Bishop's angel

chapter I

~14 years ago~

She watched as the man she's known as her lover for the last six months pulled on his kutte for the last time. Finally, as he made his way towards the door she spoke up "Since I'm leaving permanently, I think I should be able to know your name." He turned and looked at her, he then leaned on the door way and answered "Obispo Losa." He then turned and walked away.

The next morning, she put the last of boxes in the back of her car, and left Vickie's for good. She knew of her pregnancy, but she also knew what the father of her child did for work. But what she didn't know was that she had cancer.

''''present''''

I sat next to my mother's hospital bed as the doctor pulled out the last IV, to shocked to cry or scream. I knew this day was coming, but she told me she still had time I wasn't ready... I didn't say good bye. The doctor tapping me on my shoulder shook me out of my own head, "I'm sorry before she passed, she asked me to give you this." He said as handing me a letter. He then rubbed my shoulder and walked away. I knew my mother wanted to be cremated and the hospital was going to handle it and just add it to her extensive bills, so I go up and started walking home. I walked the stairs to the rundown apartment, as I opened the door to the studio apartment, I heard neighbors to my left arguing, and the ones to my right were playing music enough to shake the walls two floors down. I went and sat on my bed which doubled as a couch and opened my mother's letter.

Hi baby, if your reading this sadly I have passed on. And I know your worried, about what you will do at thirteen years old with no family, but I have that handled. In the envelope there is a plane ticket to a small airport just outside of Santa Padre, California. Once you land there will be a woman named Vickie, she was like a sister to me. She will take you in and help you get settled into your new home. Once your ready ask her to set up a meeting between you and a man named Obispo losa. He is your father. Please don't be angry with him, I separated you from him, and he doesn't know about you. Try not to outsmart him, even though it will be easy for you. I love you princess, and you make me so proud, I hope you find love and happiness. I will miss you goodbye my love.

Looking at the plane ticket my fight is in two days, unable to think about anything except meeting my father, and if he'll accept me. I fall back and let darkness consume me.
