Cj.

"Amari? What you doin here yo?"I asked looking at her weirdly.

"I need your help Cj"She cried out and I heard Jayda scoff from behind me.

I looked back at her before looking back at Amari "Need my help with what?"I furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"You have to get Kayla I can't do this"She shook her head.

"The fuck you mean you can't do this?"I said getting angry.

"She just keeps crying and crying and I don't know what to do anymore"She said putting her face in the palm of her hands.

I walked over to Kayla's carseat and picked it up. "You did something to my damn child bitch"I snapped at Amari and Jayda grabbed me back.

"Let's just take her to the hospital"She whispered to me.

"Get off my damn property"I said through gritted teeth to Amari. She jumped up and quickly walked off to her car and drove off.

I put Kayla in the backseat and Jayda hopped in the passenger side with a sleeping Jahlan in her lap.

I quickly sped off and went into the direction of the hospital. When we got there I got Kayla's carseat out of the backseat and we all walked inside.

"Um we need to see a doctor"I said to the lady at the front desk.

She looked at me and slightly rolled her eyes. "Take one of these and fill it out please"She said in a bored tone.

"Bitch I do-"

"It's okay Cj. I'll do it"Jayda said grabbing the sheet of paper.

It took her about five minutes to fill out the piece of paper and then she handed it back to the lady.

"Sit in the waiting room and a doctor will be with you shortly"She said to Jayda with a attitude.

"Look her you stank attitude bitch. This baby is fucking sick and she needs immediate attention, now either you get us a doctor right now or I whoop yo ass right now. You choose"Jayda snapped causing a big ass scene in the waiting room.

The lady looked up at Jayda's face and hurried up and went into the back.

"Damn bae, I didn't know you had all of that in you"I said pulling her close to me.

"Look I know how it feels to be worried about your baby in the hospital"She said looking down at Jahlan who was in her arms "I would feel the same way about stank as well"She said rubbing his curls.

"Here you guys can follow me to the back"The lady said walking back into the waiting room.

I grabbed Kayla's carseat and we all followed the lady to the back. She put us in this room and then walked off.

After waiting fifteen minutes the doctor finally came in.

"Hello I'm Dr.Edward, What seems to be the problem?"He asked looking down at his clipboard.

"My daughter just keeps crying and crying"I told him and he nodded.

"You mind taking her out of the carseat?"He asked and I nodded and picked Kayla up out of the carseat.

Her face started to get a big frown and then she broke into a big cry. The Doctor looked over her as I held her in my arms.

"Was these rashes always here?"He asked looking at me and I nodded.

"Yea ever since she was born she has had a rash on the back of her arms"I told him.

"I know what the problem is. Your baby is going through withdrawal"He said and me and Jayda looked at him funny.

"What do you mean? My daughter isn't on any drugs"I said.

"Um ma'am if you don't mind,but did yo-"

"I'm not the mother"Jayda interrupted him.

"Well sir are you aware if the mother was on any type of drugs during her pregnancy?"He asked me.

"No. Not that I know of"I told him.

"Well I would like to run some more tests on little..."He trailed off looking at his clipboard "Jakayla"

"Why?"Jayda asked.

"Because we need to know for sure if it's drugs, or she is just having a birth thing going on,but in most signs is that your baby is going to keep crying even if you gave her a bottle or even changed her diaper"He explained to us "Babies cannot talk and tell us what's wrong so in most cases when you lay your baby in her crib she is going to scrap her arms against the crib and it leaves rashes just like the one your baby has"He explained.

"Will she die?"I asked and he shook his head.

"No she will not die,but later on in life she might have trouble in school focusing or might be held back a grade. All depends"He said and we both nodded.

"Anymore questions?"He asked and I shook my head.

He left out of the room and Jayda start shaking her head.

"I'm going to kill that bitch"I said getting up and pacing the room.

"Amari outta be a damn shame of herself. Doing all of that during her pregnancy"Jayda said rocking Jahlan. "I could never"

"Something told me to not let her out of my house. When I find her I swear I'm going to snap her neck"I said getting angrier.

"No don't do that. Kayla still needs her mother"Jayda said and I looked at her like she lost her mind.

"No Jayda, I'm going to kill her. She did this shit to my little girl she is going to pay for this"I snapped at her.

"Well don't get mad at me because your low life baby mama got your child going through withdrawals"Jayda said smartly.

If she didn't have Jahlan in her arms I would've grabbed her ass.

"Jayda can you please just shut the fuck up"I said taking a deep breathe.

"Um no what the hell."She rolled her neck "You know what tell Tristan to come get me and take me home"She said getting up and walking out of the room.

I pulled my phone out and called Tristan.

"Wazzam"He said in a sleepy voice.

"Bru come get Jayda from the hospital before I knock her head through the walls"I said in a annoyed tone.

"What happened? Why y'all at the hospital?"He asked.

"I'll let you know later on. Just come get this girl and tell James to go searching for Amari."I said into the phone "It's time for this bitch death date..."I said and then hung up.

Jayda.

Tristan had pulled up and got me and Jahlan from the hospital and now he was taking me to my house.

"What happened? Why I had to come get yo lil bean headass?"Tristan said looking over at me and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know, you need to get yo homeboy about his mouth"I said looking out the window.

"'Man he just mad because of that hoe Amari. I even knew that she was doing that Whitney Houston shit"He said and I start laughing.

"Shut up Tristan, that ain't good. Now that poor baby is suffering"I said nudging his head.

"Exactly what I'm saying is that Kayla bug is suffering and so is Cj. So drop whatever attitude or grudge you have against Amari and just be there for my boy. That's all"He said.

"What grud-"

"Jayda shut up you know you cannot stand Amari"Tristan said and I huffed.

"Okay your right. I will put everything aside and be there for Cj"I said as he pulled into my driveway.

"Good. Now get the fuck out I got shit to do"He said shooing me away.

"Boy fuck you"I said getting out of his car and making sure I slam his door.

I fixed Jahlan on my shoulder and I pulled my keys out and unlocked the door. I walked into the house and cut the alarm off.

I walked into Jahlan's room and laid him on his changing table. I start taking his clothes off which made him shuffle in his sleep and he start whining.

"No Jahlan don't start that. You know mommy have to get these sticky clothes off of you"I said as I start changing his diaper.

After I changed his diaper I put him on a all white onsie. I picked him up off of the changing table and took him in the kitchen so I could give him a bottle.

I pulled a already made bottle out of the refrigerator and I put the bottle in some hot water.

As I was waiting for his bottle to heat up I just start thinking about the situation going on with Amari.

I could never do that to Jahlan no matter how hard my life was when I was pregnant. That's just sad and she is such a sad ass person.

"Okay stank here you go"I said passing him his bottle.

I picked him back up and walked back into his room and laid him down in his crib while he was still drinking his bottle. I cut his littke night light on and then I left out of his room.

"Cam leaves this damn living room a mess"I said as I tripped over on of Cam's shoes. "Imma whoop his ass"I said picking the shoe up and taking it to his room.

I cut the light on in his room and almost passed out. "Shit it fucking stinks in here"I said covering my nose.

It was clothes and shoes everywhere and plates and cups all over the place. How can he sleep in this dirty ass room.

I pulled my phone out and went to his contact.

Jayda-When you get back Monday. Clean this damn room, or it's gone be me and you.😡👊🏾

Cam-Room not even that bad🤣quit playing with me.

Jayda-Not playing with you Cameron Jason Sikes.

Cam-Okay mother damn.😒✋🏾

Cam- Girl bye yeen fighting shit.

Jayda-Watch me.

Cam-Don't touch my gunmies either

Jayda-Fuck them gummies. I already ate them.Goodnight boo.😗
Read:1:30 A.M

I laughed at my phone and put it on my room table. I stripped out of my clothes and walked into my bathroom.

I turned the shower on and hopped inside. After my shower I wrapped my wet hair into a T-shirt and then I dried off.

I moisturized my body and then I put my hair up in a messy bun. I walked back into my room and went inside my closet and put on a long T-shirt with some shorts with some long white socks.

I was walking into the kitchen looking down at my phone texting Havana back when a big strong hand came up from behind me and covered my mouth. Whoever this was snatched me up so hard that my phone dropped on the ground.

I start kicking and swinging wildly which made the person drop me on the ground on my side.

"Shit"I mumbled getting back up as I felt sharp pains in my side.

The man tried walking towards me before I got uo completely and I kicked him in his no no spot.

"Ahh stupid bitch"He said falling on the ground in pain.

I ran over and picked my phone up off of the ground and went straight to Cj's contact.

"What Jayda?"

"C-C-C-J I need your help!"I cried into the phone.

"Woah slow down. Talk right"He said in a worried tone.

"Somebody is in my ho-"

The dude picked me up and body slammed on the ground which made me drop my phone. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me outside by my hair.

I start kicking and hitting his hands as he pulled my body off of the stairs.

"Stop bitch damn"He snapped slapping me in the face.

"You pussy ass nigga. Let me go!"I yelled still trying to get him off of me.

He start dragging me into the grass and I managed to escape his grip.

"Come here bitch"He said walking towards me again and I kicked him in the legs.

Before he could fall to the ground I ran up and got on his legs and start clawing at his face. He tried to yank me off of him but I stayed on.

He threw me to the ground and start hitting me in the stomach. He was about to hit me in my face but then a ray of gunshots start going off and he dropped dead.

I stayed on the ground in a ball in so much pain and in fear.

"You okay?"Lance said walking up and picking me up.

I coughed a little and just dug my head into his chest. He walked me back into my house and laid me on the couch.

"Do you want me to call the police?"He asked sitting beside me and I shook my head.

"My boyfriend should be on his way"I said coughing up some blood.

"Here I'll get you some water and a towel"He said getting up and rushing into the kitchen.

He came back with a bottle of water and a cloth. He gave me the water bottle and I instantly start chugging it down.

"Jayda?"Cj said busting into the house.

"Over here"I said getting up.

He ran over to me and Lance and Tristan and James was right behind him. "Thank fucking God"He said bringing me into a big embrace.

"Oou"I winced in pain.

"What's wrong?"He asked examining me.

"It's my side"I said lifting up my shirt.

"Who did this shit to you?"He said clenching his jaw at the big bruise on my side.

"Why the fuck you here bitch?"James asked mugging Lance.

"Stop. He's the one that just saved me"I defended him.

"Thank you bru"Cj said pulling me closer to him.

"No problem I'm going to head out though. Be safe Jayda"Lance said and then walked out of my house.

"You going to stay with James tonight. Tristan gone be with you too. I gotta get back to the hospital with Kayla"Cj said and I nodded.

"James call Bri so she can come clean her up"Cj ordered.

"Look at your fucking face"He said examining my body more. "Tristan don't take your eyes off of her tonight. Watch over my baby"He said pulling me into a hug and kissing the top of my head.

"I'm going to go get lil man"Tristan said walking to the back.

"Um Cj, there's a dead guy in my front yard"I said and he looked down at me.

"Baby you murked a nigga?"He smiled down at me and I shook my head.

"No. Lance did it for me"I responded and his smile dropped.

"Oh okay then. I'll get the clean up crew over here before the sun comes up"He said as Tristan was bringing Jahlan out.

"Y'all ready?"He asked and I nodded.

We all walked out of my house and got inside Jame's truck.

"Imma chop it up with y'all later"Cj said helping me inside.

"Alright man got take care of ya baby and we got yo bitch"James said to him.

I just gave him a look I didn't have the strength nor the energy to fight with him about calling me a bitch.

"Watch ya mouth. I told you about that shit"Cj pointed at him and James flipped him off and then drove off.

We made it to his house in no time because of the crazy fast driving he was doing.

"Guest room is upstairs, don't mess my shit up either"He said as we walked in the house. He passed me Jahlan and then walked to his room.

I rolled my eyes and start limping upstairs.
"Tristan can you please get him? I can't do this"I said and Tristan grabbed Jahlan for me and walked them both into a separate room.

I found a room to stay in,because his house was huge. I just climbed in the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Tonight was one hell of a night....
