"Layla do you understand me?" My mom said after rubbing the blood away from arm where the needle had went in.

"Yes mom."

"Do you love him?" She asked about lontrell

" I don't know." I told her honestly.

"Do he love you?"

"I don't know."

"Well have a heart to heart with him. He is in room 06." She smiled at me. Dad made me sleep in the car until mom let me out and got me a plan b. So here i am taking a birthcontrol shot. I got up going to the room . When i got there i pushed the door. Miss gladys was there and some others.

"Hello" i said lowly.

"YOU SEE WHAT YOU MADE HAPPEN I BEEN TOLD POOH NOT TO FUCK WITH YA ASS." Miss gladys screamed at me.

"Good morning visitation is over." My mom came in and told them sternly.

"You lucky li girl." Miss gladys pointed in my face. When they all left i look at lontrell with a tube in his arm. His face was fucked up.

"Hi trell." I said to him. He turnt to me and mean mugged me.

"I get it if you donot want to talk to me but i jus want to say am sorry ok. I never ment for it to happen like that."

"Pass me my water." I got him the water and opened it.

"Feed it to me." I fed it to him rubbing his waves lightly. He finished drinking it and i wiped his mouth.

"I heard ya pussy ass daddy got transfered to The A to be sheriff or whatever."

"Yea and my mama is ok with us now."

"Us?? Who said it was an us layla?"

"I think amma hold off of you from now on. You deserve better." Am i hearing right? What the fuck is going on with lontrell. I should of let my dad end his ass.

"Yea thats cool. Well amma leave out because i got to go to my college orientation."

"What college you attending??"

"Med school.amma be A paramedic."

"Good luck." I smiled and left out the room. I felt empty,broken and hurt. Was it sex? Is that all he wanted? Or is it because my daddy jumped him? I thought we were good?

"What happened baby?"my mom said. Thats when i broke down in her arms.

"Ssshhhh.don't cry hun don't cry.just breathe." She clocked out and she drove me to chick fil a and let me eat my pain away.

"He loves you layla i know he do but he aint come around yet. Me and your dad was like that."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I was like new new from ATL and he was rashad. Your auntie kathy used to mess with a boy from the hood and one night she took me down there. I met your father and faked it all so he could love me,then he found out the truth. He accepted me but my parents never did. That's the reason why you never see my parents coming around."

"Did dad ever hurt you?"

"A billion times. He,stayed in streets dealing with nico's dad,denied his feelings for me countless times and other stuff."

"Why you stayed?"

"I saw the good in him and i loved him. So i pushed until i better him as a person."

"Ohh."

"Do you see the good in lontrell?"

"Yes.A whole lot."

"Oh.lets go home,these people smelly." She put on her disgust face.

"Your so boujee." I told her getting up laughing.

"How is that supposed to make me feel better."

"Layla." Mom said sternly

"Yayyy.hippy hooray." I told her sacarstically.
