::August::

Today was the day that I was gone bring my daughter to meet tyla. I think its a good idea , since tyla is my girlfriend. I knocked on jordan's door. Jordan is my babymama and I can't stand her ass. "What you want august ?" She asked with an attitude. "Fuck on with allat . Where my daughter at ?" I asked irriated. "Kayla ! Yo daddy here." She yelled as kayla ran to me and I picked her up. "Chill with allat damn yelling . Thats why she be so fucking scared now." I said as she smacked her lips. "She need to be scared. Don't have no lil bitches around my daughter." She said. I just ignored her and got in the car. "You hungry baby?" I asked and she shook her head yes. Kayla was real quiet all the time. She never cried , she was just chill. "What's wrong ?" I asked. "Nothing . I want some nuggets." She said in her soft little voice. I chuckled. "You gone turn into a nugget." I said and she giggled. "Alright . Nuggets it is ." I said and pulled off.

::Tyla::

I was watching tv when there was a knock on the door. I got up and oped it. There stood august and a cute little girl. I stepped aside and let him in as he kissed my cheek. "Hey baby." He said. "Hey . And who is this pretty little girl ?" I asked. "This my daughter." He said. She was sooo cute . I bent down to her level. "What's your name cutie ?" I asked as she smiled. "Kaywa." She said in her cute little voice. "That's really pretty. You want some cookies kayla ?" I asked. "Yeah !" She was soo cute . Her and august followed me into the kitchen. "Already spoiling her. " He said and I smiled. "So ?" I said . "Man whatever." He chuckled as I handed her cookies. "How old is she ?" I asked "Two." He said. "You had a baby when you was a sophmore ?" I asked curiously. "Yeah . We was young then , but I can't stand her now." He said sternly. "Oh ." I said looking at kayla. "You seem amazed at the fact that I have a daughter." He said walking over to me. "Yeah. She's beautiful." I said. "Just like you ." He said kissing my forehead. She started rubbing her eyes and I picked her up and sat her on the couch.

"mama said , your a pretty girl. what's in your head , its doesn't matter. what you wear, is all that matters. just another phase , pagent the pain away. this time i'm gonna take the crown , with out falling down , down , down. pretty hurts , shine a light on whatevers worth . Perfection is a disease of a nation , pretty hurts , pretty hurts." I sang to her softly as she fell asleep.

August got up and layed her down in. My bed ."You good at this stuff huh ?" He asked walking back down stairs. "My sister use to sing that to me all the time to put me to sleep." I answered. "Ohh. Well what you wanna do ?" He asked and I shrugged. "We can watch movies." I answered. "Oooo . I wanna watch love & basketball." He said looking through movies before putting it in and sitting next to me with his arm around me. "What you wanna do after graduation ?" I asked. "I wanna move to atlanta and persue my singing career. What about you ?" He asked. "I wanna sing. That's all , I wanna make hits and I want two kids. I wanna be the best mom to them ever." I said. "I think we can make that happen. We could be partners." He said playing with my hands causing me to smile. "Yeah. We can ." I said and fell asleep in his arms.

::Next day::

Today was graduation day and we were all sitting there waiting to be called. "August Anthony Alsina." the lady called. as he walked up to the stand to get his diploma."I just wanna thank my friends , my girl , mr.wilson (chorus teacher) , and most of all my mom. Thank yall." he said and walked off. "Tyla Marie Johnson." They said as I got up to get my diploma. I was soo proud of myself. Time to party though .

::Party::

Everybody was having a good time. All of alex's family was there. I didn't really know if I was related to them. "Ty I have a surprise for you ." Uncle kevin said as I followed him to these people that looked so familiar. The lady got up and hugged me , I was so confused. "These are your parents , natasha and keith." He said and I froze. How do they think they can just come back after 15 years. Tears started to fall instantly. "You think this is a surprise ? It's been 15 years and now you wanna show up ? I didn't need you then and I sure as hell don't need you now." I said as tears continued to fall. "Baby . We did what we had to do. We were young , we couldn't take care of two kids." Keith said. "That's not something you just decided !" I yelled causing everybody to get quiet. "You left tayla to take care of me. How do you let a fucking 16 year old take care of a 3 year old ?! You took away her childhood. I bet you didn't even know she died a month ago huh ? You know , I told myself that I would always be a better parent to my kids than you two ever were." I said and ran inside to my room . I sat at the piano and sang a song.

"Though I'm missing you , I'll find a way to get through. Living with out you, cause you were my sister , my strength , and my pride . Only god may know why , still I will get better . Who would've known , that you'd have to go , so suddenly so fast. How could it be that a sweet memory would be all , all that we have left ? Now that you're gone , everyday I go on , but life's just not the same. Im so empty inside and my tears I can't hide , but I'll try , I'll try to face the pain . Though I'm missing you , I'll find a way to get through. Living with out you, cause you were my sister , my strength , and my pride. Only god may know why , still I will get better." I sang and the tears fell.

I sat there for a moment before I herd a voice. "That was a beautiful song." I turned to see august. I sighed. "Baby you can't shut them out , they're still your parents." He said sitting next to me. "It's not fair . Why'd they have to do us like that though. They could've at least came back sooner than that." I said wiping my tears. "Ty . I would kill to have my dad , you need to make it right." He said kissing my forehead before getting up. I talked to them . We're not on the best of terms but I forgave them . It's good to have parents.
