The Lyons Roar: Season 1 // Hakeem Love Story

|<11>|

"Well come on then." We got in my car and drove to her apartment.

"Hand me that jacket over there"I handed her the black jacket laying on the floor

"What the hell is that? I told you don't get pregnant, that doesn't mean you can get married instead!"

"Ma, I-(gco)"

"No No No, Call Hakeem's little ass over here. Aint even tell nobody."

"We didnt-(Gco)"

"You pregnant?"

"No. We didn't get married!"

"Oh. Okay. Well what the hell is that then?"

"Promise ring"

"A promise ring? That's cute. You know, I was about your age when I met Lucious. Yeah, we went on a date then I ended up with three kids." She laughed as she walked to the couch and plopped down. I sat next to her

"So, wassup with you and Hakeem?" I asked

"I dont know, He's just always so mad at me. Being in Jail for seventeen years and not ever getting to see him once must have been hard for him but It was hard for me too. he should be mad at Lucious for never bringing him to see me."

"So he's acting like it was all your fault?"

"Yeah I guess."

"I'll talk to him."

"Would you? Thank you Kehlani" She said before hugging me.

"Bye ma."

"Bye baby." I walked out and drove to Keem's house.

"Where was you?" Keem asked as I entered the door, closing it behind me

"Did you sober up yet?"

"Yeah, So where was you?"

"Your mothers house." I walked to the bed room

"You mad or sum?" he asked as he followed me in to the room and sat on the bed

"Yes, I'm mad Hakeem! You disrespect your mom like she's not the woman who gave birth to you. That's not okay. I know your ma-(gco)"

"You don't know how I feel!"

"Hakeem I know more than you think! I have never even got to spend time with my parent's and still would never disrespect them like you disrespect your mom. My dad died before I was born and my mom shift me off to my aunt because she got arrested and still is in jail to this day. You think I don't get mad sometimes? I get mad but I know everything happens for a reason. But when you disrespect your mom it makes me mad cause you don't know how fuckin lucky you are to have parents!"

"Kehlani, I... I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me. Talk to Cookie. I'm going home."

"Lani, Stay."

"No, you obviously need some time to yourself so I'm leaving. Bye Hakeem."I walked out and drove home.

*Next Day*

When I woke up.. It felt like I had a whole bunch of different emotions built up inside of me. Usually when I feel like this, I sing. So I'm going to Empire for some Studio Time. I got Dressed(Media 2) When I got to Empire, They was checkin ID'sI showed the guy my ID and he let me in. Cookie came in seconds after me. When the guy asked for her ID, she popped off so another guy came up. From the way she was lookin at him, I think Cookie got a crush. He let her in and she walked up to me.

"oooh Cookie got a crush."

"On Malcolm?"

"Yes"

"Shut up girl!" we walked to the studio and I got in the booth. I closed my eyes hearing the beat start

(Media)

"I can hear your laugh

It's ringing through the hallways

I can see your smile

It's what gets me through my hard days

And your words

Was suppose to get me through my heartache

Before my heartbreak

There's an emptiness that only few ever fill

And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real

And it compliments my scars that will never heal

Maybe I didn't deserve you

Maybe I just couldn't cure you

They told me that I didn't hurt you

Why do I feel like I turned you?

Maybe I don't understand it

Tell me is this how you planned it?

Did you see us so stranded

Maybe I'm too much to manage

And if you weren't gonna guide me

Why bring me into the light?

Must have done something

To make you want to run and hide

Why oh why didn't you just live your life?

And every girl needs a mother

And damn it I needed you

Instead you duck for cover

And you ran from the truth

And like kids do

You waited around for proof

Maybe I didn't deserve you

Maybe I just couldn't cure you

They told me that I didn't hurt you

Why do I feel like I turned you?

Maybe I don't understand it

Tell me is this how you planned it?

Did you see us so stranded

Maybe I'm too much to manage

Maybe I didn't deserve you... "

I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked out of the booth seeing Hakeem and Cookie sitting on the couch they stood and I was pulled in to a hug by Hakeem

"Baby, I'm sorry."

"I told you don't apologize to me. You know what you need to do" He looked at me then to Cookie

"Mom, I'm sorry. I was just mad that I never got to see you, then you just popped up. It was a lot to take in, plus you always with Jamal like you love him more than me or somethin." Cookie hugged him saying

"Baby, I love you and your brother the same. You're both my babies and I will always love you."

"I love you too." Cookie pulled away from the hug saying "What you sittin there cryin for? Get in here." I joined the hug and after about 30 seconds we all pulled away.

"Aright, we got the song. Lets take it to Lucious." Cookie said before we walked out of the room. We saw some lady with a little girl at the front trying to get in. Lucious, Anika and Jamal came out and the Lady yelled Jamal's name

"You know her" Malcolm asked Lucious

"Let her in"The lady walked closer to us and Jamal walked up to her

"Hi Jamal" She said

"Wassup Olivia. What you doin here?"

"We heard you on the radio, They will not stop playing it and Lola here knows all the words. Sing it Lola"

"Dolla dolla dolla bill" She sang all quietly. She was a cute little girl

"She wanted to meet her daddy."

OHHHH SHITTTTT!!!

I'm back at it y'all
