Before I start this chapter I want to know how does Chapter Seven have more reads than Chapter Six and Five Wassup with that? Y'all skipping chapters now?

Lucas laid on Laila's lap as they watched reruns of The Fairly Oddparents.

"Cosmo was a dumb nigga." Lucas said getting up going in the kitchen.

"Where is your mama?" Laila asked him.

"Work as always." He said taking out some chicken flavored ramen noodles. "Want some noodles?"

"You got shrimp flavor?"

"Ummmm...nope we only got chicken and beef." Lucas said.

"I'll take beef with some hot sauce." Laila said.

"Okay."

Laila laid down on the couch and before she could get comfortable somebody knocked on the front door.

"Answer that baby." Lucas said.

Laila got up pulling her Lucas' t-shirt down since that's the only thing she had on other than the boy shorts she had on.

"Who is it?" Laila said.

"Los Angles Police Department."

Laila opened the door. "Yes?"

"Are you Laila Baptiste?" They asked her.

"Yes."

Lucas came to the front door standing behind Laila.

"Your mother reported you missing and that you ran away. We need you to come with us." One of the officers said grabbing Laila.

"Wait! Stop please no I'm not going!" Laila screamed.

"Aye man let her go." Lucas said.

"Stay back."

Laila tried her best to get out of their grip but she couldn't. Lucas couldn't do nothing either.

"Baby imma call my mama." He said before they put her in the back of the police car.

Laila cried as they drove off. She can't believe her mother would do something like this.

"Mr. Samson is this your daughter?"

Laila looked at her stepfather with hatred.

"That's her." He said.

"Okay you can talk to her."

The door opened and he walked in.

"Hey babygirl." He said before sitting down in front of her.

Laila looked at him then spitted on him.

"That's nasty." He said. "I like it nasty."

Laila started to cry. "Why won't you just leave me alone?"

"Remember when you tried to kill me? I could tell the cops that. You don't even know how to stab somebody."

"Just let me go please." Laila cried.

"Nope. You owe me." He said.

"No I don't!" Laila yelled.

"Yes you do! You tried to kill me." He whispered the last part.

"Because you molested me. You've been doing it for years and my mother doesn't believe me so she beats me until I bleed. Do you know how it feels for your own mother to not believe her own baby? You are not my stepfather. You are my rapist and I'll hate you for the rest of my life. I wish I did kill you." Laila said while tears fell down her face.

The door opened once again. "Oh Samson you found her." Laila's mom said hugging her. "Where have you been?"

Laila moved her mother off of her.

"She was at some boy's house." Samson said.

"Fast ass I knew you were a hoe."

"Jennifer you know what I think we should keep her locked up make her be homeschooled. She can stay home with me." Samson said.

"That's a good idea for her or she's gonna end up somebody's baby mama."

Laila sat there not even saying anything. Ever time she spoke up she was always interrupted.

"Mama?" Laila said.

"What?" Her mother said.

"Samson rapes me." Laila said before getting slapped.

Laila quickly stood up pushing her mother into the wall and punching her.

"Aye aye stop." One of the officers said rushing in the room.

They quickly pulled Laila off of her mother.

"I hate you. You're my mother. You carried me for 9 months. You had me! I'm your daughter and you let him rape me over and over again! I tell you and all you do is beat me! You're not even a mother especially not to me! Desperate ass bitch!" Laila said snatching away from the officer leaving out of the room.

They was about to go after her. "Let her go." Her mother said. "She was nothing but a burden anyway."

"Oh my god! Ming!"

"Mom you don't have to yell." Ming said.

For the first time in forever when Ming got home from school her parents we home. She was kind of mad about that, because Keith sent her a text saying her was gonna make her go numb when she got home.

"Why does the grease keep popping?" Mrs.Simmons said.

Ming took a deep breath. "Mama why didn't you just ask Victoria to cook dinner and why are you cooking anyway?"

"Well I let Victoria off anyway so she could visit her mother and your father and I are having guest over." Mrs.Simmons looked up and down at her daughter's attire. "You need to go change." She said.

"Ugh." Ming said. "And it goes on low so it won't pop."

Ming walked into the living room to see Keith and her father watching football.

"Ming how's your mother doing with the food?" Her father asked her.

"Terrible." Ming said sitting on the arm of the couch beside Keith.

He looked her up and down before licking his lips.

"I hope the food is good."

"Who is coming over?"

"Um Mr.Francis and his family. You remember his son don't you?" Her father asked.

Ming looked at Keith then looked at her father.

"Um nope." Ming said.

"Yes you do. His name was D'mani."

"Father I do not." Ming lied. "Mama said I need to go get dressed." She said rushing upstairs.

Keith chuckled watching her almost fall going upstairs.

"Excuse me Mr.Simmons I need to go the bathroom." Keith said getting up going to bathroom.

"Ok son go ahead."

Keith went upstairs. Ming had her door cracked opened.

He slowly entered her room closing the door and locking it.

Ming paced back and forth in her room. "Why in the hell would he do that?"

"I guessing you do remember him." Keith said scaring the hell out of Ming.

"Well yeah somewhat." Ming said.

"What is he well was to you?"

"My Boyfriend." Ming said. "Well ex now."

Keith laughed. Come here." He said.

Ming walked over to him. Keith grabbed her hand pulling closer. Ming felt like all of her breath left her body. Keith pulled her hair making her head jerk back. He slipped his hand in her pants touching her pussy slowly.

Ming moaned slowly enjoying the pleasure.

"If you even smile at that nigga tonight I will fuck you until you can't even walk anymore."Keith said. "Ok?"

"O...ooooo....ok." Ming moaned.

"Ok what?" Keith asked her watching the faces she made.

"Okay daddy." Ming finally said.

Keith took his hand out and licked his fingers.

Ming looked at him like he was crazy.

"Get dressed and wear something you think I'll like." Keith said before leaving her room.

Ming frowned. "Could've at least finished." She said going into her bathroom.

Keith was drinking on some drink Mr.Simmons had him drinking when Ming came downstairs he almost choked on his drink.

Ming came downstairs in her white Gucci logo dress, gold sandals to match, and her gold honey logo hoops.

"Ming honey what do you have on?" Her mother asked her while setting up the table.

"You said where something suitable."Ming said walking past Keith. He caught a swift of her perfume and almost fell in love.

"Damn." He said.

"Excuse me son?" Mr.Simmons said.

"I meant damn this drink you made is good got me a little tipsy though." Keith said.

"I wanted to be bartender or what they call it a...a....mixologist." He said.

Ming and her mother looked at him like he was crazy.

The doorbell rung. "I'll go get it." Mr.Simmons said.

Ming stood by her mother and Keith. Keith slowly reached over and massaged Ming's ass through her dress.

"Damn no underwear?" He whispered lowly.

"Nope." Ming said.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs.Francis and hello D'Mani you've grown up." Mrs.Simmons said. "I'm pretty sure you remember my daughter Ming and this is Keith my husband's assistant."

"Hi." Keith and Ming said at the same time.

"Dang Ming you acting like you don't remember me." D'Mani said.

Ming smiled. "I do."

"Can I get a hug?" He asked.

Keith cleared his throat before walking away.

"Yeah." Ming said giving him a hug.

"Okay let's have dinner." Mr.Simmons said.

"This shrimp tempura is good Mora." Mrs.Francis said.

"Thank you this was my first time cooking in a while." Mrs.Simmons said..

Keith felt like he wanted to throw it up to be honest. He watched everybody else enjoy it.

"So D'Mani where do you plan on going to college at?" Mr.Simmons asked him.

"Um I was thinking about Clark in Atlanta." He said. "What about you Ming?"

"Either UCLA or Julliard."

"Yeah Ming stills dance remember y'all met at the dance studio?"Mrs.Simmons said.

"Yeah I remember." D'Mani said looking at Ming.

Keith and D'Mani both looked at Ming she felt like she was trapped.

"Mama I feel sick." Ming said. "May I be excused?"

"Ming you don't look sick. Now don't be rude." Mrs.Simmons said.

Ming rolled her eyes.

"So D'Mani do you have a girlfriend?"

"No I don't." He said.

"Well Ming is single. She need somebody in her life." Her mom said.

"Mom! I'm good."Ming said.

"I think it would be good if y'all dated again." Her father said.

Ming looked at her mother and father like they had two heads. Keith started laughing.

This was gonna be a long night.

Alijah and August laid in her bed doing nothing but feeling and kissing on each other.

"Mmmm baby." Alijah said as August kissed and sucked on her neck.

August stopped what he was doing. "Why'd you stop?" Alijah asked him.

"Be honest with me...what all did you and Zack do?" He asked.

"Zack and I really didn't do nothing we basically did what we doing now, but I didn't want him like I am with you." Alijah said telling the truth. "What all did you and Delilah do?"

"Shit we fucked." August said.

"I know." Alijah said.

"Well why you asked?" August said watching her get up out the bed.

"I just asked." She said putting on her pajama shorts.

August rolled his eyes. He sat up in the bed.

"Come'ere baybeh." He said.

Alijah walked over to him and he pulled her on top of him.

"What you scared of?" He asked her.

"What you mean?"

"Like are you scared I'm gonna hurt you?"

"No." She said.

"A'ight gimme kiss." August said poking his lips out.

Alijah pushed his face away getting off of him. "Boy bye."

He looked at her like she was crazy then pulled her back pinning her down on the bed.

"Who you think you talking to?" He said before smashing his lips into hers.

Alijah's phone started ringing and it was Laila.

Alijah heard Laila crying on the other side of the phone.

Alijah hung up the phone.

"What's wrong baybeh?" August asked her.

"Laila was crying on the phone she asked me to come get her. Ion know what's wrong." Alijah said grabbing her shoes putting them on.

"You want me to call Lucas?"

"No but you need to leave I'm sorry." Alijah said.

"A'ight." He said putting back on his shirt.

Laila sat in the dark alley waiting for Alijah to come.

She started crying again as she bled from her inner thigh.

Her stepfather followed her from the police station and started beating her in the alley then he raped her.

"God please." She cried holding her stomach.

"Laila?" Alijah said rushing to her bestfriend's side. "Oh my god what happened?"

Laila started crying harder. "He raped me again Lijah and this time showed no mercy and now I'm bleeding and....and...I don't know what to do."

"Come on."Alijah said helping her up.

Laila had blood everywhere. "I think I need to go to hospital." Laila said before her eyes rolled back and she fell.

Alijah panicked and ran in Wendy's asking for help.

"Somebody please call 911." She said.

Alijah sat in the emergency room she didn't know who to call. Laila barely had any family but she did get in touch with her brother.

Tahim came rushing in the door.

"Where she at?" He asked Alijah.

"She fainted again when we got here. She lost a lot of blood. He slit the inner part of her thigh with a pocket knife." Alijah said.

"I swear to God when I see him I'm killing him." Tahim said.

Lucas walked in not even noticing Alijah and Tahim.

"I'm looking for Laila Baptiste." He said to the lady in the window.

"Sit down sir will be with you in a minute." The nurse said.

"I ain't got time for that. THAT'S MY GIRL!" He yelled.

Alijah got up quickly grabbing him. "Lucas calm down they taking care of her. Please just sit down."

Lucas sat in the corner away from them.

"That's her boyfriend?" Tahim asked Alijah.

"Yeah." Alijah said.

"Family of Laila Baptiste."

Alijah, Lucas, and Tahim stood up.

"Are y'all her family?"

"I'm her brother." Tahim said.

"I'm her sister." Alijah said.

"I'm her boyfriend." Lucas said.

"No mother or father?"

Tahim was getting irritated. "No we don't have a mother nor a father."

"Okay. We stopped the bleeding on her thigh but Laila was raped and....

"And what?!" Lucas said.

"She had a lot of vaginal bleeding and she might have an STD." The doctor said.

"What?!" Lucas said making sure he heard correct.

"Are you and her sexually active?"

"Yes."

"Well we need to get you checked too. We are not for sure she does but when her gynecologist looked it seemed liked it." The doctor said. "Come with me please and you all may go see Laila she's a little sedated but she can talk."

Lucas shook his head following the doctor.

"Imma kill him." Tahim said walking out of the emergency room.

Alijah got a vistor sticker and Laila's room number.

Walking in the room Laila was laying down.

"Leave me alone." She cried.

"Lai it's me. Lucas is here too."

She started crying harder. "They said I might have an STD Lijah. What if I gave it to him?"

"Just pray you don't." Alijah said.

"God doesn't love me. If he did he wouldn't have let all of this happen to me." Laila cried.

"He does. Sometimes he lets all of this stuff happen for a reason." Alijah said.

Laila rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
