Tiana's P.O.V

I cried the whole way home from school. I couldn't go to the restaurant because it wasn't opened. My mom would be home because it was her day off.

"Mom we need to talk." I said in between sobs as I stepped through the door.

"Sweetie, why are you crying? What happened?" She asked.

I didn't want to tell her yet it might ruin her heart but I had to, it was her husband.

"Dad was in a car accident while I was at school. They called me and said that he didn't make it. So, I skipped the rest class." I told her. She took a grasp of my hand and held it tight.

"No, he's not dead. He's still alive." She was in denial. In a couple of hours she's going to be depressed.

"Yes mom he's dead. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go open the restaurant. Or we'll have some angry customers."

"Welcome guys come in. Naveen, Charlotte, and Louis can I see you in the kitchen?" I asked them.

"Does anyone need help?" A voice said. I turned around and saw Mama Odie.

"Mama Odie, I need you in the kitchen too." I said.
