Mya

"Mya, dinner is ready." everybody got up and walked out to the kitchen. It was mac and cheese, collard greens, and fried chicken. Mama still knew how to throw down still.

"Ma, well than shoot let's eat then." eveybody laughed and sat down.

"Bridgett, say prayer. Please." mom asked and we bowed our heads.

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day and thank you for your loving and mercy. I ask that you guide us through our lives. And for us to enjoy thhis because mama can throw in the kitchen even with some boiling water." then everybody laughed. "Amen."

"So August, are you planning to marry Mya soon ?" she said as she ate. I looked at August and he smiled.

"Soon. We just started dating." she nodded and looked over at Bri.

"Kevin. Why do you look so familiar ?" everybody dropped their forks and stood shock. I just kept eating.

"Mya, why are you eating ? This is a stop-eating-food moment." August said.

"Y'all stop eating. I didn't." then they went back to looking at Mom.

"You probraly heard of my dad."

"You mean Mayor George." he nodded and she ran away.

"Oh okay. I'm going to check on her." I said and everybody went back to eating.

I heard sniffles from in the bathroom. I placed my hand on the knob to turn it but the door was locked.

"Mom. It's me, Mya."

"Go away, Mya. You will think I didn't love your father." she cried again.

"Mom, just open the door and we will talk about what is going on." I felt the door fall foward and mom was standing straight.

"I'll ask Kevin some question." I held her hand and we walked downstairs.

"Kevin, sweetie how old are you ?"

"17. And Isis is 15." she nodded and still looked at him.

"What is your mom name ?"

"I don't know. My dad remarried because he said my mom left us." she looked at me and I felt uncomfortable, still not knowing what is going on.

"Well, Kevin and Isis, I have something to tell you guys."

"Okay. What is it ?"

"But before I say it, Mya and Bridgett, don't think I didn't love you guys."

"Ma, you're scaring me." Bri said

"Yes, you are."

"Well Kevin and Isis."
