How couldn't I think Roper would not find out what I did?
I made a big mistake.
And he kept yelling at me.
I kept crying.
How could I trust an addict with that much money? God I'm so stupid. I don't even know why I'm mad at you. I should be mad at myself.
Truth is, the reason I went to Roper's mom was because I used some of the cash he stored to by some coke.
I saw all that money and was sure that it was more than enough.
But I went to the police station and they told me I was short.
So in my ripped dress, I had to get the rest of the cash from somewhere.
And his mother gave him the difference. And called yesterday morning to make sure he was all right and if the money she gave me covered it.
Ma, what? You have Beverly money?
And he looked at me and I could see happiness drain from his face.
Bev, I was notified of the amount I had to post and my savings was the exact amount. Why did you ask my mom for money?
This was the first time I was speechless in front of him. And he figured it out. And punched a hole in my wall. And started crying. Then yelled. And grabbed my arm.
Why did you buy? What did you buy?
I handed him what was left of the coke.
He flushed it down the toilet.
And left.
