" still can't find her? " my brother asked barging into my office.

" does it look like I can? use common sense " I said back not looking at him.

" Are you even trying? " he asked.

" yes now go away " i said trying to concentrate on my book.

" it doesn't look like it " he said making me close my book and sigh.

" you're interrupting my peace. now clearly she left for a reason and if i was to find her she wouldn't come back and wouldn't it be wasting our time? " I responded back.

" listen to yourself! It's like you're not even trying! you cried and killed just to find her and get her back but now you're being nonchalant about it! " he said and I just stared at him.

" am i really? " I asked sarcastically after a few seconds.

" Joseph come on man! you were raised better than this " he said.

" She's not going to come back! She doesn't want to be around and what can I do about it? I wouldn't come around me either if i were her because I put my hands on my DAUGHTER! I brought that trauma on her and I didn't even apologize the way i should've.. she's clearly not in America and nobody else in this family knows where she is so what do you want me to do about it? If I couldn't find her then what makes you think I can find her now? " I said angrily.

" LOOK FOR HER! " he yelled.

" I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE'S DOING! LOOK FOR JANESSA!! SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING- JUST TRY! THIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOUR LETTING HER RUN OVER YOU! " he yelled.

" please get out " I said calmly and he scoffed.

" there's the door " I said seeing as he was still standing there.

" right whatever " he said and a few seconds later he walked away.

I grabbed my glass and then my bottle of whisky before quickly pouring it- I think I'll need another bottle later.



" you came! " my best friend said as i appeared in front of her table.

" yeah i know it's been ten minutes- sorry " I said sitting down and saw two other people.

" This is Derrick and This is Raina " she said and i nodded.

" hi nice to meet you " I said giving a smile so I didn't seem rude.

" nice to meet you too! " Raina said.

" yeah nice to meet you " Derrick said and i hummed in response.

A/N: I realized I never showed her bsf-

Her BestFriend * ( 25 ) - Rachel



Raina * ( 23 )



Derrick * ( 25 )



" But yeah I invited you because you are my best friend and these are the two idiots i deal with everyday. " she said and they started protesting.

" he may be a idiot but I am perfectly fine and smart and- " Raina started and got cut off by him.

" being mean to the black man I see " he said a little loudly which made some people look at us.

" shh don't start " Raina said.

" oh we're shushing the black man now? " he said again loudly and people looked at us again.

But this time when people saw me they had their mouth wide open- honestly I didn't think they'd notice me with sunglasses and a hat on.

" why are you wearing sunglasses and a hat? " Raina asked.

" to avoid people " I said.

" Well tell me about you? Any significant other I- we need to know about? " Derrick said changing his sentence when Raina hit him.

" nope, she's single and ready to- " my best friend started and I cut her off.

" So how old are you two? " I asked ignoring my best friend.

" 25 " he said and i nodded.

" I'll be 24 this weekend " she said and i again nodded.

" I'm 24 and I'll be 25 in December " i said and a random person came up to me.

" wait you're Katherine Raines! " she said and i internally groaned.

" yep " I said.

" I really love your work! Can we take a picture? " she asked with a lot of excitement.

" thank you and sure " I said and we took our little quick picture.

When she left I turned back to them and saw Derrick and Raina had looks of shock on their face.

" I didn't even notice- don't you think you should've mentioned that? " she said the last part turning to Rachel.

" Now I see it " Derrick said looking at me and I shrugged my shoulders.

" I'm not as ruthless as my family are made out to be " I said and they looked at me confused.

" Yes I know what I said. I'm not as ruthless as them. " I added after a few seconds and the confusion went away.



Janessa came in the room and went straight to the girls.

" Are you okay? " diana asked before I could.

" yeah " she said and began doing their hair.

" Are you sure? " I asked.

" Yeah " she said and my phone went off.

I quickly looked at it and it was a text from a unknown number.

Unknown: Come to the hallway

I grew confused and quickly put my phone away.

" I'll be back " I said getting up and walking out.

When I got in the hallway I looked both ways and nobody was there so I was about to walk back in the room when my phone went off again.

Unknown: Go to the door that has " a " on it

I sighed and walked to the right and knocked on the door.

About a second later the door was opened revealing the woman from earlier.

" come in " she said with a small smile and I hesitantly walked in.

" I know the texts were weird but I just had a question. " she said and sat down.

" how's your mom? " she asked confusing me.

" Ma'am? " I said back.

" How is Tina? " she asked.

" No disrespect but please don't talk about my mother " I said balling up my fist to calm my nerves.

" it's okay we were friends " she said.

" okay can I leave now? " I asked trying not to be rude.

" yes but please tell her I said hi " she said and i nodded before quickly leaving.

When I got back to the hallway I pulled out my phone and called my mom.

After many long rings she finally answered.

" hey my beautiful girl " she said in a happy tone.

" hey mom " I said happy to hear her voice.

" Are you okay? " she asked.

" yes I am but I have a question " I said and she hummed.

" Did you know someone named Vicky? " I asked and it went silent for a few seconds.

" yes! she was my old best friend.. why? " she said back.

" nothing I was just wondering but can I call you back in like five minutes? " I said walking back into Janessa's room.

" sure but just know I love you and I miss you so much! " she said and my heart melted.

" I love you too and I also miss you, be safe " I said and hung up.

I went back to the bed and sat down and diana looked at me with a questioning expression.

I shook my head and looked at Janessa to see her looking at me.

" Are YOU okay? " she said emphasizing the you.

" I am perfectly fine " I said and she looked at me for a few seconds before going back to doing Nyla's hair.



" Okay but honestly how are you feeling about your mom? " Diana asked.

" I don't know- maybe it hasn't fully hit me " I said brushing Nyla's hair up.

" Oh okay, well have you talked to any of your siblings or the others? " diana again asked.

" nope " I said and honestly I was getting confused on why she was asking me.

" am I being dramatic? " I asked a few seconds later.

" what do you mean? " Stephanie asked.

" staying away, leaving the county, being rude.. all that. " I said and began putting Nyla's hair in a ponytail.

" personally I don't think so because Joseph deserves that " diana said.

" right and don't think he doesn't because he does.. he's a manipulative hypocrite. " Stephanie added.

I let out a sigh and ran my hands through my hair.

" you look cute when you do that " Stephanie said and Diana scoffed.

" why do I have to be the third wheel? wait you two ARE together right? " Diana asked.

" yes "

" yes " we both said at the same time.

" lonely people things am i right? " she said looking in front of me at nyla.

" no " nyla said and we all burst out laughing.

" mommy " Serenity said and I looked to see her staring at me.

" come here baby " I said holding my arms out although nyla was in front of me.

She came over here and fell on nyla so I moved nyla to one side with her on my other.

" my beautiful babies " I said kissing both of their foreheads.

" you're a good mom " Stephanie said.

" I know that's right! " diana added and I gave them a smile.

I honestly love getting that compliment because it means a lot to me. Sometimes I think I'm failing so for someone to tell me that it makes me happy.

" thank you both, and I see the way you watch over these two.. you'd both be good moms too! " I said and they gave me a smile.
