I fight to keep my eyes open. I was tired I wanted to go home. My body felt weak, I feared for my baby with how much they was drugging me. Even though I just found out. I don't want my baby to pass like this.

He walks around the room pulling out a ciragette from his pockets as he lights it up and smoke. Syair eyes locked on me making my heart beat and butterflies erupt in my stomach. I haven't seen his face since the day I left. He looked tired.

Bags under his eyes, his skin wasn't as glowy and shiny how it used to be. He looked dull.

Amir across the room the bodyguard holding him back. They was both way bigger than them. There muscles straining in there shirt.

They was buff.

Aria...my baby aria. She was probably so worried about me. I didn't get to even text her back and tell her I made it. She looks at me mouthing words to me but I couldn't quite sound them out. I still had some of the drugs processing through my system.

The dude that I cut held her as he eyed boss while he walked around the room glancing at me every now and then.

He scared me. His eyes big and dark. His thick lashes brought the shape of his eyes out more. They were more round. A few tattoos on his face. He was lightskin more on the red side. His hair was about shoulder length—dreads. I didn't really get to look at him the night at my house. I was so focus on getting away.

He also was the one that ended up cleaning my throw up. He didn't say much to me, I'm assuming he's still mad about me slicing him like some cheese.

After he's done smoking his cigarette he pulls up a chair between me and Syair mom. His legs spread as he sat back in his seat.

Admiring the gun in his hand. "Don't look at floor..look at me." Placing gun up under her chin forcing her to look up. I feel his eyes burning through the side of my face.

He grips my chin roughing turning my head to him. "Stop touching me" I pull back. He puts the gun up to my mouth. "That mouth of yours..." he gently tapped it against my lips. "Will get you killed. Like I said before, watch how you talk to me" He scowled.

"You changed a lot" veah said sounding more like a whisper.

"I changed? You really wanna go there with me Neveah?" He furrow his eyebrows. "Ain't you still keeping secrets from yo son? Seem to me you the one that haven't changed..don't got to courage to give yo son the truth" he chuckled.

"What is he talking bout momma?" Syair asked. She was silent. Speechless. She had no words to say to him.

"Don't ignoring him..tell your son why he had to take beatings after beatings"

~SYAIR~

His eyes on me while he said this. My mother eyes starts feeling up with tears as he says these things to her.
