Riley's POV
3 months had passed since I lost my husband but the pain still feels new. I can still recall the day he left me the emotions, the heartbreak ....
I thought that laying him to rest would at least heal
me a lil but it didn't work. I wish I could touch him, smell his scent, feel his touch, hear his voice.
Hearing the way he died, I couldn't believe it. Not Akeem. I still remember Rash coming to me....
"He told me to tell you that he love you before he took his last breath. We waited for the Ambulance to get to us but he died before they got there."
Rash has been here for me through this whole process. I needed him because I couldn't do it on my own. He suggested that we cremate him so he could be with me everywhere I go.
Every morning I wake, I kiss his vase . Mulan hasn't been the same since his passing. It's like she knows he's not here anymore. She still a baby but damn something just haven't been right.
This still feels like a dream to me. I'm just ready to wake up already.
Fuck!! Akeem why didn't you listen to me ?'!
My mind is just all types of fucked up right now.
"Hey girl, how you feeling"
Jeff asked interrupting me from my thoughts. I shook my head giving him a blank stare.
"I guess today is just one of those days ya know" I answered .
"Just take it a day at a time girl that's all you can do"
A tear escaped my eye, I quickly wiped it away.
"Riley, if you need to cry go ahead and cry." He rubbed my shoulder.
"I thought I was out of tears Jeff. They won't stop coming."
Jeff sat on the bathroom counter listening.
"I think I need a new scenery. I need to get away me and Mulan."
"Where are you trying to go?"
"I don't fucking know mane. I've been thinking though .... I think I want to sell the house. It holds too many memories.... it makes me think of him
More and more each day."
"Well. This could be a good idea. I'll start looking for you. How soon are you trying to do it?"
"Soon as possible."
*ding*
"Outside"
"She just texted me and said she was outside" I notified Jeff.
I collected my things and headed downstairs. Jeff followed behind ....
I opened the car door to get in.
"Hey best friend"
"She's not your best friend suh. She's mine." Said Jeff
"Whatever. We go way back."
I laughed at them both.
"Hey Monica"
I leaned over to give her a hug. Jeff rolled his eyes.
We headed towards the city for a day out.
