Love Is Complicated

Chapter 33

Zuri POV

Fast forward 5 years, Zuri is now 23, Myla is 6, the twins  are girls and their names are Eve and Zoe and they are 5. In summary, she and Jayshuan broke up after a simple argument but still talk. She's now single and lives by herself after she started a business.

6:00 AM

I wake up and wake up the kids for school.

I tap Myla's shoulder.

"It's the first day of school! Aren't you excited?" I say trying to hype Myla up. She sits her head up and then falls right back to sleep.

I go to the twin's rooms. I shake them.

"It's your first day of kindergarten! Get up!" I say to them pumped.

They immediately jump out of bed and give me a kiss. I smile and bring them to the bathroom. I already gave them a bath yesterday so I just put on more lotion and deodorant. I put on their uniform and put some oil on them. I brush their teeth afterwards.

6:30 AM

I walk into Myla's room to see her fully changed.

"Did you put on lotion, deodorant, and oil?" I say curious.

She nods.

"Go brush your teeth," I say with a smirk.

She sighs and walks to the bathroom.

I get the twins and start to do their hair. I put both of their hair in 2 plaits.

"Eve, sit still so I can do your edges," I say frustrated.

"Can we talk to Daddy?" Zoe asks me.

I think about it.

"Not right now," I say stressed.

"Go eat cereal. And Myla don't even think about eating my waffles." I say seriously.

She nods and all of them walk out.

7:50 AM

I rush in my car and buckle all of them in. I rush to the school and the teacher understands I'm very late and walks them in.

I go back home and walk inside.

I started to get bored. I open up my old diary.

One of the entries said:

Hello Diary, life has been a journey but maybe I need to stop being so difficult. I mean yeah people don't understand my shit but I've been a real bitch for the past year. To my dad, my mom, even my crush. This entire moving thing just has me so stressed. I just need someone. I don't know who but someone.

I start to read other entries.

This one was when she was 8

Hello Diary. Grandpa died today. Even though I didn't know him very well, I still miss him. Hopefully, he can come back one day. My dad told me today which made me even sadder since it's my birthday.

A past entry before when she was 6

Hello Diary. Im very sad. Grandpa died today. I miss him alot. My mom told me on my birthday

Something isn't adding up.

I'm about to open up another page until I hear a knock on the door.
