|ASH POV|

This girl was so scared of what she had seen. I don't even know who she is, but she looked terrified.

"Hey" I called her

"I won't say anything to anyone" she said

"I'm not worried that you will, your what 17? Why are you here?" I handed her some tissue

"Why else do girls strip, my mother was sent to prison, for nothing and I had no where to go I had to do something to live" she wiped her face

"I understand that you going through hard times okay. I been there before it's not easy" I patted her back

"I'm not 17 I'm 18 well I just turned 18, last night"

"How long you been working here?"

"Almost two weeks!" I shook my head

"I seen you holding Kris hand please don't tell her, I kinda need the money for you know your a women too" she said

"Yes I know, but you shouldn't have lied" I said

I don't know what's going on with me. But I think I found what I wanna do with my life. All this time I have been talking to Kris about these stupid ass ideas I been having.

I'm a stud but at the end of the day I'm a woman underneath these clothes and this face, I have feelings, a heart, crazy emotional pain, and problems that no one helped me with growing up.

"Where are you living now" I asked

"A group home, well I was until I turned legal.... Look it's okay I don't wanna explain all my problems in one night" she joked

"Okay okay it's okay" I laughed

"You should out this on your face to help with the scares go away" she handed me a glass little bottle

"What is it?"

"It's black Shea butter, with aloe, and lavender oil" she said putting her regular clothes on

"Well thank you, what is your name?"

"Diamond..... Sorry it's Kayden" she smiled

"BABE?" KRIS came in

"You could knock" I joked

"I'm a girl, we got the same shit look" she went to pull her shirt up...." She seen Kayden

"Oops, so hey diamond" Kris said

"I told ash that I wasn't going to say anything about what happened" she said again

"You still breathing so o fig........ ouuch" Kris grabbed her side

"She coming with us for tonight!" I stood up

"I am..she is?" They said in unison
