Unknown Child

Part 12.1

Michaela
I can't believe I'm about to move to Atlanta with Whitney. Sam couldn't come even is she wanted to they moved back to Cali since we both wanted to be back in the states with each other. So now after explaining again to my siblings about me leaving for Atlanta I'm on my way. My god-mommy decided it would be best if she accompanied. And make sure I settle in okay. Whitney had already left and I just can't believe this.

"Mya sit up honey. Don't slouch" said my godmother. I say yo in the seat as we were in the car to take up to Whitney's. I looked out the window.

"What if she still does drugs?" I asked no one in particular.

"Oh Mya. That's now going to happen. She passed the drug test and has be clean for years now." My godmother said.

"How long will you stay?" I asked.

"I'm going to stay as long as you need to make sure you are comfortable. Before long you are going to want to push me out." She said.

"I don't see that happening. Why couldn't I just visit and live with you." I said. As we pulled up to the house. It was okay smaller than I imagined based on her house in Newark. My god mother got out and was walking towards the door with me trailing her.

"Because after your father past you need your mother to help guide you. I'm not going to always be there." She said as she rung the doorbell waiting for someone to answer.

"An addicted deadbeat mother is not going to always be there either." I said quickly back to her. She turned to me so fast. And gave me a knowing look.

"Don't let me hear that come out your mouth again." She said.

"Why not she is a deadbeat mother with an addiction." I said again. Only difference was we didn't notice someone had already opened the door.

"Well I hope I can change your mind about me soon." We both heard her say as my godmother turn towards her.

"Whitney." My godmother say.

"It's okay Diana. If that's how she sees me I will have to show her a different side of me. Now both of you all come in." She says. My godmother steps inside and I step in after her with the driver bringing our bags inside.

"Oh Whitney this is truly a nice foyer area I love the chandelier." My godmother lies. It's the ugliest this ever.

"Umph" I grunt and roll my eyes.

"So I will give you 2 a house tour and this you guys can get settle I know we all maybe tired. I have dinner being catered to us later." She says.

"You didn't have to go through that trouble." My godmother says.

"I wanted to. It's not everyday, at least for me I have both my daughters in the same house as me. I wanted it to be special. " she said looking towards me with sympathy. I looked away from her. She soon began to show us around and then to our rooms. My was right next to Krissy who I hadn't seen since we came in but only because she was out at the moment with friends.

I went and cleaned up in my new room. She had a photo of what looked like her and me as a baby. I put that down and in a drawer. Seems like she wants to make things happy times and forget the past. I just can't do that. I heard a door close and then talking In the hallway.

(Hallway conversation)

"Mommy you hear?"  Krissy asked. Her mom came out her room and shh'd her.

"Yes why are you yelling in my house." Whitney said more of a statement then a question.

"Is Mya here?" Krissy asked.

"Yes. Not a fan of me at the moment but I'm hoping I can change that." Whitney said.

"Your going to be okay mommy, she hasn't lived with us in years. You never know It can be good for her." Krissy said.

"I hope so baby." I heard Whitney say. I backed away from the door and closed it. I don't understand why I have to stay here. She made it really clear I was a mistake and even gave me away. I sat on the bed in my thoughts I didn't notice I was crying and someone walked in the room.

"Are you okay?" I heard Krissy ask.

"I'm fine something was in my eye I said wiping my tears." I said

"You know she really has gotten better and changed for the both of us." She said while sitting next to me. I just shrugged.

"I just want to be left alone for while if you don't mind." I told her. She stood up.

"I understand just know we are here for you now too. I've always been." She said walking out and closing the door behind  her.

I laid in bed just letting the thoughts consume me until I fell asleep.

Whitney P.o.v.

We were all sitting around and one person was missing. Michaela.

"Hey Krissy have you seen Mya?" I asked her while we were at the table.

"Yeah we saw her. She wanted to be alone though so I left." Krissy said.

"I will go check on her." Said her godmother Diana. I contemplated my next move.

"Wait let me, please." I told her.

"I think that would be okay." She said. She sat back down and I exhaled and got up going to her room I knocked but got no answer. I slightly opened the door to see her laying down in bed. I walked into the room looking around. The photo I put up on the dresser of her and I was no longer there. I watched her as she slept for awhile. Touched her curls. I can't imagine what's going through her head because of me.
