One Month Later

Its been a month ever since I've learned about Aaron not being my father. I haven't visited him at all because he told me that he doesn't want me to visit him like this. Of course I wasn't ok with it but I still listened to him. We've been talking through letters and on the phone. Even though he's only been in jail for a month we've already sent about twenty letters to each other. I'm trying to stay in touch as much as I can.

I told him about meeting my mother. Yes, I mentioned the little blow out between us. I also told him about meeting my father too. He was happy that I finally got to meet him. I'm glad that he accepts it too.

I just can't wait until he comes back home and we can make up on the lost time. He has five years in jail. Meaning, that he's going to miss my graduation in the next two years. I'm going to be sad but at least I'll know that he'll be there in my heart. It would be nice to share that moment with him and my father both. That'll be one of the greatest moments I'll ever have.

Just being able to share a special moment like that with the two most special people in my life would be a dream come true. But too bad Aaron won't be there. I just hope that maybe for good behavior he'll be able to get out his third year.

To keep myself distracted from worrying about him Blake and his family came to Texas to visit me a few weeks after I met my biological father. I was so happy to see the twins. They were so excited to see me too. I swear, they're the best little kids I've ever met. While they were out here Blake and I went out a lot.

We went on little friendly dates. It was nothing like that so don't get full of yourself. I didn't let Blake meet Julian because we just became on good terms again and I wasn't about to let him get upset that I'm hanging out with Blake. Yamile was still out of town so she'll meet him someday.

After they left to go back to California I went back to my regular routine. I stayed in my room most of the day and only came out if I was hungry or thirsty. I can't wait until school starts again so I can finally get away from my grandparents. Its my only excuse to get out of the house.

Today, is Sunday and I'm on my way to church. My mother will be there today. Sadly. We still haven't had a good relationship since our little blow out. I wish we could have a relationship but at this moment I don't really care. She can be stubborn all she want. I don't have time to entertain her.

Praise God that were going to church today because if we weren't then it'll be a whole different story.

The ride to church is quiet. I'm in the backseat looking out the window. Jacob is in the front seat looking at something on his phone.

When we arrived to church I climbed out of the car and straightened out my dress. I hate wearing dresses to church. Its too dressy for me. I'm not the type of person to be dressed up all the time. Only for special occasions.

We entered the church and the first person I spotted was my mother. If we weren't in church right now I would roll my eyes but instead I just looked the other way. I let Grandma Evelyn and Jacob go before me because I wasn't going to sit next to her. That's a big no.

"Hey mom." Hayden smiles.

"Hey sweetie. How are you?" Grandma Evelyn smiles giving her daughter a hug.

"I'm great. What about you?"

"Fine."

I listened on as she talked to Jacob for a minute. She treats him like he's a little baby still. I see exactly what my father was talking about now. She does seem to care more for him than me.
