Okay so I'm awful at "blog homework" but I am going to get better at it!
Well this is a crazy story so keep up if you can.
In 2002 when I was 14 I moved to a new city, not far from "home" but I literally knew one person.
(I'll never for get how we met)
It was my second day of freshman year of highschool. It was 8th period English 1. I was pissed at myself for being the first person into the class room, I used to be such a nervous wreck in any type of social situation. Other students walked into the room, this guy walks in looks at the desk next to me looks at me and says "Damn I hate white people!", while rolling his eyes and shaking his head at me. He sits in the desk next to me and my thoughts come rolling out of my mouth before I could stop them, "Uhhh WTF your white?!?" I can only imagine how red I must of immediately turned. That day started the rest of my life! We were inseparable from then on best friends, I fell in love like most young girls do with guy friends and the guy is oblivious to the fact.
To fast forward and not embarrass myself to much.
I met my bio-dad at 16 he was a drug addict, abusive and a thief.
Well one evening, out of nowhere my best friend comes over unannounced and I had just gotten home from work and ready for bed. I had my headgear on and in comes my friend, he sits down on the couch and says let's talk. He tells me he loves me and that he's been in love with me but hasn't found a way to tell me. My mom was watching us from the end of the hall way and says "it's late she's really tired, why don't you walk him to the car, y'all can talk tomorrow." I was 17 and mortified the guy I was head over heals for just told me he loved me and I looked the way I did. I never planned on this happening this way. I nodded yes to my mom and we walked outside. I still had my headgear on and he leans in for a hug and suddenly kisses me and says he will see me tomorrow.
The next night he calls me at work and says he needs me. I leave work and go to his house, he was acting odd and starts talking abut when we get married and all of these things I just couldn't believe I was hearing. He opened up a black heart box and in it was a diamond ring he says " I got a job today and my boss told me to go get some pussy but thought asking you to marry me was way better." I looked at him for a moment and just started crying. Some form yes came out of my mouth. It was a big thing in my family blah blah blah
Well we fast forward a few months and biodad did some really bad shit. I told my mom I couldn't continue to live the way we were. When he got out of jail I refused to stay under the same roof as he was. Two or three nights pass and I come home from work and the piece of shit was sleeping on the couch. I errupted in anger, yelling finally calling him out for all the abuse he put me and my mom threw. And then looked at my mom... She was just sitting there I told her to choose right then her words "Do what you think you need to do." I told her I wasn't going to sleep under the same roof as him for another night. She repeated her statement. So I loaded my car up with what I knew I needed and left. I called my fiancé and told him what happened he told me to stay somewhere and he would have it taken care of the next day. I stayed at a cousins house, missed school the next day because the fact of I stood my ground and I was on my own just hit me, I was 17 wouldn't turn 18 until March and this was mid September.
Around 4 pm he calls tell me his parents want to talk to me. I drove to his house and we all talked for hours about what was happening in my life and where I thought I would end up if I stuck it out at my moms and they suddenly offered their home to me. If it weren't for my husband, I wouldn't be the woman I am today, I don't think I would be alive. It's been since 9-18-05 and we've been together since. I couldn't have it anyother way. He and his parents saved my life. I truly believe that. I am forever greatful for them. Almost 11 years later and I still try my best to show my gratitude.
