After the disastrous event that took place a year ago. Gia moved on with her life. New place, no one knows her or her back story. One thing she's keeping quiet about is her new baby.
Delano is still reaping from what he did to gia. He wants to make...

I have no idea why I'm in my car. My head was pounding and I reeked of a mixture between alcohol and sweat. It was disgusting. I don't normally drink like that. So I'm not really sure why I smell like alcohol. Rubbing my hand over my face I was definitely out of it. Slowly trying to get my head together I started driving home.
Pulling into the driveway I didn't see Gia's car. I was still upset with her. Turning the car off I sat there.
[flashback]...
"But I don't want to stay here!" I whined. My mom decided it would be best to leave me in a home while she travel around the world with her new rich boyfriend. He wanted nothing to do with me coming along. Now as a mother you would think she would put her foot down and take me. Instead, she dropped me here at this home for children.
I was confused. Afraid. "Oh stop it! Be good for these people and I'll be back. I promise and I'll even bring you back a gift". Pulling at her jacket "please don't go and leave me here! Please" I cried. My grandmother was no longer alive to watch me. "Delano you are a big boy you'll be nine soon! Start acting like it. Man up".
Having tears flow down my face "Mommy please don't go! Please don't leave me here! Please I'll be good! I'll do whatever you want!" I cried.
She didn't look back once at me. She kept walking straight out the door. Hearing that heavy door close and lock I knew I was alone. And who knew when she'll be back. Everyone here was scary. I didn't belong here and I knew it.
After a good month I was convinced my mother wasn't coming back. Which hurt me so much. But after a good three months she came back for me. I was so happy to see her. She patted me on the head "listen plans changed. But you'll have to stay here a little longer". When she told me that I wasn't phased by it. She didn't want me. That's why she kept leaving me.
Three months after that she popped back up. She had a new fur coat on and she looked like a million bucks. This time she took me home. When she left me there it forever changed me. It's like leaving a dog at the pound. "Aren't you happy to be home?" She asked.
I shrugged.
Truthfully could I be happy? How do I know she will stay around. She might leave again? Whomever I marry I'll make sure that she never leaves me. The pain of having someone abandon you is deep. It's like an open wound ripping open over and over. I refuse to feel that pain again.
For one I wasn't that same kid who was put in that home almost a year ago. I changed. Now I know I can control my life to make it the way I want. And not give someone that power.
When I came to I was still sitting in the car. I got out and went inside. It was quiet and no one was home. That wasn't odd at all. When I looked around the living room was messy. As if a brawl happened. Maybe Kai and Ryan were wrestling again.
I needed a shower. The smell coming from my pours was making me sick. After scrubbing myself clean I wrapped a towel around my waist and went to the kitchen. On the fridge I saw a note.
Delano,
I know you'll come to your senses and want to apologize for what you did and said. But I don't want to hear anything. You said some hurtful things to me and the most hurtful thing is that the kids witnessed what happened. We are trying to hard to raise them differently than how we were raised and we are doing the complete opposite. I can't have that. Took the kids on a nice holiday vacation. Also, to give you time to get your head together. Don't come looking for us. We will return at the end of the week. The person I saw last night wasn't you.
Gia
Crumbling up the paper and throwing it out. I can't remember what happened. Or maybe she's making things up. But the kids saw what happened. Shit!. Facepalming myself cause I can only imagine all I told her. Or how I acted.
Sitting on the couch that pain I felt when I was nine was coming back. That ping in my chest was there. Getting my phone I wanted to call Gia and check on the kids but I put the phone down and just sat there.
