Maddison was standing behind her father's legs hiding.

Maddison looked up at her father then looked backed at Layla. "Lala?"
Layla nodded. Maddison immediately ran over to her. "Hey pretty girl."
Rell couldn't help but smiled at the interaction. He had only known Layla for a short period of time but he couldn't help but feel as though fate was working its magic.
Jace took Maddison and Kali. "We gonna go for some ice cream while y'all talk."
At first Maddison objected but when she heard ice cream she forgot all about Layla and her father.

Layla nodded. "I finished last week."
"And how ya summer going so far?"
"Great just working and shit. How about you and your family?"
Rell scoffed. "We good."
Layla continued to be petty. "So where's your girlfriend Chanel?"

Layla rolled her eyes. "Nobody. Let's go."
"So that's how it is now Layla," Josiah said smiling. "This yo new nigga?"
"Is that the child you lied about," she shot back.
Rell pulled Layla in front of her, hugging her from behind. "Yea I'm her new nigga. You must not be shit because I ain never heard about you."
He then began to kiss on her neck and whispered loud enough. "You ready to go baby?"
Layla nodded quickly. Her heart was beating so fast she felt like she was about to pass out.
Rell turned them around but kept Layla right under him as they walked off.
