It's been 10 years since Ekon's death. But is he really dead.
Lyryc and Chrys have fallen in love and are in a relationship but don't know how to tell their parents.
Qwynn now has 3 children n lives in one of Ekon's houses he left to her. She's als...
She locked herself in Chrys' room in our house while she blasted music from Billie Eilish.
Since Lyryc isn't biologically my daughter I don't barge in on her. I will usually do that to Krysteen and Nevaeh but it was a different story for Lyryc.
I knocked on her door but she couldn't hear me. If this was Qwynn she would of been yelling about locking doors in her house.
I wrote on a piece of paper and pushed it under the door to the other side. After about 30 seconds she opened the door and let me in.
"You wanna go for a ride?" I ask.
"Sure." she said.
I could have talked to her in the house but I knew for a fact that Qwynn would have eavesdrop on our convo.
We hopped on my bike and rode off. I brought her to a place that I haven't been to in years. It was where my biological mother got buried.

"Wooooowwww!" she said hopping off the bike.
We sat on the grass and folded our legs. After inhaling, exhaling and connecting with the silence of nature for 5 minutes she asked "So why did you bring me out here?"
"To talk about you mother," I say.
She rolled her eyes and ask "What about her?"
"You need to forgive her because-"
"Because what?!"
"Did you know how your dad treated your mother?" I say.
"Yeah! I remember he used to beat on her," she says shocking me.
"Wait you knew?!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah. When mom and dad went into the room together I used to hear mom screaming and crying. Then there were the bruises so I put two and two together."
"Then why are you angry at her?" I ask.
"She didn't have to kill him. She could of called the cops or leave him," Lyryc said.
"I don't think you understand what he did to your mother. He didn't only physically abuse her El. He raped her too. You aren't the first child in your mother had. She had a miscarriage because of him. She was in a comma because of him. She broke many bones because of him. She-"
I didn't finish because Lyryc grabbed my shoulder and said "E!"
"What?" I reply.
Her eyes moved towards my palm on the grass. I was clutching the grass angrily. Some of them were already pulled out by the roots too. Thinking about the love of my life in such pain makes my blood boil. I was still angry at a dead man.
"You good?" She ask.
"Yeah! Anyways, put yourself in your mother's shoe. I know you would have killed him too if it were you. He even threatened your life sometimes when he was high," I say.
She was dumbfounded.
"But why didn't she tell me instead of lying to me all these years?"
"She wanted to tell you but she didn't know how. How the hell do you tell your eight year old daughter you killed her daddy because he sexually, verbally, mentally and physically abused her?" I say.
She went quiet before saying "I guess I never thought of it that way."
"Exactly. When you're angry at someone always look at the conflict from their point of view before addressing it," I tell her.
That's one of the last thing my mother told me before she passed away.
She hugged me and said "Thank you Ekon, for being there for both em and my mom!"
I hugged her back and said "You're welcome." I don't know if I was hallucinating or some shit but I felt something move against her belly because it rubbed against mines. It probably was gas or some shit but I aint said nothing.
After laying in the grass and figuring out what the shapes are forming for a hour we bought food and went home.
When we reached home everyone said their apologies and we ate dinner in peace.
Sorry I haven't been updating alot lately but school's been kicking my ass. This is a little update for yall. I gotta go now. Bye n thx you!!!
