I stare at Marie as Momma E lets her in the house. Oh lord! I tell myself shaking my head at Marie. Why did Momma E had to let this bitch inside the house, after Eli and I got into a heated argument. “Hey Marie, I’m making some food do you want to join us?” “Join us? Who else is here?” Marie asks her as she remove her coat. I don’t see her child with her so I’m guessing Nino has her or someone babysitting tonight. “Ashanti has been staying with me.” Momma E tells her and I know her smile drops instantly hearing my name. So, I took that as a way to show myself to her, you know a lovely entrance. “Marie, is it? How are you?” I said in a sweet fake voice.

Once I hear her bedroom door shuts, I play some music on my phone and begin washing the dishes. “Don’t you know I want you baby?” “Don’t you know I need you baby? You make me want to lose control only for you.” I sing to the lyrics rocking my body to the beat. I hear the door to the entrance open and I already know it’s Eli coming home not so late.

I don’t know how he was able to walk away without anyone seeing him. Eli continues to stare at me. I drink in his appearance; his dreads all tangled up, his grey and white shirt half of it has dry blood stains. The sweat pants which is grey has some darker blood stains and what look to be in dirt.

I don’t know what’s the first step on how to handle this type of situation. I shake my head hard with tears wanting to spill. I never seen someone with this much blood on them. “Ashanti, I tried to save him, but but…” He went to say but paused as if he living through it again. I walk towards him trying to comfort him first before asking question. That will be later on when he’s okay
