Jewelanna's POV
"Miss. Johnson, Mr. Derrick is here to see you." My assistant Ruby said,
"Let him in."
"Hey baby, I brought you some food," Derrick said walking into my office and over to me giving me a kiss.
"Hey my love, thank you so much. I don't get a break today." I thanked while him taking the food from him.
"You're welcome, ready for our trip back home?" He asked sitting down on one of the couches in my office.
"No, not really. But I'm excited to see everyone. Especially Aria, Abby, and Mason. I haven't seen them in forever. Well, I have never seen Aria but over facetime." I frowned.
"Well get ready because we leave tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see my parents." He smiled.
Derrick and I are going back to New York tomorrow because my mom is getting married in a week. Charles finally decided to do the right thing and marry my mother, do I like it? No. I really don't wanna go but I love my mother so I am. Our relationship hasn't been the same since Charles came back but I know this is very important to her. So I'm going to go. Of course, Derrick had to talk me into it.
"Stop stressing. I know you haven't seen your family since that whole incent happened. Everything is going to be okay. I forgave them, why can't you?" Derrick asked making his way over to me.
"Because it's different for me than you." I simply stated.
"How? I lost-"
"I don't want to talk about it. In fact, I think you should leave. I'll be home later." I interpreted him.
I watched as he left my office. Over the best two years, things have changed a lot. I went into a deep depression that caused me to lose weight. I don't talk to the little family I did have anymore and I only talk to Angie every blue moon. Marcus and I aren't as close as we were after everything happened I blamed them but I blamed myself more. It was a learning experience for Derrick and me, we were living separately but once I went into my depression my psychologist thought it would be a great idea for us to move in together. And we have been ever since. It was rough but we got through it, our relationship with each other got better but also with GOD.
Going home tomorrow is nerve-racking, my mother is getting married to a guy that choose life over his children. And not only is my mom's family going to be there but so are his. I haven't seen these people since I was a little girl. Now they only call when they need money. I've paid for three my cousins' colleges and I've never met them before. I do however get reports of their grades so I know my money isn't going to waste. They have to keep at least a 3.0 GPA or I stop paying, they also have to be active in at least one of the activities on campus.
