"Layla, wake up" I heard someone whisper.

I open my eyes and quickly sit up, Jess was waking us up.

I stayed up last night finishing my chores. Because we have to finish chores before going to sleep.

Everyone went to sleep early and I went to sleep an hour ago.

I look out the window, it was still dark out because its like four in the morning.

"Come" she says softly, I whine and she picks me up, I'm really light. Tara and Haley went to the bathroom and sat outside the door because Farah was in there.

"I'm sleepy" I say noticing Tara has Mandy.

"Go back to sleep" she says and I close my eyes.

•3 Hours Later•

I helped Jess get Arron ready for school, Mandy is not allowed to go to daycare.

She's going to be leaving soon because Jordan coming to get her. I don't want her to have a life like me. "Do you want to black or the white, sir" I ask grabbing the shirts.

He grabs the black and Jess frowns and helps him put it on. "You can go get Mandy stuff packed up" Jess sighed.

I nodded and walked out the room to Faith room.

I see Jay on the bed, Faith is at work.

Jay is leaving to go to work later.

I grab a bag from under my bed, it was Mandy stuff.

I open the bag and started fixing things. "Are you happy to leave with Jordan" I smile.

"Yeah" she clapped hugging her teddy bear.

"You know mommy not coming" I ask.

"I go miss you mama" she says.

"I'm going to miss you too baby girl. Promise you will be good for papa" I say.

"I be good" she smiles. I like her forehead as I finish folding it up.

"I love you" I said.

"I love you too mama" she said.

Tara smiles at her and a tear fell. She pulls me into a hug "Its best for her" she whispers.

I cry "I know, I'm going to miss her" I said.

"We all are " she hugs me tight.

"Mama cry" Mandy asks crawling to me.

"Yes, mama going to miss you" she says.

"Don't cry mama" she says wiping my tears.

I smile "It's hard" I says softly.

After a while, I was playing with Mandy and the door bell rang.

Jess went to go take Arron to school "Bring her" Jay yelled.

"Papa here" I smile.

Mandy smiles and I help her put the backpack on her back.

She grabs my hand and we go downstairs.

Jordan stood there about to cry "Papa" Mandy yelled and ran to her. Jordan bend down and picked her up.

Jordan cried, "I missed you" she says.

"Me too" Mandy says.

Jordan looks at me and I smile, she looks at Jay and she nods.

Jordan walks over to me and I jump in her arms. "My baby" she whispers.

"I love you too" I cry.
