CHAPTER 16- ROY

I finished getting ready and put on a copper-colored flowing skirt and turquoise blouse. I reached into my jewelry box given to me by Jordy and put on a bangle bracelet. I took a deep breath as I looked into the mirror and forced a smile.

“This is for you, Jordy, Grandma, Daddy, and Mama. I’m getting the house for good,” I said, gathering my strength.

I then heard a knock on the door. I looked out the window to see Jimmy. Even he had attempted to upscale his appearance. He had on a blue polo and khakis.

“Jimmy, you’re dressed up,” I said in shock.

“Don’t get used to it, Cuz. Mama made me do it. Said I didn’t need to go to court lookin’ like no hobo. That woman don’t understand swag, but I wanted to be there to support you. So, here I am,” he said with a smile.

“Well, thank you. I appreciate it.” I said, giving him a hug.

“Wouldn’t have it any other way, Cuz. Me, Mama, and Julie, we’re here for ya. That’s what family does,” he said.

I let go of Jimmy and dried my eyes. Jimmy got into his car, and I followed behind.

Aunt Georgia was dressed in her Sunday best, and Julie was wearing a pink skirt and white top.

“It will all be okay, Honey,” Aunt Georgia said.

I nodded, trying to assure Aunt Georgia that I was okay even though I clearly wasn’t.

“Where are the kids?” I asked Julie.

“They’re with my friend, Amy, from work. Kyle can’t sit still to save his life, and besides, I just don’t want them around Roy,” Julie said.

“It’s okay, Jules. I understand. I do,” I said.

We finally arrived at the courthouse. Roy stood outside. He was dressed in a black button-up, black jeans, and was wearing a huge silver belt buckle. He also wore black pointed toe cowboy boots with a shiny silver tip. Some men stood beside him. They stared at us as we walked inside. Roy smirked as I walked by.

“Don’t pay them no attention, Honey, you just go in there and say what’s on your mind. Everyone knows your mama and daddy wanted you to have this place. He’s just tryin’ to scare you is all,” Aunt Georgia whispered.

Jimmy quickly turned around as though he was going to walk up to Roy to punch him in the face.

“Better watch yourself, Jim. I’d hate if something happened to that pretty-boy face of yours,” Roy said with an evil grin.

Jimmy started towards Roy, but Julie and Aunt Georgia were quick to pull Jim back.

“That’s it, walk away, pretty boy. At least some of your screwed-up families got some damn sense,” Roy said with a chuckle.

I quickly helped Aunt Georgia and Julie escort, Jimmy, into the courthouse and away from Roy.

We walked in, and Jimmy, Julie, and Aunt Georgia took seats on the side where I was sitting. No one was sitting on my side of the courtroom other than the three of them and Old Doc Cecil, who had been a good friend of Grandma’s.
