I've decided to change Tatums name to Mayz. Just a personal reference. So don't get confused.

"I met your mother in high school, your real mother not the woman that beats on you. She's your aunt. Anyway, I loved her,your mother, I loved her more than life. Sara was a beautiful, kind spirited, gentle, caring woman. She always put others first. When we both graduated high school we both went to the same college, I even bought us an apartment. Everything was great for two years. We were doing great in our classes, Your mother had an internship at a local hospital, she wanted to be a doctor and she was going to be one"

That's when we found out she was pregnant... with you. I was ecstatic,  your mother was worried at first, mostly about your health, but when she found out you were healthy she was so happy. We went over baby names, room colors, everything and some. You were due on January first. That's your birthday by the way, not the second, you were born 1:01 January first,1996. Your mother always said she wanted a baby on that day, She said it was good luck. I loved you and your mother so much I swore that I would always keep you safe form any harm, especially when you started dating."

That summer, you were about 7 months old, Lisa, your aunt, graduated high school and Sarah thought it would be great if she lived with us seeing how she was going to the same college as us."

So about 6 months into her living with us I came home from work like every other day. She- she had a knife to your mothers throat she said she would killer her if I dint leave with her and take you so that we could have a happy loving family without Sarah. I had to transfer colleges. I miss Sarah and the relationship I planed having with beautiful daughter who was my whole world. I was going to spoil you rotten. I was never going to say no to you. We were going to be a perfect family. But I've got prof now were going to put that woman in jail and your mother she's or shell be here in 10 minutes. you don't have to meet her now. Please forgive me Tatum, I love you." he finished and I don't know what to think or feel, so I just hugged him. He stiffened but hugged back. I started crying and  soon stopped when I herd the door bell.

" That would be your mother," my dad said getting up," Would you like to meet her?"

I nodded my head and walked down with my father. He paused before opening the door to look at me. I nodded my head and he opened the door.

Their was a woman around her late thirties made early forties.  She was a, well, beautiful woman. We had the same Dark brown hair and green eyes. Although hers were a brighter green than mine.

She looked at my father and smiled then at me and started to cry. 

"Oh Mayz I'm so sorry I haven't been here to be your mother. This isn't what I planed please forgive me. Can I have a hug or is it to soon. I'm so fucking sorry Mayz..."  I'm sure she would have gone on with that speech if I hadn't hugged her.

She started to cry worse, "Oh My God, you are so tiny, do you eat enough food. I would hate for you to be unhealthy.."

I nodded my head but began to feel light headed. I didn't know if it was the lack of food today that got me or the fact that my life was a...lie?

The last thing I remember was stepping back from this woman and dropping to the floor.

Oh hell I thought this isn't going to be good. Then I blacked out.
