I open one of them and read it
'Jocelyn if you get this I love you, I never walked out on you, ur mom, or your brother and sister your mom kicked me out I want to see you and catch up, I have a wife natasha and you have two younger sisters ebony and Erica' I put it back knowing I couldn't read no more, I grab another one and started reading
'Jocelyn you never wrote back, I guess your mom already got you brain washed' as I was reading mom walked in
"hey sweetie you found the jac-, what are you doing with those"she asks looking at the letter in my hand "I can't believe you never showed me these I have two other sisters and a step ma" I say my eyes watering "I know you may be upset, but we can work this out" she says trying to grab the letter out my hand but I pull them away
"mama you have lied before but nothing this big, this whole time I thought he left us, but you left him, you knew I always wanted to meet him" I say trying to walk out
honey, he said I brain washed you" she said stopping me from leaving out
"because you did" I say walking past her the door bell rang and I go down to answer it and it Dylan
"oh hey" I say whipping my eyes so he wouldn't notice "what's wrong, everything okay" he asks whipping my eyes "umm can I take a rain check its family stuff" I say kissing him on the lips "sure, take all the time you need" he said walking down the steps but then turns around " you look great by the way" he says smiling. "thanks you look good too, good night"
I say shouting my door and running up to my room with the letters still in my hand
