Monica POV
|Mrs.Blaine Office|1 month later
Nina Simone Blackbird playing
Why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
No place big enough for holding all the tears you're gonna cry
'cause your mama's name was lonely and your daddy's name was pain
And they call you little sorrow 'cause you'll never love again
So why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to hold you you ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand dear nobody wants you anywhere
So why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly

"So when you hear that song what relations and connections can you make?" Mrs.Blaine asked me as I sat there with my head down and my right leg crossed over my left knee and with my arms crossed"Monica?" She asked as I looked up
When you at look me you don't see the glowing brown skin girl anymore.The girl who was such a go-getter and determined person in life. When you look at me now you see someone who is broken down to the point there are no pieces to put me back together. I am at the lowest point in my life and in a hole deeper than 6ft.
"It means my life." I say as I wiped the small tear that fell from my eyes "it means my life because my mother was lonely to the point she not only allowed my father to pain her but my siblings and me as well. I went through a sorrowful relationship that damaged me to where I felt I couldn't love again. I'm tired, Mrs.Blaine. My wings are broken? So as the song says"Why you want to fly blackbird?"." I say as she looked at me and took her glasses off
"Why do you want to fly Monica?" She asked me
"So I can succeed?" I asked with confusion
"If you have to question to something it's not meant for you. I want you to think about that question Monica. Why do you want to fly? I don't want a simple to succeed. I want you to think?" She says as I did a small nod.

I took a slight right that led me straight into Malcom's driveway. Once I was parked I grabbed my things and got out. I used my key he gave me and unlocked his door and went inside. Ever since the whole situation I've distanced myself from everyone who loves me. If I could distance myself from Malcom I would, but in reality, I don't want to. I feel safe with him.
I put my things down and went to the bathroom down the hall. When I entered I went to the tub and started my water, and added soap gel to add bubbles.
Before getting too comfortable I press shuffle on my relaxing playlist.
The first song to play was Pieces Of Me by Ledisi
What a coincidence. Right?
Pieces of me by Ledisi playing
People just don't know what I'm about
They haven't seen what's there behind my smile
There's so much more of me I'm showing now
(These are the pieces of me)
