Thanksgiving day
Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday out of the year. I get to eat a lot of food and just really be myself. It's been 2 months since I spoken abt my current situation. I don't know how but I've been really busy mya put me in so many programs and transferred me to this new school that has a big ass food truck and upstairs down stairs buildings. A movie theater and just a lot. It way bigger than my last. I honestly like this school. I made new friends and I don't have to worry about Nina anymore. As far as home I have my moments but other than that I just been taking piano lessons and practicing for the soccer season.

I walked into my grandmas house happier than I usually be. She smiled, "heyy you what has you on ten toes"

"I get peach cobbler" I smiled laughing

She laughed, " oh really? Is there something you want me to know?"

I tried my best to hold it in but I couldn't anymore, "I seen my dad"

The whole kitchen got silent and bey turned to look at me. My godmother spit out her drink. Bey looked really nervous and I just stood there smiling big.

"Ohh" my grandmother started, "when?"

"It was awhile ago. I was in the pizza parlor and he was sitting there all by himself. I didn't say anything but it looked a lot him"

"It could've been somebody else. Sweetie your dad wouldn't be in NYC"

I frowned, "I have a picture of him"

"Can I see" my godmother asked. I pulled out my phone and showed her, "blue eyes with face tats he looks like a killer but he's really nice he helped me carry my pizza out and gave me a fist bump-"

"Jas-"

"He knew my middle name grandma. He asked for my name and I said jaja and he said oh you're a gonzalez and I was really confused and he said me and your mom go way back and he just picked up his pizza calling me GG"

My godmom seen the picture

She handed me back the phone, " I mean he is really good loo-"

"KELLY" my grandma and bey yelled

She played with her hair, "well I'm sorry shit" she got up, "this conversation no longer needs my opinion"

My grandmother shook her head and looked at me, "did he give you a way to contact him?"

I shook my head getting watermelon, " he just told me he knew my mom that's all"

My grandmother wiped her hands, "well go play outside its grown folks convo now"

I nodded taking my plate with me and went outside.

Dinner
Everyone was sitting down eating and bey was no where to be found. We all said grace and began to eat as a family. The aunties started drinking and uncles started talking about how they were pimps back in the day. We started doing the wobble and having a good time. I decided to go look for my real mom but she was no where to be found. I needed to tell her something important but as usual she was never to be found. I ran into my auntie and I asked her where Bey went and she said she flew back to nyc to take care of some business. I sighed rolling my eyes
