Stay with Me (A Roc Royal Lovestory)

Te Amo :Still Mean It:

Setting: ??

Time: Who cares. I haven't seen sunlight in months

Imani's Pov

"Imani get up" I stayed still until I got kicked in the stomach. I groaned and rolled into a fetus position. "Wake up"

"Leave me alone Hakiem!" Yups you read right. Lil Hakiem from the park is my pimp...not my fault but...yeaah.

"Last time asking-"

"You never 'asked' a first time" I said putting the covers over my head. I heard a gun click by my ear and I groaned. "Go the hell away mayne" I screamed still under the covers.

He sighed and sat beside me. "Imani...."

"What"

"You are the only person I know who screams at a person with a gun pointed at their head....thats the dumbest thing I've ever saw and its gonna get you killed one day. Not by me or anything just...other people do that." He said laying on my stomach.

"Get o-"

"Mommy I got a boo boo"

I mentally stabbed myself 50 times then got up. "Okay baby girl. Give me a second" I went to the bathroom and went to do my morning routine. Brush my teeth, shower, hair, clothes, and then the hardest part- The cover make up. I never let my baby girl see a bruise or cut even if its tiny I cover it up. She doesn't even know that he hits me which is great in my book.

"Missed one" Hakiem said reaching around me to get the foundation. He pulled my hair up and covered a bruise- not a hickey- a bruise on my neck. He put my hair back down and fixed it. If you're wondering my daughter's name is Rapunzel....just kidding its Janai (Ja- ni) Maliya August. Yeah.....another August baby. I miss Juani but I know I left for a good reason. Who knows what could have happened if I stayed.....I can't think like that. Anyway Janai is 4 but she just turned 4 two weeks ago. Hakiem went all out for her birthday. Like really bought her a pony and everythang. I had fun and I know Janai did too. I feel bad that I've been here watching Janai growing up but I haven't seen Juani since she was like 2 months old. I guess she's be 5 next month....D_mn I should be there with them...her and Chres but Hakiem...he would kill me if he could hear my thoughts about him. He hates when I say his name. He even tried to make me change Lanai's last name. I said no because he was her father but his argument was that he didn't know her and that he raised her not Chres..which was true but it wasn't his fault.

See what had happened was the night before I left Hakiem called me to come over which I did. I was already feeling weird but I was also sick with the stomach flu so I didn't pay it no mind. Anywho I went and then he started talking about something that I wasn't listening to then he through a box at me and I thought he was just being a lil p*ssy because I wasn't listening to him run his mouth but when he pulled my hair and made me look up I saw it was a box of pregnancy test.

*Flashback:*

"What's this?" I asked picking up the box.

"A pregnancy test. Go take it"

"Why?"

"Beacuse I think your pregnant"

"And I think your crazy"

"Just take one....please?" He said begging.

"Fine but I'm not-"

8 mins later

"P-p-prgnant..I'm pregnant. I just had a baby though"

"Calm down...its probably mine anyway"

"No its not!" I said getting defensive. "I gotta go" I said getting my purse.

"Sit."

"No. I'm leaving" I said walking to the door but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Stay the night"

"No. I'm going home"

"Aye don't be like that now just because I won't hit you"

"I don't care. I wanna go home" I said crying and getting out his grip. I stole his car and drove back home, where once again, Craig let me in and asked 50 million questions that I ignored. I went up to me and Chres's room and jumped on him until he woke up.

"Whats up..what time is it?"

"F*ck meeeeee" I groaned loudly and he looked at me like I was crazy. "Did I stutter? Lets go go goooo" I said throwing clothes to the other side of the room. He rubbed his eyes and started took off his boxers anddd......what! Yall don't need ta know the rest. Lets just say it was some 'baby making' love..like if I wasn't already preggo...I'd be after that.

Next morning

The boys all went out playing basketball and I stayed in bed watching Spongebob with Juani. Hakiem was blowing up my phone like crazy but I ignored it. Juani started getting fussy and I thought she was hungry. I did not feel like going downstairs but my tah tahs already hurt so I just went downstairs to get her a bottle. Hakiem called again and I answered thinking it would make him stop calling.

"What!"

"Pack your sh*t"

"What?"

"Your coming with me"

"Huh?"

"Tell you lik boyfriend your leaving"

"No. I love him I'm not going anywhere"

"I don't care"

"We have a child"

"I don't give a f*ck bout her. That ain't my child. I care about you...I want you and I get what I want"

"I care about her and thats all that matters"

"If you care about her you'll be packed when I get there"

"Shut the hell up you're not gonna touch my child!"

"Try me then"

"I'm not leaving she needs a mother"

"She won't need anybody if she's dead"

"........Go. To. Hell"

"Yea whatever go pack I'll be there in 10 mins be ready...I got my lil friend here trying to figure out who to shoot first"

I hung up just as the door opened and the boys came in.

*flashback over*

The first few weeks were terrible. I missed Chres I missed Juani I missed Ray I even missed Walter. I wonder if they still live in the same house together...probably not they grown somewhere starting a family. I haven't heard anything from MB since last year but that may be because Hakiem hates me listening to them and every time he catches me he beats me.

We live in Dallas, Texes but before we moved here we lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, before that in Miami, Florida and before that -when we first left LA- we lived in Barcelona.

When we first got to Barcelona I was a wreck. I hated life, even though Hakiem tried his best to make me feel better I wanted Chres and Juani, I still do. About a month later I started to feel a little better and I went outside more and Barcelona ended up being lots of fun.

Then we moved to Miami where I was getting in Hakiem's last nerve with my hormonal issues. The good thing about Miami is that I saw Chres and Juani. They didn't see me,,, well Chres did..but I think he thought he was crazy so he didn't run to me or anything. I turned and pretended to be like everyone else and he shook his head and went back to the beach. Of course that was the reason we moved AGAIN to New Orleans where Janai was born. Hakiem is a great father I can't lie but Chres is better. Regardless of all that has happened and how long its been I meant what I said, I'd be back and I'll see my baby again...both of them.

"Mommy are you gonna help with my boo boo?"

"Uh yea I'm coming" I said running to her room.
