Mother Teresa
“Well are you gonna say hello? Or be rude like always?”Re’Aisio has the
nerve to ask us. But we kill her with kindness. “Oh,so good to see that you
survived. You know the gunshots. Movies.” I say, andwe all smile. “Same day
your kids got taken.” C-dog adds. “You guys reallythink I wanted my kids to be
taken from me?” she pretends to cry. “We are grownnow and Key has never had
a mother so we don’t need you and you don't need us.”I say almost tearing up.
“Oh and Key, is Liana. Incase you didn’t know.'' Weall walk to the line and order
our ice cream. (Key doesn’t remember our biologicalmom, but she looks just like
her so it's hard to not notice her. Me and C-dog looklike our dad. Hence “Carl”
he’s a junior.) We all got banana splits, it's justan old tradition from our old
house. When we were just on the way out the door,we heard. “Sit. Tanalya, Carl,
and Liana. We all need to talk.” It sounds like Carlos.We kept walking anyway
because we really didn't care for him. We try openingthe door to leave but it's no
use. He always uses his powers against us. We thensit. “What?” we all ask
inquisitively. Then Re’Aisio comes out of nowhereand also sits. I get it now. They
think this is a family reunion. “Carl, would you liketo explain what’s going on?”
Carlos insists. I almost broke my neck turning towardshim. “What is he-?” I got
interrupted. “Enough! Okay, fine. I started this.Carlos threatened me. He wanted
me to get close to Lya and Key. Then Re’Aiso wantedme to find Carlos for her.
And I-, I don't know what I want. I love my sisters.I would’ve never used them the
