Lisa drowned in the River, for my close friend Jeremy AKA River

She was very beautiful ,stunning woman and from Jamaica. She moved to the states with her family when she was approx. 13. She had a hard time adjusting in her new surroundings. People in her new school looked down upon her. What they did not know that how they treated her would make her stronger later on in life.
As she got older she would find comfort in staying out late and going to clubs until early in the morning . She would find love in any man that had some cash , social status and showed her attention. The thing was these men were just using her and she thought it was love. She was walked over and hurt by many. Her heart slowly hardened and she did not know it.
She started on her career and she found her calling. The business world was fast paced and just what she needed to keep her occupied. Then in her early 30's she got pregnant to some guy from the island. He treated her like shit. He wanted papers for citizenship. So she married him hoping he would change and stay around to father her child. He left her when he did she was pretty much relieved to see him go.
Her lil child became her life. She worked hard and started to take college classes so that she could make a better life for her child. It was hard for her to make ends meet , but she did it. Her family has always been there for moral support. they gave her the strength that kept her going.
When her lil child was about 2 she took her to Negril, JA. For some fun in the sun and so the lil one could see her daddy and granny. She was just beautiful all eyes were on her. She loved the attention but she never really paid much mind to the pick up lines she was given.
One day she notice this white guy who had blond dreads, dark tan, and big blue eyes. He was well known at the resort where she was staying. Where ever he went people would call his name as if he was a star. He had charisma and his own style. The thing was he never really paid her any mind because of her beauty.
The story goes that the first time she noticed him was when he was on stage having fun at one of the resort functions. She did not know that he noticed her 2 days before that on the beach while he was snorkeling. Then again he had 3 women in town that he was messing with so his plate was full.
She would always look for him just so she could take a glimpse and try to figure him out. She would hear somebody call out his name and her belly would turn into butterflies. Her head would snap fast to where his name was being called from. She would just gaze at him from a far.
One day their paths crossed,magic, him going one way and she going the other. As they past one another her eyes lit up and she tried not to stare. That was the first time she saw him up close. She was not disappointed. She liked the idea that he did not try go up and hit on her. She loved his coolness.
He told me that she would get up early and go to the beach with her little girl. She wondered why she never saw him in the morning. Ha Ha knowing him he was just getting to bed as she was getting ready for the beach. Rivers diet consisted of Rum , women and nighttime. I myself never seen him eat any food when I was with him.
The story goes on.............. and it will keep going but that was when Lisa drowned in the River. I would like to say there is a happy ending and I would like to say they are still close........the thing is all fairy tales don't end Happily ever after.
You know I hate put blame on things I don't know about. He never really told how the relationship ended or lasted. I never seen a picture of her. He was very protective of the relationship they had. I know they spoke for a lil while once they got back to the states but for how long I have no idea. I would call him to ask if he wanted to get together for some rum and fun.(meaning a girl hunt) He denied me a lot. He would always say, "I'm waiting on a call". He was so damn happy, but at the same time I noticed him longing for the true love of his life..JAMAICA.
How do I know about all of this? Ha Ha!!! I will never tell and yes, I have talked to some folks about making a movie about it. I used to travel to Jamaica a lot as well. I met River several times down there for the smoke ins. He confided in me a lot of his escapades. His stories sounded so damn unreal, I wrote them down after I got done talking with him. The kicker is 99.9% of all the things he said he did was true. He would move around with the same as I did. Everyone I asked about the stories he told were verified.
Sometimes I would be just sitting at a bar and I would hear his name come up in conversation then they would tell some stories of him.
You see River is in all of us he is our alter-ego. As Sasha is to Beyonce'. I only met him as Jeremy once. It was one of the most sad things I ever saw. Drunk ,depressed , overweight and real pale.
The name of the movie will be called "Bi-Polar Island". Yes I know the right people and we are in talks about it. I just need him to give me the OK to do it.....
