My forever (ON HOLD)

December 2,2019|Danajah Thompson| Chicago,IL

it was now morning time and I was laying in bed by myself I laid there looking at the ceiling trying to figure out

where I went wrong how did I get here my phone started ringing I looked seeing it was a unknown number I answered

it putting my phone on mute "hello? Danajah is this you?" I heard my mom say I turned the mic back on "omg hey moma yes it's me"

"omg good I was so worried for you, your boyfriend just called me and told me you was gonna be too sick to come to

the bar-bq today" "What bar-bq?" She let out a sign "he didn't tell you? I called trayvon three weeks ago

to tell him about the little get together I was throwing today" "oh well mom I can't-" "I don't wanna hear that

glow I haven't seen or heard from you in two months did I do something why are you avoiding me?"

I felt a tear fall from my face "no ma you didn't do anything it's ok I'll clear my schedule I'll come"

"okay thank you baby I'll see you here" she hung up I signed How tf am I supposed to hide these bruises

I pulled myself up from the bed I felt like my ribs were completely broken it was hard for me to drag myself to the bathroom

I pulled myself to the counter i looked in the mirror seeing a bruise under my eye and my lip was busted easy cover up

I looked down at my legs seein the bruises they were everywhere literally I could delfy pull it off I just had to wear pants

I ran my bath water puttin salts inside of it with apple cider vinegar I went out finding something to wear in my closet

I put my clothes on the bed for when I get out which was a comfy set with a white cropped tee

I decided to pick out the accessories when I got out I stepped from my clothes and getting into the hot bath water

it felt good as I sat resting I laid there thinking about everything and I was done feeling sorry for myself really

sittin here and allowing someone to put their hands on me and verbally abuse me was something I wasn't gonna

Allow anymore of that if I wanted to take control of my life I needed to get away from trayvon and actually heal

I stood up letting the bloody water out then turned the shower on letting the water run over my body

The remaining blood dripped from my body from a couple cuts that were on my legs,arms I stayed in for a hour

before I felt better i got out dryin off then wrapping my towel around me I brushed my teeth

Then did the rest of my hygiene before I put on my undergarments I put my clothes in my hamper before I sat down
