The Truth Be Told In Detroit

Edward's POV

I've been keeping a secret... for 16 years....nobody has ever known or the truth of why Joan and I got a divorce. It was pcyhological problems, and I shamefuly cheated. Will when I cheated, nobody knew that I got the woman pregnant. And she had the baby girl, Arielle. She's 16 now, and I haven't seen her since she was 5. I was ashamed.. nobody knows that Arielle is my daughter, except for me and the mother. Ariana haves a little sister she doesn't even know about....I can't keep the secret no longer...the guilt eating me alive. Its time to confess...

Arielle POV

I'm 16, I'm the only child. Its just me and my mom, I don't know my dad. The last time I seen him is when I was 5..11 years ago great dad huh?. All my mom told me was he cheated on his wife, with her and got her pregnant. And then came back 5 years later to just see what I look like & then he left. Never came again. I don't even know his name, my mom said it isn't important. I just left it at that. My mom worked her butt off to give me the best life possible & she did. I love my mom to pieces. Me and her are extremely close. She's my favorite person ever, the strongest woman I know. And I'm very grateful for her. But something has been up....I don't know what it is it's just not right...I need to get to the bottom of it.

Arielle- hey mom, do you have a min to talk?
Sophie- yes sweetie, what's up?
Arielle- you have been acting different lately... what's going on, don't lie to me.
Sophie- nothing has been going on babe.
Arielle- mom please! I thought we we're honest with eachother.
Sophie- we are elle. Nothing is going on.
Arielle- mom....tell the truth.
Sophie- sighing. I'm not getting out of this am I?
Arielle- nope. Tell me.
Sophie- alright, alright. Your dad has been wanting to get ahold of you...
Arielle- are you fucking kidding me?!. Why now!!!!!?
Sophie- elle! I don't know...but the choice is yours.
Arielle- did he tell you why?
Sophie- will you have a sister he wants you to meet.
Arielle- what's his number?
Sophie- right over there. I think you should call him elle. Give it a shot, start over.
Arielle- I'll think about it.
Sophie - alright babe, that's good enough for now. Meanwhile I gotta go to work, your food is in the fridge. Ill see you later. Kissing her forehead. I love you.
Arielle- love you.
Sophie - piece of pie?
Arielle- piece of cake.

I have been thinking about what my mom said to me, and I'm gonna call my dad. I need to start over. Not for him, but for me.

Arielle- hello?
