Aaliyah
The Best I Never Had
As the hours dwindled by, I regretted that the one phone call I was able to make was to my mother. She or nobody else had shown up yet and so of course I blamed her. I was wondering after we hung up did she say fuck me and go back to sleep. I couldn’t think of any reason why either one of my dad’s or my grandfather hadn’t been here to bail me out unless my mother didn’t let them know I was locked up.
If I was going crazy and I hadn’t even been locked up for twenty-four hours there was no way I could survive this for the rest of my life. I was ready to let the tears of defeat flow out but something inside me wouldn’t let me do it. I was a fighter. I was born into a family of fighters and I couldn’t let this break me. It wasn’t too long ago I was in this same predicament—locked up. “If I got through it once I would get through it again”, I said out loud thinking back to how the more things change the more they stay the same.

It had been a few weeks since Amir’s birthday party and my mother and I were barely on speaking terms, which was fine by me. At this point I didn’t want to ever speak to her. I hated her for cheating on my dad and I hated it even more that I couldn’t say anything. Although Amir really turned me the fuck off by the stupid shit he said to me at the party I was a person of my word. I told him I wouldn’t let the shit slip out about my mom and Lorenzo so that was a done deal but it made me full of resentment. My dad adored my mother and if he knew some other man had taken his place it would destroy him.
“Aaliyah, we need to talk.” The sound of my mother’s voice broke me out of the depressing place my mind was in.
“I can’t right now. I’m meeting D’Mario and I’m already late.”
“Then he won’t mind waiting a little longer.”
“He won’t but I do.”
“Aaliyah, I’m not going to tolerate your disrespect. I’m your mother.”
“Then act like it. Because the mother I know or I thought I knew wouldn’t be sneaking around having an affair with another man.” My mother swallowed hard and I could see her cheeks turning beet red. Her hair was pulled tightly in a ponytail so there was no hiding what she felt, as every emotion was exposed on her face.
“I’m not going to discuss my relationship with Lorenzo anymore with you. You asked me to consider my marriage and how it would affect Xavier and that’s what I’m doing.”
“Good, I hope you make the right decision, now excuse me I have to go.”
“Wait,” my mother said grabbing my arm as I was walking past her to exit the kitchen. “We need to discuss your relationship with D’Mario.
