. "you don't know how much I've missed you." I stare into his eyes then quickly look away.
"Jason just stop this. If you really missed me you would've came back for me. No better yet you would've stayed and we'd be together."
"Sasha I tried..."
"Doesn't look like you tried hard enough. I was in love with you. You were my first love. Heck my only, I wanted you to have all of me and I do mean all. But, you just walked out on me. Now can you please move so I can get into my car?" I question trying to pull my wrist free.
"You don't understand Sasha. It was a lot going on and I couldn't handle it on my own so I chose to run."
"Yea you really did. You ran away from the one girl that loved you with everything in her. You broke her mentally and physically. I stayed in my room crying for a month. I couldn't eat or sleep, and now here you are back with a wife and kids but you miss me? I find that hard to believe.
"My wife and I are getting a divorce!" He blurts out staring into my eyes. I stare back at him in shock.
"I'm sorry to hear that but I have to go."
"No you don't. The diner isn't until three hours from now."
"I have to go home and check on my..." He laughs interrupting me.
"Stop with the excuses ma'am. You and I both know there's nothing that you need to do." He draws my face and body close his and leans in to kiss me,but I pull back.
"No Jason! We can't!"
"Yes we can." He says pulling me back towards him smoothly but roughly at the same time.
"Daddy momma said hurry up." A small girlish voice says making him release me. "Tell her I'll be right there." He responds turning around. "This isn't over Sash. Not by a long shot." He says before running across the parking lot. What the hell just happened?. I feel my heart getting ready to jump out of my chest. I turn around to unlock my car but I pause because I feel someone watching my backside. I do a quick turn around see the creamy colored Lincoln navigator driving out of the parking lot. I'm so not looking forward to seeing that car next door or at my moms house. I sigh and finally unlock my car.
*Flashback*
I stand at my mirror holding my beautiful light blue puffy prom dress up against me. Tomorrow shall be the happiest day/night of my life. I will be with the love of my life and we will finally make love. I've dreamed about this moment since my freshman year. I hear a light knock on my door and in walks my boyfriend Jason Haynes. He's so perfect and I love him with all of my heart. "Hi..."
"Sasha we need to talk." He says in a serious tone. This has to be something big; he never calls me Sasha unless he's mad or something bad has or is going to happen.
"What is it?" I say turning around to put my dress back on its holder.
"It's about us and prom." My heart drops to my feet.
"W-what about us a-and prom?" I ask stuttering.
"This isn't going to be easy for me to say but Sasha. I can't go with you and I can't be with you anymore. I have to leave tonight."
"Jason please. You can't do this I love you."
"Sasha,I'm not somebody that you wanna love. I can't be the man you want and need me to be."
"Don't say that yes you are." I say as tears slowly roll down my face.
"No Sasha. We're over. This whole thing is over and you have to accept that. I have to go." He says turn around to leave. I race downstairs after him but it's too late. I watched him get into the back of a cab. I ran behind it till I couldn't run anymore. I watched the love of my life vanish on the night before prom.
*A month later*
"Sasha you have to get over it. He's gone forever." I say out loud staring at myself in the mirror. My once straightened hair looked like a messed and my eyes were red and puffy. I sigh deeply. I turn around and walk over to the shower and cut on the water. I strip, step in and bathe. After about 30 minutes I get out and walk back over to my mirror. "No more tears or heartaches. From this day forward I will never let another boy get the best of me."
*flashback over*
"Here goes nothing." I whisper out loud to myself.i take the key to my moms house out and walk up the steps. The door swings open before I can even unlock the door.
"Sasha! I'm glad you came." My mom says excitedly embarrassing me into a right hug.
"Hey momma." I say trying to seem happy.
"Hey daddy."
"Hey baby girl." He says not looking up from his paper.
"Mom wouldn't let me help in the kitchen."
"You can't cook girl!" I tease.
"I can cook. Just not like y'all."
"The only thing you can do is make reservations." My little brother Gerald walks in snickering. I turn around smiling only for it to turn into a frown. My brother walks further into the kitchen with Jason. How did he beat me here and where is his truck? Better yet where's his family?. "Okay guys dinner is ready!" My mother yells interrupting my thoughts. Everyone exits the kitchen before Jason and I. "Wait." Jason says reaching for my wrist.
"No Jason leave me alone."
"Not until you listen."
"I don't want to Jason. Now if you'll excuse me I'm starving." I pull my wrist out of his grip and walk in the dining room. Let's get this over with.
