ALISHA'S P.O.V.

I woke up this morning with a heavy heart terrible ache in my chest.

I tried so hard and failed to ignore that it had something to do with the biology project being completed and not having an excuse to hang out with Jayden.

I was sitting on the kitchen island drinking a cup of coffee when the gate bell rang. My heart leaped with hope that it was Jayden who came over and that even if it was unknowingly, prove to me that our friendship was more than just a biology project,that he actually enjoyed spending time with her as much as she loved spending time with him.

With a lot of excitement, I ran to the gate and opened it. My heart deflated instantly.

It was only the mail man coming to deliver a package that was sent to me.
He handed me the package and said"Please sign here."
"Okay, thank you."I said.

After that he left and I turned back toward the house,just left the gate open and waltzed back into the house with the package.

I dropped the package on the living room table and went to the kitchen to finish off my coffee.

After coffee, I went back to the living room and sat down staring at the package.

I already knew who it was from, my mother.

It was that time of the month again when she would send my monthly allowance which was much more than I needed anyway.

I heaved out a sigh and ripped the wrapper open.

Usually, it was just money , but this time it wasn't just money. There was an envelope over the stack of cash with the words 'To my beautiful Alisha' written on it.

I took the letter in my hand and no doubt it was from my mom.
I took a deep breath and opened the envelope.
I started reading,

Dear Alisha,
I know you don't want to see me, or even hear from me right now and that's okay because I understand that you're very angry at me, but I want you to know that I am your mother and love you very much and always will.

I know I owe you a lot of explanations that you deserve. You may think that I abandoned you and took Alessia with me because of my lack of love for you but that's not true.

I want to get a chance to explain everything to you and make you understand that I did what I did in your best interest.

What I did three years ago may have caused you a lot of pain and tears and I'm sorry and really wish I could be there to wipe your tears away, if I wasn't the cause of them.

As I continued reading the letter, tears threatened to spill from my eyes.

I want to have a chance to explain everything to you and I tried so many times to reach you on your phone or even through social media, but you avoided any conversation with me.

I just wanted to let you know that Alessia and I are coming back to Canada and when we get back we can all down and talk this out as family and make a fresh start, together. Remember that you are strong and beautiful and that your sister and I love you very much. Anything you cant tell me or Alessia, you can tell to the man in the sky.

P.S. I know you are up for a scholarship to study psychology at oxblood. I'm so proud of you.
Please call when you get this.

Lots of love,
Mom.

As I finished the letter I was already full-on crying.

She was right, this was the first time I was hearing from her in a long time and that was because I always avoided her calls and blocked her on all social media.

I loved my mom, growing up, she was one of the things I used to be so grateful to God for in my life.

She was open, caring, loving and not cold or judgemental.

She was so supportive of us growing up and telling us to explore new things.

My dad was a different story, not like he was the worst dad in the world, he just, wasn't the best.

He was always busy with work, late nights, coming back home in the early morning around four.

He just wasn't there,but my mom never allowed us feel his absence.

Since I became a teenager, the family weekends we used to have were replaced by his long business trips.

That was why we didn't get much of him around.

I was ready to know everything and I had already forgiven her for it, a long time ago.

I was just ....hurt.

Slightly relieved from the sadness I was feeling earlier, I was sane enough to make a decision.

I got up and went to my room.

KAITLYN'S P.O.V.

I had made my decision and I wasn't going back on it.

Since Alisha was willing to talk to me by technological means,I was ready to go old school.

I wrote a letter to her and was currently at the post office,NIPOST to deliver it to her along with her monthly allowances.

I addressed the letter to her and put it on the stack of money,put the package wrapping paper on it, wrote the address stamped it and sent, with a lot of hope that it touched her.

I went back home with high hopes that she would contact me.

I got back home and sat down on the living room couch of  my seven room bungalow.

My daughter Alessia coming out from kitchen that was joined to the living room.

"Hey mom,"she greeted.

"Hey baby girl,"I said as she plopped down on the couch beside me, lying on her side and head on my lap.

"Did you do it?" she asked looking up at me hopefully.

I gave her a smile and said,"Yes."

She sat up and said "I cant wait to see her again and so that we can be together again , like old times."

"Yes, like old times."

"Then we can have late nights, gossip about boys and you can give us lectures on life and we would all sit and laugh. We would wear matching clothes and just be us, just like you've always taught us."

Everything she said was just what I wanted to happen and nothing else.

To be together again after three long years and having to deal with so much.

"I'll be starting freshman year there at Winston high,I'm so excited!" she said letting out a squeal.

We spent the rest of the day binge watching Jamai Raja(King of hearts) season two.

It's all up to you now Alisha....

A/N:
😢😢😢😢😢
I'm so happy things are coming together in Alisha's life...
I really want them to overlook all the problems of the past .

I want Kaitlyn to explain everything in detail to her two lovely daughters...

We won't be hearing from Jayden for the next few chapters ...
I'm sad too,  but this needs to happen so the story can portray it's full meaning.

What were your feels for this chapter?
Let me know via private message...

That's a picture of what I think Alessia looks like....
Similar to Alisha, but with brown eyes...
