It’s been a few days, but it feels like weeks, months even. I haven’t spoken a word to Elijah. I was hurting. I wasn't enough for his parents just like I wasn’t enough for my parents to keep me. The amount of times he tried to speak to me through text messages and when he picked Jasmine from school. I would dismiss him.

I still treated Jasmine as I treated everyone single on the kids, but every time I looked at her I saw his eyes looking back at me. Am I overreacting? Maybe I should speak to him and let him know how I felt when everything went down.

No. I won't reach out to him. I'm going to do all the things I need to do today. I continued on cleaning my room as I debated on reaching out to Elijah. As soon as I finished cleaning my room my phone rang.
