Behind That Smile

Chapter 24

Jeremiah

I stared as the tears just came out her eyes. My poor baby girl.

"Come on you can talk to me." I said smiling.

"I don't want this." She said. "I don't want a new mother figure. I don't want her kids calling you dad. Why did you have to find someone else." She just kept sobbing.

"I'm sorry baby girl but its life sometimes things like this happen for a reason." I said. She shook her head.

"No, she's going to take my mom's spot. Your gonna want me to call her mom. And claim her kids as my siblings. I may sound like a brat but I don't Care. I've waited so many years for both of you to come back but when you do I get a mother who disowns me and go with her new family and I get a father who now have a girlfriend with 3 kids. So I'll have to deal with a new bitch with you and a new nigga with mom if she ever decides to come back." She said with full blown tears. I just sat there letting her talk.

"I dont like this not one bit. Why can't I just live a normal life. No gang shit, no separate parents, no killing, no brutal deaths, no fake ass smiling." She cried and then paused. "I actually forgot how to smile foreal I dont even remember the last time I actually smiled foreal ain't that just some tragic shit." She said while laughing. "Imma go take a walk." She mumbled and stood up. I sighed and walked out her room.

"So how was it?" Josiah asked. I scratched the back of my head and chuckled.

"Not good." I said.

"I'm sure she's gonna be fine." Andrena said.

"I doubt it." I said as Ang walked down stairs. She looked at me and Andrena and rolled her eyes.

"Did she just roll her eyes?" Andrena asked. Ang snapped her head towards us. Oh lord.

Angelise

I Know this bitch didnt just. Okaaayyyyy chill. I'm chill. Now breath and go.

"Yes I did roll my eyes is that a problem." I said. Then her daughter looked at me.

"Dont talk to my mom like that." She said.

"Girl shut the fuck up I can talk to her however I want she aint my momma." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Ang stop it." My dad said.

"No you stop it." I said and smirked.

"That attitude gone get you beat." Andrena said.

"Bitch by who surely not you." I said.

"Little girl I will hurt you." She said with a attitude.

"Bitch the day you touch me will be the day you stop breathing on this earth. Like I said before you not my momma." I said.

"Wait hold up Andrena you ain't touching my daughter yea you my girl but you dont have that right." My dad said. I rolled my eyes at him and smirked at her. "But Ang you need to stop calling her a bitch." He said looking at me. I smirked.

"Ang dont do it." Mateo said.

"Bitch." I said smirking. My dad got up fast asf. Then slapped the shit out of me. I stood there shocked I never thought he would hit me. Then the tears start streaming down my face.

"Dad what the hell why would you hit her!" Chris yelled.

"He hit me." I whispered as Mateo and Nae came to me.

"Damn he hit you hard, you got blood coming out your mouth." Nae said and ran to the kitchen and came back with a wet towel.

"I can't believe he hit you." Teo said. I nodded agreeing. Then I looked up to see my dad and Chris about to fight.

"Chris chiiilll! You good bro calm down leave him and his bitch be." Joseph said.

"Man its not even worth it I'm out." Chris said walking towards me and picking me up and walking out. "You good lil mama." He asked. I nodded.

"He basically put a female before us. He lied to me. He said he would never do that. You can't trust nobody." I said and he nodded in agreement.

Andrena

Hi everyone I'm Andrena Malan I'm 37 with 3 kids. I didn't expect none of this. The way Jeremiah described his daughter she seemed sweet. I guess she doesn't want anyone to take her mothers place. I mean no child would want that.

"Uumm baby you didnt have to hit her. You basically put me before her. Thats something you shouldn't have done. I'm an adult and I know how to deal with a child like that without getting physical or saying hurtful words. So what you need to do is go and apologize before its to late." I said.

"But babe." He said.

"No buts you dont know what she is going through. She's the only girl who has to deal with a new mom that's something no child would want to go through ok. Then I would talk to her tomorrow as in taking her out just me and her." I said and pushed him out the house.

"Welp that went well." Isaiah said.

"Shut up you idiot." Eriana said. And slapped him in the back of his head.

"Lil mama was cute though I might have to hit." Kingston said.

"She has a boyfriend dummy." I said.

"Who?" He asked.

"Its Mateo dummy." I said.

"I'm cuter though so shawty gone be mine." Kingston said smirking. Jesus why is he my son.

"Thats basically your sister so she can't be yours." Eriana said.

"Shut up they ain't married so hop off my boy." Isaiah said.

"Well about that." I said.

"Mom you gotta be kidding me." The twins said.

"We were supposed to tell everyone together that we are engaged but not until later I guess." I said.

"Yea and Ang is going to be even worse." Eriana said. Then Jeremiah walked in rubbing his face.

"What happened?" I asked.

"She's pissed, she half accepted my apology, slapped the shit out of me, and cussed me out while going to her room." He said sighing.

"She'll come around." I said.

"Its gonna take forever, and I'm telling everyone about the engagement tomorrow. She's gonna be even more pissed but I rather tell her now than later." He said. I nodded this is going to be hell.
