Angela’s POV
I didn’t return home that night. I waited till morning to leave my mom’s side. She hadn’t eaten since Brittany took her last breath at the hospital and I was determined to help put her back together. I had to move in with her. I was all she had. It would be bad if I turned my back on her.
I would give it two days before I move in with her for a while.
As I arrived at home, I saw Mason and Velicia in the kitchen. She was busy making breakfast while Mason laughed at something she said. I was like a stranger in a place I’d turned to home. They both turned to look at me and before they could. say a word, I walked away.
I entered Reina’s room to see Darius helping her get ready. I took Reina from his hand without a prior warning and on the bed.

I smiled at her. “Morning mama,” she said cheekily.
“Morning babes. Slept well?”
“Yes, mama,
“Good, Let’s get you ready to go see your grandma. She misses you and she wants to see you,”
She smiled at me excitedly. “Yes, I can’t wait to see grandma. Can we wait till after breakfast? Daddy’s girlfriend is making breakfast,

“It’s not what you think,” Darius began.
“It’s never about what I think. It’s about what you tell me, I gave him a fake smile and ignored him.
We took some of Reina’s coloring books and I began searching for her bag.
“What are you looking for?” Darius asked and I ignored him totally
He groaned. “If I don’t know what you’re searching for, I can’t help you.”
I frowned. I’ve been gone for just two days, Dairues, not two years. Things are still supposed to be the way I left them.

And I’m losing you too! I almost added that part but I stopped.
“That’s not what I mean. If you’re searching for her bag, I kept it downstairs on the dining table last night so I’ll find it quickly,”
I took a deep breath, “thanks,”
I held Reina’s hand and we walked out of the room. We got to the dining area and I couldn’t find her bag but instead, several meal plates were on the table. I searched the living room and I found her bag on the chair. I put in her coloring books and pencils.
