She sat in her car as she gripped the wheel. She went to grab her phone to find out why Jesse was calling Shontell. When did this start, she wondered. The jarring ring of her phone startled her. She answered the call.

“Hey, why aren’t you replying to my texts?” Jesse shouted into the phone. Ebony took the phone from her ear because the volume was painful. She got on the defensive and put the phone back to her ear.

“Here’s a better question for you…what the hell are you doing calling Shontell?” she retorted. Jesse didn’t say anything, but she definitely heard him curse as she suspected he was probably trying to come up with a good ass lie for himself. She spoke before he even tried. She couldn’t believe this. She was here risking everything…and for what?

“Yeah, just like I thought. You told me that you were over her. Guess I am the fool.”

“Ebony, don’t say that…I…” before he could finish, she hit the end button over and over again. She wished it was the 90’s and she could slam the receiver down hard on his ass. Ebony wiped away the tears she didn’t even know she had cried. She looked up and noticed Shontell was watching her from the window. She smiled weakly and hoped she hadn’t been watching her that long. She waved and backed out of the driveway. She almost hit another car because she wasn’t paying attention. The driver blew his horn and yelled expletives at her. She put her hand up to apologize.

“Sorry, sorry…my bad,” she said. It wasn’t even loud enough for him to hear. She started backing out again, cautiously looking both ways before continuing. She continued driving down the street, thinking about why men always hurt her. Was she that unworthy of love? Her mother had told her she wasn’t worthy. Coming from her own mother, she believed it. Her mother never showed her and her brother love. It was all business for her. She never said she loved them or hugged them. She didn’t have a good kind of relationship with her mom, like Shontell had with hers. She wished she did. She needed someone to guide her about men and all their ways. Wiping away the tears, she sat at the red light and looked at her reflection in the rearview mirror. When did she stop seeing herself? Because the woman she was looking at didn’t look anything like her. She hated her mother for her lack of affection. It had to be the reason why she felt she needed it so bad.
