Amelia

I t felt strange waking up in my apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey. Although I had bought it for a new start after Lucas, I never imagined that I would go through with it. But seeing LaTroy was too much to bear. I know running away wasn’t the answer and I do feel like a coward, but it was all I could do. I needed to just get away from it all. Plus, I was warned to stay away and I was, but LaTroy wouldn’t and it was starting to get at me.
My girls were angry that I felt like I needed to leave, however, they understood and supported me nonetheless. All I could do now was get on with my life, and try to get back to normal as much as possible.
It wasn’t easy though. Some days I felt like I was able to just completely forget about it all and do me, and then other days it was like I couldn’t get out of my thoughts. When Lucas left those months ago, he left me a shadow of the person I used to be. There’s only so many times a person can hear how stupid, useless, and fat they are until something inside breaks down to nothing. I used to be a bubbly and chatty person, easy to make friends with anybody, and be the life of the party. Not a loud, show off person, but I knew how to have fun and enjoy myself.
But I was left barely able to make eye contact with people, and I hid behind my clothes hoping to become invisible. I was just trying to build my confidence up when I met LaTroy, and although he was rude on our first encounter, there was a kindness that I saw in his eyes. And once we were able to get past that, he somehow helped me to be that fun Amelia again, and we used to spend so much time talking and laughing together. Which I usually only did with my girls.
I still wasn’t comfortable in my own skin, but as the days went by with LaTroy, I felt my confidence resurfacing because he used to look at me like I was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, even before we ever had sex. It was just something in his eyes that made me feel comfortable, and that he actually enjoyed spending time with me. I don’t know, like he was always looking forward to seeing me. I was far from ready to share my body with anybody, hence why I wanted to have sex with LaTroy in the dark, but I was on my way to finding me again.
And as a result of being around him, the jeans and shirts started to come back out instead of my usual maxi dresses, and I started feeling girly again. He made it easy for me to do that, and then when we made love, we connected on a spiritual level. I bonded myself with him in a way I never knew was possible, and I wanted nothing more than to be with him. I foresaw it and imagined it until I could almost taste it, and then to have it snatched away from me in a web of lies, was too much for me to fathom.
It hurt me to know that the future I wanted so badly with him was nothing more than a foolish girl’s fantasy that would never happen. But what topped it off for me was that everything that I felt coming from LaTroy that helped me break out of my dark hole and be that bubbly Amelia again, that Amelia who trusted people, was all false. It felt like I climbed to the top of a ladder only for somebody to sweep it from under my feet, and left me to crash back down to earth.
He made me feel beautiful, but that was a lie! He made me trust him, and that was a lie! He made me fall in love with him thinking we could be together, and that was a lie! It was all a façade, and I fell for it.
Enough of that anyway, I had spent the last two days sitting in my misery, and now I just wanted to get out of the house for a few hours. I decided to go to Best Buy and take a look around, just to keep my mind occupied because sitting in my room thinking didn’t help the situation. Plus, I needed a new tablet since the last one decided to just shut off on me.
I was due back to work on Monday, which I was looking forward to and I wasn’t at the same time. I just hoped to God that LaTroy got that I didn’t want to talk to him anymore and left me alone.
I can’t believe he played me like a fool! He was so convincing, I really believed he liked me. I shook my head just thinking about it, and decided to push it to the back of my thoughts and get on with it.
I was free now, wasn’t any need to see him ever again so I was good! I was going to be good, and I was going to make sure that I was good!
I had a little breakfast and got ready to leave my apartment. I really needed a car again because with the amount of money I spent on taxis, Ubers and trains, I could have bought a car by now.
Why was I so stupid when it came to men? I allowed one into my life who got into my head and made me feel so ugly, and like there was something wrong with me. He was able to get me to give up my car, which was a part of my independence, and left me relying on him whenever I needed to leave the apartment. But did I learn from my mistake? No! Instead, I let another man into my life, and he tore me down to the point where I had to leave my town and move away!
God! If I never learned before, I definitely learned my lesson then. The next man who I let hurt me, I could only blame myself.
Climbing out of the taxi, I paid the driver and headed into Best Buy. I always liked browsing this store for reasons I could never explain. It was just a nice feeling walking around, looking at things, and yeah, sometimes buying something felt even better.
I headed straight for the tablets and looked around. I stood eyeing up the iPad Pro and played around with the one they had on display. I noticed two bodies stopped just beside me, and at first I ignored it and continued to look at the new tablet that I was definitely thinking about buying.
The two people were still standing close to me because I could see their shadows hovering around me. I don’t know why I looked up, but when I did I wished I hadn’t because I looked up into the eyes of Lucas!!!
I fumbled over my feet and almost fell on my face. He was standing there looking at me with a smirk on his face with a woman next to him, who was looking at me with the same face. He whispered something in her ear, and she smiled at me.
“Amelia,” his voice rattled against my ear drums and sent shivers down my spine. He looked at me with his beady eyes, and all I wanted to do was run away.
“Ah, come on. You not going to talk to me?” he said with a devious, spine-chilling smile spreading across his face.
“Is this her?” the woman said, pointing at me. She was my height, a little darker in complexion, and slim thick. She was pretty and had a flawless make up face. She had long weave in her hair that was straightened and parted down the middle. She had on a gray sweater dress that was short and showed off her slim, toned legs. Her eyes travelled down my body slowly, and I hugged my body to cover myself as I felt so body conscious after she did that.
“Damn girl, you couldn't fix yourself up?” She laughed at me. “I see why you left,” she said to Lucas.
I looked down at my clothes before looking back up at them. He was wearing dark jeans, huaraches, and a Nike t-shirt. Whereas, I had on one of my maxi dresses that were three sizes too big, which didn't flatter my body at all, and an oversized cardigan on top. My hair was pulled up in a messy bun.
I felt so intimidated and ugly standing before them, which is all I had been feeling since things went down with LaTroy and me. Lucas kept his eyes on me, and it made me feel uneasy.
I had not seen him since he walked out of my apartment all those months ago, but not before saying some nasty things to me. As I stood looking at him, his last words to me played over in my mind like a movie.
I was trying to do you a favor by being with you! I tolerated your body, but damn, I can't do it anymore. You think you're better than me because you got a degree and a bank job with your basic looks and fat ass! I don't know what I was thinking, putting myself with somebody like you. I can't even fuck you properly without my ass getting crushed to death by you.
His words sliced through me that day. I swore never to allow another man to break me down like that again, but I made the mistake and let LaTroy in.
I pulled my cardigan around my body trying to cover up and they started laughing. I dropped my head, and looked at the floor which was what I did whenever I was in this man’s presence. I can’t believe that I ran from one man and ended up running right into the other.
“Come on, Lucas, she’s obviously a little slow
