cydney.

It's been a month since Cydney has been in rehab.

She's been progressing slowly but that's better than nothing.

She gets visits from Lucas and Aiyanna daily.

Her mother comes by but it always leads to an argument between them so she's always escorted out.

Rodney still hasn't came by.

"Mrs.Christine you have a visitor, they're new."

"Wait a minute."

She laid her pencil down from her drawing and homework and made her bun neater.

She wondered who the new visitor could be.

"They can come in."

"Rakim..."

"I can leave if you want."

"No, sit down." She suggested.
I
He took a seat at her desk while she sat on the bed.

"How have you been?"

"Good." She mumbled.

It's been a while since she saw Rakim.

She was still upset for him calling her a bitch.

"I'm glad your getting help." He said sincerely.

When Aiyanna told Rakim about what Cydney did he went crazy.

He never even expected that from her.

"When do you get out of here?"

"Until graduation."

It got quiet between the two.

Rakim wanted to tell Cydney why all of this is happening.

But if he did he was afraid that Cydney would run her mouth or not believe him.

"Cydney when I tell you this please just hear me out."

"Okay."

"So... I use to sell drugs but I stopped until I was pulled back in by this man. But the man wanted to be one of his eyes and he said he would pay me.

I said okay I'll do it unless I'm not in any bullshit. But he said it was for some of his family.

I said that's understandable because I have a child of my own.

So your dad wanted me to watch after you do he hired me also. So I'm working for two men in the drug business.

So now I'm working with your stepdad and sand he wanted me to look after you.

I thought it was crazy but if I didn't you would get hurt.

I remember the first time seeing you at that hookah bar, you looked so innocent.

I felt all mushy and shit when I saw you.

And as I got to know you more I fell in love with you.

I knew my daughter would love you and I was wrong for not telling you but I didn't think it would get that far.

So yeah I'm basically working for your dad."

She just sat there staring off into space.

She didn't know what to say or think.

"Cyd-"

"Get out."

"List-"

"Get out! Get out!" She pushed him towards the door.
