"555-4982.555-4982.555-4982"
i repeated dialing the number,it rang three times before the line picked up.

"what do you want brenda?"
my dad voice said through the phone angrily.

"daddy?"
he gasped quietly.
"aaliyah.how did you get her phone?"

"she left it here,with-with jaden.daddy,he locked miles in the closet again and miles said he can't breathe.i don't know how to get him out"

"ok baby listen to me,go out the phone back before you get caught ok,i'm gonna be there in a few minutes ok-"

"you took the phone?"
i turned around seeing jaden in front of me.

"what i done told you about touching my phone?"
he came towards me.

"i only grabbed it for a second-"

"you wanna lie? only grown people get to lie.are you grown aaliyah?"
he asked me.

i dropped the phone on the floor,my eyes watering.
"aaliyah! aaliyah!"
the phone vibrated.

"no."
i backed up against the wall stopping.
he laughed.

"you sure are acting like it? you wanna know what i do to little girls who think they grown?"

i shook my head sliding down the wall,tears falling off my cheeks.
"imma show you."

he grabbed me pulling me into him.
"no! no! get off!"

end of flashback*

"aaliyah?"

i sat up in my bed looking towards the door.
my dad was standing there dressed.

i rubbed my eyes.
"what time,what time is it?"

"it's almost two,you've been asleep all morning."
he said walking all the way into my room.

i looked around tugging on my hoodie.
"where is miles?"
i blinked.

"at school.he had an early practice,their first game is tomorrow,you going?"

i shrugged honestly not knowing.
"i don't know,i have a lot of homework,so."

he rubbed my head,flattening out some curls.
"you're having those dreams again aren't you?"

i stalled.
i had these dreams at least once a month.
and when they came around,i could never get any sleep.

"no,i guess i'm just extra tired today."
he nodded looking around my room which was a little messy due to me being busy.

"i'm going to the store,to get some groceries and then i'm going to pick up miles from practice,you wanna come?"

i licked my dry lips rubbing my eyes again.
"i don't know"

"we need to talk."
he said seriously.
i tilted my head confused.
"about what?"

"about yesterday"
he sighed.
"come on,get up,shower and get dressed,i'm leaving in thirty."
