                                                       i was awakened by the smell of bacon. 

so i did a quick stretch, got up and quickly brushed my teeth and washed my faced and headed 

                                                                               downstairs. 

"good morning nani." tahiti said greeting me as i walked into the kitchen.

"Morning titi, how you sleep.? "i asked as i sat down and poured me a glass of o.j.

" god awful, it's so uncomfortable. I feel bad for mike. all the tossing and turning i do. " she said as she rubbed her belly.

"wow i didn't know it was that deep." i told her as i started to fix my plate.

"yeah it's a lot of work but all worth it cause this blessing that i am going receive by becoming a mom." she said smiling.

" i am happy for you sissy. i can't wait to be auntie to that little nugget." i said taking a bit of bacon. "speaking of mike where is he by the way." 

" he's in the office grading papers, so he won't have to do it the whole freaking weekend." she said taking a drink of her orange juice.

we ate in a comfortable silence for a little while and then i broke it. 

"um titi is there anymore you can tell me about dad's cheating and tyler." i asked.

she paused for a second and took a swig of her drink. 

"All i remember is when i was younger, there was a period of time when they were arguing 

constantly, like everyday about every little thing. there were nights where i could hear mom 

 herself to sleep or at least trying while dad would be engrossed in his work life a little. 

i guess a year later they finally decided to go counseling because the fighting died down and 

seemed back to their old selves  to the point where i was getting more attention again. " she 

began to  tell me. 

"i was all good in our little family, a few years later you were born and then the car accident 

happened." she continued. 

"Believe me when i say that when tyler came to me and told me his story and that we were 

related and things like that. at first i didn't believe it but then as i talked to him more. things 

made a lot of sense. There is no point in giving him a hard time. nobody is here to defend 

themselves and i'm too young and too pregnant to be stressing about anything so i'd rather

live positively while still keeping tyler at a safe distance. " She said.

"i understand what you are saying and you are right i should be more positive but at the same

time when you told me that dad had a child outside his marriage it hurt my heart. like my heart 

literally broke in two. i was finally making friends at school and feel like you weren't going to be 

the only person who has saw the real me. my personality , my love for the arts. But once 

you told me that i went back to my introverted self and avoided people or the friends i 

made. i even met a boy. a incredibly good looking boy who is sweet, athletic, and smart. Now i

am about to mess it up cause this news just shattered my world." i said feeling a wetness rolling 

down my face that's when i noticed that i was crying and tahiti started making her way my side

of table.

"you are entitled to feel the way you do but it not good to keep all these feeling cooped up 

cause they are clearly taking a toll on you. it's going to be alright. i am and always will

be here for you when you need me. i am your one and only sister and it's us against the 

world. don't what time of the day it is i am here and i'm just a call away. " she said kissing

me on the forehead as i cried.

i felt so much being lifted off my shouldered and all i needed to do is cry.  it felt so good to 

just let it all out. 

i finally stop full on crying and just reduced to sobbing and wiped my tears away knowing damn 

well my face is all puffy and red now. once i stopped i helped tahiti clean up breakfast and i 

headed back up to my room to take a well need shower and washed my face once again.

i ended up sending chase a text telling him that once i  get back we need to talk and that

i missed him and the gang lol (noah and kendra.)
