I say, turning on the other side of the bed."That was what you said ten minutes ago. GET UP." My blanket is yanked from my sleeping figure. Can't wait to be over with school and join my sisters at college. That shit so annoying. I get up before Dad comes in and drags me out of bed. Let me just say that is not pretty when he does that.I drag myself to my bathroom still with my eyes closed. Stumbling on the door I manage to get into the shower and start to clean myself."Sebastian, get off this shower, what will take you so long?" Pa comes again to rush me.

Khalan "Here you are? I can come at you Mike; we can be together like you want." "You think I'm a fool, Khalan? You're only interested in her." "No Mike, think about it. We can be together, all three of us." I was desperate, saying anything that came to my mind. "Only us?" He asks and I instantly get disgusted with myself, but this is for my daughter. "Yes. We can go far away from here and be together as a family. Is that what you want, right?" "Is all I always wanted. All right, go to the train station, I will pick you there and then we are going to be gone from this city, leave him forever. Only us." "Yes, yes. All right I am going. Bring Kayla too-" "No, she'll be waiting at the place I left her, until I know you're telling me the truth and the cops aren't involved. That's what is going to be." "Okay it's alright. I'm going." I looked at the police station one more time

"We were playing, playing in the grass of the park... I swear, officer. I looked away for five minutes I guess, I was talking to a neighbor friend and then... They are gone. Fuck. Gone. I do not know how that happened... Fuck... Oh my God... Please, you have to help me. We need to find them please." "Sir, I need you to calm down. Tell me your name again." "Andre Smith." "Okay Mr. Smith. Now tell me what happened." Tears fell from the man's eyes. He was desperate. "I brought my daughter Brenda to the park for a picnic. My neighbor has two daughters who were with me too. Aaliyah and Kayla. My boyfriend was also with me-" "What is your boyfriend's name?" "Mike... Michael Knight." "Alright. So, you were at the park playing and..." "Yes, and I saw a friend of mine. She lives in the neighborhood. I was talking to her, for five minutes, I distracted myself for five minutes. They disappeared." "Alright, so the n

Khalan "So are you truly leaving it all behind?" I was saying goodbye to Tina. This last month she was of great help for me. When we first met back in the club, we got along instantly. She is an amazing girl and in my time in Atlanta, we became good friends. "Yeah, I'm done with all this. I did what I wanted for a time, got a taste of the fame but I have to be honest with you. I was never happy. Now I get it. Besides, I have enough money to take care of my family and that's my focus now." "Well my friend, do what your heart is telling you to do. Adam seems like a sweetheart from what you talk about him, so do right by him this time." "I will Tina. So let's get going, I have a flight to catch. Thank you for everything." I say and get up to give her a hug. I needed to thank her; she was the only true person I met along the way. "Good lucky Khalan." --- I tried to contact Adam but without success. He still

"I was planning to have a picnic together, what do you think? You and Brenda could bond. She's a nice girl; she's going to love you." "I would love to meet your daughter Andre; of course I want to bond with her. We've been together for a month now, and I like you, it's time for me to meet your daughter." Andre had a huge smile on his face. He was in love already. "You can also invite Brenda's friends; you said they live next door right?" "Yeah, Adam's daughters." Andre said, putting Mike in his arms to give him a kiss. "Yes. Adam. The one you used to have a thing with." Mike said, trying to sound jealous. Andre laughs, "Don't need to get jealous, baby. That was a long time ago, both of us were needy at the time and it was only a kiss. We are only friends now, he loves his boyfriend and I like mine very much." Andre did not notice the flash of envy that passed by Mike's eyes when he mentioned those two.&nbs
