who am I?

Faith's POV

"I can't wait for this interview to be over" I roll my eyes and sigh. "We haven't even got to the there yet" Michael chuckles. "I know, but the Sarah and my mom were really good friends when she worked there and I just know she's gonna be a bitch and try go into personal stuff"

"Interviewers always try and pry into our personal life" he shrugs "but that's not the real reason your feeling this way though, is it?"

"Yes. I just don't like doing interviews is all" I shrug casually. "It's ok to admit your worried about seeing your mom"

"I'm fine about it. It's not like she can say anything you and my dad haven't told me already.. which is nothing but lies" I say that last part sarcastically. "Well after the interview, I'm gonna go pick Precious  up from my mother then go to the studio. I'll take Precious with me if you want?" He says changing the subject, taking the hint I don't want to talk about this anymore.

"Thanks. I'll come and pick her up once I'm done. We should probably start getting ready" I say heading upstairs to go get ready for our interview.

Michael's POV

It's only 2 minutes into the interview and Sarah, the woman who's interviewing us is already trying to get personal with with us and starts going on about rumours and other crap.

"Your mother hasn't been seen much lately and alot of people have been speculating that she's been admitted into a hostpital and is dealing with alot of mental issues after her breakdown. Do you have any comment on that?"

"She's just taking some time to herself, away from the spot light" I lie. "It must have been very difficult for her finding out her underaged daughter had gotten pregnant by her own uncle. Is that what caused the breakdown?"

"I was 18 when I got pregnant and my mom hasn't had a breakdown as Michael just told you. She's just taking some..."

"But you were sleeping together before that. How did Jackie feel when he found out his own brother had been sleeping with his only daughter? He must have been furious" She turns to me"

"My brother has two daughters actually. Faith and Brandi. And he wasn't happy at first, but now he's..."

"I'm sure he wasn't! What was the rest of your family's reaction?"

"They were fine" I shrug. "They were fine with you having sex with your niece?" She looks at me skeptically. "They were more concerned about the fact my mother had bleached my skin as a baby and never told me who my real dad was and.. "

"And what about your fans?" She turns back to me. "How did they feel about your relationship?"

"My fans have been very supportive and..."

"But what about when they found out Faith was your underage niece? Do you usually prefer younger women?"

"Faith wasn't under..."

"She was 17 when you confessed you loved her during a live interview. You said you loved her  'In a way a man shouldn't love his niece' were your exact words. So she would have been underage"

"That doesn't mean we had sex" Faith cuts in. "Well you have a daughter together and one on the way so clearly the two of you have been having sex" Sarah says with a slight smirk on her face. "And if you checked the dates then you'd know how old I was at the time"

"It's also rumoured that you were arrested at one point because of sex tape being found by Faith's mother" she turns to me. "Not true" I lie "but you can see why many people would think what your doing is wrong?"

"We've already answered that question many times and our answer is still no and to be honest at lot of people don't care and are over it" Faith says with a slight attitude. "How has all of this affected your career?" Sarah turns to me. "It hasn't affected anything" I shrug "but it must have affected your family"

"Our family is fine and..."

"But what about your relationship with your brother?"

"He already told you, he and my dad a fine" Faith says getting even more annoyed. "I'm just trying to understand things from your point of you and hear your side of the story" she fakes a smile at Faith. "And we'd be more than happy to tell you, but your making it very difficult for us"

"I'm just asking questions which alot of the public would like to know and... "

"Well maybe if you shut up long enough for us to finish talking then we could tell you and then you'd know" Faith cuts her off and Sarah doesn't say anything for a moment, taken aback by Faith's sudden attitude. "Well.... umm... how do you feel about... the... um.." Sarah stutters, awkwardly.

"Well... I feel like your being very unprofessional by keep cutting us off and asking ridiculous questions about rumours which if you'd bothered to let us speak, we'd be able to clear up" Faith says and Sarah akwardly looks at me like she wants me to say something and I shrug.

I can see why Faith's getting an attitude and I'm just as pissed off with this woman, but unlike me. Faith has no problem, getting an attitude and calling people out regardless off whether or not she's on live TV, which is one of the thing's I really love and admire about her.

"Maybe we should start again" Sarah says faking a smile for the camera's. "Or maybe me and Micheal are going to leave now and we'll more than happy to come back back your not being such a bitch and are a little more prepared for this interview" Faith fakes a smile back at her and gets up from her seat and walks out and I quickly follow behind her.

"Can you believe that bitch!?" Faith says slamming the dressing room door shut. "I can't believe you just called her a bitch on live TV" I chuckle slightly under my breath. "This is why I hate doing interviews. Their nothing but nosey people that don't give a fuck and just care about ratings. How you can sit there and be so chilled is beyond me" she shrugs. "I'm kinda used to doing interviews"

"Well I'm not"

"You've been doing interviews since your were like six. How can you not be used to it?" I ask confused. "Maybe I'm not supposed to be famous" she shrugs. "Baby, I don't like doing interviews or having any of the media prying in my buisness either, but what helps me is knowing that I have people out there that look up to me just like they do you and even though it's hard having that responsibility, it's also an amazing feeling knowing that you have a platform to reach out to people and spread your message and help people. I know you didn't asks for any of this and neither did I, but this is the life God gave us. He gave us a platform which alot people don't have and we can do so much good with that and spread our message to people everywhere" I say softly.

"But what if you don't have a message?" She mumbles "what do you mean?" I frown confused. "You have a message and you use your platform to spread that and your here because of your talent and you worked hard and you deserve to be regogised for all the good you've done, but I don't. I'm just... here" she shrugs. "Your famous because you deserve to be and have an amazing talent, but what about me? I'm famous for just being born not for any kind of actual talent. I'm nothing special" she mutters and I pull her in close to me. "Baby, you have no idea how amazing and special you are and as for talent, your an amazing singer and maybe singing isn't your passion, but your still young and you may not have found yourself or your calling in life yet, but that doesn't mean you won't"

"But how will I know?"

"Trust me. When you find it, you'll know" I smile and kiss her softly.

I'm not sure where all that just came from, but I can understand Faith feeling like she doesn't deserve the life she has and at one point I felt the same, like I was forced into this life, but the older I got the more it became clear to me that God gave me this life and this talent for a reason and I know that someday Faith will find herself too.

Faith's POV

"You came!" My mom sighs in relief, rushing over to me. "Well you've been bugging the hell out of everybody to get me to come here" I shrug. "Because I need to warn you and to tell you that you need to stay away from Emily. She's dangerous! Michael and Jackie told you that right?"

"Yes, and just like me they know the whole thing is bullshit"

"Faith, I swear to you I'm telling you the truth! I never did anything to Danny, it was her! And she's the one that gave you those scars. She crazy and..."

"If she's this crazy baby murder then why would you allow her near me when I was a baby?" I shrug. "Because I was young and I genuinely believed she was better and when i realised she wasnt and she was hurting you I  quickly got you away from her. I'd never intentionally put you in any kind of danger. Your my daughter and I love you and I would do anything to keep you safe. You and Precious. I love you both and..."

"You seriously expect me to believe that?" I scoff. "Michael told me about that little deal you tried to make with him. We get you out of here and you'll drop  the custody case"

"And I will I swear!"

"It doesn't matter even if you don't drop the case because no judge in their right mind would make us hand over our daughter to a woman that's in jail for murdering her first born and you don't love her and you never have"

"That's not true" she shakes her head "you were willing to pretty much sell her to Michael and I then changed your mind when we stopped giving you money and then you want her back and now your just gonna let her go and let us have her?"

"If that's what it takes to keep you away from Emily. I'll do what ever it takes and if giving Precious up is what it takes to keep you both safe then i'll do it and..."

"Until you get out and then you'll change your mind again" I cut her off. "I know what your doing and it's not gonna work. Precious is our and we're not giving her up to you or anybody and we're not gonna help you get out of here either. I don't believe for a second that messed up story about my grandma either"

"It's not a story it's true!"

"Oh please! If you gave a shit about me or Precious then you wouldn't have tried to sell her and you wouldn't have dragged me through the media the way you did"

"I know I've done some messed up things in the past but what happened to Danny wasn't down to me. Yes I brought you up in the media. Because I thought I was doing the right thing and giving you the best of everything"

"No. All you cared about was yourself. You just wanted the fame and the money. You never give a shit about me!" I frown "and if you really wanna do what's best for me and Precious then you'd stay the hell away from us" I snap and get up to leave. "Faith, please! You have to believe me! Emily is unstable and she's dangerous  You have to stay away from her! Not just for your safety, but for Precious and Michael's too and..."

"Yeah, sure she is" I roll my eyes. "I've met her and I speak with her on the phone all the time and she seems perfectly fine to me" I shrug "but she's not! She's..."

"I'm done here" I cut her off. "This was just a complete waste of time. Your nothing but a lier and a sick twisted bitch for what you did to Danny. Now stay the hell away from me and stay away from my family!" I snap and storm out, not giving her the chance to say anymore.

Michael's POV

I haven't gotten much work done at the studio today because I have Precious with me, but it's still been fun having her with me most of the day. Faith always says it doesn't bother her and she understands that my work takes up alot of my time and I believe her about the understanding part, but I don't believe the part about it not bothering her.

She's at home all day taking care of a baby and pretty soon she'll have Precious and a new born and even though my job is difficult and takes up alot of time. I know being a full time mother is hard too and probably harder since with my job I can take time off when ever I feel like it, but being a parent isn't something you can just take the day off from. I do make sure I help Faith as much as possible and make sure I always make time for them, but I still feel bad when I'm not there all day and feel like I'm just leaving her to take care of everything by her self.

"Look who's here!" Quincy says bringing me from my thoughts and I turn around and smile as Faith walks into the room. "Hey! Your back already?" I smile an peck her lips and head towards the dressing room with her an Precious so we can talk privately.

"So how do it go?"

"As expected" she shrugs. "Are you ok?"

"Mhm" she nods. "What did she say?"

"Pretty much the same as she told you and my dad" she shrugs. "Do you think she could be telling the truth about any of it?" I ask and she shakes her head. "None of what she says makes any sense. She says one thing and then when you ask for details she always uses the excuse that she was young and naive. I don't know what happened between her and my grandma, but we've met her and she's nothing like how my mom is describing her"

"Have you asked your grandma?"

"She says that the two of them lost contact after my mom made up a buch of lies about her had her put away and when ever she talks about what she was like when she was younger, she breaks down and starts blaming herself for how my mom turned out and blames herself for not being a good mother to her"

"It's not her fault how Julie turned out. Look at me and my siblings. My parents raised us all the same and everyone of us has different personalities because that's just who we are"

"Speaking of knowing who we are. My grandma called me on the way over here and we had a really good talk and I realised why I always feel in like I'm missing something and can't seem to find my passion and what I want to do in life. It's because I don't really know ME"

"How do you mean?" I frown confused. "Growing up it was always just me and my mom and I never knew anyone from my family from my mom's or my dad's. I didn't even know I was mixed raced until I was 17 for God's sake! I always thought I just had a really good year round tan" she chuckles slightly. "Meeting you and the rest of my dad's family helped, but now my grandma's in my life I can find out more about my family on her side and in a way, find out more about me" she smiles "I guess that would make sense"

"I'm going to see her in a few days and she said she'll tell me more about the others" she smiles.

It really upset me earlier when Faith was saying that she didn't deserve to be in the spot light and felt like she didn't have any passion. She does desreve to be where she is and she does have a passion. She just hasn't found that yet and it makes sense now why she feels the way she does. I've always known who I am and where I come from, but Faith spent 17 years not knowing a thing about where she came from.

Me and my family have been able to help on our side and I really hope that having her grandma in her life will help Faith find herself.
