"I’m sorry Jodi, I never meant to hurt you this is just something I need to do. We both know that
we weren’t meant for each-other but please don’t let us break up as enemies."

"I’m sorry Bette, I just knew that this day would come eventuality I just would have never thought
that it would come this soon. It’s ok, you spoke your piece and I will come to terms with it eventuality."

I brought my hands one last time to her cheeks as I slowly cupped them and brought my lips
for the last time to hers kissing them softly before pulling away.

"That one I meant, I loved you Jodi. I still do but not in the way we both hoped." I spoke to her
my final words.

"To friends." She said her face now graced with a smile.

That’s when we broke away from each-other and went back to our own lives. And I couldn’t be
more happy even though I knew the task ahead of me would be nearly impossible.

&&&1 Week Later

Home. This is my home even though it more empty then before. I’m in LA again sitting in my
house. House that’s a better word to describe this place. I’m sitting in my house with my angel
which makes it feel more like home for a bit. It has been a week since I broke up with Jodi and
I was still working on my plan to change my life around once again. This time it had to work
because I saw it as a last chance opportunity.

I’m sitting on the living room floor playing with Angelica and she is just so sweet and reminds me
of my tasks more and more each day.

She comes walking up to me in her own sweet stumbling way. She is growing up so fast and
I couldn’t believe it would be her 3rd birthday in one week already.

She made it and falls into my lap upon which I start to tickle her. She jiggles with pleasure and
for a moment I’m whole again.

"Boo, so big birthday coming up." I start talking to her and she keeps on jiggling till I stop
tickling her and she sits herself up straight in my lap. Her feet dangling over my legs and her
against my chest. I bent down and smell the sweetness of her shampoo. It smells like T. I can’t
help but smile.
