More Than Friends

Chapter 38

*Layton in MM*

Layton was asleep at her nice apartment she had in downtown LA. It was a two bedroom two bath. She was a fresh artist and was glad she was following her dreams.

"Mommy" she heard her daughter call her name causing her to wake.

"Brooklyn, what's wrong" she asked walking up seeing her at the end of the bed.

"I don't wanna go back to my daddy's house" she told her sadly and she sigh.

"Brook you have to understand, he's your father too baby. He's your primary guardian" Layton told her and she started to cry.

"I only see you four times out the year, this isn't fair. I like being with you and hearing stories about my family even though.... I never met them" she said about to cry all over again.

"Baby I know, mommy loves you with all her heart ok. I promise when I make enough money I'm going to get you back" Layton told her grabbing her hand.

"You said that last time, I'm tired of living with him and his wife. She nice but she's not my mother, you are and I wanna be with you" Brooklyn told her as tears slipped down her face.

"Come here baby, I know" she said pulling her into a hug as she broke down crying.

When Layton was 16, she got pregnant. The boy was 18, and her mom kicked her out because she was pregnant by him. She started to live with him and he cheated on her multiple times.

She showed herself she was better than that so she decided to move out and live with a friend. When she had Brooklyn, he took her to court and got full custody of their daughter only getting to see her on holidays.

When she turned 18, she tried to get her back but lost the battle because she didn't have a stable home. She was also put in a 25k bond, once she paid that she could get her daughter back.

When she signed to Quality Control last years it was one of her biggest blessings. She saved up 20k but still was 5k behind. She just wanted her daughter back, but it seem like it was taking forever.

She didn't wanna call on family because she didn't want them to clown her about her daughter and getting pregnant at a young age. She knew her family wouldn't mind giving her money, but she didn't want to depend on them but she had to do something.

"Baby you gotta get ready to head back home, your flight leaves in two hours" Layton told her daughter, she hated this.

"I don't want to, I wanna be here with you." She said and this was a normal thing with them.

Brooklyn loved her mother. She hated she only got to see her four times out of 365 days. It had been like that for to long, she was growing up. She wasn't a child anymore, she deserved to be with her mother. She wanted to meet all her family that Layton would tell her about.

"Brooklyn listen to me, I'm going to have you home by Christmas ok" Layton told her and Brooklyn nodded.

"Promise" she said holding her pinky up.

"I promise" She said as the locked pinky's.

"Alright go get ready baby, I love you" she said kissing her forehead and Brooklyn.

"I love you too" she said walking out her room.

She had to think. It was about to be June next week. She only got to see her daughter Valentine's Day, Her babyfathers anniversary, his birthday, and his wife birthday. By the time she'd see her daughter again it'd be the middle of June, which was his birthday.

"Imma ask Pierre" she said grabbing her phone, Pierre was her favorite brother anyways.

She started to call him but his phone went to voicemail. She called Amarin and her phone went to voicemail. She looked at her contacts. Lauren, Payton, or Seven was her only choice. She didn't know which one to choice.
