{~song for chapter: u only call me when it's raining out-Gnash~}
Kehlani's POV:
~the next day~
I'm in Seattle.
It's definitely different.
It was big city but nothing's like NYC
Also it rains a lot.
I wake up in our hotel.
I pull out the letter my "dad" wrote
I laugh as the address is
"1016 Etterman Rd. Seattle,Washington"
I sigh & I sit up
The stupid hotel wifi is awful.
I walk to the bathroom
I take a quick shower & I brush my teeth
I miss NYC.
it's so lit & it's party time all the time.
Seattle's very chilled out.
Nothing much after 3pm.
So it's boring sometimes
But my dad chose to live here.
He works at a library.
So I plan on seeing him there first.
I grab my glasses
I put them on
I only have 2 pairs of Contacts in my bag
Due to the fact I didn't know we were staying long
I'll be wearing mostly glasses then.
So I pick my hair up in a messy yet cute bun
I put on a simple yet cute outfit

I put lip balm since it's only 10am.
I don't need lipstick for this trip anyway.
I tie my sneakers & my mom who's dressed & ready to go
"Mija. You should braid your hair" she says
I smile
"Mama. My hair looks cute like this" I whine
She giggles
"Mija..you look cute with braids too"
I blush & I take the bun out
I do two separate braids
I put on my watch
That Ana bought me for Christmas 2 years ago.
I sigh
I miss her so much.
She smiles
"Mija lets go"
I nod & I grab my bookbag.
I plan on getting some books at the library anyway.
I'm a dork I know.
~at the library~
The bus ride here was interesting
I usually took a train or walked streets in NYC.
No one really bothered me
Okay on the train guys hit on me
But I always shut them down.
They are creeps anyway.
I get off the bus
I sigh as I see the big building
I walk in & there's only 3 people inside
Now 5 since me & my mom are here.
A mother & her child are here.
A man alone reading a book is here.
So it's very lonely on Sundays?
I go to the desk
"Hello. I'm looking for someone by the name Antonio Reyes"
I say fixing my glasses as I read the letter
The person sighs
"He's outside having lunch are you family?"
My mom nudges me & smiles
I blush & nod
"Yes"
"What kind of family are you?"
"That's none-"
"She's my daughter"
A familiar voice says
I turn around to see
A dark haired
Tall
Very well dressed
Fit
Man
Who is my dad
"Daniel"
But he goes by Antonio now.
The person raises a eyebrow
"You never told me-"
"It's none of your business that's why"
The person walks away awkwardly..
I giggle
He embraces me in a hug
I feel him crying
I look to see his eyes red & full of tears
"I missed you so much" he says caressing my cheek
"How old are you now?" He asks
"17." I say confidently
"Has it truly been 10 years since that incident"
"Yes." I say tearing up
He wipes my tears
"I'm here now. I'm sorry" he says
I hug him
"Lani your gorgeous just like your mom"
He says
"But there's something I must tell you & your mother alone.."
"Why what's the matter?"
He takes us to a restricted
Workers only room
No one is inside
Only us
He locks the door
"Okay so.." He says pacing
"After I fled 10 years ago. I met a woman here in Seattle.."
"It's fine Danny we were divorced a year before that"
"Wait what?"
"I loved him mija but we started drifting away. So I kept it a secret so it wouldn't ruin your childhood"
"It was ruined the moment dad died..or so called died" I say
My dad hovers over me
"My wife died 5 years ago"
OMG he was married after he moved to Seattle
"How come?"
"Cancer." He says tearing up
"It was so hard. I had a little girl to raise so I let her come to work with me until she could go to school"
"How old is she now?"
"Your half sister? 6 years old. Her name is Sapphire"
"She sounds cute"
"We named her that because of her gray eyes"
I smile
"I wanna meet her" I blurt out without thinking
She won't like me.
She doesn't know me.
I'm her older "half" sister.
Half siblings don't always like each other.
I freak out
My mom notices
"When did you say we would be getting our stuff in?"
"You guys can come tonight."
"Btw Marina you still look as sexy as ever" my dad adds growling as he kisses my mom's hand
I cringe
"Ew Ma! Dad!"
They laugh
I look at them with a raised eyebrow
They love each other still...
