tag, my current situation .
Every time I looked at Shayvon, he was already looking at me. I didn’t have to do anything to get his attention. I already had it and I was falling hard for him. Shayvon spent all of that money and never even asked if I was seeing other dudes. I’m sure he figured that after today’s shopping spree, no other man would have a chance with me, and he was right. Shayvon made me feel like a princess.
Right in the middle of our fun, I received a text message from a number that I didn’t recognize.
Unknown: Sacaria, this is a friend of your mothers. I need you to come to the hospital. Your mother has been hurt, and she is asking for you.
Sacaria: Who is this and why should I care?
Unknown: I’m sorry to have bothered you. If you decide to visit Davona, please call me. I will give you the information you need. Because of the nature of her injuries I had to put you on the list to visit her.
Sacaria: Ok thanks for texting.
When I looked up from my phone, Shayvon was already looking at me. Before he could say anything, I asked him to take me home. He asked me if everything was okay, but I never answered him. I felt bad that I just took all of his gifts and went home, without explaining to him that Davona had been hurt. Hearing that Davona was hurt had brought up so many memories, and I didn’t want to talk about it with anyone. I just needed to be alone as soon as possible.

We’d just finished shopping, when Sacaria got a text and rushed home. She barely even hugged and kissed me when she got out of the car. I knew something was wrong, and I wanted to help her, but she dipped on me before I had the chance.
I was up half the night worrying about her. It had been three days, and she hadn’t replied to any of my calls or texts. I even knocked on her door, but she didn’t answer. I don’t know if she left town or what.
I stopped by Moms to see how things were going. Moms told me that Davona was in the hospital. Apparently, her ex-boyfriend was obsessed with her. He wanted her to come back to the drug life with him. This dude must have been stalking Davona. He approached her after church on Sunday. When she refused to go with him, he went crazy and started beating her half to death right there on the street, but he got away.
Right then I knew that I had to find Sacaria, not only for me, but because this mark might be going after her too, if he hadn’t already.
As I was leaving my mom’s, Sacaria texted me and said that, she was okay and she needed some time. I didn’t understand why she left me hanging, when we were hitting it off so well. I guess it was too soon to expect more from her. Nevertheless, it angered me that I was feeling some type of way. To make myself feel better, I did what I do best and called my boys. Fuck this shit; I’m about to turn the fuck up. It’s a good thing that I haven’t told those fools about Sacaria. If I had, they would be talking big shit about me getting played like a fuck boy.

I finally went to see Davona. She was not looking good at all. She wanted to apologize to me and asked me to forgive her. I told her that I would consider it. She introduced me to Shayvon’s mother, who was there visiting. They both invited me to church. I didn’t trust church, but I might one day, so I promised to think about it.
I told Davona about Granny Amanda’s funeral service. Then I told her about my life in Atlanta. After that, I was ready to go. I just didn’t have it in me to keep talking to her, as if the past never happened. I had so many questions, but I wasn’t ready for the answers. I’d always felt that if I saw Davona, I would beat her like she stole something, but somebody beat me to it. I almost felt bad for her. Apparently, one of her old crack head boyfriends had flipped out. He beat her ass badly. I figured that somehow she probably deserved it.
It’s weird that she would even think that a simple apology would take away all of
