Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 12 - Forgiveness?

Spending all day at her studio, Mya was ready for her parent meeting to happen already. She felt extremely tired and was ready to go home and sleep the rest of the weekend. She'd just finished rehearsal with her senior group and was ready to leave, but she was holding her parent meeting for all of her dancers.

It was almost seven o'clock that evening and most of the parents were already at the studio. She didn't want to let the meeting last any longer than a hour because she wasn't feeling well.

Mya had Veronica do most of the talking during the meeting. When the meeting was over, Mya asked Veronica to close the studio. As she was headed out, Mya ran into Angel who was with Heaven and her new baby, Zachariah. Mya had never seen Angel's baby before.

"Hi, Ms. Mya." Heaven hugged Mya.

"Hey, sweetheart." Mya loved when Heaven hugged her.

"Have you seen my brother Zach?" She asked Mya, pointing to the carseat which was covered, Angel was holding on to.

Mya glanced at the carseat. "Oh, you're a big sister now." Mya smiled, poking Heaven's tummy.

Heaven giggled. "Sometimes he cries and I'll give him his bottle and then he'll stop." She explained.

"That shows that you're a great big sister."

Angel stood aside, watching Mya and Heaven talk. She loved the way her daughter interacted with Mya and thought it was really cute. "Did you want to see him?" Angel offerend to uncover the carseat.

"Sure." Mya accepted.

Revealing her sleeping baby boy, Angel smiled.

"Awe, he is too precious." Mya said. "He's a cutie."

"He's such a great baby." Angel smiled.

They began to walk outside the studio. While they were walking outside, LaTrice had just walked out the studio.

"Mya!" LaTrice called after Mya as she caught up with her.

"Oh, hi, Mrs. Robinson." Mya smiled.

"I needed to ask you something." LaTrice said. "Do you have a moment?"

Mya hoped that whatever laTrice had to ask her, that she could ask Veronica, because she was ready to go. "Sure."

Before she spoke, LaTrice glanced at the woman who wasn't standing too far from Mya and narrowed her eyes. "Stupid bitch."

Mya's eyes grew wide at LaTrice's outburst. "Excuse me."

"Come one Heaven, let's go." Angel said.

"But mommy, I want to stay with Ms. Mya." Heaven whined.

Mya was confused at what was going on.

"You got a lot of nerve showing your face in front of me again. i should have whipped your ass the first time." LaTrice was getting fired up.

"Heaven!" Angel yelled. "Let's go!"

Hevaven had already grabbed hold to Mya's hand.

"Yeah, you better go!" LaTrice fussed.

Mya looked down at Heaven. "Heaven, sweety, you have to go home with you mommy. You can see Ms. Mya later." Mya gave Heaven a warm smile.

Angel grabbed Heaven with her free hand, snatching her away from Mya as Heaven began to cry.

Mya was now looking at LaTrice who appeared to be upset about something. "What's going on?"

LaTrice didn't answer her because she was so busy scowling at Angel who had already walked away.
