When I first crossed paths with Antonella, I laid it all out for her. "Look, I'm not dating material right now," I said. My life was a mess – hooked on drugs, living with my mom, no car, no job. But Antonella, she saw something in me. She hung around like she was part of my personal rescue squad.
We went through hell together – even faced homelessness. And then, there was that night I was freaking out, and she showed up like a hero to chase away Christina. I thought we were solid, like she was my ride-or-die.
But then, everything flipped upside down. She had this wild plan for me to marry her ex's mother for immigration papers, and they were even going to pay me. The day after I backed out of this crazy scheme, she declares herself single on Facebook. That's when the ground fell out beneath me.
I knew there was more to this. I'd screwed up back in December, betrayed her trust, and she was setting me up for a fall. She got cozy with Quentin, using some GPS trickery to cover her tracks.
When I found out, all hell broke loose. I was furious, yelling, but I never got physical. Yet, she spun this tale to the cops, painting me as the bad guy. Suddenly, I was the villain in her story of abuse and suffering, while she played the victim, bouncing in and out of shelters.
Desperate to clear my name, I took to the internet, posting videos to tell my side. But all it did was embarrass my family and make things worse. It wasn't about dragging her through the mud; I just wanted to prove I was innocent.
Now, I see it clear as day. I don't need to convince the world. I know in my heart I never hurt her. She’s shown her true face, and it ain't pretty. But, even with all this rage and hurt, I can't hate her. I'm trying to be mad, but it doesn't fit. I'm wounded, sure, but I'm healing, getting stronger every day.
