Chapter 33
|Alyana Owens|
I know y'all haven't heard from me in a while. I've been in prison for ten years, but today was the day I got out. My lawyer found me a place to stay and a job working in the mail room at one of her partnering firms in South Carolina. All my things were moved into my new place.
I have to live with my stupid decisions for the rest of my life. I don't know what I would've done if my son would've died that day. I wasn't thinking. I owe Keith so much. I originally had twenty years, but so how he got it down to ten.
I spent the day getting myself together. I don't know how my son going to react seeing me.
●●●●●●●
When I pulled up to Keith house the place was huge. It had to have about 6 acres of land around it. Cars were everywhere. Kids were running around. I quickly parked and got out.
It took me twenty minutes to find Keith. When I did. I tapped him on his shoulder. He turned and glancing down at me.
"H-Hey Keith." I said shyly. Every time I'm around him I get butterflies.
"Alyana?" I nodded slowly.
"When did you get out?" He asked. I had to take a minute to look at him. He was wearing swimming trucks. And let's just say he didn't look to be almost 40. He's body was glistening in the sun, he grew his hair out, he had new tattoos. I had to bit my lip from moaning. I haven't had any in ten years.
"Alyana you done checking me out?" God his voice was deeper then I remembered.
"Sorry." I squeaked. He chuckled.
"Hey babe! Sorry it took so long to come back. I forgot Mikhail present at mama house." Some unknown pregnant female walked up kissing him. My heart broke.
"Oh I'm sorry. I'm Amber who are you?" She said giving her hand out. I noticed a ring on her finger. I put on a fake smile shaking her hand.
"I'm Alyana." Her smile dropped a little. She glanced over at Keith. It's like they had a mental communication thing going on. But she smiled again.
"Oh...well baby I'm going over to sit with your mom. Your daughter is kicking like crazy." She said kissing his cheek then walking away.
"Where's Mikhail?" I asked looking around trying not to let him see how hurt I was.
"Um, upstairs. Follow me." He said. I couldn't help, but watch his muscles flex as he walked. He took me upstairs I'm guessing to Mikhail room.
"So Amber huh?" I said.
"Yeah Amber." He said. I could see the love in his eyes he had for her. I wish it was directed to me, but I guess I fucked that up for good a long time ago. We came up to a door with a poster on it.
"Mikhail."
"Yes sir." Damn he saying yes sir. I see he still have manners.
"Somebody here to see you." Keith said opening the door.
"Who?" I stepped around Keith. My son just looked at me confused.
"Who is this pops?" Damn he forgot all about me? I was heartbroken.
"Your mom." Keith said. He looked me up and down.
"Oh..."
"I'll leave you two to talk." Keith said.
|Mikhail "Khail" Daniels|
At first I didn't know who this lady was until my dad told me. She looked different. I haven't seen her since I was six when she shot me. I looked at her not knowing what to say.
"Hey Mikhail." She said. I just looked at her.
"I know I'm the last person you want to see right now. I'm here to apologize and get my son back." She said. I looked at her like she was crazy. Get me back?
"Your not my mother." I said harshly.
"Mikhail baby I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you or take your daddy away from you. I never wanted any of it to happen-"
"NO! When I was three years old I remembered asking you "mommy why don't I have a daddy?" And you told me every time "your daddy abused and beat me. He never wanted you. And he's dead." That's what you said to me! You lied all those years then when he found out about me you were still lying to me and him! I HATE YOU! I came home crying every day because the kids at school picked on me for not having a dad. Yet you never said anything to me. I thought you loved me but you didn't-"
"I do love you!" She said crying.
"No you don't because if you did you wouldn't have kept us apart." I yelled. I'm mad, hurt, and angry.
"Mikhail I can't stress how sorry I am for my actions. I did it to protect you!" She said.
"Protect me how? From dad being a thug? Does he look like he still thuggin' to you? Did he look like that when we went to his office ten years ago? No! If you wouldn't have left him maybe you would've known that he was planning on taken you out the weekend before you left him to tell you he was out the game and he was going to propose, but you left. It's nobody fault, but yours." I sneered. Her mouth dropped and she did there looking shocked.
"Wh-What?" She stuttered.
"He's telling the truth." Pops said from behind her. She turned around to look at him.
"You were going to propose to me?" She asked in shocked. I rolled my eyes at her. Keyword, were.
"I was, but you left me. Everything happens for a reason. It probably wasn't meant for us to be." Pops said with a shrug. I know he still love her even if he engaged to Amber.
"I-I don't know what to say."
"There's nothing to say. It's the past. I moved on and found someone else." He said. I could see the hurt in my "mother" eyes.
"Can we go back to my party now?" I asked because it was getting awkward. My dad nodded. We walked out the room heading back outside.
"You okay baby?" Amber said hugging me, barely. Due to her big belly in front of her. I faked smiled down at her.
"I'm fine. Can we just enjoy the rest of the party." I said. She smile kissing my cheek.
I do know it's going to take me time to move passed this, but until then I'm putting all the drama to the back of my head.

I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. I could've been pregnant with his daughter right now, married, living in this house, and happy, but I left him. I feel so fucking dumb. I slid down the wall crying my eyes.
"I told you to go back, but you didn't listen." I come hear my mom voice.
"I regret not going back now."
"Why cause you see he's moved on and happy without you? You just couldn't help yourself. I told you over and over to stay and fight, but you learning the hard way now. My time has come. I did my best to help you. You might still be my child, but your actions made you miss everything you were going to have. Now look at you." She said. I couldn't do nothing but cry and think about my now fucked up life.
It's all my fault.
