It’s just sex Erica it’s not going to hurt i promise I'll be gentle. He rubbed her cheek i promise baby come on i love you don't you know that? She breathed heavily; i don't want to do this get off of me. He hushed her up quiet baby just relax. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. She moved and he got angry, he backed handed her with so much force that she stumbled backwards. STAY STILL; you don't want it to hurt do you? Baby I'm trying to be gentle why you crying? Niko please i don't want this he groaned in frustration. You always got to open your damn mouth. Niko get the hell off of me i don't want you to touch me. she shook in horror get off of me Niko! She ran for the door but he forced a bat against her head. Darkness, when she woke she felt the heat in between her legs grows cold. She tried to move her head to recognize her surroundings but she flinched in pain. She tried to scream but her throat was so parched that nothing came out. She licked her lips and tried again, nothing. She laid there in silence. She shut her eyes when she heard footsteps. He forced the door open. He flipped her over and started to forcefully stroke in and out of her. He spit on her and left out the room again she reached for the bat, with all her might she tried to get up with the little strength she had left. Darkness she couldn't understand what was going on she could hear her dad calling her name but she couldn't respond. Darkness why can’t i see she kept screaming but no one heard her. Erica baby come on back to us please. Darkness dad where am i, no response dad where am I! Dad why aren't you responding. Darkness Erica if you can hear us move your fingers. Why can’t i see you who’s, talking to me, no response. Can some one answer me please! Darkness. She's crying doc she’s crying is that good? That’s her only way of responding so far but yes that’s good. Darkness she ain’t even get raped Charles. If she would just stop hanging with Niko and his stupid friends she would have never gotten shot. Alana it happened she got raped and attacked and that’s all you can say, i swear you so stupid.

Charles she’s dead we need to take her off the damn machine she wasting my money! She so stupid she'll learn her damn lesson sooner or later. i tried to speak nothing came out i tried again, dad ,dad i opened my eyes i saw Kevin an Miles in the corner crying. no one heard me , Miles looked up , Erica , everyone looked towards her. Are you really alive? Erica is you feeling any better? i shook my head the tears wouldn't stop. i was in so much pain. My body felt as if it was a silent corpse. i moved my head and this time it didn't hurt. i looked down and started crying, because not only did this negro rape me but he left his mark. Why are y'all staring at me! Do you really think i wished upon a star for this to happen to me! My mom looked at me harshly; she excused herself out the room i guess because she never came back. What the hell is going on with my body! Why do i look impregnated! Erica, he spit back at me, calm down! You were raped, yes he left his genes in you that’s something I'm not happy about! Abortion was an option but it wasn't my decision to make! You should be thanking God that Miles found you! He shook his head just, baby girl just calm down okay. I'm just happy to see you here i was almost a little too sure in believing that you were dead. His voice became shaky I'm sorry baby I'm so sorry i wish i was there I'm sorry.

Erica was becoming weaker and weaker as the months passed. she was upset that she had to raise this baby on her own when she didn't ask for it in the first place. What frustrated her even more was the fact that this baby had no father. It hurt her even more when she was judged by her own mother; she longed for her mother to love her but got nothing in return. What irked her most was that she never looked her age. She would always get shameful glares because she looked 16 and pregnant rather than 18 and pregnant. The fact of the matter is, is that I never wanted to be pregnant in the first place mom. She wiped her face, I want and beg for you every day, but you disowned me. Alana looked at her daughter; learn how to keep your legs closed. Mom, Erica's voice croaked. She faced her daughter what more do you want me to say when you brought this foolishness amongst yourself! What is a mother to do when she can’t look at her daughter the same and except her flaws? Erica, let out a frustrated moan as she grabbed at her stomach.  You know what; forget you I’m so tired of this I swear.  Instead of being here for me you want to go against me.  Alana looked away, Look at me Mom she screamed out!  Alana faced her phone, mom Erica’s voice croaked.  She grabbed her keys and headed for the door.  She dialed miles number, she sniffled, Miles.  What’s wrong ET, who is that baby?  It’s Erica Alexa, she groaned, why you still talking to her?   Erica hung up the phone, Erica miles questioned Erica, and he looked at his phone and noticed that she hung up.  Dang Alexa what is it with you always being jealous of her!  Miles I should be the only female you talk to, he shook his head.  She dived in for a kiss but he pushed her away, he got up.  Where you going baby?  Look I’m going to go see if my best friend is okay, you can excuse yourself out my house, he smirked.  You gone take me home miles, Alexa questioned, nah miles chuckled you can get to walking.  He dialed Erica up, where you at?  Why she asked irate that he even had the nerve to call back when he didn’t come to her defense.  He sighed, Erica come on now I’m sorry, where are you at?  I’m   Miles, I need you she confessed, please come here, Erica where are you, Miles she questioned, yea?  Could I spend the night over there, yea he sighed just come straight here you already got me worried.   Okay, there was a knock at the door, dang she got here fast she thought to himself.   He opened the door, and noticed Alexa standing there; he looked at her and sighed.  Alexa what you need, Miles please, baby I just wanted to say I’m sorry I am really. Alexa can you not, for real if you can chill out then you can come in.  He sighed as she looked at her feet; he stepped away from the door come on. She sat on the couch and waited quietly, baby what you want to eat?  Oh let’s get Chinese, he nodded, there was a knock at the door.  Could you get that Lex that’s Erica, she tried her very best not to scrunch up her nose.  Erica she smiled, she gasped, are you okay?  She shook her head, come here Hun, Alexa hugged her; she led her to the couch and rocked her in her arms.  It’s going to be okay she kept repeating to her.   She drifted off to sleep, she continued to rock her.  She let her loose of the grip she was holding her in and went to get her a pillow and a cover from the closet.  Miles Alexa smiled, she’s sleep, and okay he nodded, what the total amount sir, okay thank you.  He looked at Alexa and mouthed a thank you. She smiled, and mouthed an I love you back.

Aye Niko, he turned and faced Kendrick, why you leaving?  Awl no man I’m just going to get something real quick.  Lately Niko and his friends had been running trains on females.   After he was done getting what he needed out of his car he pulled out his phone and called his girl.  Okay baby I’m gone call you later okay, she giggled by papi, she bit her lip as if he could see her.  Niko she spoke, he hung up on her.  he reached for the door but stopped and bent down to pick up his keys.  Look Keith clenched his jaw, we about to shoot him man; Kendrick slowly slipped away trying to warn Niko.  He flinched as he heard seven gun shots ring off.  He ran, towards his car and drove off.   They kept shooting at Niko until each of them ran out of bullets.  Aye come on y’all let’s get out of here !
