JJ's POV:

I was twenty-two years old and some girl showed up at my house with a kid she claimed was mine. The little girl was six years old, meaning I was around 17 when we hooked up.

I remembered her but not well. We went in and I got a paternity test just to make sure. It came back positive so she was my daughter. Her mom said she was super stressed and we went into court and she gave me custody and then she took off. She just literally left her daughter.

The next six months were rough. I was learning to be a dad to this amazing little girl who was so confused about where her mom went. Things were slowly getting better and today all my friends were coming home from college to meet Aliah.

They all showed up and I introduced them to her. Aliah seemed to like Kie the best. She went into her room and brought out her hair stuff and asked, "Can you braid my hair? My mommy used to do it and my dad doesn't know how"

"Of course" Kie said as she started doing Aliah's hair

Kie brought Aliah into the bathroom to show her and Aliah loved it. She brought Kie into her room and showed her all her toys and she only was interested in Kie. The others left after dinner and Aliah asked Kie to stay and read her a bedtime story. Kie didn't seem to mind. She stayed until I got Aliah to bed and then we talked a lot about the whole situation for almost two hours.

"JJ, call me if you ever need anything"

"I will" I said

The next day, Kie was working at the Wreck, and we came to get food. Aliah was super excited to see Kie again. Kie was so good with her. Kie spent the next week hanging out with us. Today, I had to work so she took Aliah into town to go shopping for a girl's day.

When she got home, she told me all about how much fun she had with Kie. Kie took her to get a pedicure, she bought her some clothes and even a toy. Aliah couldn't stop talking about her day with Kie. I texted Kie and thanked her and offered to pay her back as I knew she spent a lot of money. She declined and said she had fun.

Kie was leaving to go back to school for her last few weeks of college before graduation. She came to say goodbye and Aliah was crying as she didn't want Kie to leave. Kie looked sad too and she bend down so she closer to her and she said, "I have to go back to school for two months and then I'm going to graduate and move back here. If it's okay with your daddy, I'll have you and him come out and see me for graduation"

I would totally buy them plane tickets. Aliah was still super sad and I took a deep breath. I took off my necklace and put it around Aliah's neck.

"My mom gave this necklace to me when I a little girl. I'll let you wear it when I'm gone in college, okay?"

"Thank you" She said hugging me

Kie went back to California and we facetimed everyday, mainly because Aliah wanted to talk to her. Kie and I think it's just because she doesn't have her mom anymore. She was graduating college in a week and we flew out to see her. We were staying in her room with her. It was late and we were all sharing my bed. Kie laid between me and Aliah.

In between classes and finals, Kie showed us around California and Aliah was her little best friend. As expected, Kie's mom and dad were pissed that she was playing house with me. She got into a huge fight with them. Kie and I stayed up late talking about it and I said, "Honestly, I think she likes you better than she likes me"

Kie told me not to worry as she probably just liked having someone that reminded her of her mom. At Kie's graduation, we took lots of pictures, and then I helped Kie and her parents move her out of the house she was in. Her dad had his truck with a trailer for all the larger items. Kie's car was packed full and Aliah and I were driving home with her.
