So this is a long and ridiculous tale that at times doesn’t even seem to be real..

I started dating and ex which never works btw. And we were dating for almost four months when i went back to Vegas to visit my best friend from middleschool, and to work in her business. I was there a week and he was coming the next week. We fought for 5 hours before my flight begging me to cancel my flight but that was $940 worth of tickets and there was no way i was going to swallow that crap.

So i went and we fought till i freaked out and told him if he acted crazy one more time i was leaving him and that would be it.

So he gets there and instead of helping watch my son so i could work he stayed at the store asking my questions every ten seconds. In a more laid back store that might be fine but a customizing t-shirt business three days before Christmas i don’t think so.

So the 1st day i let it slide but get upset when he puts my son down for a 5 hour nap. When he doesn’t get naps. The next day (tuesday) I take 3 hours off of work to drive to the mountains to sow him where I went camping as a child. He was impressed by the beauty and the quietness and I was happy that he finally stopped complaining about Vegas. So we went to the store and the same thing happened I gave him a list of things he could go an do with Shaderek but he stayed at the store, and he put Shaderek down for another 5 hour nap which is too much for a 2 year old.

So it was Shadereks birthday and we went out to dinner. We went to a fancy-sh restaurant and Gwen Shadereks grandma called and I talked to her for 15 minutes. Which made Brandon furies s. At the end of the meal the messed up our bill and only charged us $15 for three hamburgers so we quickly got the cash together and threw the money down to leave. Because I understood what was going on and Angie did but Brandon didn’t het got furies for not understanding and stormed out. So we bought in the car the entire ride home. Because I didn’t talk to him at the dinner table or the ride to the restaurant. WE SPENT ALL DAY TOGTHER!! I thought it was okay to be quite for 20 minutes.. So at the table earlier Angie said she would watch Shaderek and we could go out then the next day she wanted me to go out.

So we took her up on her offer and fought the entire ride to Cadillac Ranch. We watched Angies room mate Will perform had one beer because they were 6 dollars apiece. Then went home obviously it sucked, then I got dragged into some pity sex which was ridiculous cause I was completely not in the mood.

So the next day comes I take another 4 hours off of work to show him Hoover damn we go to to work I tell him to stay home go somewhere. We got off work at 7 came home to change to go to Jeremy Cornwell play. Well I guess he annoyed and bother Angies room mate Will into watching Shaderek which it was suppose to be just an girls night out and he freaked out.

I told him I was not fighting I was a grown adult and if I wanted to go I would. He texted me 200 times saying I was a bad mother. Because this was the 2^nd time in 4 months I went out and had a few beers. He said he was calling the cops because I stole his phone. In reality I paid the deposit and the phone cost to be added to his plan.

Check stub proof!

So we got home at 2 and he’s waiting for covered in sweat and ready to fight which I am not. I don’t believe I did anything wrong. So he starts to fight and I say I’m not fighting with you.

He grabs MY PHONE and leaves. He caught a cab. I freak out because he has my phone so I turned off our debit cards. He goes to the airport and starts to call MY MOTHER at 4 in the morning. Saying I neglect Shaderek and that I abuse him. He starts texting Angies phone saying he’s going to jail.

I ignore all of this and went to bed. To wake up to my parents calling Angies phone freaking out thta I did something so terrible.  A rather huge fight with them.

So I guess Brandon gets home and the 1^st thing he does is remove 400 dollars from out account.

Proof that he overdrew the account!

When he knew that I hadn’t paid any of the bills for December.

So I freak out and call him and he tells me he doesn’t know anything about it.

He also decided to find my old phone and break the simcard. He wrote “I love u wifey” on a pair of underwear and on all the mirrors. Just weirdo shit. He then was texting me that he was moving the cars to the alley and leaving them there so that they would be towed and then he was locking my only keys in the house. Till I called my dad who called my grandma to come to my house immediately to get the key from him.

Fast forward to when I get home. I finally cleaned off all the places he wrote “I love you” and come to realize he had deleted me from his friends list.

He has my phone still and keeps it charged and was texting my friends. He logged on to my facebook account and posted a status updated pretending to be me.

He was telling his friends crazy shit and they of course ran and told me.

Fast-forward another week he has now started to email me saying he wants to marry me and work it out. I asked him 30 times why he stole my money. To make it better he says he’s coming over to talk about what happened. He is 7 hours late and comes in the house frozen acting like he walked here from Iowa falls when in reality I know he was at Jays. People saw him walking from his friends house. So I let him stay I cry I yell I really don’t care what he has ot say. He still never shows me this imaginary ring.

I wake up the next day after he leaves and check my computer and see he has looked up our joint account sees that there’s still 400 bucks in savings and he goes to withdraw it. Leaving me with 000 in cash till the 17^th of January. Still 2 weeks away.

So I freak and email him about 15 times then instead of answering he shoot back why was I looking up how to be a serial killer. OMG “how to be a serial killer” is a great indie time film that as Matt Grubber. An actor I have an intense crush on. So instead of thinking hay she’s looking up a movie he thinks I’m trying to be a serial killer. Really I think this boy has more mental problems than I can help him with.

So I finally put my foot down and told him he has until January 34^th to put all the money he stole back in the account and return the things he stole (gameboy ds, a game, and body jewelry)

Then we can talk about being together.

And I am really trying to stick to this. I need to grow a back bone!!

Will update with my progress!!

A copy of the voicemails he was leaving me!

Our last emails!

So Gwen and I currently have a piece of Dere’s bright pink hair that they took off him when they did the autposy. That’s fine. I keep it in a box and look in on it from time to time to make sure it’s still there. What bothers me to the core is when i where an old shirt or grab a pair of pants out of the closet, and there wrapped in the seam is a long bright pink hair. It shakes me to my center, it makes me sad and happy in weird ways. Like Derek’s watching me and yet like his haunting me. I always take the hair and whisper a little prayer depending on how i feel between i miss you i wish you were here. To i can’t beleive you did this to me, and let it blow away in the wind.

As soon as me and Gwen (Derek’s Mom) started talking about getting memorial tattoos. The first thing that popped into my head was a sparrow, and a bright pink sparrow at that.  I’ve had trouble deciding on where to place it. But I’ve come to the conclusion on my right shoulder. To hopefully launch a full arm piece.  It was a weird choice for a tattoo but after researching and finding out the sparrow is a common memorial and love tattoo. Sparrows mate forl life. Intresting huh?

Basic Sparrow Tat info:

Love and Loyalty

You may not perceive the common sparrow as the bird of love, but many people do. When sparrows mate, they mate for life. Nice idea, isn’t it? So for some people, sparrow tattoos are all about love and loyalty.

Sparrows used in this context are often tattooed in pairs. Posed together, they can symbolize a current union. Another popular design is to pose one sparrow looking forward, and one looking back. This symbolizes letting go of a past relationship, and looking ahead to a new one.
Memorials
Modify this swallow tat to a sparrow.

The ancient Egyptians believed sparrows would catch the souls of those who had died. In modern times, sparrow tats are sometimes used as memorial designs for loved ones who have left this earth. The birds can be inked holding the ends of a banner that bears the name and birth/death dates of the person being memorialized.

I’ve downloaded quite a few sparrow tattoo ideas. But i think i want to draw something. So since I havn’t had the money or time, or the lack of faboulous tattoo artist in the area. I decided to draw something out and add it to my webpage as my first post. So this is for you, the one that was annoyed but the constant clatter of the keyboard in bed, the one who thought i charged too little, and worked too hard.

You will always be in my heart and in my head.

Always and Forever
