We Found Each Other

moving in with my brothers

Here I am moving in with my brothers. They are happy about it, and I am too. I tried to stick it out with my mom. She is crazy. I love her, but she's in her own world. My brothers say she wasn't always like that. This version of her is all I have ever known. I have heard stories about how she used to be. I wish I knew that version of her, but I don't. She has always been an amazing mother, just not all there. I do feel bad for her.

But I also need to take care of myself and my mental health. Living with my brothers will provide me with a sense of stability and support that I have been lacking. I am grateful for their willingness to take me in and help me through this difficult time.

I know it won't be easy, but I am hopeful that things will get better. I am determined to make the most of this new living arrangement and focus on building a better future for myself. I am ready to leave the past behind and start fresh with my brothers by my side.

So here I am in Connecticut moving in with my brothers. I'm going to miss Florida, miss all my friends, and the life I had there. But my heart was always here in Connecticut. I didn't get the chance to know my father because he was taken from me at such a young age. Every time I came to visit, everyone always told me stories about him. It always made me feel closer to him. In a way, it makes me feel like he has always been with me.

Don't get me wrong. I love visiting and I love my friends. Crazy as they are. Trust me, my friends are as crazy as they come. Some of the things they tell me they did when I called, some of the things I saw, or we got into when I came to visit over the years of us growing up together. We have been us for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't trade them for anything. We're us until we die. We don't cross each other. We have each other's backs no matter what. Our type of loyalty you can't buy or find.

I haven't been back since I last visited, almost two years ago. My princess is about to be one year old. She is getting big and walking. She loves my brothers, and they love her too. She is going to love it here, especially with the way everyone spoils her. At least I hope she loves it here. Almost all my friends have kids, so she will have plenty of kids around her age to play with. All our kids can grow up together and be as close as we are. Hopefully, they won't get into as much trouble as we did.

I'm planning on telling her father, Vines, about her. I can't be in Connecticut and not tell him. I think honestly it's the reason I came. I can't keep this secret any longer. Don't worry, I'm not delusional; I know he and I will never be together. I just want my daughter to have her father in her life. I'm just scared he won't want her in his life. I'm just hoping he will at least listen before he gets all mad. Hopefully, he'll be receptive to the news and embrace his role in her life. I just want to do what's best for my daughter, and that's what matters most.

On the other hand, the things my girls tell me about him make me not want him near her. He is nothing like I remember him from that one night. It was just one night. I still want to look for him. He deserves to know his daughter, and she deserves to know her father. I'm not looking too hard. I've been keeping tabs on him through my crew. Yes, my girls know, but they also know not to say anything. Word is bond. We're all going to take our secrets to the grave. My crew and I may not be related, but blood wouldn't make us any closer. Our fathers all came up together, so we were bound to be close. We think we're untouchable. In a way, we are. Anyway, back to Vines, I'm not ready for all the nonsense that will come from telling him. I guess I'll just tell him when the time comes.

My crew consists of 8 girls. We have the twin sisters, Layla and Lily, followed by Aaliyah, Brooklyn, Savannah, Remi, and last but not least, Mackenzie. Don't forget about me. All of our fathers came up together. So you know we were raised like sisters. We have been best friends since we were young. We always have each other's backs and support one another through everything. Our bond is unbreakable and we know we can always rely on each other. Despite being a small crew, we are strong and unstoppable when we are together. We are a formidable group and will always support each other unconditionally.

We have been through thick and thin together, celebrating each other's successes and lifting each other up during tough times. Whether it's cheering each other on at sporting events, helping each other study for exams, or just hanging out and having fun, we always have a blast when we're together. We have gotten into a lot of trouble when it comes to guys, but what girl hasn't? Our friendship is built on trust, loyalty, and love, and we know that no matter what happens, we will always have each other's backs.

My crew is skilled at convincing men to cover the costs of their global adventures. They are financially independent; so why dip into their own funds when they can easily dip into someone else's? Despite their commitment to academics, they simply can't resist the allure of the streets.

We may come from different backgrounds and have different personalities, but that's what makes our crew so special. We bring out the best in each other and push each other to be the best versions of ourselves. We know that with our crew by our side, we can conquer anything that comes our way.

So here's to my amazing crew of girls, my sisters from another mister. I am grateful every day to have you all in my life, and I know that our bond will continue to grow stronger with each passing day. Cheers to many more years of friendship, laughter, and unforgettable memories together. Love you all!
