Tasia you can't be fucking serious about going back there?

Baby I have to go I know it sounds ridiculous but I have to go back home.

Those people kicked you out as a child. What do you mean you have to go back?

I.. I need closure baby as much as they hurt me, I need closure. I.. I know who they are they showed me that physically and emotionally, but I have things I meed to say to them. With them inviting me to visit them this thanksgiving I have the opportunity to say them. I know why you're scared for me to go back but I'm not the same little girl they threw out that night, that little girl was forced to grow up before that day but she's grown up more since that day.

Ok just be safe if you need anything call me I'm only an hour away, I'm gonna be right back and help you pack give me a few minutes.

Ok baby I'm gonna finish packing, but don't you mean 3 you do live 2 hours away from campus?

Yea you're right my bad.

I head back to my room and write a letter for her full of encouragement I know she's gonna need it while she's around those sick people. Little does she know I'm not going home for thanksgiving, my mom decided to take on more hours for the week and she's working thanksgiving day, I finish everything and head back to her room.

Daddy I'm back.

She picks me up and hugs me super tight.

This week is gonna be super quick, you got this.

You came around quickly.

I never came around but you said this is something you need to do, who am I to stop you from doing that thing.

I get down and when she's not looking I slip the letter in her suitcase along with aromatherapy face mask under some clothes.

You mentioned this week will go by quick I don't even think I'm gonna make it in that house a whole week, but I gotta go the bus is gonna be here in 20 minutes.

I'm gonna miss you so much daddy, we haven't been apart for this long since we met.

She kisses me then leaves, I put on her brown hoodie and lay in her bed.

I get on the bus and try to clear my mind, I'm very nervous but I know I have to do this for me. I also have some things I had to leave behind, I really hope it's untouched.

It's been a hour and I'm finally make it back to the place I rested my head as a child, this was never a home for me. My palms start sweating a little, I feel the nerves building but I just breathe and remember the video on my phone. I text Raji I made it and that I really miss her being in my arms.

After 5 minutes of calming myself down I finally knock on the front door.

What the fuck are you doing here? I thought we got rid of your ass?

Your sad excuse of a husband invited me to come back, take this up with him now get out of my way.

Still nasty and disrespe-
