Happy Endings

3 years had passed & today was the day of the trial. I cried every night because whenever I'd seen

Tristan in court he gave me this look, it was just blank with no emotions. He hated me, I caused this.

His mother Ms. Trina always came up to me & hugged me after every court session & asked was I doing

okay. She called every now & we'd talk. I'd graduated a week ago. This was supposed to be the best

year of my life but it was actually the worst. Tears rolled down my face when Tristan was released from

jail because the evidence supported the self-defense claim. In about four hours I'd be leaving to go to the

airport. Michael moved to Dallas, TX, & he'd got in contact with me & wanted me to move with him. I

needed somewhere to stay so I accepted his offer & he sent me a plane ticket.

I had just landed in Dallas, the flight was four hours. I sat down on a bench & dialed Michael's

number. He didn't answer, I thought "oh shit, this man done brought me out here & I don't know

nobody, maybe I could use my savings & get a bus ticket to Shreveport, La, I knew they had

somewhere safe for me to stay called the Providence House they let you live there & even help you

find a house. Yeah, that's what I'll do." I felt someone tapping on me, it was Michael, he kissed me &

said "hey baby girl, you alright?" I answered him "hell yeah, now that I see you." He grabbed my

bags & we went to his car. He had the same car. Our apartment was about 15 minutes away

we lived in a nice apartment. Just as I'd expected, knowing Michael he had really expensive taste.

I was guessing his mom decorated because it was really nice. I went to the room & went straight to

sleep. I knew Michael wanted some sex tonight but hell I was tired.

When I woke up I grabbed my phone & I had a missed call from Ms. Trina. I called back.

Ms. Trina: hello

Me: hey, you call?

Ms. Trina: oh, no, Tristan had my phone he called you.

Me: is he around you now?

Ms. Trina: Yes ma'am he sure is, wanna talk to him?

Me: Yes, I would like to, if its fine with you.

Ms. Trina: sure it is.

Tristan: hello?

Me: hey Tristan, I'm sorry for everything I put you through, I didn't mean it.

Tristan: I won't accept that.

Me: Well, I can respect that.

Tristan: I know you can, but the reason I won't accept that is because you did right by me, I didn't do right by you. I left you & stopped talking to you after I promised to keep you safe. I'm sorry, I just want you to be happy & I pray every night that you find someone to love & care for you better than I did.

Me: I'm not perfect..

Tristan: before you get off the phone I wanna ask you something.

Me: yeah?

Tristan: why is your name Grace?

Me: my name is Grace because when my foster mother got me my name was Bacardi La'Vodka Hamilton. My mom had named me after alcoholic drinks & my foster mom didn't think that was a suitable name for a little girl. She knew what I'd been through & she felt like I was a miracle baby & grace was the reason I was alive so she named me Grace.

Tristan: Wowwwwww, I figured it was something deep.

Me: Thank you for getting to know me deeper.

Tristan: I'll talk to you later, you're welcome & thank you.

Me: You're welcome, bye...

Michael was in the living room watching tv. I came in the living room & stood behind Michael &

wrapped my arms around him & kissed him.  Even though Michael slept around on me back in high

school something about him kept me happy & I was fine with that. I didn't end up with my soul mate

but I did end up with someone who kept me happy.
