Umma have to kill this nigga... I gotta see Amour forreal. She makes me happy. For the first time in years... She made me happy. And not lonely. I'm back at the safe house for the first time in... A while.

"What's wrong, X?" Lélé asked walking in.

"I'm aight." I lied.

"Ok... 'cause you look kinda down... Tell me when you wanna talk." She gave me a hug and walked out.

I grabbed my pad and pen and got to work.

I slammed the pad down on the nightstand and grabbed my phone, dialing Amour's number. I need to know if she's ok. If they hurt her... If something ever happened to my baby I'd die.

It went straight to voicemail. Is this my fault? I tried her 9 more times and sent her 26 text messages, then left 7 voicemails. I feel guilty... For not telling her what happened with her mother yesterday. I won't say between us because I'm not keeping it there. I need to talk to her somehow... At school!

"Léah!" I called.

"Yes?" She smiled walking in.

"You like it here... Right?" I asked.

"Yes... Why?" 

"How you feel about staying? For good... With me." I asked.

"I don't know... School." She frowned. "But I love America."

"There's a school for us to go to. We gone sign up later on today."

"Us?" She asked raising her brows.

"I'm going to school. With Amour."

"How is she doing?"

"Eh. I'm not sure."

"What you mean?" She asked sitting next to me.

I explained to her what happened... Not even 5 hours ago.

"Dang... So she can't see you no more?"

"I don't think so." I looked down.

"Do you know what to do?"

"No. Not at all."

"I'll got to her house... And ask to see her."

"Now?" I asked.

"Yes. Now. Drop me off around the corner... Or let me use August's car."

"You can't drive baby girl."

"Humph." She crossed her arms. "Well let's just go."
