As usual I was on the couch with my little sister Ella watching whatever she put on. This was every weekend for me. It was nice out so I figured To Take Her to the park.
"Ella go get dressed" I told her putting on my shoes.
"Where we going?" She asked.
"park and ice cream" I told her. She ran upstairs and came back down dressed in black shorts a blue shirt and her space jam 11's.
"Mommy Gonna Have a fit You wearing those to the park" I told her. She rolled her eyes going back upstairs. She's 10 and has an attitude like mine. And I'm 19. She came back down with her sparkly blue vans. I took a picture and posted it to Instagram before leaving.

QueenC- Out 👅💅🏽 I Locked my phone and got in my car.
"Can we get ice cream first" ella asked.
"Okay" I said turning up the radio.
Ivy🖐
"Naomi someone's here to see you" my mom Called from downstairs. She never calls me Ivy unless I'm in trouble. She calls me my middle name. Naomi. My great grandfather gave her the idea Right before he passed. I went downstairs and saw my father sitting in the living room. My mind raced and so many questions came into my head.
"Hi Princess" he Said. I couldn't speak. It was like the air in the room had been taken away.
"Why?" was all I could get out. Was that the anger speaking or the sadness? Was I Questioning his presence or was it his disappearance all these years?
"I know you're upset with me but Hear Me Out" he said. I stared into those hazel eyes. The ones given to me. I sat across from him waiting for an explanation, waiting for an excuse. I remember the day He Left.
Flashback
"I can't do this no more Ryan." My mother yelled. I sat in the middle of the living room playing with my dolls in aware that my mom and dad were getting divorced.
"I said sorry" his voice boomed.
"How Could You Ryan." my mom said shaking her head as tears fell.
"Please Lorine . It won't happen again. You can't take Jeannie from me" he said grabbing her roughly.
"Get off Me" she yelled Fighting to get out his grip. He threw her to the floor and walked out.
"Mommy!!" I yelled rushing to her side.
"I'm okay baby. We're gonna be okay" she told me touching my face Getting up.
"Is daddy coming back again?" I asked
"I Don't Know Naomi. I really don't know" she said as we pulled away from the house and into the night.
End of flashback
"Did You Hear Me?" My father asked.
"Uh yeah no. Run that by me again" I said coming back to reality.
"Your father wants to apologize. He wants us to be a family again" my mom said smiling. I Didn't see anything happy about that.
"Great" I said with fake enthusiasm. "I'm going back to my room" I said getting up leaving. I needed someone to talk to so I called KayKay over. She came a half hour later.
"Who's that guy in the kitchen with your mother?" She asked closing my door.
"My father" I mumbled.
"What!?!" She said Confused.
"Yeah I know. He's talking about wanting to be a family again and shit Like That"I told her sitting up
"How's he Gonna fuck Up Then leave and try to come back like nothing ever happened" she said to me.
"How do you feel about it?" She Asked
"A mix of emotions" I sighed.
"Well maybe he's Changed." She Said handing me a McDonald's bag and sitting on my bed with hers.
"Yeah. I guess you're right" I said taking out my chicken nuggets.
