Falling For An Angel

One

I'm Samrah Nicole Hill. I grew up in Virginia with my mom, dad & big brother. My mom is an elementary school teacher & my pops a mechanic at a nearby shop. Although we spent a lot of time at church we were far from saints. After graduating high school, I planned to attend a University in Fort Worth Texas. I hear everything is bigger & better in Texas. My parents were a bit skeptical at first, but they helped me anyway. I worked & saved for two years to prove I was serious about this. It wasn't easy & my little car broke down twice. Sometimes I walked & caught the bus to work till dad could fix it. Then again I think they were glad things didn't work out between Carl & I. Carl was my neighbor, best friend & boyfriend in high school. We went everywhere together he took me places I had never been. He walked me to every class. He even walked me home after school. Unfortunately, I found out through big mouth Brittany he was a cheater. I broke it off for a week but he would call me twenty times then come back with flowers & candy. The first, second, & third time I caught him cheating I forgave him. After I found out I tried to give him a chance to explain himself. I couldn't believe he would lie to me with a straight face. Lying was something I was never good at. The last time I caught him I started screaming at him in his face. He slapped me & spit in my face. He started screaming back at me calling me out of the name. The next day he bought me a necklace & an engagement ring to apologize for his actions. Of course, I gave him another chance I felt like I had to help him & he was my best friend I couldn't just walk away. I did love him I thought he would always be there for me like I was there for him. Until I was jumped on my way home from school by three girls. He didn't come to school on this day. That's when I officially broke it off. The girls were waiting for me after school. I couldn't back down where would I go? I walked straight through the middle of the crowd to get home there was no way around them. That's when I was struck. I lit up the first two like the fourth of July. When the other chic jumped in & started hitting me. I called him that day & broke off our relationship for good. I even stayed with my favorite aunt Vanessa for 3 months to get away from him. I stayed with her for the whole summer. We went bowling, swimming, out to eat & even to the beach. She warned me that he wasn't good for me. I used this time to clear my mind & figure out where my life was headed.

Four years later.
This is my last semester in college. I'm very nervous about graduation. My dad always said you have to have faith that one of the reasons I kept going. Now I'm dating Anthony King he & I met at a football game two months ago. Anthony was one of the most popular guys at school he goes by the name Tone. He is smart, sexy & always has a smile. When our eyes locked I knew I had to get to know him. We lost the game but I won something special. He was handsome with hazel eyes & long dreads. His mother owns a real estate company which explains why he studied business. She owns Donna King's Estates, his father passed away when he was ten. I have two girlfriends now Ashley & Cashay. They're like my sisters.
