Bella's POV
I had so many thoughts, so many emotions. There was only one person that could help me get a better understanding about things.
"Thanks for meeting with me." I replied
"No problem." "I'm assuming this is about the interview?" Questioned Andre.
"We never spoke much about my mother's death, And I just need answers." I stated.
"I know this is a very touchy subject, and I never meant to hurt you Bella." Replied Andre
"Then why did you kill my mother?" "Why did I have to live with the humilation of it all growing up?" I questioned holding back tears.
"It was never about you Bella." Responded Andre.
"Do you know how embarrassing it were, for kids at school to gossip about your uncle killing your mother." "The stories, the gossip, the pain." "And I had to relive that when Prince drop that stupid diss record." I cried.
"Again Bella I never meant to hurt you." "I didn't look at Anika Calhoun as a woman with an innocent baby, I looked at her as a woman that murdered my wife and unborn child." "And I'm sorry that you got hurt by all of this." "Bella I'm really am sorry." Replied Andre.
"It's going to take time but I needed some closure." I replied.
Prince's POV
"Your breathing is wrong, take deep breaths." Suggested Dad.
"Dad why do I have to take these stupid breathing exercises." I complained.
"So you won't be windy and out of breath when you're rapping." "Son you have to perfect your craft in order to be the best." "Now try it again." Replied Dad.
I took deep breaths like Dad suggested. Inhaling and exhaling.
"Much better." Replied Dad.
"Listen Son, I want to apologize if I hurt you." "I know a lot was said during that interview." "I know I'm not perfect and I'm still learning." "And I'm working on making things better for all of us." Replied Dad.
"It's cool I just wish we could be like a normal family." I replied.
"Well the Lyons are a special breed, normal is not in our blood." "But us Lyons will always stick together no matter what, and we can overcome any situation." Replied Dad
Tiana's POV
Hakeem was late for our therapy session. I waited for ten minutes until he finally shows up.
"You're late." I replied.
"Yes I know and I'm sorry but I'm here now." Hakeem stated.
"Welcome back Ms Brown and Mr. Lyon." Replied Dr. Clayton. "So let's get started " "I wanted to ask, what are the living arrangements?"
"I moved out the house that Hakeem and I were sharing with our kids." I replied
"Is this the first time you've moved out?" Question Dr. Clayton.
"Yeah usually Hakeem leaves but I decided to leave this time."
"With Ms Brown leaving this time, how did you feel about that Mr. Lyon?" Dr. Clayton questioned.
"Um I was surprise because we've splitting up before but she never leaves." Stated Hakeem
"Does it cross your mind that Ms Brown is actually serious this time, and this separation could become permanent?"
Hakeem was quiet. "Mr Lyon?"
"Sorry." Replied Hakeem.
Hakeem turned to me grabbing me by the hand.
"Listen babe I know we've been through a lot, I've been childish, and haven't shown you the respect that you deserve." "I love you, and I wanna be all the man that I can be for you." "I said very hurtful things to you that I wish I can take back." "And I'm not ready to give up on this." "Babe I still believe in us."
