New Story. This is my favorite, I think I put a lot of me in this story. Yeah, I'm not that diverse..
"Hey Reezy, lets go to this one!" My three year old self says. It was Halloween, my favorite little non-holiday. We went trick or treating, before it happened.
"C'mon! Hurry, it's almost time to go back, Riley. Then we can trade candy."
That boy, Riley Freeman. I remember him so well. When I met him, we connected, best friends instantly. He was so 'gangsta' and I was such a sweetheart, so it was a surprise but he was exactly what I envisioned in a person. In a man.
I loved him. But then he left. Left me with Cairo. Fucking Cairo! No goodbye, no nothing.
I was hurt. This little 8 year old girl was hurt beyond than what anyone could say. I mean you would to, if the boy you loved ever since you were about 3 just left without goodbye or something.
But I grew. It still hurt hell yeah, but I did me, hung out with… Cairo. Me and my crew ruled the school, and I made myself forget Riley Freeman.
Kiona Harris isn't one to dwell on pain.
