I walk down the stairs humming a tune when suddenly my nose is filled with a delightful aroma coming from the kitchen, “huh, that’s weird, I’m the only one in this house”, I mumble to myself as I stride towards the kitchen. I bump into something or someone on the floor and avert my gaze to see who or what I bumped into. I am met with a man probably in his early or mid 30’s, I run to grab a knife and point it at the figure now standing and backing up, “who are you? “what are you doing on the floor? “What are you doing in my kitchen?” “Wait…what are you doing in my house? “Heck, how did you even get to my house?” I ask all in one breadth before exhaling. The figure looks up eyes me for a second and goes back to whatever he is doing on the floor. “Well are you going to answer me or do you want me to make use of this knife? “Which of your questions do you…”, “Hey honey”, another voice calls out behind me interrupting the man from speaking further.

        ~Yesterday night~

Our flight from Philadelphia to LA was delayed so we ended up getting home late. I don’t bother knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell cos’  I know Gaea will already be in bed so we get the spare key from a flower pot on the porch and help ourselves into the house quietly not wanting to wake up Gaea or make her panic. We were so tired that we littered our bags on the living room floor and just made our way to the bedroom.

~Present day~

   I toss and turn in bed before finally deciding to just stand up since the sleep had left my system. “Good morning babe”, a singsong voice whispers in my ear. “Hey”, I whisper back smiling and turning to the direction of the voice. I look around and see that our bags are now in our room and arranged properly to a side. “You are the best, you know that right”, I say pecking him on the cheek, “I didn’t, thanks for telling me” he says with a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. I chuckle and stand up, I am heading for the bathroom, I will join you in a bit okay? “Okay, I’ll be downstairs making breakfast”, he says exiting the room.

         I am done having my bath and dressing up when I hear Gaea’s voice throwing questions at Davies. I quickly tie my hair up and head down before any drama will go down. “Hey honey,” I say as I stride towards her. Mum, who is he and why is he in our house? Besides when did you get back from Philli? You ask a lot of questions girl and is that a way to greet your mum after a while of not seeing her? She just looks at me and then rolls her eye, “welcome mama” . Now can you please answer my questions”. Well I got back yesterday and this is Davies my boyfriend and your new dad I say pointing towards the man who is now standing besides the kitchen sink washing his hands.

                             Gaea's POV
         “What”! I say and the knife I was still pointing to the air falls to the ground. What do you mean by my new dad? It hasn’t even been 5 years mum, it’s hasn't been 5 years that dad died and you think its okay to bring in this nobody to replace him? “It’s been 4 years honey. We can’t keep grieving and closing the door of heart to people who are ready to let us in because of the past and baby, you know I’ll always love you and be here for you”, she said. Love? Did you really just say love? Mum, what do you know about love? You claim to love me? Mum, you left your 17 year old daughter alone in this house for the past two months to go on a 'business trip', only to come home with this guy. No calls, no texts, nothing and you claim to love me? I say yelling at her. I’m surrounded by male neighbors mum, did you for once think that I’m a girl and may not be able to put up a fight against a guy if he decides to force himself on me I as my voice breaks into whispers and tears start flowing down my cheeks. I hated my self for looking and sounding so week in front a stranger but I couldn't help it.You never called to ask if I ate, if I went to school, if I take my drugs, if I’m at all okay, at least I know why now, I say and look towards Davies whose face holds a soft look, an eye of guilt, concern, *scoff*, fake ass nigga I mumble under my breadth turning back to face my mum whose countenance matches that of her boyfriend. I give them both one last glance and storm to my room.
       “Gaea”, I halt as I hear a strange voice with a slight accent call out my name. I don’t answer but whip my head to the direction the voice came from communicating with my eyes, asking him to continue. Getting the hint, he sighs and continues, “You don’t get to blame your mum for anything, it’s not her fault”. No of course it’s not her fault I say sarcastically as I fully turn and take lazy steps towards Davies, it’s mine, no…really, it’s my fault for thinking I will still have someone that will care for me just the way my dad did and ohh, have some manners and don’t interfere in what isn’t your concern, I say poking my fingers in his chest and looking into his eyes with a sly smile. I turn around and I want to take back my words when I see a flash of pain and hurt in my mums’ eye but I threw all that away immediately she starts talking, “Gaea, that’s no way to talk to your elder show some respect to your d…” don’t even try to say that word mum, I half yell with a stern look on my face. You may have moved on and replaced my dad with this guy but don’t ever think I’ll do the same, I say glaring at them both before grabbing my phone off the counter and walking out through the front door.
“GAEA”! *door bangs shut*
