-recap-

"I don't fucking know, now get your hands off me." I snapped

"You gonna keep on with your smart mouth and ima have to teach yo ass a lesson." He said

"Get the fuck out my face, you was just saying earlier you like attitude, i don't wanna hear it." I said trying to walk past him but he yanked me by my hair.

"Ahhh!" I screamed in pain. He punched me dead in my face twice. I felt blood pouring from my mouth and nose, he let go of my hair, next thing I knew I was trying to catch my balance, and everything was going blurry before everything went black.

-recap over-

"Hey baby girl. How are you?" I heard

I turned to see and it was my dad. Wait what? My real dad!

"Hey daddy.. I thought you we're dead?" I said nervously "Did you come here to take me with you?" I asked

"I am dead baby girl. No, it's not your time. Although you could have just died from all that bleeding and choking on your blood, it's just not your time." He said with a smile

"But why? I may as well die. No one cares about me and they treat me like crap every single day." I cried

"I know baby girl. But Your friend India, she cares or else she would have never got you help. If it wasn't for her you'd be dead." He said

"Still. Nobody loves me. Mom barley is around me it.. It's just so hard dad!! I miss you!! Why'd you have to leave me? I felt loved and like someone cared, now I'm in this world all by myself!!"

"Kayla, you will find love soon enough. I feel you will find a nice young man to come into your life and your mom should come around.... I hope."

"My trust is messed up with these guys dad. I've been stood up and hurt so many times since 8th grade by 5 guys. It was so bad, I couldn't believe they would do that to me, and then moms husband...." I kind of laughed because it was terrible.

"I know baby girl. I see everything. We can only pray that it gets better. But remember, when you find love.. Don't think everything is going to be perfect. Love comes with hardships, and If you really love that person and they really love you should be able to get past those hardships by working together as one, but NEVER let anyone take your love for granted. Never." He said

And then he faded away.

"She's up!!" India yelled

"Hey." I said, my voice a little weak.

"Are you feeling alright? Here's some water." She said handing me a bottle of water.

"Yeah, thanks." I looked around and I was in the bathroom at the club. What the fuck?
