Makiya sat in her moms room just admiring the room. She came across her moms diary and decided to to read it.

Page 1 of Kamera's Diary

I had just given birth to my second child Makiya..I never thought I would get pregnant by Tom but I did.

She came out looking just like him I sort of hate it. I didn't want her to come out fully like me but at least somewhat like me.

Even though I hate this man I'm not gonna keep him out his daughters life its unfair.

I wanted to pursue my dreams before having children.. I wanted to at least get married.

I sat in the hospital thinking about all the times Tom hurt me physically and mentally but I never left him.

Not because I didn't want to it was just something keeping me from leaving.

I tried to leave plenty of times but failed. I would never forget when he threatned to kill me and my family.

Crazy ass man.

I promise myself to never let my children see me any type of way or let anyone harm them.

I promise to teach my kids self respect and to always keep their self-esteem high. 

I don't want my kids to go through what I went through as a kid.

Its just not right.

I want my kids to grow up to be strong succesful people not crackheads on the street.

Makiya sat their confused because she was the first born so what does she mean second.

Her head started to spin, thoughts running wild through her head and all she could think was..

I have an older sibling.....?

Danari sat playing with her fingers deciding on calling her ex or not. She really wanted to know if it was her child or not.

She was skeptical because the last time something like this happened it wasn't her child. She didn't wanna be a deadbeat but she didn't want to take care of somebody elses kid.

She sat there for five hours thinking about calling or not.

One thing about Danari she never cussed out her exes it just wasn't in her. She wasn't mean and if she was mean there was something going on nobody could figure out unless you were family.

Nari hated when people she loved was upset she didn't necessarily love her ex but she didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

"Hello?" Bri picked up the phone nervous even though she was waiting for this call. "I want a DNA test." Danari said still playing with her fingers.

"Ight, we could do it next week." Bri said still nervous. "Okay, bye, have a good day." Danari said before hanging up.

She listened to the sound of silence observing everything around her.

She ended up looking at the picture her father gave her when she was 12 before he passed. She walked over to the picture holding it in her hands and thinking about the memories that the picture held.

While Danari held the picture she felt something in the back of the picture frame. She had taken apart the picture frame and found a note.

From Dad: To:Danari
