[ baleigh died.
those words escaped my mother's lips on may seventh, twenty-eighteen at six thirty-eight pm. i was in shock; i didn't immediately crumble &
crush. i didn't eat dinner, which started my eating disorder. no dinner to no lunch & no breakfast to a hospital trip.
days passed by & her killer was in custody after a forty-eight hour manhunt. he was then charged for multiple counts & was offered life with parole by my aunt. it was rejected by him. he is now begging for it, but the judge will not give it to him due to the rejection that happened in 2019. he has been living in jail but will be sentenced to death row on august twenty-fifth.
the reason she was killed was because she was going to disclose the sexual relationship the two had. she always seemed to have been under his control & i feel selfish. when she died, i cried about how much i needed her, when really, she needed me.
she suffered silently because she couldn't tell me & i truly feel so sorry for the sole fact that she felt she couldn't tell me. it upsets me. i honestly thought we were like best friends, but i guess that isn't the case.
so, i'm sorry, baleigh. rest easy. i love you 🤍👼🏼 ]
