"I can't believe I'm doing this." I mumbled to myself.
Today was the day my father was getting out of prison, and he called me to pick him up. He had only been in there a little over two years, which I felt was not long enough. He had beaten my family for years and they only gave him two years. They added some more time to his two year sentence while he was in there for some altercations that he got in.
Usually, for domestic violence, the sentence was six months or less, but since this wasn't my father's first offense, they gave him two years.
My father had beaten my mother and I until I was able to move out. When I moved out and went to college, my mother was still suffering from his beatings. I wanted to help my mother get out of that abusive relationship, but she didn't want to leave. She claimed that she loved him, and that things were going to change, but they never did, until four years later.
I was 24 at that time, and the advice column was just added to the magazine. Mommy had asked me to come work with her at the magazine, and I was thrilled because I had always went to work with her as a child. I don't know what made my mother want to make a change for herself once I started to work for her. Around that time, her and my father got a divorce. My father still wanted to be with her and he claimed that he would change if she just came back, but my mother wanted nothing to with him.
My father wouldn't leave her alone, so she got a restraining order against him. When my father found out about the restraining order, he went crazy. He came to her house and him and my mother got into a huge fight. For the first time, my mother fought back. Luckily, I was there to break up the fight. Even though my father was strong, and a really good fight, it was easy to tell that my mother had won that fight.
Now, two years later, he was able to get out of jail. I wish they could have had them in there for life for all the trauma and stress he caused my mama.
My father knew how much I resented him, so I had no idea why he wanted me to be the one to pick him up, he could have walked or he could have called a cab.
There was no doubt in my mind that he wanted to create a new relationship with me, but how could I just forgive someone who ruined my entire life.
There was suddenly a knock on the passenger side of my car window. I unlocked the door, without looking because I already knew it was him. He got in and put his seat belt on before I drove off from the prison.
The entire car ride was silent until I asked him what hotel he wanted to go to. I was absolutely positive that he had got evicted out of his apartment that he was in before he went to prison.
"How's Kelly?" He asked. I just ignored. I felt like the status of my mother was none of his business. "I said, how's Kelly?" He raised his voice as if he had authority over me. He had lost all rights of being a father to me when he first laid hands on my mother and I. I ignored him once again and turned the volume on my radio up.
Trey's voice made a smile creep onto my face as Forever Yours played through my speakers. I had forgotten that I had my Chapter V CD in here.
I pulled up to the hotel that my father had told me to go to. I put the car in park and unlocked the door so he could just get out.
"Gia, I'm really sorry for everything I've done to you, your mother, and your brother." He said. He sounded like he was being sincere, but he had always been a good liar.
"I hate you." I growled. "You don't understand what us through. Saying sorry doesn't mean anything to me, because you said it so many times when I was a child and you didn't mean it, so how would I know if you mean it now. Just take this money and get out of my car." I said and handed him a one hundred dollar bill. As much as I resented him, he had no money, no way to get food, and no clothes but the ones on his back.
"Gia, I-"
"Just take the money and get of out my car please." I said. He finally took the money and got out of my car.
I drove out of the parking lot of the hotel and to my house. I knew that this would not be the last time seeing him. I knew that he would try to convince me that prison has changed him for the better, and that he'd like to become a part of my life again. There was no way that I was going to allow him to come back into my life, just to hurt me again.

"Gia, you have a visitor." Lauren called from outside my door. I had no idea who it could because Josh would have just entered my room, and Trey was at the studio tonight.
I walked out of my bedroom and to the living room where my guest was sitting. The familiar face sat on the couch. He no longer had his baby face and he had now grown facial hair.
"How did you know where I live?" I asked as I now stood in front of him.
"No hello to you older brother that you haven't seen in nine years?" He asked. Before I said something, he stood up to hug me. Of course I hugged him back since I hadn't seen him since I was 17.
"Now, how did you know where I live?" I asked once again once I pulled away from the hug and we both sat down.
"Mama told me." He said. "How have you been?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Are you going to tell me about why someone framed you?" I asked. I didn't want to beat around the bush I just wanted to get straight to the point.
He sighed. "You remember my friend Red?" He asked and I nodded. "Well his little sister was my girl, when he found out about it he got real mad. Then she got shot in the chest, and she didn't die, but Red thought I had something to do with it, so instead of killing me, he tried to frame me for murder. But he was killed about two months ago, so now I'm back."
"What happened to the girl?" I asked.
"Her and I broke up when I had to leave. But there's something else I have to tell you."
"What?"
"When I came back, she was the first person I reached out to because I knew she would help. Her number was still the same after all this years. I don't want to go into details, but she thinks she pregnant?"
"Okay?" I asked, not understanding what her being pregnant had to do with any of this.
"If she's pregnant, you're going to be an aunt."
My eyes grew wide.
"Did you tell mama?"
"Hell no, do you know how mad she'll be?"
"Ty, you have to tell her. You're grown, she'll be mad, but she can do anything to you. She's the only one who can help.
Once Ty left, the thought of being an aunt never left my mind.
