They all were going back to the mall because Ayleks needed to take something back.
"Lani can you go get a pair of socks out the drawer please" Jahseh spoke. Kehlani went to get the pair of socks from the bottom drawer. When she closed the drawer there was something sharp sticking out of it. She cut herself on it.
"Ow" she said
"You okay?" Jahseh asked. She nodded her head. She looked at her finger seeing blood coming out of her finger.
"Bud" she spoke
"Bud?" Jahseh questioned
"Bud" she related holding up her finger.
"Are you bleeding?" He gasped going over to her. He grabbed her hand and looked at her finger. She was bleeding. He took her to the bathroom and ran her hand under some water. He then placed a bandaid around her finger.

They all were downstairs having a good time when someone kept continuously ringing the doorbell and knocking. Stokeley answered the door annoyed that they wouldn't leave. He opened the door seeing two men standing there in professional suits.
"Can I help you?" Stokeley asked
"Yes. We're here for Kehlani Onfroy" one of them informed
"Why?" Jahseh stepped in
"We received complaints that she is being domestically abused, sexually assaulted and raped" he read off of papers. They all mean mugged him.
"None of that shit happened to that girl" Jahseh mean mugged
"This child needs a safer environment" They said making their way into the mansion.
"Get the fuck out" Jarad spat. They seen Kehlani wasn't downstairs so they made their way upstairs with everyone trying to stop them. Kehlani was in the room and started crying. Shortly after Jahseh made it in the room. He seen the man trying to grab his baby. Kehlani was crying and she even slapped him. He grabbed Kehlani by her wrist. Jahseh sent a blow to his face making him let go of Kehlani. The other dragged the other on outside Bering him up too. Jahseh dragged him out the room.
"Stay in here okay" he said to Kehlani. She nodded her head as she continued to cry. Jahseh closed the door. He dragged him outside with the other one. They told them to get the fuck away and never come back. Jahseh was in tears as Jenesis really tried to get Kehlani taken. They closed the front door catching their breath. Jahseh went upstairs still hearing Kehlani crying.
"Daddy......I want my daddy" she cried. He opened the door to see her sitting on the floor crying as if it were the end of the world. He has never seen her cry this much. He picked her up. She continued crying. He rubbed her back as he kissed her cheek softly. He wiped her tears.
"You're safe baby okay?" He assured her
"Noooo" she cried. He sat down and stood her up on the bed so she was right in front of him. He held her hands.
"Kehlani look at daddy" he spoke. She looked at him.
"You are safe Kehlani" he repeated
"Nooooo" she cried. They all came upstairs to check on them.
"She okay?" Stokeley questioned
"No. She's not" Jahseh admitted
"What's wrong?" He questioned
"Watch" he said. They all watched.
"Kehlani you're safe" he said
"Nooooooo" she cried. She hugged Jahseh and held onto him tightly. Ally started tearing up.
"This breaks my heart" she cried, Jarad comforted her. Jahseh rubbed Kehlani's back. Her crying came to a stop and all that could be heard were her sniffles. Jahseh sat her his lap. She started crying again.
"Don't leave me daddy" he cried. That got to him. He looked away from her and put his hand over his face. He broke down. Stokeley went over to him and started rubbing his back.
"It's okay Jah" he assured him. He removed his hand and wiped his tears. He started rubbing Kehlani's back. He laid her down so her head was in the crease of his inner elbow. He softly kissed her cheeks and then her forehead. He had a feeling that Kehlani knew exactly what was going on and that bothered him. He pulled away and seen Kehlani relaxed. She slowly closed her eyes.
