Getting to know me

My name is madeline Jackson-Smith I am 16, my birthday is July 17. I am 5'6 with long, curly, jet black hair. I am the only child. And right now I just got off the bus walking in the rain to find my dad who doesn't know I exist. When I got to the address, my dead mother gave me, I hesitate to knock but I did. Some lady answered the door. "May I help you" a lady with brown hair asked opening the door. I looked at her and the little girl clenched on too her leg. "Yes, I'm looking for Joshua smith". The lady told me to wait one second and walked away, two minutes later she came back. "Come in and have a seat he will be up in a minute" the lady said letting me in. Five minutes later an little skin man, with jet black hair appeared in the little hallway. "Yes, may I help you" he asked shaking my hand. "Uh, actually yes, I uh" I Said not being able to get the words out. "I'm sorry I didn't have a meeting with you did I" he said looking confused. "No, here" I said handing him the brown envelope. He looked at it and handed it to me. "come with me" he said. I followed him to the basement. "Can you read that it's really a lot" I looked down at the paper and began to read
"Dear, Joshua
I'm writing this letter because 17 years ago, we conceived a baby girl, her name is Madeline Jackson-Smith. I know we weren't together, and you had a hard time getting through college, and I didn't want to bother you with the stress of another baby. So I did what I thought was best, and didn't tell you. But know here comes the time when she needs you the most when Maddy was 14 years old I got diagnosed with lung cancer. They said I had 1 year to live. I had stop in front of your house one day and I was going to tell you all of this but when I saw you coming outside with your son and you had another kid I didn't and I am sorry, but since you are reading this I have already past. Now is the time Maddy needs you the most, to be a father for her. Please guide her in the right path,
Love, Macy Jackson".
Joshua looked surprised. "I don't know what to say" he said still shocked. "Honey, holly's on the phone" the lady yelled down the step. I looked at him. "Well, first you should tell her" I said. Joshua looked at me. "Your right" he said looking stressed. "Come with me" he said. I followed him up the stairs to the kitchen, were the lady was. Honey tell her I will call her back, and then come in the living room" Joshua said. Joshua sat down on the couch and five minutes later motion for me to have a seat across from him five minutes later the lady appeared. "Ok, what did you want to talk about" she said seating next to him. "Well first, Jasmine this is Madeline , madeline this is Jasmine". Joshua said still looking at me. "HI, how do you know Joshua" she asked. I couldn't do anything but look. "Hey, I'm home" somebody said coming in the house. "Damn" the boy said coming in the house. "I Know you better watch your mouth" Jasmine shocked by what the boy just said. "I'm sorry mom but when I see a pretty girl I can't help myself" the boy said looking at me. "Uh Madeline, this is Justin my son" Joshua said had seeing a Enough. "Hey beautiful, so when can we be more then friends" Justin said Sitting next to me. "We are-" I was all I got to say before Joshua touched my leg. "Justin this is your sister" Joshua said. Jasmine looked confused. "His what" Jasmine said standing up. "Look a long time ago Before I met you I was in love, in love with a women who just shut me out, but I realize why, she was pregnant and didn't want to stress me with that" Joshua said standing up. "Get out" Jasmine said to me. "You can't put her out" Joshua said yelling at Jasmine. "Why not, so you can take her back to her crazy ass mother and you guys can be a happy family again" Jasmine yelled. "I have never heard nobody talk so bad about my mother, and secondly my mother died that's the only reason why I'm here. My mother wouldn't tell me a thing about him. But my mother had cancer and she died, and no I don't want a pity party I just at least want a chance to meet my only living parent" I said grabbing my coat. "I'm so sorry Madeline" Jasmine said with her hands on her mouth. "It's to late" I said storming out of the house.
