"Mommy, you will come today to my play? Right?" The 6- year old girl looked at me putting her hands together and giving me a begging look
"Eve baby, you kno-" I spoke as as I tucked a strand a piece of her hair behind her ears But she stopped me
"-Mommy no! You always say this, and it's my final play ma! Please" she said as I let out a sigh
"baby you know that whatever I do is for you, right?" I asked cupping her cheeks slowly
she nodded "but please mommy, just this once, I need you, because it's a big play and many important people are coming" she said giving me her puppy eyes
"alright baby, I'm coming" I said as she shrieked
"THANKYOU! THANKYOU MA!" She yelled jumping as she hugged me
"I love you ma!!" She said pressing a kiss to my cheek
"Oh baby; you know I love you more Eve" I said "now get ready love"
We both entered the room, I took her clothes out and she took it smiling at me before she entered the bathroom,
after getting ready, me and Evelyn got out
"E, Stay close" I whispered as I always do
"I know ma" she said taking hold of my dress as I locked the door, I held her hands and we got out as the people stared at us
the neighborhood we lived in wasn't anywhere near good, many bad things happen in here, many fights, guys would rape girls, and they'd always sit outside looking at girls hungrily as if they are the prey
this neighborhood wasn't neither safe for me or for Evelyn but this is the only place I could afford right now
I was dealing with many things right now
after taking the bus and making few stops, I held Evelyn's hand as we both entered her school
"Nervous?" I asked her as I held her hands
"bit, because it's a big event but really excited since you're here" she said looking up to me
"Im sorry baby" I said sadly
"I know ma, it's alright" she said and I smiled, I don't know how she grown up to be so understanding although she's only 6 years old
"EVE!" Sophie yelled running to her as they both hugged
"Guess what! Mommy's here today" eve said with a wide smile
"hey auntie B" Sophie said as I hugged her
"Hey baby, where's your parents?" I asked her
"they are waiting there, with the audience" she said smiling
"baby, I'm gonna go right now alright?" I said as eve nodded
"Good luck baby girl" I said planting a kiss to the top of her head
"thanks ma" she said
"Good luck to you too Soph; you both will do a good job" I said as they both smiled before waving a goodbye
"thankyou auntie B!" She said smiling happily
"have you seen Eve?" I asked as I looked around
"Yeah She was talking to a man over there" she said pointing
"A man?" I asked looking at Nate and Katie
"let's go congratulate her" Katie said to Sophie as they followed me before I was standing infront of Eve who had a man kneeling infront of her as they talked and shared some laughs
I couldn't see who the man was because he was giving me his back
"Eve baby" I cleared my throat before speaking
"MA!" Evelyn yelled before running to me and hugging me tightly
"I'm so proud of you baby! Congrats" I said
"Baby?" I heard a voice say before I looked up and I met the eyes of someone I haven't seen in almost 7 years
His features didn't change that much, he was still hot but he's grown up now
"Alex?" I said with a shock
"Alex?!" Katie said wide eyed as her mouth hung open and she looked at me worriedly
I can immediately feel someone wrap a hand around my waist and I knew it was Nate
"B..Becca?" Alex said confusedly
