Alissa's POV- PRESENT DAY

We come back from a Turkish restaurant and Grace jumps on the couch. "I haven't eaten that much good food since... EVER." Grace moans and I laugh.

"Well kids, why don't you all get ready, and I'll pull out the matrass in the couch." Aunt Nazik says and we all disappear into a room.

I put on my pj's and wipe off my makeup, tying my hair into a messy bun.
After I brushed my teeth, I arrive in the family room, to see Aunt Nazik fixing the corners of the pull out mattress.
"Night my angel." She says and kisses my head before walking away.
"Right, I've got an idea," Jaden begins to say examining the bed, "One night someone sleeps in the bed and the other sleeps on the floor, and we change around every night. "Yeah, that could work." I give him the nod of approval and he smiles.

"But the question is, who's gonna sleep in the bed first?" I ask.
"Ladies first." He says and lifts a blanket off the chair and grabs a few pillows from the mattress and sets them on the floor.
"Night angel." Jaden says mimicking Aunt Nazik, yet he finds a way to say it 100 times cute.
"Night." I reply and turn off the lamp and submerge into the covers.

NEXT DAY

I wake up from Aunt Nazik opening up the blinds and a sudden flash of light, beams straight into my eyes.

I sit up and adjust my eyes to the light, and see Jaden shuffle around before his eyes are visible. "My poor eyes." He jokes and sits up too.
"Breakfast is cooking my angels." Auntie Nazik says, and I sniff, to smell the delicious food coming from the kitchen.

After a few minutes, she calls us all to the table and Turkish food lay across the entire table.

"Oo, I bagsy the sucuk!" I shout and load a bunch of the Turkish beef sausage onto my plate.
I also place some eggs, simit, and more.
"Yum. This simit is even better then I remember." Griffin says and takes a bite of the bread. "Oh angel it's me." Auntie Nazik laughs and so do we.
"This is even better then the dinner we had last night." Grace says shoving a bunch of food into her mouth, I don't think she even knows what she's eating.

After we ate the food, everyone got ready.
"We are going to the market today, to get some ingredients for dinner tonight." Aunt Nazik says with a strong accent.
"What's for dinner tonight, Anne (Mum in Turkish)." Esra asks. "Oh it's a surprise honey." She says and claps her hands twice.

Mother??
Have you worked out an answer yet?

Alissa
I'm in Turkey right now Adi.

Mother??
You know you can call me mom right?

Alissa
No, I really can't.

Mother??
I want to see you.

Alissa
You should've thought about that before
you left us

And left bruises on Griff's arm

Mother??
Talking about Griffin, does he know?

Alissa
No, and it's not like he would want to see
you anyways

Mother??
Why would he not want to see his own mother?

Alissa
Because of the scars that you gave him, using a belt,
slipper, pan, even your bare hands

No one with a good mind would even THINK about 
seeing you.

Mother??
He was a misbehaved child.

Alissa
So you're not even sorry about it?
You don't deserve a son and a daughter. We are 
successful, we make a LOT of money, we live in 
a mansion, what have you done? Pretending to 
miss us? Don't think that you can come back into
our life, and for us to forgive you and welcome you
with open arms, and give you all the money and love
you could ever want. CAUSE WE WONT

And try text me to get me to meet you, and I'll happily 
block you.
