*Awkward Silence* Baby,  we need to finish packing and get back to Atlanta. Trying to get up. Baby lay down, No tevon I've had enough. we need to go. He helped me up and put my coat on.

Let me check you out,  he walked out the room.

I couldn't help but think of Micheal and his baby . He did that on purpose.  Kinsley Michelle was supposed to be my daughters name. 

It hurt that he'd do something like that,  especially with that bitch Ashley.  okay,  baby you ready to go ? I asked. I didn't even notice he walked back in. yes,  I'm ready to go. We walked to the car. he helped me in and we sped off.

so,  when you want to leave? I want to leave tomorrow tevon.  We gotta finish packing tonight then.  I don't care,  we'll do whatever it takes. It felt like it took forever to get home. 

Maaaaa,  I waddled in the house.  omg,  baby thank God your okay.  she ran up hugging me. She squeezed me tight as hell.  I love you ma,  but can you let go.  I laughed.  sorry,  sorry I forget.

We're leaving tomorrow ma,  she broke down crying . it's for the best ma,  cause Michael is a threat to our lies.  Once we get settled up there,  we'll come back and get you. Tevon cut in. she squeezed is both.  I love both of yall.  we love you too.

I grabbed some boxes out the garage and headed to my room. I'll get all the baby stuff together, he said.  you get all your clothes and everything else you need.He walked out the room. 

I took my clothes off the hangers and placed them in the box. ouch,  what the hell is this? I stepped on something.  It was the ring Michael gave me on our one year anniversary.

I grabbed another box and threw it in there.  I got Eventing he gave me and threw it in the box. I was tired of Micheal and I needed a fresh start. I pushed the box to the side and finished packing. 

*Next morning*

I sat on the porch while I watched tevon load up the U-haul. I was so happy to get out of Carolina. You thirsty babies? ,  my ma came outside holding sodas. She handed me a sprite. Hold on ma,  I'm almost down.  tevon yelled.

he grabbed the soda and kissed my ma on the forehead.  thanks ma. I smiled. 

You almost ready to go erica?.  Almost I got something else to.  I walked to my room and grabbed the box full of micheals stuff.

What's that bae,  Pain,  heartbreak and tears.  I walked to micheals house. I sat the box on the porch and rang the doorbell. Micheal opened the door,  here's all your stuff. I'm done.  I turned and walked away.

I didn't feel pain. I felt like a weight had been lifted of my shoulders. Are you ready now babe,  yes tevon I smiled.  I kissed my ma bye.  I love you and well be back for you.  I got in the uhaul and we headed down the insterstate.  I starred out the window.  felt good to finally leave
