Scars of a Butterfly — A. Dakala

Dudley Keys was a street smart brother who was hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. To accomplish his goals as a computer analyst and one day owning his own chain of barbershops, Dudley knew he had to make a few life changes. His live in girlfriend, Porsche Randals, was a hood chick out to find the next big baller to get her to the next level in her life. She often made poor decisions, frequently lied and has known to cheat on her boyfriends when not given enough attention. Dudley at times didn't make good decisions himself, Porsche knew exactly how to get to Dudley, just offer him some anytime sex. In the back of Dudley's mind, he knew she sometimes were a road block for him to reach success. A relationship well over due for a break up, Dudley accepted a job further south of the city where he was born and raised. His new lifestyle had plenty of adjustments, by landing a job nearly three hours away, from the crime riddled city of Baltimore, Maryland didn't make things that much easier, since he was leaving behind his girlfriend of 2 years only during the weekdays, and a hand full of homeboys he's known since childhood. Little did he know that a female co-worker (Troyia Patterson) he just met would not only make choices difficult, but she who would change his thoughts, his life and relationship for a moment? In a world full of choices and commitments, friendships can be a tug a war, or just a flip of a coin. Love sometimes brings out the best and worst in all of us. Dudley finds out the hard way that no matter how much of your heart you put in it, someone is always on the opposite end, trying to ruin your moment. Love or lust, people will do anything to be happy or just get what they want out of love. Some of the best things in life are lost moments; once love is gone, you may never get a second chance, you can only look in the rear view as love passes you by.
