What's Meant To Be and What's Not

Part 3

I'm looking around heart racing because I just know I'm not at my fucking ex house. No matter how much I thought I erased the memory of this room out of my head... it was very much still there. We broke up two years ago and this nigga still got pictures of us on his wall and RECENT pictures of me EVERYWHERE on some obsession shit. Now that I know where I'm at I'm pissed. I start walking around the house to find out where this man was so he could take me home. I walk into the bathroom and he in there running bath water and laying out rose peddles.

*background info on my ex .. we gone call him ty. So ty and I met my freshman year of high school he was 2 years older than me. we broke up before I moved to Texas He was toxic ! He was mentally and verbally abusive he chocked me out of anger a few times but never hit me. He Wanted me to himself. I could never have male friends or go out. He acted a fool over me just to break up with me for my sister 🤣 (she didn't date him though). After we broke up and my sister said no to being with him he would not leave me alone I had to completely change my number and block him from everything. But what had me was when he popped up in Texas and waited at my house for me ! As all can see ty crazy as hell*

"Ty why the fuck am I waking up at your house how did it get here?" He looks at me and smiles, but it wasn't the smile I felt in love with years ago it was a demonic smile. "You told me to come get you. Remember? I picked you up from Beale street and brought you home." "I don't think that's how it went but whatever. Take me home I got somewhere to be." His face expression changed quick. He stood up and walked towards me until I was cornered. "Who you talking to like that? Don't forget who you belong to me Amari". he kissed my cheek as I looked away. Did I really get that drunk to call this man ? I couldn't believe I was back to square one again.

After my bath he told me to eat breakfast and he would take me home. I didn't want to stay but saying no wasn't the best idea at the moment he was unpredictable so I did. While eating my phone starts blowing up like I'm getting calls back to back. I wasn't allowed to be on my phone when we ate. And anytime my phone rang or I got a notification in the past he would spazz out accusing me of cheating. So when my hotline was blinging   He gave me the deadliest look ever.

"Give it here" I handed the phone over. He looked through it for a second and makes a phone. It was my mama "oh hey ty! Tell Mari she needs to get home graduation starts in two hours." I was so relieved she saved me. "Yes ma'am we're about to head out now." He responded.

One the ride home he turns the music down and says "now that you moved back to town we're back together. And that's not a question. And don't think for a second I'm leaving you again because I'm not. All I want is you." I was terrified... I listened and started to think of a plan at the same time. How can I get out of this ? He's never gonna leave me alone.
He pulls up to my mama house and I unbuckle my seatbelt to get out moving as fast as I could until he grabbed my thigh so hard it hurt. "Don't try to hide from me. I'll find you. Don't ignore my calls and texts. Or I will find you and don't think your alone because I'm always watching you." He let go if my thigh and I got out and walk in the house without saying a word.

Nesha calls me to make sure I was up and ready for the day. I was in the mist of rushing so I could make it to where I needed to be on time so I didn't think to ask her about the night before. After I hang up with her my phone dings. It was Steven "Good morning queen you ready for the big day ?" I'm cheesing hard as hell texting back. While text him Suddenly I had forgotten about what I had just happened that morning. I got dressed for graduation and walked across the stage !( with a MEAN ass hang over).

After everything was done with the graduation I start walking though the crowd of excited family members and friends so I could find mine. My mama, granny, sister and nesha was there to support me and it meant the world to me. After taking a few pictures with everyone nesha says "somebody really wanted to be here for you today so I had to sneak them in so they could see you graduate. Don't be nervous you look good. Oh and Your welcome 😘." she steps aside and I start to look around for who ever she was talking about. It was hard to figure out who it was but I was able to point out this tall person walking towards me with their face covered with pink roses and balloons. Once I was approached Steven lowers the flowers and smiles.

I couldn't believe I had just met this man last night and he literally showed up to my graduation the next morning. "Although I don't know you well I didn't learn a little about your childhood last night and I must say that for anybody to graduate from high school with college credits already deserves to be celebrated. And I hope I can be around for the many celebrations to come." He hands me the flowers kisses my forehead and reaches for a hug. I hopped in my tippy toes stretched my arms around his body closed my eyes and rested my head  on his shoulder as nesha took our picture. I was so happy. Being with him feels so right.

After the pictures was done nesha handed me my phone and I started to look at the pictures to see which ones I would post first. While quickly swiping through the photos I noticed something standing in the same place in all of the pictures. So I zoomed into the background of Steven and I picture to see ty standing there. Watching me...
