Chapter 6: Confessions Part. One — and the award for worst mother goes to…?

"Honey!" Alana screamed running up to her daughter, Jaliyah, and giving her a big hug.

"Mom…peo—people do need to…breathe." 9 year-old Jaliyah said.

"Oh, sorry." Clover walked up to them.

"Hey, Honey." Clover said, using her nick name, she gave her a hug.

"Hey, Auntie Clover."

They got Jaliyah's luggage and they walked to the car.

The ride was silent until Clover spoke. "Honey, have a good time visiting your cousins?"

"The best, it was so fun!"

"Cool. You know school will be starting soon."

"I know! I'm finally in third grade, I can't wait."

"That's nice. At least someone likes school."

"Honey, when we get home we need to talk…" Alana said not taking her eyes off the road.

"About?"

"Your…father…" Jaliyah froze, and then managed to say, "you said he was dead."

"Baby, I'm sorry I lied."

"Mom, you're scaring me."

"Sorry, Honey, but it's true."

"Daddy's alive? How come I never met him? Did he not want me." Jaliyah had tears falling down her face.

"Jaliyah, he doesn't know I was pregnant. Can we talk about this when we get to the house?"

Jaliyah didn't say anything. Clover looked for the passenger side of the car over to her niece.

Once they got home, Alana parked the car in the drive way.

Clover, Alana, and Jaliyah got out the car; forgetting all about her luggage Jaliyah ran to the house door. She seen her mother talking to her auntie and couldn't wait until her mom opened the door.

When her mother finally opened the door, she ran into the house and threw herself onto the couch crying her 9 year-old eyes out.

"Baby." Alana said walking up to her.

"Leave me alone!" She screamed her face down on the couch pillows.

Alana couldn't hold back tears anymore she busted out crying and ran to her room.

Clover looked at the stairs, where Alana ran, then looked to where Jaliyah lay. She was torn between mother and daughter and didn't know who to hug and tell them that everything will be okay…
