Part II

(3 Months Later)

E'mani POV

| Los Angeles, CA |

It has been 3 consecutive months since me and O'shea last seen or even spoke to each other after that catastrophe. But in all honesty, I think its better this way. I still have a lot of growing up to do and a lot of self-searching before I can really be the best that I can be. Which is why I made the decision to sell my home and move back with my dad for the time being.

As for my modeling career. I still model but I told Tyra that I needed to take a mental break to get myself back in order. Become more Intune with myself and doing some self-healing. I thought she would be upset and void my whole contract. But instead, she told me take as much time as I needed. I still have a few shoots here and there but I also get to spend more time with my family.

It was a usual sunny day in Los Angeles and the warm sun beamed down on my shoulders in my strapless tank top and boyfriend Love Pink Joggers that rested on my hips. I've been staying with Henree and my nephew until I decided I wanted to break the news to my dad about me moving back. I hope he would be more accepting when he see's me. You never know with him.

"You got everything sis?", Henree asked as she placed my Louis Vuitton Monogram purse in the front of my Audi. She dusted her hands off as she placed them on her hips and squinting her eyes from the sun.

"I believe so." I replied as I closed the trunk of my car and leaning on It. "Thanks for letting me stay with you. I could of went back home but I aint wanna hear daddy mouth."

"Girl don't I know it. it's like a hit or miss with him. That's why I try to catch him when he smoking." Henree giggled.

I shook my head. "Give me a hug so I can make my way to that side.", I said as I reached into hug my big sister tightly. We swayed side to side as we shared our sisterly love. I swear I don't know what I would do with out them. Sometimes I wish that all of us could come together and really share sisterly love but I know that would never happen. Erin seems to becoming around and we've hashed somethings out but as far as Daijah, out of sight out of mind.

"I'm call you later to let you know what daddy says or do." I said as pulled away from big sis and circled to the driver side of the car and hopping in.

"Yeah do that. I hope he high for your sake but then again you baby girl. He aint gonna trip too hard." Henree replied as I turned my car on and placed the gear in drive.

"Yeah. We'll see.", I replied before slowly pulling off and heading towards the interstate. I heard a "Bleep" as my phone connected to my Bluetooth speaker in my car and immediately began playing Chris Brown and Tyga's Better.

It was a calm drive to my father's house. I enjoyed the scenery of the palm trees, some kids playing kick ball in the street, the fresh manicured lawns. I waved at some people that watched me grown up over time as I finally reached my father's drive way. I noticed an unfamiliar parked car in the driveway next to my dads' impala, causing me to raise a brow.

I killed the engine and hopped out the car after grabbing my purse and hitting the alarm on my key fob as I walked up to the porch. I swiped my long hair out of my face before using my key to open the door. I felt a gush of central air hit my face as I also smelled the aroma of breakfast linger through the air and the sound of Luther Vandross "Never too Much" blaring through the house
