Chapter 1
I had a story to tell when I grew old. I had everything planned out. The where, the when, and the who, but all of that changed the night he left. When he left all I knew was instead of laying on the beach I was laying in a thunderstorm. Instead of 10 years, it was 5 years. Instead of holding him I was holding my pillow.
I spent days crying and nights drinking. I would drink away the pain of not having him, I would cry because he was the only thing holding me together or so I thought. I blame myself for him leaving. I pushed and pushed because I was afraid. I was afraid because I knew I was easy to replace, I knew that he would find someone better to love. When he didn't fight to stay I knew something was wrong. I knew he found someone better. I didn't say anything because he would have just lied.
It wouldn't have been the first time he's lied to me about another girl. But each time I took him back. When he came to me on his knees begging me to take him back I did because I was stupid to believe that one day he would change. But this time, I didn't take him back and he said "you're a monster if you loved me you would take me back" he said "you never loved me". I told him "that is bullshit, because if I didn't love you I wouldn't have taken you back each time you cheated on me, I wouldn't have killed myself mentally and emotionally for you. I lost the guy I thought loved me and you lost a girl who loved you more than she loved herself." I believed he was holding me together but it turns out I was holding myself together.
Chapter 2
4 years into the relationship he got me pregnant. We had it all planned out, when we found out it was a girl, we named her "Nevaeh Rose Gomez". She was only a year old when I told him to leave. She's 2 now, she has his gray eyes but my smile. She may have his eyes but she will never be like him, she will be loyal, she will be faithful, I will raise her right.
I don't want to say his name but you will be confused if I don't. His name was "Carlos Angel Gomez". We were never married so I didn't change my last name. My name is "Ana Rose García" I gave her his last name so she could have something other than her eyes from him. I don't know how or what I'm going to tell her about her father. She's still young, maybe I have a while before she starts asking about him. I would never lie to her about her father but at the same time I don't want her to hate him for what he did.
One day she'll meet him. I don't know when. I don't know how old she'll be. But one day she will meet him.. I promise her so much love. She deserves it. When she's 18 I hope she finds someone as amazing and caring as her. I don't want her in a relationship like her father and I were. It will kill me if she's put through the same thing I was. I have to keep her safe for as long as I can. She's sensitive and caring and she sure as hell didn't get that from her father.
He texted me at least twice since I told him to leave and never come back. Each time all he asked for was money. He didn't care how Nevaeh was, he just wanted money.
Chapter 3
Many years later, Nevaeh is 16 years old. She's starting to ask questions about her father. She asks who he is, where he's at, what happened, and why I don't talk about him. I told her the truth. "Your father is Carlos Angel Gomez. I don't know where he is. He was a cheater. He cheated on me and I kept taking him back but once I had you I couldn't do it anymore. I don't talk about him because he broke me and I don't know what to say about him anymore. He wasn't the same person I fell in love with. He's called twice and that was when you were 2 years old and he asked me for money. He never asked me about you. As I see it he's dead to me."
She was shocked that someone like me so sweet, sensitive, and caring would ever love a man like that. I told her, "Do not hate your father for what he has done. You may never meet him but if you ever do just be thankful to have met him. You can ask him why he cheated, why he never called and asked about you. But be careful and don't get too close. He tends to hurt people who love or care about him." She understands why I don't talk about him, she sees why I kept him a secret and she doesn't blame me.
Chapter 4
Things are changing, Nevaeh is 18 years old now. She's hiding things from me, she's keeping secrets. I need her to stop hiding and to talk to me. She's hiding her feelings, she was lying and it's not like her to lie. She's been dating this guy for the last 9 months. His name is, "Javier Cortez”. She says she loves him and I believe her but he doesn't seem safe nor right for her. But who am I to judge? I was with a cheater for 5 years.
I hope she doesn't make the same mistake as I did. If he cheats, I want her to leave. If she loves him more than anything he better treat her right. She said she wants a future with him, that he was her everything. Maybe she is right, maybe she's happy and if she's happy that's all that matters to me. I want her to live an amazing life. I want her to be loved by a man. She's my baby girl, even though she’s 18 she will always be a baby in my eyes. I would hate myself if she ended up hurt.
Chapter 5
5 years later
Nevaeh is 23 and she had a baby. I'm a Grandma. I can't believe she had a beautiful baby girl, she named her Emilia. Javier asked me for my blessing to marry Nevaeh and I gave him it. He proposed to her when they found out they were pregnant. Javier was finally going to be part of the family. It's going to be me, Nevaeh, Javier and baby Emilia.
Nevaeh and Javier are going to have a June wedding. It's going to be one of the best days of their lives and mine. My baby girl grew up so fast. I'm sorta glad her father didn't get to see what an amazing woman she's become, but there is no one else to blame but him. He chose money over his daughter, he chose cheating over his own family. But I did a good damn job on raising her by myself and I'm proud that she is who she is now.
