relinquish thoughts of Shante and continue walking up the stairs. Regain control? Mike was
right; I have lost control. That realization becomes all too clear as soon as I plant my foot on the
last step.
Frozen, I stare at the door of my apartment. The secret I've been hiding from everyone for
months has finally caught up with me. I knew this day would come, I just didn't think it would be

moment--the moment where I can no longer hide from the consequences of my actions. There,
in front of me, lies the truth. My ugly reality, attached to my front door.
Slowly, I walk the few short steps required to make it the rest of the way home. I peel off the
eviction notice that is taped to the door and gently place my key inside the lock. Lightly, I push
the door open with the palm of my hand. With a heavy foot, I step inside, and close the door.
