A picture of Brandon is in the media. No he doesn't look like August Alsina like that reference I made a chapter or two ago. Lol. That was just a joke.🙈

Laila's POV

"Laila honey can you please be quiet", auntie Kayla begs.

I shake my head as tears kept running down my face.

"I.....want my... M-m-momm-y-y", I yell.

"You'll see her again baby....soon", she says.

"No! I want her nowwwww", I whine.

"Ty can you go back there and sit with her?", auntie Kayla asks uncle Ty.

"Yeah. Pull over real quick", he says.

She pulls up to the curb and he gets out the car. He opens the back door and slides over next to me. He unbuckled me from my car seat and pulls me into his arms. My head rested on his chest.

"We can't ride like this...it's illegal", he says.

What does illegal mean? , I ask myself.

"But we'll do it anyway", he says.

He holds me tight and buckles his seat belt over us. We continue to head back to their house. However that didn't stop my crying. My head hurt bad and all I wanted was my mommy.

"Sssh babygirl. It's ok", he says.

I shake my head. "M-mom-mmy".

"Hey lil mama. We'll see mommy tomorrow. We're gonna have so much fun", he says. "Like we did today".

I ignore him and keep crying and crying.

I don't want to lose her again.

What if I never see mommy again?

"911 what's your emergency?".

"Mommy isn't breathing. Mommy said she wanted to play a game. But when I hid...Mommy never came".

"I'm sorry what did you say? I can't hear you. Are you home alone".

"Mommy isn't breathing. Come quick".

"How old are you babygirl?".

"I'm 5 years old. But come save my mommy. I'm scared".

"What's your name?".

"Laila".

"Ok Laila. Stay on the phone with me honey. Someone will be right there to help. But first I need you to do something for me. Is that alright?".

"Yes".

"Tell me what happened".

"Mommy is laying flat on the floor....mommy isn't breathing...money has white stuff coming out of her mouth.....mommy keep twitching".

"Is she saying anything?".

"No".

"Did she say anything before this happened?".

"Do you wanna play a Game? You hide....I seek", I repeat.

"Ok. Do you know where you live. Do you know the address".

"No".

I don't think I like this game much anymore.

I remember when they took mommy away.
