Kehlani sat on a bench at a park, watching mothers play with their kids. Kehlani always wanted to be a mother. In hopes of becoming a better mother than her own. At the age of fourteen, her mother was sprung out on drugs and liquor. Her mom would sell every piece of furniture they had to make enough money to buy drugs and liquor. Kehlani never knew her father because her mother would be with a different guy every night. And what came out of that was her. Going to school, she would be embarrassed. Kids would pick and tease at her because of her mother and that any man walking, could be her father. As she grew up and more mature, eighteen year old Kehlani learned to drive and passed her drivers exam. She even got her a job at Target. Every Friday, she makes 124$, which she hides from her mother so she wouldn't spend it on drugs. That's were she met Artist. It was like love at first sight for her. She would watch his every move, the way he talks. Even the way he breathes. She was shy to talk to him until he started talking to her. From that point on, she knew that they would make great friends. Even more, probably. Everyday when Kehlani came home from work, her mothers new boyfriend, Charles would give her seductive looks. Kehlani knew to stay away from him. But it was hard for him to stay away from her. Being that Kehlani had almost a body shape like Nicki Minaj, Charles grew sexually attracted to her and wanted nothing but a quick nut. She even told her mother that Charles would give her sexual looks but she always ignore her and tell her that Charles is nothing but a caring man. But Charles was far from caring. He's only with Kehlani mom for money, drugs, and to have a piece of Kehlani. And soon enough, Charles got what he wanted and beat her mother almost to death. Leaving them with no money for food. He stoled Kehlani's money she been saving up. Even the car she brought. And without a trace, he was gone. Kehlani was left with nothing.
