gathered. He told one of the police officers to stay here until he returned. Mama stood up, grabbed Melanie, and took her into the kitchen. Jeremiah and I followed. I refused to let Melanie out of my sight! It was hurting me to see my friend in so much pain. I couldn't help but wonder would she ever be the same after all of this.
    “Oh my GOD” Melanie exclaimed “I need to call DJ. He's going to be so mad. He doesn't know about anything.”
          DJ moved out as soon as he graduated from high school. He rarely comes around because he is so busy with school, work, and basketball. Even though he lived only ten minutes away, it seemed like he lived in another state. Melanie and DJ are extremely close, and they talk almost every night on the phone and Skype. As I watched her cry on the phone to him telling him everything that had happen from start to finish, I knew there was going to be more drama as soon as he got here. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be here when he got here.

          Meanwhile, mama had asked me to take a ride with her somewhere. She wouldn't tell me where we were going, but the car ride itself had me a little suspicious.
    “Riyah, I want to talk to you about your sister” She said as she drove to our destination.
    “Ma, I really don't wanna talk about her” I replied
    “I think you need to, she is still your sister no matter what, that won't change...EVER!”
    “Yea, I know...don't remind me”
    “Riyah, you’re going to have to forgive her one day”
    “Yea, well it won't be no time soon believe that”
          I could tell mama wanted to say so much more but she didn't want to argue. The look on her face told me she was exhausted. I wish I could fix all of this so she wouldn't have to look so worn out but there was no fixing this.
    “Ma are you okay? You don't look too good!”
    “I'm fine baby; I'm just worried about our family. I want to fix it all but nobody wants to help me.”
    “But ma, this is something out of your hands. You can't fix this. I don't think nobody can.”
    “Oh baby, GOD can! I just wish HE would show up already and take control over everything.”
    “I know mama. Where are we going anyway?”
    “Nice try! I'm not telling you because I don't want you to run away. You will see when we get there. We're almost there!”
    “Okay now I'm really worried. Ma, where are you taking me?” I asked but got no response.
          I was so nervous that my legs began to shake. “Please not now GOD! Don't let me have an anxiety attack right now.” I prayed.
          As we pulled into a parking garage, I looked up and saw this person walking towards us. I sat there and watched Mama get out of the car. When she realized that I was still sitting inside, she motioned for me to come on. Reluctantly I unbuckled my seat belt and stepped out of the car. Mama grabbed my hand and led me to this person. As we got closer, I began to make out this person and I realized who it was.
    “Are you serious?” I asked Mama as I let her hand go.
    “She is your sister and we need to talk this out, so that our family can begin the healing process” Mama explained.
    “But why am I the only one here, where's dad?”
    “Your father is going to take a lot more time and effort to get through to. I will work on him, but first I need you two to begin working on your relationship.”
    “Mama, we have no relationship. In case you didn't notice, we haven't had a relationship since we were babies. There's no repairing this.”
    “Mariyah, I understand that you are hurting, I am to...”
    “Then how can you defend her and act like everything is okay?           
    How can you stand here and ask me to do the impossible, forgive my sister for sleeping with my godfather and hurting my best friend? She ruined our family, both families. Our family will never be the same again because of it, and I'm supposed to just forgive and
