Promises are easily broken... but with broken promises comes regret. The reality of it all is that we live with our own regrets every day. It's how we handle it that tells a story
I finish my make up, fully dressed and sighed. I was already regretting the agreement already. Shy convinced me to go out to a lounge that does karaoke and get drinks. We haven't seen each other since we got here and I agreed so I could get out the house but I wish I hadn't. The chances of seeing him were slim to none but I didn't want to take the chance.
I looked in the mirror one last time taking a deep breath.

"You look good Michi"
I turn to see Shyla looking stunning in a two piece set.

I tried to give a smile but it was visibly half hearted and unenthusiastic. She shook her head before handing me my purse. I followed her out into the living room.
"See y'all later" Shy waved walking out the door "Love you guys!"
I laughed before picking up Reign. I kissed her all over her face making her giggle. I placed her back in Joy's arm, giving Joy a kiss on the cheek as well.
"Be back soon even if I have to walk" I joked
"Have fun Michi. Please" she gave me her mothering face "You never give yourself a break. Go out and live"
"I live every day. And being here just isn't fun"
"You got it mama. Just try"
"Okay" I sighed "Love y'all"
I walked outside and jumped in Shyla's rented truck. We headed to the lounge vibing out between DaBaby and Megan thee Stallion. I tried my hardest to get out of my head and just have fun. They were right, I rarely gave myself breaks. I needed to relax.
When we got there, it was actually jumping. People were all over the place but it wasn't crowded. We quickly got a booth and ordered drinks.
"See this is fun!" She nudged me
"I guess" I smiled "I just... you know I don't like being here"
"This is home Michi. No matter how far you run, it doesn't change that this place is our home. We can't let the past sto—"
