#BLM
I just wanted to take this quick time to say I was pondering on the longest time to update just because of how life has been playing out in but I decided to push something out.

In these times we as black people have found ourselves AGAIN fighting for our justice which should never even be an option. We are constantly fighting for the systemic racism that runs in the government and within American, hell ACROSS the world

I'll forever scream for our justice and if you can sign to any petition you can I'm not saying go out and protest hell I've been out there it's been hectic. This is, more than, fighting for taken away not just one black man's life but the others but for change.

#Justice for George Floyd #Justic for Breonna Taylor #to all the souls we have lost due to the white man.

Devon suspected nothing the other night when he saw his best friend leave our shared home at going on 1 in the morning I didn't want to believe he was that naive but why would he think it was anything else? I never have given the reason to and in his eyes, his best friend was his brother hell they practically were Kion would spend more time with Devon then his own family when his father died so it was the blueprint for them to be thick as thieves.

I have just finished my job shift for the day and my phone pings I take a deep breathe pressing the unlock button to my car to see it's a reminder to send the wedding planner the theme for the wedding, The wedding was still going ahead as planned nothing was going to change because of my adultery but the guilt I felt was slowly pulling at my sanity little by little I was afraid there would be no more to pull and I'll completely snap and lose myself.

The theme was black and grey the tables would be in the finest silk with great big glass vases on each table spotted around the hall, grey drapes it was truly going to be beautiful.

Paris was going to be in such a beautiful white dress with an overlapped puff skirt that took up half of the space whenever she walked I couldn't wait to see her release the flowers all over the floor as she walked down the aisle. Paris was my life and soul in a human form and this was another reason why I couldn't disclose the secret Kion and I kept she would look at me differently hell, the whole family would.

I quickly text the wedding planner as I slide into the driver's seat starting the engine a little bit of me hopes Kion calls me but I buried whatever we had going on I've seen him a couple of times since then but it's only been quick glances whereas kion not so much looks my way he's become reserved and distant again and I need to let him be him and I be me.

My phone calls once again when I'm pulling into the Macdonalds drive through I scrunch my face in confusion at my mother's name across my screen she never calls me, even when she does it's a strict conversion of her belittling me in a twisted mechanical way and then changing the subject onto her achievements in life.

"Kaya, what do I owe the pleasure today?"

"Why didn't you tell me you're getting married in two months should I not get the right to be informed I am your mother?" No wonder she called me she's going to twist my words and contort her mind games onto me over my own wedding, she's never shown an interest in my life once I moved up away from the fucked up place I grew up into. "I don't see the reason why I had to. I don't think you've ever even met Devon."

"Marriage is a big step. I just never knew you had it in you to get married because THAT is honestly beyond me." rolling my eyes at the subtle jab I pull up to the window to hand over my money.

"I'm guessing you thought I was going to be pimped out huh? shame on you Kaya you need to stop trying to shit on my life because you want me to be a hoe."

My mother scoffs. "I just thought you would have the common decency to invite your mother."

My family is a topic that I have rarely talked about with Devon, it's a part of me I like to lock away and throw away the key I see no reason to let anyone dig deeper and to see into what or rather who I was before it would ruin the life I have made here. I never dwelled into my family's business but they always thought to disrupt mine.

My mother didn't even know I was pregnant and even when I went to tell her she had thought I had made it up for attention, it was absolutely sickening to watch my momma look me up and down the guilt of her own doings ruining her image of the daughter she once cared for not a lot but she did care to some small extent I just wasn't important among my other siblings and it made sense I wasn't important and that was that. So when Paris was born I never told any of them they had no reason to meet my beautiful baby girl she was way too pure.

"I lost common decency for you as soon as I turned 16 get the fuck off my line I'm sick and tired of you calling me to talk shit. I stop to grab my food from the last window and quickly pull off, " I wish you would give the other family members the same message so they can leave me the fuck alone ya'll ain't invited to my wedding."

"Little girl don't you ever speak to me like that again I'll rock your world. I wouldn't be surprised if this man leaves you, you'll lucky to have children and raise them as I did."

"Have you lost your damn mind bitch?" I can't believe she still feels the need to throw shit in my face I'm sick and tired of her treating me like this absolutely sick and tired of her.

"I AM a mother. I hope you heard me because I'm not going to repeat my self I.AM.GROWN. I hope you drop dead it is shameful to even call yourself a mother after all the things you let happen to me DON'T ever call me again or I'll light your ass up with my man's gun."

I quickly put down the phone and take a deep breath as tears start to cascade down my face I vowed to never let this woman let me put my guard down but she always seems to come in and take the last bit of happiness and the will for me to fight in me.

Once I've made it home it's going on 3 I've suspected Devon has already picked up Paris but she's no-where to be seen when I walk in, "Dev baby you home?" I shout shutting the door behind me running a hand through my hair Devon walks out from our pantry shirtless with only grey shorts sporting his body I bite down on my bottom lip slowly but I'm not even in the mood for all of that.

"Baby you alright you look upset?" I sigh putting down my purse on the settee, "I'm just stressed out from work and this wedding." Devon sucks his teeth walking towards me placing his hands around my waist protectively pulling me into his strong build I let out a breath in his warm embrace he just reminds me of everything I am fighting for.

"Don't even think about that, Paris wanted to see her cousins so I dropped her off at my mom's let's just chill and have some time to ourselves how that sound?"

I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck smiling at him his hands now resting on the small of my back, "That sounds lovely thank you, babe."

If only I knew our world would come crashing down after that.

If you've made it here I appreciate you this chapter was quite shit but we've never actually talked about Acadia's background but I divided to add a little bit in to start off the real problems she endured so stay tuned
Also, excuse any mistakes I've made I'm tired asl &&&& remember to vote to get trump out !
