Latika's POV~

"You're getting married!" I heard my mom and dad say, so happily, smiles on their faces, even my mom had a few tears of joy, streaming down her face. I couldn't let them down. They raised me, taught me everything i need to know... I should support them, if they believe this is what will bring me happiness.

"That's....great! Mom and Dad. Great..." My mom seemed to not have noticed, but my dad pulled me aside while my mom went on the phone, im pretty sure to tell all our families. "You don't like the idea?" My dad's low voice ringed through my ears. "Huh? Oh, no sir...im sorry. I love the idea!" I faked a smile. He still didnt buy me acting, but went with it. "Oh, hun...you know it was going to roll around sometime soon." He embraced me in his strong and big arms. "I know dad. But...not this soon." I let the tears roll off my cheeks to my dad's shirt. "Oh...baby, don't cry...you know we always want the best for you. It's going to be ok. It won't be exactly like we told you it would. You will get to meet him. Infact he is coming tonight. You should go and get ready." "Ok..." I answerd softly, before walking back upstairs to get ready.

"Latika! There are some nice people down here, they want to meet you. Get down here!" I heard my mom. My mom and I were never really close. I was more a Daddy's girl. "Yes Ma'am!" I got my shoes, and put them on quickly, before going downstairs.


"Oh, you've grown so big!" I saw a BEAUTIFUL woman, hug me and give me a kiss on the cheek. Same with her husband, i guess, but he kissed my nuckles. "These are my daughters. Remember them?" Do i remember them? I dont think i've ever met you all... When i turned to see his daughters. Everything flashed back

*Flashback*

"You Bitch!" I heard the boys kicking me in school. On the floor. Everyone else, laughing. "There is no way he fell for you!" Another girl punched me, and i didnt know what else to do, then to just stay there, and have everybody stare, or laugh. without any help. As always.


"Oh my god! Are you ok?!" I heard someone ask. I've never been asked that at school. I saw some other girls
