Cayla's POV:

It's been 3 months already and Quan hasn't kept his word. I really want to leave but I can't. He has honestly locked me up in this house with no way to get out. I tried to escape but it hasn't work. He even put my mother in the hospital because I called her one night telling her that I needed help.

She came over and we were almost out the door but then Quantell came home and started acting crazy. Quan even ended up telling my mother about my sexuality and why I was really staying with him. How he found out about Janae...I honestly don't know. I just wish I had told my mother about things earlier.

I even tried telling Flo to help me and thank god she's helping me plan my escape. She has bought a small tracfone so I could contact her since Quan has taken away my phone.

"So he put locks on the outside of the door?" She asked through the phone. "Yeah...I don't know what type of locks he put but it's strong." I replied. Gabi waddled her way to me and I started clapping.

"Girl I don't know what to do..." I huffed. I gave Gabi her sippy cup and she waddled away.

"I have an idea. Ask Quan if he could take you out one night and make sure check to see how he opens the locks on the door and all that."

"Hmmmm. I should do that and tell him that we should do something romantic since Christmas is coming up and I don't get much gifts."

"Yes! Perfect! Once you look at how he unlocks the door then things would become much more easier."

I laid back in the couch and smiled. I couldn't wait till I left this hell hole. I just hope my mother isn't mad at me for not telling her about my situations. I was scared she was going to judge me as usual and make me feel bad about myself.

"Yes girl. You coming for my other bag of things right?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'll text you to tell you when to drop it out the window."

"Okay. Thank you so much for helping me Flo! You know my struggle right now."

"Yes... I do and a true friend helps their friend during their time if need no matter what the circumstance." We said out goodbyes and hung up the phone.

Janae's POV:

When I heard the knock at the door I ran down the hall and didn't even care to look through the peephole to see who it was. I opened the door and as I looked at this person, I thought to myself that opening up the door without seeing who it was first was the worst decision I have ever made.

"Woowwww! You got sexier!" Quantell said as he stepped into my apartment. This guy was not serious.

"Quantell, I haven't seen you in how many years and you have the nerve to come to my house uninvited and walk inside without even a proper greeting. How the hell did you find out where I even lived?"

He chuckled and sat down on the couch. "Don't worry about where I got your address from. I came here to actually warn you."

I rolled my eyes and sat on the arm of the other couch that was facing him. "Warn me about what? You're new girlfriend?"

"Cayla. Yes. I know she's been coming to see you but next time don't let her in or else you and her would get it...bad." He had his serious face on just like how used to every time we would have a conversation about something that would upset him.

"First off...Cayla invites herself in here. Second, you can't do sh*t to me because I am not Cayla. So please get your psychotic ass up out my f*ckin' couch and leave my crib quietly." I said in a calm tone.

He jumped up from the couch and walked over to me. I stood up staring him in the eyes while he gave me a disgusted look. He then grabbed my throat and threw me against the wall.

"Janae I don't know who you're talking to but you do NOT want to get loud with me!" He yelled spitting a little in my face.

There was a knock on the door and I thanked god for it once he released his hands from my throat.

I went to the door and opened it and in walked Tavia. "Baby you okay? Why is your neck so red?" She touch it gently and I flinched.

Quantell appeared from the living room and Octavia looked surprised then her brows furrowed. "Who is this Janae?" She asked. She looked Quan up and down and placed a hand on her hip.

"An old friend of mine from high school. He was just leaving. Right Quantell?" I asked hoping he got the point.

"Yup who's the lovely lady though?"

"My girlfriend Octavia." I replied.

"Nice to meet you Octavia. I'm Quantell." He said holding out his hand for her to shake. She had a very annoyed look in her face while she shook his hand.

After their not so friendly glances and each other, I opened the door and Quan stepped out. "Remember what I said." Quan whispered and left without saying another word to me.

"Your friend is weird. You sure you okay Nae?" Octavia asked. I touched my neck and looked at Tavia.

"Yeah. I'm good... I was wearing a itchy scarf today."

She raised a brow and shrugged. "Okay. Wanna go for dinner tonight?"

"Sure." I said and pulled her into me kissing her soft lips. I hope that this could last forever.

Cayla's POV:

I heard the door close and picked up Gabi and brought her with me to the front door. "Hey baby. How was work?" I asked giving Quan a kiss on the cheek.

"It was okay." He threw his jacket to me and plopped down on the couch. I put Gabi down and placed his jacket in the closet.

"Ummm...Quan?" I said quietly. 

He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Yeah baby what's up?" He bent his head and started kissing my neck.

"I was ummm...wondering if we could maybe go out for dinner tonight since you...ummm...wanted to do something nice to make up for those hard days...."

He looked at me and smiled then let go of me. "Sure, where you want to go?" he smiled.

"Wait...you're serious?" I asked shocked that I would finally be leaving the house.

"Yeah...I love you so much Cayla and I really want to make things work between us." I grabbed his face and kissed him imagining it was Nae's soft lips. "Thank you so much baby and I love you too!" I lied. Now I was another step closer to my escape.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower while Quan played with Gabi and got her dressed for our dinner. The next thing I have to do is try to get rid of Octavia so Nae could finally consider giving me a second chance at our love.

"You ready to go?" Quan asked as I placed on my last earring. I looked in the mirror one last time, smoothing down my flower print dress. "Yes!" I took a deep breath and walked out the room and into the hallway where Quan and Gabi were waiting.

"Damn baby! You're looking too fine!" He said while licking his lips. I smiled and grabbed my jacket to head out the door.

He slapped my ass and I jumped and rolled my eyes. "I really love that dress on you baby." he handed Gabi over to me and I watched him lock the door.

"Perfect..." I mumbled. "What did you say?" He asked when he looked up.

"I said it looks perfect on me..." I smiled. He kissed my cheek and we left, him thinking our relationship would get better while I was thinking about my escape.
