Lee

Creative Nonfiction

Written in response to: "Write about someone (or something) you loved that you shouldn’t have." as part of Narratively Takeover.

He had me from hello. That hello should not have been. His voice was so sexy,and I just had to meet him. And meet him I did. We moved in together in October after my family kicked me out because I got him out of jail. But I had to he called me at work and asked me "if I would promise to get him out and I did. Well needless to say I ended up in the hospital for two months. When I got discharged from the hospital I never went back to him. I shouldn't have been in a relationship with Lee, he used me and he abused me. May God bless and keep him and keep him safe from himself. Amen I wish him success in all that he does. The night before I went into the hospital,he beat me and thrower a glass candle at me that left a bruise on me from my knee to my foot. That was bad pain. Not as painful as the wound I got because he wouldn't go get my diabetic medicine. By the time he did it was to late the damage had been done. I got an abscess on my right butt cheek that took two months to heal. One good thing about the hospital stay is that I had great nurses and aides. The best.

Lee always knew how to work me. I loved him so much that I would do anything for him. He always wanted my money and of course I would give it to him.

We were together for five years. And the first four years I paid for everything. The last year we were together I lost my job because I was sick. He cussed me said he didn't need me. Then he would come to me and say "baby I'm sorry for fussing got a lot on my mind". Well by then it was to late. Never ever starts relationship with a man that only wants your money. Never start a relationship with a man that doesn't love God. Never start a relationship with a man that doesn't respect you. Give your love to a man that will give you his heart.

Lee did have his good points but he rarely showed them. He was never a man to show love. His own family didn't even like him,his daughter doesn't have anything to do with him. That is not good. I should have known that if your own family doesn't like you then something is wrong with you.
