It was when she had made this realization and voiced it to Jody that she had learned that this wasn’t the life she had wanted for herself either, and she has begun to find a voice within herself as a strong woman. It was because she had been the ideal picture of what Jody had wanted in a wife to a mayor that he wanted her, and not for the love that Janie had wanted and initially thought. He had controlled and kept her beauty hidden from others out of fear of losing a woman that symbolized his power over the rest of the town. After Jody’s death, it had been apparent that her true personality was still somewhat dormant, but definitely growing stronger. After some time she meets her third husband, Tea Cake, that had opened her eyes to what love had really been, as he is the only man she’d met that had ever treated her as an equal. Out of their relationship she had learned what love was really like. It “is lak de sea. It’s a movin’ thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different from every shore.” (191).

She had found her creative mind and her very tenacious personality through him and his encouragement. He had uncovered her true

Sylvia rechecked herself in the mirror before standing up to greet him. She had on her powder, makeup, and jewelry, but she still didn’t feel ready to meet him. She never did, honesty. When they decided to spend more than a few dates together, he’d given her two rules: no touching him when he wasn’t ready, and always be in drag whenever they met. She had no problem obliging to the two rules; for someone of his stature, being with her wasn’t ideal. But even standing ten feet apart and decked up for a night of performance, she held her arms close to her.

Naomi Bellacotte had awoken from the nap at the sound of a heavy book falling off of her bed. The ebony haired, green eyed girl was suppose to meet her best friend roughly half an hour ago so when she saw her side table clock it was no wonder the first words out of her mouth were, "Oh shit!" Naomi was going to culinary school and her best friend had no business anywhere near a stove top so she was planning on spending as much time with him as possible. Three weeks today she broke up with her ex, as he had cheated on her and Michael had nailed him good in the face. the very thought made her smile. Thankfully her best friend was only five houses down the block so she slipped on her boots, fixed her grey short layered shirt, and dead pool tank top before heading out the door. Her long ebony locks were pulled back into one tuggable ponytail. Naomi's parents were on a seven day cruise while she opted out to spend more time with her best friend. She offered to cook them dinner and then they were suppose to have a movie night.

I ran into the dance studio after Ali's dance class ended. I was late. When I got inside, I saw Jenna and Ali sitting on a couch in the lobby. "I'm so sorry. I got caught at work," I said. "It's fine," Jenna replied flatly. "Hey what's wrong?" I asked picking Ali up, sitting down in her spot, and placing her in my lap. "Nothing," she said. "Jen, I know you're lying," I said pulling her into my side. "My boyfriend broke up with me," she said as she started crying. "Jenna he doesn't deserve you if he broke up with you," I said. "But we were together for 4 years," she sobbed. "Shh," I said rubbing her back. "Ugh I'm a mess," she said,"I just need to go home." "Being alone in the worst thing you could do right now.
