A Lonely Battle

As the months passed, I became depressed and lonely. I turned to the one person who could offer me the support and comfort I needed without being judgmental.

“Hello,” my mother answered with her warm voice.

“Mommy, I miss you. I’m so alone and depressed,” I whined.

“Awww, baby. Why don’t you come and visit me for a couple of weeks?” my mother suggested.

Since I hadn’t seen her or my close friend, Chastity, in at least a year, I agreed. My mom moved to Atlanta shortly after her divorce from my father. She felt the move to a new environment was just what she needed for a new beginning. Atlanta was the place for Chastity’s new beginning as well. She moved there shortly after her father’s death. Hell, if it worked for them, I figured it couldn’t hurt me to visit for a couple of weeks, so I happily took my mom up on her offer.

Once I received my call from Vegas and told him of my plans, I quickly packed four weeks worth of clothes, even though I only planned to stay for two. I loaded the Louis Vuitton luggage in the truck and headed for the airport. Two hours later I was in Atlanta.

My mother was at work when I arrived, so Chastity was there waiting for my flight. I was so excited to see her. We had been friends since we were tots. I could see her chatting away on her cell. Her petite frame was outfitted in a power blue business suit, stiletto pumps, with a Gucci clutch bag in hand and Gucci frames. Chastity was about business. Ever since we were young, she knew she would be an entrepreneur. She owned two businesses in the metro area: a strip club and a soul food restaurant. Both of her businesses were of the upscale caliber. She ran her strip club with strict rules. Her girls were top of the line and she took no shit. If they didn’t follow her guidelines, they were out the door. Her restaurant served some of the best food in the area. It was a quiet, after work spot with a jazz band.

“Hey, Momma! I can’t believe how big you’ve gotten,” Chastity said, hugging me tight.

“I know. It’s all stomach, girl,” I said as hugged her back.

On the drive to her house, I updated her on all the drama of our friends. In no time, we were pulling up to her house in Buckhead. Her house was beautiful. I was so proud of Chastity’s accomplishments. It was hard and she’d had her challenges, but she’d made it.

A few years prior to Chastity’s move to Atlanta, she was in terrible condition. Her father died, leaving Chastity and her mother to survive on their own. Chastity, like most Virginia Beach girls, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. So, when times got hard, she didn’t know how to cope with the change. She became angry with her mother and blamed her for their struggle.
