Epilogue

Julia

Things had been rough as hell for me these last few weeks. My girls had me on ignore and my own mama had long ago washed her hands of me. I didn’t have anyone in my corner to help me out. It finally dawned on me the only people I could depend on were my children and I’d run them off. Carissa wouldn’t have anything to do with me. I guess Sharise was in her feelings all over again due to an incident with her nigga Wayne a few years ago. Was I jealous of my daughters? Yes. They’d robbed me of my youth. Their daddy left me all alone raising two children. I knew he was married when I started messing around with him but so what? I deserved some love too! I wanted to be someone’s wife one day. As the years went on, it just seemed to me, I had a better chance of landing a younger man and getting him to put a ring on it. Besides, I didn’t care for older men at all. I heard they gave you worms. I still felt like an eighteen-year-old.

I was out here struggling bad. I won’t even go into what I had to do to get my lights back on. Let’s just put it like this, as I said before, I DO NOT like old men. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Never again though! My food stamps had actually been cut off. I couldn’t believe it. Carissa tried to warn me, but I’d refused to believe it could happen. Now here I was standing in line at the food pantry, as fine as I was. Who went out begging for food looking this good? Evidently me. Anwar changed his number and it had been months since I’d seen or heard from him. I’d believed every word that dripped from his lying, forked tongue.

“NEXT” I heard.

I moved to the front of the line. I sure hope they have something good in this food box this week, I thought to myself as I showed my I.D. I was going to run into Anwar sooner or later and I had something for his ass. Nobody makes a fool of Julia/Jules Franklin.

Carissa

I used to wonder what I was doing so wrong in this world for things to never work out in my favor. No matter how hard I tried. It took me until now to realize God had a plan for me. That every negative thing I went through with Anwar, was preparing me for a love greater than I could ever imagine. Some might be surprised to hear me say this, and of course I’d never tell him, but I was thankful for the lessons I’d learned. I’d been naive, and not trusted my own instincts. I was so much more sure of myself now. The insecurities Anwar created in me were slowly but surely disappearing. Anthony’s love had everything to do with it. At times I wondered if I wasn’t relying too heavily on Anthony for my emotional well-being.
