"what do you mean mama" she said paying a little bit of attention "nothing princess" ur fathers a fucking crazy, as soon as i got a gas station i call jake but a lady answers *who is this* "um aali-" *just so u know jake is a married man.* "oh im so sor-" before i could apologize she hung up, well thats a no, so my mind goes to another important person in my life

"iceland." i said as we leave the airport, who lives in iceland u might ask? me. my whole life i relied on a man, if u cant find whats wrong with that sentence please re-read it xoxo, but now with the money i saved up or "borrowed" i rented a nice house "i love it here mama!" she said as we enter the house, iceland was beautiful its so peaceful everything ive needed.

"kali come on eat" i said as ive been waiting for her to eat for hours "until papa comes with my doggy" she said for the eighth time "well hes not coming, ever." i said making her cry "no-no wanna call him?" she stops crying and i grab my phone, "mar, kali would like to speak to u" i said handing her the phone "hi papa"..."im in my new house"..."yea we moved away!"..."i think to i-" i took away the phone before she could expose our location "mar dont ask her questions or im hanging up- speaking of hanging up bye" i said grabbing kali

"can u eat now?" she nods and takes a big bite, finally. okay this single parenting isnt easy...at all, but as my duty as kali's mother i have to do this "go play around" she did as told and went to the living room "now to get a job, no college degree, great." i said stressing out "maybe i should go back...mariano did help- no aaliyah u dont need to rely on anyone for shit." i finally found a job that could provide for us "thank goodness, they'll email me soon hopefully" as i get up i remember to tell chris "hey chris!" *u seem happy whats up?* "i moved, very quick move i know, but i can start over!" *im proud of u, does mariano know?* "no, see i dont want to tell him" *aaliyah, its very difficult to find a tight relationship with ur father and kali has that, u out of all people should know this* "i- fuck ur right, thank u bye." well run me over with a bus at this point

he might be right but that doesnt mean i'll listen to him ima bad bitch, i can make my own plans, but kali...they'll call eachother and visit him! boom problem solved. "when can we see papa?" "summertime" i said cleaning up "but thats so long away" she said complaining "well start distracting yourself it helps" i said giving her a nice smile she nods her head and runs to her room "for goodness sake." i said to myself

* mars pov *

"so you dont know where they are?" alejandro asks me "no do i need to repeat myself again" i said pissed off "hey this isnt the first time aaliyah left she probably went to iceland or some shit" i look at him for a second "who tf goes to iceland" i said annoyed "i dont know! im trying to help." he says defending himself "so she called, track it." mattia said also hurt by aaliyahs actions. "i cant" "and whys that" he replies "it was under 15 seconds" i said putting my hands on my face "shes smart" alejandro says trying not to smile "now that were ALL in a bad mood! we killed brent!" he says forcing a smile "what the fuck did u just say" i say standing up

"u guys are idiots- i cant afford to go to war- well i can but thats besides the point, i wont do shit till i find my daughter." they looks at me like i was joking "ur kidding right?" kairi said
