Hate Crime

He called me on the phone. Which he never did. We only ever text. So I knew it was urgent. I was at work and I answered.

"Hello...?"

"Don't go back to our house! Something just happened!"

"What's going on?!?!"

"Just promise me you won't go back home!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

"I'm at the hospital. Some guys just verbally assaulted me in our front yard. They were native. They assumed I was gay. They asked me if I knew what 'reparations day' was. I didn't answer. I got in my car and left to go back to work. They followed me and drove me off the road. They damaged my car. I'm getting checked out. I seem to be okay, I'm just very shook up..."

"Why can't I go home to our house???"

"They are there, those guys, they tried to break into our house."

I immediately went home. The police were there. Our home had been broken into. 

We had been hate crimed.

He came home shortly after. We held each other all night, finding comfort in each other's arms.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
