Hard Candy the Finale

Chapter 1

I needed to mentally prepare myself to even have this conversation with Fella. I was at a loss for words because I couldn’t believe he had carried on with these fucking charades. It’s like when you find out something to be fact it’s a lot of things that start to come back to you that you should have taken as a sign.

I could remember Shannon always acting as if Fella was obligated to do for Shauntae or like he owed her something. Anytime Fella wouldn’t do what Shannon wanted there was a certain type of way she would act, then Fella would end up doing what she wanted. I always thought it was because he felt bad for her but now I knew he really did owe her and he owed her big time. I couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of man would deny their child for anyone in the world.

Not only was this child before my time, but she was his child and it shouldn’t have been anything in the world that made him say otherwise. I felt stupid. I had a baby by a man that I now felt was less of a fucking man. How could I be sure that later on down the line, depending on the circumstances, that he would say Ashunti was not his child?

I had sworn I would never cry again because it was the biggest sign of weakness but at this point I felt weak. I always heard people say it’s always something but I thought it was a figure of speech. Little did I know, it had become my reality. It seemed as if when I found the strength to move past one blow it was something that came around to break me down again and I didn’t understand why.

Each time I wanted to just ask why and then I would remember you’re not supposed to question God and that alone would give me a little strength to move on because I knew everything happened for a reason. I had prayed and asked God for a sign about my relationship with Fella and I got more signs than I’d expected.

I never in my life would have bet he would put his hands on me, yet he had, but I was glad I had enough sense to leave and not stick around to risk it happening again. I had a feeling Fella was cheating because certain things were not the same.

I knew he had business to take care of, but he didn’t spend as much time with us as he used to and he missed more nights at home and when he did stay at the house, the nights weren’t consecutive. He always had an excuse as to why he could not make it but it was a bunch of bullshit.

I sat playing situations out in my head trying to figure out why this was happening. Why would Fella bring me into his life to hurt? I couldn’t for the life of me understand it.

After I had cried and cried and began to pull myself together, I began to question every theory as I got dressed and headed downtown to MCC federal prison. I was in my feelings all the way there thinking about all the good things Fella had did for me and the opportunities he had presented me with, but then the bad started to outweigh the good and that’s what did not work for me.

I pulled into the parking lot and applied light makeup to my face because my eyes were a bit puffy you could tell I had been crying and I hated that. I left as much in the car as possible because they didn’t really let you take shit inside the building.

I walked into the building, gave the officer my name and who I was there to see but something inside told me this would be my last visit to this place to see this man.

Chapter 2

I sat at the table waiting and waiting on them to bring Fella’s sorry ass out. I kept watching the clock and minutes seemed like eternities. 13 minutes had passed before I saw him appear in the doorway and I felt my stomach turn in knots.

This bastard had the nerve to sit down and smile in my face like shit was good. I was so disgusted that I wanted to spit on him but I couldn’t end up in this hellhole with him due to an altercation.

Fella was rambling on about how we were still a family and
