~~~~Mariah's POV~~~~
"Mariah, get your ass in here!! Hurry up!!!" I heard my father yell. I sighed as I pulled my wet hair into a loose bun on top of my head, then I placed my robe on my wet body and rushed my way downstairs.
"Daddy, what's wrong no- oh.....hey, baby." I said. My boyfriend, Noah, was standing in the living room with our 13 month old daughter in his arms, so I smiled and went over to get Marisol - our daughter - from him. (A/N: Marisol is right below; Mariah and 'Noah' [who is played by some random guy she took a picture with once] is above in the MM)

"Mariah, I've told you that I don't like this boy or this brat here!" my father frowned, making me sigh.
"Daddy, Mari's my daughter.....I can't just not take care of her."
"Babe, I'm heading on to work....can I change into my uniform tho?" Noah said to me, completely ignoring my father. My father was.....aggressive, and he was also.....very fond of me being at home with him. My father put me through a living hell, but I was all he had and he was all I had of my family.
"Uhm, yeah....you know where the bathroom is." I responded and Noah made his way up there.
"Mariah, I don't like that boy! You know I don't like him in my damn house.....he's knocked you up and gave you a baby at 17, and he's always talking about wanting to marry you. I ain't letting him do that.....you need to stay and take care of your daddy." Daddy said.
"Daddy, if I marry Noah it doesn't mean that I'll never be wi-"
"I don't care! You're never marrying him because you belong to me!" Daddy interrupted me. He got out of the chair and approached me, and I instinctively tensed up as he did so.
"You know, you look like your mama.....just so pretty. Daddy wouldn't like it if you left me for that boy in there, you know that." he breathed in my neck. He stood close behind me, snaking his arms around my waist while I clutched on tighter to Marisol.
