Hazel

"Ok mommy I just pulled up" Hazel said as she talked to Ananda over her car's Bluetooth. Today was a big day for her and Ananda had been by her side every step of the way. Ananda knew that she not only needed her but she needed this day and she was happy that she was finally having it. Step one was admitting that she had a problem which she did and here she was knocking on step two's doorstep going to get help for said problems.

"Ok baby make sure you take a deep breath and go in there with clear thoughts and positive vibes. You know why you're there and what your goal is" Ananda said. Ananda knew Hazel needed all the positives vibes she could get today. Where she was going she was going to need them. She was really doing this and it was a huge step for her.

Hazel took a deep breath and stared ahead. "Thank you mommy, well I better get inside I don't want to be late" she said feeling her hands starting to clam up against the steering wheel. She was nervous, a little scared, and didn't know what to really expect. From what she had read online today shouldn't be too difficult to manage but she figured it would be different from the first time she went decades ago. It was just a starting point but even with doing some minor research she was still just as nervous as she was when she finally admitted to herself that she had a problem or two. She realized that some of these problems she had she never really gotten over them instead she just buried them under lock and key.

"Ok I love you and call me when you're done"

"I will and I love you too"

"I love you too lil girl" Ian spoke up. He had been in the background alongside Ananda the whole time listening to what was going on. It had been a little over a year since the whole April and Hazel situation and although he was still disappointed in Hazel he just couldn't let her go just like Ananda couldn't. Many would say that they were wrong  and possibly stupid for choosing to still be in her life but no matter how wrong she was Hazel was still their child and if they walked away from her she would literally have no one.

Of course their relationship had changed some and he was a bit strict with her but he was still present in her life. He just moved a little differently when it came to her and always had his eyes on her. Both Ian and Ananda felt like Hazel's biological parents had already thrown her away once and they refused to do the same. If they did then how different would they be. They would be no different. For 17 years and counting they had been loving and caring for her like she was their own flesh and blood and to them she was theirs and even with their daughters not seeing eye to eye and beefing the three of them knew that no matter what they were still sisters. They just weren't fuckin with each other just like Ian and Ananda couldn't expect or force April and Alaina to willingly accept Hazel back into their lives. It was their decision and their decision alone. They understood very well why they chose to stop fucking with her. If Hazel had just been a friend it would've been easier to walk away but she was family and she had lost her way. They knew she had problems. She had come to them with problems but they didn't think that she was still harping on them since they had been in her life for so long. They thought they had helped her rid herself from all of the problems she had but clearly they were mistaken.
