"Shaniyah can you hear me?"
"My head hurts." She complained covering her eyes

"Your head is going fucking hurt soon," Rashaurd said but calmed down when the doctor and nurse looked his way

"We'll be waiting outside." The doctor said before he and the nurse left tmr room

"Why?" Rashuard asked trying to be calm about the situation but he watched so many people in his life die due to drugs and this is the life his daughter chose

"I don't know." She lied

"What do you mean you don't know Niyah?" He asked getting annoyed

"I just needed it to be quiet." She whispered
"What?" He asked confused

"It's always so loud and I just needed some quiet." She said as more tears began to fall

"Babygirl why didn't you speak to me?"
"I didn't want to worry anyone." She whispered

"You're not getting away with this Niyiah."
"I know daddy." she knew that she was in trouble

"No phone, tv none of that shit and I'll be picking and dropping you off from school." He said seriously

"I understand." Was all she could say

"There's a centre that can help you." Chanel had mentioned a group that she could go to twice a week

"Centre?" She asked and she felt like crying all over again. He was sending her away

"I'm not sending you away baby girl." He reinsured her. Even though he was upset with her at the moment he wouldn't send his child away they'd get through this together

She took a deep breath feeling relieved

"Who gave you the drugs baby?" He asked and the room went silent, the only thing being heard was her harsh breathing

"What?" She asked pretending to be confused
"You heard me Shaniyah."

"I don't remember his name." She lied trying to protect her drug dealer not because she cared for him but because if he died or was injured to the point where he had to stop selling to her or selling altogether no one else would help her

"Shaniyah I'm not gonna ask you again." He growled his patience running very low

"Hakeem.. his name is Hakeem Miller." She said ratting out her drug dealer and that would be the first of many people who suffered from selling to shaniyah but as the streets always said she was hard of hearing and never learned even up to de-

"You ain't hear?" My homie Brian asked while we chilled outside of old man Harris's shop

"Hear about what?" I asked confused
"Shawty that lives near you overdosed."

"Shaniyah or Laya?" I asked part of me hoping it laya she gave me the good top and all but I didn't care about her not one bit

"Shaniyah I heard ole boy gave her some dope then left her there." He said and I furrowed my brows confused ole boy?

"Who?"

"Hakeem one that chills with the crips." He informed me making me sigh what was that girl doing with them folks man knowing they hate her pops they coulda killed her ass

"Wow." Was all I could say Shawty was Wildin

"Yeah man, I told you that girl was trouble she was just good at hiding it." He said with a laugh as the others joined in and for some reason, it pissed me off that they were speaking about her like this

"Chill out." I said annoyed making him quiet down,  "You good bruh?" He asked wearily

"That's rashuard daughter put some respect on her name yo," I said pretending that was the reason I was annoyed

"My bad." They said

"Yo honey let me talk to you real quick." One of the Conner boys shouted following after a pretty dark-skinned girl making her cuss him. That seemed to cut the tension as we all laughed

"Deon leave that girl alone!" I called making him stop and she looked over at with me a smile I can't lie Shawty was bad

"Let me talk to you for a second Bebe," I said getting up and walking over to her

"What's yo name?" I asked when I reached her
"Eliana but everyone call me Elle." She said and I could see the faint blush on her face

"How old are you?"
"Seventeen." She said with a smile making me smile

"Well hello, Elle my name is Ace."
"That's your real name?" She asked with a little sass

"Naw but you gotta work for that."
"What if I don't want to work for it?" She asked with a smirk

"Spicy I like that, you got a number?" I said getting straight to the point

"Yeah." She said trailing off
"Oh, I gotta ask. Cool Eliana may I get your number?" I asked with a fake British accent making her giggle

"Yes stupid." She said typing her number into my phone and saving it as  "𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 ☺️"

"It was nice speaking to you, Ace." She said and the way my name rolled off her tongue was so sexy

"Nice seeing you too girl," I said watching her walk off before turning around and heading back to my seat

"You get her number?" Zeke one of my bros asked

"You already know," I asked with a smile making them laugh and gas me up

"We hitting lick later you in?" He whispered not to kid for everyone to hear

"Fasho," I said sitting back and watching them act like fools but for some weird reason, I couldn't get ole girl out of my head. I wonder if she's okay

And that wouldn't be the last of many times he'd be worrying about shaniyah and waiting for her to recover but he too never listens or learned as they say, who don't hear must feel and Jade did indeed feel the second he fell in love with Shaniyah Woods because as the streets predicted she was no good for anyone not even herself.
