Staten

I’m way too good at goodbyes – Sam Smith

It took me a week to come up to this rehab center to visit Liberty. When Free told me that she wanted to see me, I was hesitant. Since she barked on me the last time, I was letting her live her life the way she wanted. Shit, I had a bunch of other shit going on in my own life, so if she wanted me out, I was giving her the space she wanted. I was surprised when Free told me that she decided to admit herself into rehab. It took a lot for her to do something like that, so the least I could do was come up to visit her. I turned my car off and walked through the gravel parking lot to the front door. This place was nothing like the place I had paid for before. Liberty couldn’t afford that place, so I understood why she chose this place. When I walked through the door, I signed my name and was shown to the visitation room. I decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. Being inside this place had me feeling like I was visiting a homie on lock down.

“Hey, you,” I heard from behind me.

I turned around and Liberty was standing there wearing a green maxi dress that fell down to the floor. Her hair was curled, and a piece was pinned back to keep from falling in her face. She didn’t have a lick of make-up on. That was when I found her to be the most beautiful anyway.

“What’s good?” I walked over to her and hugged her. She smelled like French vanilla and lilacs. My arms swallowed her whole frame in our embrace.

“I’m just hanging,” she smiled. “Sit,” she pointed to the picnic table behind us.

I took a seat and stared into her face. “You look good, Lib.”

She messed with a piece of hair, and that’s when I noticed a big ass rock sitting on her ring finger. Liberty noticed when I saw it and quickly put her hand down. “Thank you,” she stammered.

“What’s the ring about?”

She looked away, then looked back. Our eyes connected and I refused to let her look away again. “I’m engaged, Staten.”

“Engaged? Stop fronting.”

Her face remained serious. Liberty was too silly to hold this in, if she was joking. “I’m serious. I got engaged a week ago.”

The shit hit me like a sack of bricks. I knew we weren’t in a good place, yet I thought I always had time to get my girl back. With her being engaged, there was no way I would be able to get my girl back.

“Who is this nigga?”

“Nobody that you know,” she vaguely replied. “I didn’t ask you to come here for that.”

“So why the fuck did you ask me to come? That big ass ring would have been hard to fucking miss.”

“I didn’t even know he was going to get me a ring until he popped up with the ring last week.
