We arrived to naujor's house .
He quickly took my sister in his arms and through the doors .I grabbed alyric in my arms , holding him to my chest .
I remember those crystal on the phone , that was more than a hungry cry .
"The nurses are taking care of her right now " naujor said as he made his way back down the steps .
"Can you find a bottle and milk ?"
He nodded ."I'll do that , I'll go find some pintment too and a change of clothes everyone needs to change "
I nodded .

Hours went by everyone was calm now in a sense .They were holding the discussion of what'd took place there at the apartment .
"Tell me when your ready? "
Aliyah nodded taking a deep breathe ."Jeremy blew up my phone all morning , saying that he'd gotten out... but I told him that'd I'd want nothing to do with him , then he was quick to assume I was fucking on some other nigga "
"Aliyah" naujor said sternly .
"Sorry""Anyways , after assuming he told me he'd be coming over .. because he wanted to know if I was lying or not about being with someone else "
"I told him he couldn't come over, that I'd had company .. which was the baby "
"He blew up and disregarded everything of what'd I said , he came and everything started to go crazy , everything happened so fast I- I couldn't do anything " She stopped and shredded some tears.
"It's ok Lee, keep going "
She nodded."He started screaming and yelling asking who's baby I had had because it sure as heck wasn't his , I told him alyric wasn't mine , he didn't believe me and pushed me into a wall "
"He said that if I was going to have another baby it'd be his ... he started hurting me ... on my face , he through punches , and slapped me he threw me around like a rag doll ... he went on and on about how he'd kill me if I'd ever play with him again ... I had no idea what he meant ... alyric isn't even mines ... "
Tears rolled down ashanti's face as she looked at her sister .
"But that's never happening right ? You won't let him hurt me again nauni? "
"No Lee, I won't . I promise, ok ?"
Aliyah nodded wiping tears ." He scratched the baby with a pocket knife ... I cried and pried him off of alyric .. he'd done way worse than just hurting his face Ashanti... and I'm so sorry I was so scared and i-"
Naujor spoke up .
"Don't ever blame yourself . Understood ?"Aliyah nodded.
"Verbal answer ""Yes Sir, I'm sorry "
Naujor shook his head .
Whyd she keep apologizing she wasn't wrong."He hit me again and I fell back landing on my bottom, I scooted back but he grabbed my legs and picked me up throwing me on the bed , he said that if I'd had another baby it'd be his and he'd make sure that he got the say in the name , I told him he was crazy and that he needed to leave ... he pushed me back and went for my leggings , ripping them and making me spread my legs open so he could see my flower .. I tried to get away and out of his grip but he'd slap my thighs hard or even my flower , it hurted when he did it "
"He told me I looked beautiful, he'd never seen my flower before tonight , he said it was just right... tight and pink .. he said he'd liked tight flowers he touched me roughly all over ... but my flower got it worse "
