"Here. You need to eat." Austin came up to me and handed me an apple.

"No thanks" I looked back down at my phone scrolling through Twitter.

"Diamond you gotta eat something" he sat next to me.

"Austin I'm good..."

"Then what's wrong"

"i just wanna see my mom...that's all"

"You sure it's noth-"

"I literally just wanna see my mom that's it Austin please just leave me the hell alone" I got up and walked out of the hospital. I stood outside and felt myself tearing up.

I'm so tired. I'm sick and tired of going through shit. As terrible and selfish as that may sound, I am. I'm so tired of my family being in drama. Can I have a normal family for once? I wish that I wasn't raped. Me of all people. I wish my sister could be there for me and just be a better sister. I wish my dad worked a normal job instead of being a drug dealer. I just wish my life was different. All of this was just too much. All of this shit happened too fast. I just wanna see my mom. I sat down in one of the chairs outside.

"Diamond -" I heard Austin's voice.

"Please." I moved to sit on the bench outside.

He sat next to me. He didn't say anything he just grabbed my hand and interlocked my fingers with his. He held my hand and kissed it. "You'll get through all of this. I promise you."

We sat there in silence for a while until I had to pee. "You alright?

"Yea I just have to use the bathroom. I'll be right back"

"You need me to go with you?"

I laughed a little and stood up. "No I'm okay. Thank you though"

He stood up. "You sure?" he held both of my hands.

" Yes I'm fine" I looked at him.

He leaned down and kissed me. I didn't pull away this time. I let go of his hands and wrapped my arms around his neck as he put his hands around my waist. He grabbed my ass as he deepend the kiss. I pulled away and smiled.

"Diamond..."

"Yes?" I looked at him.

"Diamond....wake up" I heard Cierra's voice and felt her shaking me.

I opened my eyes. "Huh?"

"You wanna see mom now or wait until tomorrow? Cause Daddy's leaving now to go back"

"Wait...Where's Austin?" I asked.

"He's in King's room."

"oh..." shit. It was a dream.

"Soooo..."

"Oh um....I wanna see her now" I sat up.

"Okay well-"

"Wait"

"What?" Cierra looked at me.

"I thought Daddy was already at the hospital?"

"He was. He just came back to take a shower. He's been there since yesterday"

"Oh..I was sleep for a whole day?"

"Yea...You alright?"

"Yea I'm fine" I laid back down.

She sighed and sat down next to me. "Diamond what's wrong?"
