Gia
Even a ‘Bad Girl’ deserves a Good Guy
He was handsome and from a good southern family.
I was beautiful and didn’t know my real family.
He was strong and self-confident.
I was broken and never knew confidence.
He was everything to a girl who had nothing.
I was everything to a man who needed nothing.
He told me I would be his queen.
Then, three years later, he stripped me of my crown.
After our son was born, I “fell down the stairs” and broke my arm.
At the hospital, I found out I was pregnant again.
Two months later, I “ran into a door” and hid my black eye behind designer sunglasses and a fake smile.
In my last trimester of my second pregnancy, we went to meet some of his old college friends in New York City. I took too long to get ready. He told them I had the stomach bug.
I was once an eighteen-year-old girl, married to her high school sweetheart turned tormentor.
That fateful night in New York City, a cycle was broken.
Now, I am empowered …
Today, my name is
Gia
…but only for a few weeks out of the year.
