Chapter 33
( picture of Jayda above)

About 5 years later, life was going great. Anthony was still living with us, but his mom kind of didn't like that idea so she took him from us yesterday. How did she get up here so quick? I'm wondering the same thing. She promised him she would bring him back, but who knows if she was lying or not.

As for me and Jaden, we're still going strong for now. I feel like his drinking habits are increasing though for some reason. I don't know whats the cause of it this time. Tomorrow isJayda's first day of kindergarten and she's super excited.

I am currently in her room talking to her before she goes to sleep.

"So i have to make friends?" She asked me.

"Yes baby. You want friends right?"

"You and daddy are the only friends I need." She said.

"Aw thats sweet honey." I kissed her forehead. "but you need to make friends."

"how do I do that?" she asked fiddling with her fingers. She got that little gesture from me. I remember I used to do a lot out of nervousness.

"You just simply say Hi my name is Jayda. wanna be my friend?" I told her.

"really? it's that easy?" She asked.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"What if they don't like me?" she said sounding sad.

I frowned. "They will like you honey. Your a sweet little girl they would be crazy not to like you." I said.

"okay."

Jaden creaked open her bedroom door and I turned around and saw him in the outfit he wore to a party Mateo was having.

"Daddy!!" Jayda squealed.

"Hey baby girl. Why you still up? don't you have school tomorrow?" He lifted her out the bed and placed her on his hip.

"Yeah Mommy was talking to me about it." She smiled. "She said I have to make friends."

"Yeah you do. You excited?"

"Yeah!" She said in her playful little voice that made me smile.

"That's good." He kissed her cheek. "Daddy loves you okay?"

"I love you more daddy." she slobbed on his cheek and I giggled.

He laughed. "Take yo lil ass to bed." He set her down back in her bed.

He looked at me and I looked down."You good bae?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I cleared my throat. "I'll be in the room in a minute."

He nodded and left the room.

"mommy?"

"Yes baby?"

"Are you mad at daddy?"

"No why?"

"because you didn't jump on him and put kisses all over him like you always do!"

I laughed and sighed. "that doesn't mean I"m mad at him."

"Yes it does." she pouted crossing her arms.

"I'm not mad at him okay? I promise."

"If you say so.."

"It's almost 9 o'clock baby you need to get some rest."

She sighed. "okay mommy but I have one more question."

"What is it?"

"Do you think Anthony is ever gonna come back? I miss him already."
