With the anniversary of Hugo coming up it got me thinking
about where I was the day leading up to the big storm. I was five months into
dating Terrence. With all relationships you love the challenge of a new love.
There was a lot of drama with him in the beginning. Drama I had no intention of
walking away from either. I was determined to fight for him and I did it,
literally. Reading back I was so sharp for a youngin, full of fire and sass. I
keep saying that’s what attracted guys to me. Your attitude is everything. The
day of Hugo I remember spending time with Terrence and where we were. He
dropped me off at my sister house about first dark. The wind was blowing like
crazy. It was raining, not hard, just big drops. I was oblivious to storm. I
slept through it. When I got up the next morning and saw how bad things were
outside, I realize the totality of what I slept through. I really had no idea of
the seriousness of the storm. There was a downed tree right at the doorstep.
If it had fallen in the opposite direction it would have fell right in the living
room where I slept. Thank God. It was chaos all around town. On my side of town
it didn’t look bad at all. We had lights but cable. Of course we had no school
the following day. I don’t think anyone went anywhere. Looking back at my
calendar I see I used Tina’s house as me and Terrence meeting spot. He had that
gold camero then. Terrence was a really
good guy. He was very good to me. I’m sure I was selfish and spoiled but he
allowed it. I did him so dirty by dumping him to run with the drug dealer
crowd. Maybe he’s glad to know that I’m
paying for it know. I never had anyone to spoil me the way he did. Junior came
second; he didn’t give me time and attention Terrence did.
