I rang Aaliyah's doorbell hoping she would open up. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. After a couple minutes she finally answered dressed in joggers and a oversized shirt.

"Hey Ariana" She greeted me with a smile.

"Hey Aaliyah I need a favor. Melody got kicked out of her moms and has no where to go. Mom and Dad won't let her stay there cause they say she's a criminal" I said as my Bestfriend Melody walked on the side of me.

Aaliyah started laughing "Her little thieving ass is not staying in my house. Better find a shelter" she tried closing the door.

I blocked it with my foot "Come on Aaliyah. She has no where to go. She's desperate"

She chuckled "She's also a thief,bad influence, eighteen years old perfectly capable of providing for herself. Should I continue"

I rolled my eyes "Please Liyah you cant leave her on the streets" I pleaded.

She rolled her eyes "Fine. But there will be rules. The first time she does anything I mean anything she's out Ari."

I jumped up and down "She won't I promise. She'll behave. Right Melody" I turned to look at Melody.

She flashed a smile "Yes. Thank you so much Aaliyah"

"Mhmm" Aaliyah replied walking back into her house.

Melody was a petite lightskiin like myself. We met in middle school. She's wasn't always a bad influence on me, not until we both entered highschool. She had a bad relationship with her parents and a bad home life. She wanted attention and used getting in trouble to get it.

I never thought anything was wrong with her, I still don't. She just need to grow and needs guidance from someone. Anyone. I loved her and I would do anything for her.

Melody had a couple bags, Aaliyah had a three bedroom so it was perfect. Melody and I brought her bags upstairs.

"Girl I cant believe my shit ass parents kicked me out again" she said while plugging her phone on the charger.

I slightly rolled my eyes "I can't believe you stole from them again. You gotta stop fucking up Mel"

She waved me off "Whatever man." I stood up from the bed "I'm serious Mel. If you fuck this up, there no where you can go. You need to change your life before it's too late. You need to get a job and start something for yourself." I said seriously.

Her face changed cause she knew I wasn't playing "Alright Ari I hear you." She pulled me next to her "I'm sorry imma change alright for you." She hugged me tight. I hugged her back, we hugged for awhile until Aaliyah knocked on the door.

"Ari mom called she said you needed you home for something" Aaliyah said standing in the doorway.

I stood up from the bed "Alright. I gotta go Mel. But I'll come by everyday to see you and everything" She nodded her head.

"Be good" I smiled. "I will" she smiled back and waved bye to me. I walked out the room and pulled Aaliyah to the side.

"Listen Liyah I know you and mom and pops have bad impression of her but she's not that bad. She's a good person she just needs someone to help her. Please be nice"

She rolled her eyes "Okay Ariana. I'll do my best. Just go alright. She'll be fine" I smiled and hugged her before walking down the stairs and leaving.

Miracle and I were sitting on the couch catching up on life. I hadn't seen her in a minute. All I seen on Instagram in the last week is her resigning as Jalen publicist. I was still shocked.

I caught her up on the events with Darius abc with Melody moving in. "You let Melody move in here?" She asked.

I nodded my head "I mean I couldn't just leave her on the streets. No matter how much I might dislike her"

She leaned back in her seat "Shii you better than me. I probably wouldn't even had opened the door after I seen who it was"

I laughed and threw a pillow at her "Mir"

She put her hands up in defense "What" she continued laughing until we both heard footsteps coming down the stairs making both of our heads snap to the direction.

It was Melody heading for the door. "I'm going out for awhile. I'll be back" she opened the door.

"Where you going?" I questioned.

"Out. I'll be back alright" she saud with an attitude.

I stood up from the couch "Well be back at 11:30"

She crossed her arms "No I have a curfew like a child"

I crossed my arms back at her "I have a four year old daughter and you can't just be coming in and out of this house whenever you please. 11:30 is a reasonable time"

She rolled her eyes "Fine. I'll be back by 11:15 how does that sound" she said sarcastically.

"Amazing" I smiled sarcastically while she walked out the door. I locked it behind her and sat back on the couch.

"This is going to be fun" Miracle said in a laugh.

I shook my head "It's going to be a blast." We both laughed.

Me and Miracle caught up for awhile, until she had to go and I needed to go get Kamryn from Darius house. It was the end of his days to have her.

I knocked on the door and there was no response. I knocked again and still no answer I was starting to get impatient. I twisted the door handle and realized the door was already unlocked.

"What the hell?" I said to myself as I walked into the house. It was all smoky inside the house.

I reached the living room where Jalen and Darius was smoking. "Darius" I said while hitting him in the back of the head.

"Mother of my child how are you" He smiled. I could tell he was high.

"Aaliyah. Wassup girl" Jalen said making my roll my eyes.

I put my hands on my hips "What the hell are you even doing. Where's Kamryn" I asked.

He thought for a second "Calm down she sleeping."

"Why are you smoking and getting high when your supposed to be looking after our daughter. Your a dad now Darius learn that you have responsibilities"

He chuckled "I haven't been a dad for for years thanks to you. Maybe if I knew sooner I would have more experience"

I scuffed "Fuck you" I started to walk away upstairs to get Kamryn.

He waved me off "Walk away and give up. It's something you were always good at" he screamed making me stop in my tracks.

"What" I turned back to him. "You heard me Aaliyah you gave up on me and our relationship. You never loved me"

"This is how you really feel inside" I asked him.

He nodded his head "I do." I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs and grabbed Kamryn.

"Chill where are you going" He said while grabbing my arm.

I snatched my arm away "Im taking my daughter since it's clear your not responsible enough to take care of her"

"No your not taking my daughter anywhere" he continued to grab me. "Let go of me Darius"

Kamryn woke up and starting crying. "Look at what your doing. Your scaring her. Let go of me"

Jalen hopped off the couch "Let her go D." He grabbed Darius arms.

"To think I thought you were over all of that. We can't be together until you get yourself in order. And your not seeing Kamryn until you learn to be a responsible father" I walked out the door and slammed it.

It's been about a week and a half since I've seen Kamryn or Aaliyah. Since the incident at my house. It was all a blur, I just wanted to let some stem out and smoking always did it for me.

"Mr.Boweman Aaliyah Colemon is here to see you. Should I let her up" My receptionist said through the phone while I sat in my office.

"Let her up" I responded. After a couple minutes Aaliyah came with Kamryn on her hip sleeping.

I rose from my seat "Daddy's princess" I took her from Aaliyah planting kisses on her sleeping face.

Aaliyah laid her down on the couch in my office. She sat down the chair across my mine.

"Wassup" I said dryly.

"Wassup with you. You said some things weeks ago that I thought you were over" she leaned in her chair.

I sighed "I am over it. Doesn't mean I'm not still anger about it. I feel like we never even talked about it"

She shook her head "Okay then let's talk." She sat her hands on the desk.

I stared at her for a little while "I'm over the breakup. I'm over you keeping Kamryn from me honestly I just want to move on. What I really want is us to rekindle what we had years ago. I want to stop focusing on the past and look towards to future. I was hurt and I'm sorry for my outburst." I said truly.

She nodded her head "I've apologized and I don't know what else to do but continue to show you how sorry I am. Let's move on D, if you have a issue let's talk about it like grownups please"

"Of course. And I won't smoke anymore when Kamryn in my care. Promise" I smiled.

She nodded her head "alright." She got up from her chair and sat on my lap and hugged me.

"I love you D" she finally admitted.

I smiled "I love you too Aaliyah" and pecked her lips.

"Aye I gotta go. I'm bout to get a new tattoo." I tapped her leg for to get up.

"Of what" she asked confusedly.

"You'll see" I smirked. I got up from my seat and raced down to the tattoo shop. After a couple hours I got to Aaliyah house after I was done.

"Wassup D"I said as I answered the door.

"Hey" he kissed my cheek and walked in. "Who's this" he asked pointing to Melody.

"It's Ariana Bestfriend Melody. She's staying with me for awhile." I responded.

"Wassup" He nodded his head at her. She slightly smiled "Hi" she said before walking up the stairs.

"So let's see this tattoo of yours" I said while putting my hands on my hips.

He out his hand up "Hold up. Where my daughter at" He asked.

I rolled my eyes and called Kamryn from the kitchen from eating dinner. She came running in the living room. "Hey daddy" she smiled.

"Hey lil bit" he kissed her cheek. He walked over to the couch and Kamryn followed him. "Wanna see my tattoo" he asked her.

She nodded his head and he removed his shirt and showed his tattoo on his back. I looked over it and it read Kamryn Ariel Boweman 4.17.14 with a big hand a little hand.

"Awee that's cute." He smiled and looked over at Kamryn. "You like it mooch." She thought for a second making me and Darius look at eachother.

"I love it daddy" she smiled. "Oh I got a surprise for you too Aaliyah" He turned to me.

"I hope you ain't get my name on your body cause that would be stupid" I laughed.

"Oh must definitely not." He laughed making me snap my head. "But I am taking you on a date"

I blushed "ooh Mr.Boweman your taking little ole me on a date." I faked surprised.

"We haven't been on a date in years. I hope I ain't loose my touch" he brushed hiself off.
