The Next Morning
"Have you seen my daddy" I heard as someone tapped me
I open my and come to the realization I was at Enzo's place. I was really hoping last night was a nightmare. I stand frozen, the words echoing in my mind like a distant thunder. I've just discovered the identities of my birth parents, something I've feared and avoided for so long. The news leaves me feeling confused and uneasy, a whirlwind of emotions churning inside me. Part of me is relieved to finally have answers, but another part is terrified of what this revelation might mean for me. The memory of my foster mother's wrath, her violence when I first tried to uncover my past, hangs heavy in the air.
"Um no sweetie..he's not here?" I asked her looking around
"No I don't know where he is" she said
"I'm sure he'll be back soon" I said trying to reassure her
"But I'm hungry" she said
"I can make us something to eat..what do you want to eat?" I asked her
"Pancakes!" She yelled excitedly
"Ok um-" she cut me off
"Calliope, my name is Calliope" she said
"I'm Lelani" I said and she smiled
Right when we were walking into the kitchen Enzo came in with food in his hand.
"Daddy" the little girl yelled running into his arms
It was beautiful to see, you could tell they had a close bond.
"Cali take your plate in your room" he said handing her the food
"okay" she said
"I'm sorry about that I had got a call from Shanice, then I went to pick up the food" he said setting the food down on the table
"It's fine..is everything ok" I asked
"Yeah she needed a bartender for the art galleries opening and she asked if I had any to spare. But I'm already down a bartender and we have a big party coming up" he said
"I could work the opening" I said
"But your already working at the bar" he said
"Yeah not anymore.. I'm not going back there" I said and he looked confused
"But I thought you liked it there weren't you close to your boss" he asked
"I forgot you weren't there for the shit show that happened last night" I said
"What happened" he asked
"I found out that Athena and Elias are my birth parents" I said and he choked on his food
"Your a Moretti"
"I guess so..I'm not even sure how this even happened. Nobody really went into detail" I said
