Flashback: A few years earlier - Ajania is 9 /10

•

" It is all packed," Melody White asked her husband. Joshua White looked at his wife and nodded.

" Yes, my Love, it is. "

A few seconds later their daughter Harmony White came running down the stairs. Her dark brown curls bounced with every step.

The little girl looked up at her mother and smiled.

" Can I come Mom?".

Mrs. White looks down at her smaller daughter and shakes her head. “ No, baby. Sorry, this is for adults only. Maybe you could play with Milo and Jasmine they are here for you”.

The adults left and she was left with her siblings and Babysitter.

Jasmine comes running downstairs with her dark brown hair, and Milo runs downstairs as well with his curly short hair.

“ Come on, sis. Let's go play”.

Her brother Milo was yanking her with one hand while Jasmine was yanking her with the other one.

But Harmony couldn't help but feel like something was about to happen.

...

....

....

Sometime later, Milo, Jasmine, and Harmony were sitting in the living room; their butlers were standing next to the fireplace.

Harmony was looking in front of her; her Aunt Gladys leaned down to her level and tilted her head with her finger.

“ It's okay little one, everything will work out”.

Fine words she said.

Sadly, those words will come back to eat her.

The next day, Harmony learned that her mother was drinking alcohol and was using drugs, and her father, Joshua, was not making it better either.

He was giving her the will to do the things she was doing.

The brown-Skinned young girl cries and pulls her knees up to her chin.

She lost her mother, and her father ran off and they didn't have anyone left.

She would not see her siblings, because they would be taken away!

Her twin sat next to her then and pulled her smaller body close to him.

Her sister Jasmine did the same, they both hugged her and gave her kisses.

“ It's ok, Harmony. We will see you again; this is not goodbye. Think of it more like... A vocation. Just think of it as that”.

An hour later, the state took them away, and she was left at an orphanage center.

~

After staying for a year she was adopted by an African American woman named Evelyn Brookes.

The woman was a beautiful sight to look at.

Evelyn took one look at Harmony and just loved her.

Harmony was named Ajania since Evelyn loved the name.

Ajania was named after a flower, it was in the same category as Daisies.

Ajania and Evelyn formed a bond like no other.

After some time of living with the woman, Ajania would forget all about her family.

Especially her sister and Twin Brother.

...

...

...

10-year old Ajania Brookes woke up the first week of her new home, her brown eyes took in her new bedroom.

It was nothing like her old room.

Her family comes from money, and she could tell this woman was more middle class.

But she still mattered.

It didn't matter how much money you made, as long as you were trying in society.

She got up from bed and looked at the clock that was on her bed.

The time read -

7:15 Am

So it was morning time.

Ajania then decided that she wanted to make breakfast for her new mother.

She placed her pink robe over her body and walls downstairs.

Soon was cooking and Evelyn came downstairs.

Upon entering the kitchen, the woman looked at her new daughter with a shocked facial expression.

“ Ajania -”

She was cut off.

“ Ajay”.

“ What- excuse me?”.

Ajania looked at the African American woman in front of her and smiled.

“ I said my name is Ajay. Now, come I made breakfast for us. Let us eat”.

Evelyn was shocked, her mouth opened but no words came out.

Instead of speaking she just walks over to the table and sits down.

The two stared at each other and then began to eat.

The morning was quite stressful.

But not for long.

...

...

...

Yeah, it's not a long chapter. But it's something.

The next chapter should make more sense, just know you'll understand everything better in the end.

What do you want to see?

What do you think will happen?

Shock?

Sad?

Happy with the chapter?

Thank you! ❤️😍😘
