CHAPTER 17

FOREVER HAUNTED

GINA

I looked in my closet to find shoes and a bag. It had been so long since I’d gone anyplace nice, that I wasn’t sure what I owned anymore. I reluctantly searched through the clothes and shoes that were thrown all over the floor. At least a year had passed since I last went through that stuff. I’d made it a custom of wearing sweatpants, T-shirts and sneakers on a regular basis.

I searched as though I was looking for a pot of gold, throwing old shoes and clothes in every direction. I came across things that I hadn’t seen in years. I smiled as I picked up one of RJ’s newborn tees. Staring at that tee made me remember how small and precious RJ was as a newborn. He was, and always had been, everything I could imagine my child to be. I hugged the picture of my son, admiring how much RJ resembled his dad at birth, and even more so now.

I soon came across a picture of me and BJ. I was surprised to see how much she and I had changed in our appearances.

“Wow, was I small back then!” I stated as I took a moment to examine my small frame.

I continued to search, finding everything except a nice pair of sandals and a bag. I was deep inside my closet near the final corner; there was no hope. Just as I was about to give up, I came across a Bloomingdale’s shopping bag. I wondered where it could have come from as I pulled it out. I was sure I never purchased anything there. Hell, Norfolk didn’t even have a Bloomingdale’s, and I hadn’t been outside the Seven Cities my entire life.

Maybe it’s something that belongs to my mom, I thought as I opened the bag. There were two large wrapped gifts, a smaller gift, and a card. I opened the bag with caution, starting with the card. It was a birthday card signed from Ray-Ray. Tears began to well in my eyes as I opened the gifts. It was sandals with a matching bag, and a necklace with a diamond locket. I opened the locket to find a picture of Ray-Ray and me inside.

I sat on the floor, thinking. It was my birthday gift from Ray-Ray, and it had been sitting in my closet since his death. He must have hid it from me, but he never got to tell me because he was killed. This was a pleasant surprise, but I still couldn’t believe it. It’s crazy how things come together.

I called BJ to tell her the news. She was just as stunned as I was about the revelation.

“Gina, you’ve got to be kidding me. Really? After all this time, you’re just now finding your birthday surprise?” BJ pondered.

“Yes, and I know it sounds strange, but I just had no idea Ray-Ray had hidden these things so far back in the closet. Had you not asked me to go out, I still wouldn’t have found the bag.
