I woke up the next morning in pain then checked the time: 6:45 am. I rushed out of the bed and into the bathroom, showered and brushed my teeth. A beep sounded outside my window and I pushed through my rack of clothes and pulled out my timberlands and army green jogger and white shirt. I jumped onto the bed and realized it was 7:02 am so I ran down stairs only to be blocked by my father.

Dad: Where are you going?
Me: Hakeem came to pick me up, he said it was an emergency.
Dad: Be back by 7.

I nodded and rushed out the door.

Hakeem: You're late.
Me: Dad was interrogating me.
Hakeem: Don't let it happen again.
Me: Y-yes sir.
Hakeem: That's better.

I just looked out the window and huffed. He pulled my chin as we drove out the driveway.

Hakeem: Where's my kiss?
Me: In the trash.
Hakeem: Are you getting smart lil girl.

I rolled my eyes and looked away. He slapped me and my head hit the window. I gasped and hold my cheek as we pulled into Lyon Dynasty.

Hakeem: Get out.
Me: No.

He opened the door and pushed me out and I landed on my hands. He chuckled and got out.

Hakeem: Should've listened.
Me: Fuck you Hakeem.
Hakeem: Already did.

He dragged me into the studio and pushed me onto the sofa. His girl group walked in and the lead singer waved at him. But he looked towards me and motioned for me to follow him.

Girl: Hey Hakeem.
Hakeem: What Lauren?
Lauren: Are we rehearsing or not?
Hakeem: Yeah just give me a minute.

She nods and walked off quickly.

Me: So you hit her too?

He turns around and backhand me.

Hakeem: Get yo ass up and behave.

I quickly get up and follow him to the recording area.

Lauren: So we wrote-
Hakeem: You wrote without me?
Lauren: You weren't here so...
Hakeem: You could've called.
Lauren: Is it ok if we let you hear it?

Hakeem nodded and sat down then pulled me onto his lap causing me to wince.

Lauren: Is she ok?
Hakeem: She blessed now do your job.

She nodded and then began to sing. Hakeem leans into my ear.

Hakeem: You coming by tonight.
Me: I have to be home by 7.
Hakeem: Well we'll get some clothes from there then go to mines.

I nodded and fell asleep.
