Chapter 19

Ciara's P.O.V

--------------------

My moms funeral was early Sunday morning. I surprised to see a lot of unfamiliar faces in the crowd waiting outside. I guess they were

her friends or something. When the funeral director opened the door everyone rushed in and filled up most of the seats.

I sat in the front, and the director started speaking. I was lost in my thoughts

It was crazy that she was really gone. I'll never see her again a tear rolled done my cheek and I quickly wiped it.

Trae grabbed my hands and kissed my cheek.

I was happy he was here to support me

I saw a lot of my family here, cousins, aunts and uncles.

But in the 3rd row first seat I saw a unfamiliar guy, he was buffed and tall.

I couldn't really see his face because he had on shades, but I knew the tattoo on his neck was familiar.

"Miss Porter, would you like to say a few words?" The director asked me, breaking me out of my thoughts

I stood up and made my way up on the stage

I took a deep breath and looked at the crowd in front of me.

Although they were family I still was shy

"My mom,Cynthia was absolutely amazing."I began " I will never, ever forget one thing she taught me, she made me who I am"

I felt tears coming, " she was more than a mother to me,she was my sister, my best friend, my role model. My everything. I will always

love her. Although she's not here with us, she'll always be right here in out hearts." I felt my self crying uncontrollable "my mom will

forever be my hero" I said as I walked off the stage

My family slowly clapped, some cried, some gave me hugs and kisses and told me to stay strong.

Right when I sat down, the guy with the tattoo stood up and walked on stage. My family slowly calmed down and listened

"Cynthia, was my first everything" he began" she was my first love, my first kiss, my first wife, my first everything.

I could never say, I don't still love and care about Cynthia. She will always have a special part in my heart.

That no one can take, she gave me my first kids," he said looking at me

I gasped, the man on stage was my father.

"She gave me something no one ever gave me. She gave me a chance to experience real love. May the angels be with you" he walked

from the stand. I watched him sit down and look at the director who began to speak.

I couldn't believe that my father, the man I haven't seen in 11 years was sitting in the very same room as me.

And didn't even say hello, or ask how I was doing.

He just sat there and acted like he didn't know me, like I was nothing.

'Mom was wrong, he don't want to see me' I thought

"You aight?" Trae asked

I nodded my head yes, which was a total lie.

When everyone was going and looking at my mom body that's when Daya stood from her seat and made her way over to me.

Daya:"you want to come with me, I haven't seen her yet" she said referring to my mom

I walked with her over to the casket, my mom laid peacefully. Her makeup was well done

My eyes teared up as I saw Daya break down. This is the first time I saw her cry since we found out mom was sick.

She shook her head uncontrollably "that's not my mom, where's my mom?, that's not her" she fell on her knees and sobbed

I sat next to her and cried as well, holding her in my arms.

Leslie soon joined in and cried as well. We was all a mess.

After I calmed down I stood up and made my way over to Trae. Who was talking to......my dad.

I walked over to them and Trae wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Ciara, your so beautiful" my dad complimented

"Thank you"

"Can....can I get a hug?" he asked

I walked over to him and hugged him, he nearly squeezed the breath out of me

"Your so big" he smiled

I smiled to"I wasn't gonna stay little forever"

Daya walked up to us and automatically hugged dad.

"Dad, I missed you" she cried into his arms

"I missed you to" he gripped her tighter

I smiled, and Trae kissed my forehead.

*

"I'm not playing Ciara, call me" my dad said seriously, will leaving out the door

"I will, I will" I laughed

"Don't worry Major, I'll make sure she does" Trae said closing the front door

I sat on the couch and laid in Trae's lap

"I'm gonna miss her" I said referring to my mom

"I know, don't go into depression on me" he said rubbing my back

"I'm not"

"Then smile for me"

I smile widely and kissed his cheek then stood up

"That's my girl"he pulled down on his lap and kissed me passionately

I knew what he was trying to do

"Let's go upstairs" I pulled him up and and walked upstairs him following closely
