Mya
Brandon Arreaga
A name I don't take pleasure in hearing.
When I think of Brandon Arreaga I feel hurt, abandoned and manipulated.
In the world's eyes he's this perfect popstar that can't do anything wrong. He has created another life for himself and left the ones that got him there.
So when I see, hear or think about Brandon Arreaga I feel anger and hate.
I got pregnant by Brandon when I was 16 and he was 17. We were young and dumb but I really a big part of me hoping that everything would be ok.
When Penelope was 1 he ran away and all I had to remember him was a stupid letter and what I thought was the most important thing to him, Penelope.
So I had no choice but to step up and become everything my daughter and I needed. 17 and 18 I worked and worked to pay the bills and keep food in my babies mouth.
At the age of 19 he made it big in Hollywood. He was on every billboard and tv screen, you name it.
I remember hoping he would come back and help us but he never did. To this day I work like a dog trying to make a better life for my daughter and he's living the life in the spotlight.
I try with everything in me to be strong but 2 inches from finding him and killing him. I just hate him so much.
"Mommy" I heard Penelope calling me snapping me out of my thoughts
"Yes baby" I smiled
"I'm ready for school" She smiled
"Ok, I'm coming" I said putting my shoes on my feet and we rushed out the door
After I dropped her off at school I rushed to the cafe seeing it was already filled with customers
"Mya im so glad your here" Sam said as I took his place behind the cash register
After I took everyone's order I sat down and took a deep breath trying to keep my sanity.
"You good" I heard a female voice ask
When I looked up I saw a girl with shoulder length blonde hair with brown eyes and the cutest dimples.
"Yeah I'm ok" I smiled and went behind the cash register
"What can I get you" I asked
"Can I get a coffee and frappe" She asked pulling out money
"In the need for a lot of caffeine huh" I asked taking her money
"No the coffee is for my boyfriend" She said taking the drinks out of my hand
"Well you guys enjoy and please come again" I politely said as she took a seat at a table
I continued working for 30 minutes more until it was time for my break. I sat down at one of the tables and ate my sandwich.
I could see the blonde girl was still sitting by herself. When I was about to get up I saw someone sit with her.
It must be her boyfriend. I couldn't really see him but his hair was black and I can see he had glasses. He had a neck tattoo and he was pretty stylish.
After I finished my lunch I got up and went back to working. When it was time for me to go I left and went to pick Penelopeup from school.
"Mommy" He yelled and ran to me giving a tight hug
"How was school ladybug" I asked as we pulled apart
"It was good, but I noticed something different today" She spoke as we walked to the car
"Oh yeah and what's that" I asked as I pull her in her seat
"Rachel and Matthew have daddies and I don't have one" She frowned
I knew this day would come but not this soon.
How do I tell her what happened?
Do I even tell her what happened?
"Your dad took a very long vacation away baby" I answered and got in the car
"When will he come back" She questioned
"I don't know baby, I don't know" I sighed
I can't tell her exactly what happened. After all she's only five and I don't want her to feel disowned at all. I don't want her to hate him even though he's a piece of shit. She matters the most to me and that's all that matters.
When we got home we both got out and went inside. I got her clean and put into bed then showered.
When I got into bed thoughts flooded my mind. I couldn't help but wonder if he has the same number. And if it is the same will I swallow my pride and call.
You know what
Fuck it
I'm calling him
I took my phone off my dresser and dialed the number.
*ring*

"Hello"
"Hello"
"Hey Brandon"
