The Daughters: Adopted by Renée Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs

When your home

A few hours later
I sit with Shayla and our friend Chloe in Shayla's bedroom. I didn't have to go to the interview until tomorrow and that was good because I wanted to spend time with my YAH squad. "So, how is trying to get a Korean boy going Chloe?" I ask. "Ugh. It's okay." She says. "You know, I could probably hook you up." I say. "It's fine. She says." "Did I tell you my mom knows Oprah?" "NO." The girls exclaim. I nod. "Nicole, you better be careful next time you do something. You could end up getting in trouble with Oprah or Obama." Shayla says. "That's true." I say. "How is Alexandrea doing?" Shayla asks. I pull out my phone and show the girls pictures and videos from VidCon. The scream. "Oh, and I didn't show you guys the best one!" I exclaim. Naturally, all three of us were Shane Dawson fans. So, I show them the video of Shane saying hi to me. "Queen!" They exclaim. "Not as queen as Dr. Phil." I say. They laugh. "Chloe, have you heard Hamilton yet?" I ask her. "Only a little." She says. "Okay, grab that box of tissues and we will listen to Hamilton and In The Heights." I say. And that's what we do. Then Chloe leaves. When it's dark out, Shayla and I go outside and lay under the stars. "I used to think we lived on the top of the world, when the world was just a Subway map." I start. "And the 1-9 took the dotted line, to my place." "There is no nine train now." "Right." "I used to think that Bronx was a place in the sky, when the world was just a Subway map. And my thoughts took shape." "On the fire escape." "Can you remind me of what it was like, on the top of the world?" "Come with me." Shayla sings and we get up and start to walk. Then she cut to a different part of the song. "Nicole, everything is easier when your home. The streets a little kinder when your home. Can't you see that the day seems clearer now that you are here." Then she cuts again. "Can I say, that I couldn't get my mind off you all day. Now listen to me. Maybe it's how you perceive it, but Nicole just believe it that when you find your way again, You're going to change the world and then we are all going to brag and say we knew her when... This was your home!" "I'm Home!" "Welcome home!" "I'm home!" We walk to a local ice cream place and shayla buys us ice cream. Then we walk to an open field to eat them and I see a bunch of kids from when I used to live here that still do. "Nicole?" Kiley asks. Everyone turns around and I run and hug them. They all say hi to me and I hug them and we reminisce about all our good times together. "Nicole, your back, why?" Kiley asks. "I am being interviewed tomorrow." I say. "Why? How?" Lakin asks me. "So, last March I got adopted by this Broadway actress who had been fostering me since January and I got asked to come to this interview." I say. We talk some more but then it starts getting late. "Okay, I better get going before I get angry calls from Oprah and Obama." I say. Everyone looks at me like I just said something weird. "My mom is an actress. She knows them." I say. They nod and we make it back fast enough that My mom probably didn't know we were gone. Then we change and go to sleep.
