Chapter 4

"So you're telling me that 16 years ago you ran away form home after finding out that you were pregnant with me." Jamie had tears in her eyes, she was shocked to learn of her mother's past, but most of all she was angry. "You just left, and for 16 long years you never once contacted your parents or my father. I can't believe you lied to me and led me to think that I had no other family." Jamie's voice started to get louder and louder. "Why'd you do it mom? Were you ashamed? Are you still ashamed of me? I just…I..." Jamie's voice became shaky and soon she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Angela pulled her shaking daughter into a tight embrace. She couldn't believe her baby girl was accusing her of such horrible things. In a shaky whisper she said, "No sweetie, I'm not ashamed of you…it's not true…I love you…please baby…I…"

"You love me?" Jamie said with distaste as she pulled out of her mother's hold. "If you ever loved me, you never would have lied to me. I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" Jamie ran to her room and slammed the door, leaving her mother to weep on the kitchen table.

A few minutes later Rayanne and Rickie ran into the room. Gathering Angela into their arms, they just let her cry. Eventually her shaking lessened and her breathing became even.

"Angela, honey, how'd she take it?" Rickie asked as he pushed a stray hair behind her ear.

"Oh…she took it fine…" Angela stated sarcastically. "You obviously didn't hear her yelling on your way over here."

"That bad, huh?" Rayanne asked.

"She said she hated me…I'd never thought in a million years my baby girl would hate me this much." Angela started to cry again, but stopped when her door bell rung.

Elsewhere…

Jordan had been wandering around for quite awhile when he finally stopped at a corner store and asked the clerk to use his white pages phonebook.

"I let you use if you buy" the clerk said in a heavy accent.

"But dude, I just want to look at it." an annoyed Jordan replied.

"You buy." the clerk retorted.

"Fine, whatever, give me that candy bar." After paying, Jordan took the phonebook and started flipping through the pages. Finally he found what he was looking for, so he took his candy bar and headed out the door.

Before long, Jordan found himself in front of a red brick two story house. Taking a deep breath, he rang the door bell. A few minutes later the door swung open and Jordan found himself face to face with…

"Why are you here?" Rayanne said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I…umm…"

"Rayanne...who is it?" Angela asked, stumbling into the room with Rickie right behind her. "Oh my god" she gasped as she found her self staring at her past.

In chapters to come: Angela and Jordan finally talk after 16 years...
