Janet

The moment Eliz welcomed herself into the apartment door, I felt a gloomy cloud over my head. I tried my best to keep my negative comments to myself, only because Stevanna was in the room. If it wasn't for my daughter I'd give Eliz the same energy.

After Stevanna gave her a talking to, Eliz couldn't look at me. I could tell she felt embarrassed by the way she held her head down. "Janet's going through enough right now, the most you can do is be nice. She didn't have to do what she did yesterday" Stevanna said in my defense.

"I don't know why you're defending her all of a sudden?"

"Because I'm tired of being angry and bitter, you should be tired too. I want to rebuild our relationship and if you cannot support me, then you can't be apart of my life anymore" Stevanna left Eliz stunned with her direct tone.

Both Eliz and I gapped our mouths. "Thank you for raising me but she's still my mother at the end of the day and if you cannot respect that, you can leave" Stevanna said holding her hand out with her palm facing up. "And I want my keys back, you are no longer welcome here"

Eliz looked at me and I held my head down. Honestly there was a small part of me that felt bad for.

"Stevanna, I don't understand you, I don't understand this" she cried.

"I need some space from you" Stevanna turned her head to look at me. I nodded my head giving her a reassuring smile and she nodded back.

Eliz looked between the both of us before covering her trembling mouth. Her eyes began to water as she began to choke up sobbing for a brief moment. Stevanna tried to touch her but she took a step back shaking her head.

Eliz cowardly rushed to turn around facing the door and cried on her way out, leaving Stevanna and I alone. Stevanna held her head down. "I'm sorry about that" she said.

"Awe honey" I jumped up and got to her as fast as I could. Her back faced me, so I turned her around and gave her my hugging embrace.

She latched onto me with her arms around me and her head in the crook of my neck. "I'll be here everyday if you need me" I said rubbing her back.

She lifted her head from my neck, she looked at me with concern all over her face. "What about you?"

"Don't worry about me" I said squeezing her.

Stevanna and I spent everyday together after, I made sure I was present in her day to day after what felt like an attack on our family. At home, Story was giving me a hard time. She began giving me attitude all around the house, she didn't want anything to do with me.

Christopher told me to give her sometime and she'll change. It was heartbreaking, it honestly ate me alive. Sometimes she'd ignore me like I wasn't there and it'd make me cry. Eissa still loved on me and treated me the same way he always did, with kindness.

Only three days after my announcement to the world and I received an email from my team. I was sent a copy of an email sent from numerous of news reports, blogs and people like Gayle King. Everyone wanted a piece of me, just so they can get more tea on my family.

I spent another day with Stevanna again, she didn't want to leave her apartment for a while. Before she didn't have that many run ins with the paparazzi, until now. Whenever she'd leave anywhere outside of her residence, cameras like TMZ found her.
