"Thanks for the time baby but I gotta go make a few drops" I kissed Delilah's neck before heading out the room.

"I h-hate you Raheem" she mumbled. I shrugged, not really caring.

I walked out the apartment and ran down the steps. I saw her family bringing her niece. I looked down, trying not to get noticed.

"Wassup Raheem" her brother smiled, waving. I nodded and began running to the bus stop.

I'm about to get fucking caught! I ran faster, passing up the bus stop to Jade's apartment building.

I haven't heard from her in days, so I decided to hideout here.

"JADE" I banged on the door rapidly. An old lady opened the door.

"Ain't no Jade here stupid" she slammed the door in my face.

Where the hell am I supposed to go?

Delilah Leian Moore

"I don't wanna be pregnant. I don't wanna be pregnant. I don't wanna be preg-" I mumbled over and over to myself until I heard my daddy yelling.

"THE HELL IS ALL THIS?! DELILAH LEIAN MOORE WHERE YA ASS AT?!" was all I heard echoing through the apartment.

"Daddy" I breathed out before crying to myself.

David ran into the room and balled up his fist.

"Raheem did this huh?" he asked. I decided to stay quiet. I was already ashamed. This was my second time getting raped.

My mama and daddy marched into the room with hardened expressions until they saw me.

I was hunched over in fetal position with my head turned to the side a little. Just to see who would come in and out the room.

"Babygirl you okay?" my daddy said walking to me slowly. I started crying hysterically.

"Raheem raped me daddy" I sniffed. My mom automatically started packing Marlie and I's clothes.

"We'll come back for the room decor and crib stuff okay?" she looked at me. I simply nodded.

"When we get home, you'll get a nice warm bath and we're changing your number tomorrow morning" daddy explained as he wrapped me into the biggest and fluffiest blanket in my room.

"Pressing charges?"

I shook my head no. That will just make everything worse for me. I need to call Aden. He'll comfort me.

"How was Lele" I said peeping into the carseat.

"Spoiled as hell but good" David held me.

"You too heavy for this bruh bruh"

"Shut yo light bulb colored ass up fam"

"....we all the same color Delilah. You so dumb" David chuckled.

"I look sexier though" I shrugged. Joking with David ole beige ass broom always made me feel better.

We all made sure everything that we can fit in the bags were secure then left.

They really care for me...

Aden Darnell Richardson

"How you feel about Delilah?" Bryce asked as he got all in my face. I scrunched up my face. Ole hot breath ass.

"She coo. I gotta get ta' know her betta'" I said, moving my face away.

Delilah is a pretty young girl. We only three years apart so don't nobody start saying shit like how Ima go ta' behind ha' ass.

Actin' like I look forward to marrying ha' once she reach eighteen ima ass. We got a few years to think 'bout that shit.

"I like her eyes" Kaylin mumbled. She was sprawled out all on my cousin bruh. Her nasty ass feet all on his shoulders.

"Y'all weird bruh but I gotta go ta' tha corner store right quick" I said, getting up.

"Bring me back some swishers fam" Bryce smiled. I shook my head.

"You got swisher money?"

He threw a ten dolla' bill at me.

"Run along peasent" Kaylin smiled.

"Shut yo crackhead Maleficent lookin' ass up" I walked out tha house.

I'm not gonna say anything, but I know Kaylin fucking with tha sheriff. I heard and saw at tha police station when I was goin' ta' the bathroom.

She knows that I know, hell even Kason knows. Everytime she tries to roast me or him, we exchange glances. That shut her ass down real quick.

Bryce my cousin, so that makes matters worse. I'm real tempted to tell him. The whole police station know about Callahan's affair with Kaylin. Now, that's just nasty.

How you gonna let a 16 1/2 just fuck y'all married boss? He got eight kids fam. I hope she get pregnant by him. Have ha' ass pregnant by a 64-year-old man.

I walked in the ghetto Chinese corner store. The owner is my mama's best friend's husband so he know the hookup.

"Aye Cheif wassup" I smiled at the cashier. He threw his hands up and jumped his short ass over the counter.

"Adannnn! How are you doing!" he smiled, patting my arms. He always pronounced my name funny.

"Chillin'. I'm gonna need three packs of those grape flava' swishers" I said as I grabbed a bag of Takis and skittles.

"Your motha' does not like when I give you swishas! Why you ask!" he rambled. I smacked my lips.

His scary ass need ta' use his samurai sword like nigga the fuck you scared for? Karate chop ha' ass, do sum.

"They fa' my cousin Bryce, Cheif calm ya ass down" I mumbled. I slid the ten dollars on the counter as he rang up everything.

"If I get in trouble that is ya ass Adan" he shook his head.

He put everything in the plastic bag.

"I gotchu fam, three hunnid bang bang. We good like gucci fried chicken--"

"Get out Adan"

"Yes Master" I ran out the store before he could throw his bamboo stick at me. I loves messing with him.

This was just a little something something. Y'all got to know about baby zaddy Aden aka "Adannn". These are just fillers. I plan to make longer chapters. But, I be muthafuckin tied.
