Thank you so much to my sweetheart TheEnigmaticJesse for the aesthetics❤️❤️

" Nia "

"What do you want Leo"

"I just wanted you to know I'm back"

"So?"

"I want to be part of my daughter's life"

"So you finally realized you have a daughter 5 years later"

I tried to walk away but he roughly pulled me by my hand (dickhead)....

"It's rude to leave when someone is talking to you" he looked angry...

Ryan walked to us he saw how scared I looked ...that creep caught me off guard.

"Nia are you okay"

"I'm ....I'm okay th ...th..thanks Ryan"

"Can you excuse us, man?" Ryan said

Ryan gave him a death stare and told him to go, Leo has always been a coward so he left.

"Thanks, Ryan"

"You're welcome ,is that Aros dad?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Sort of "

I laughed...

"Please can you uhm"

"It's not my place but if you're asking me you should tell Rob he's going to be a problem I can tell, men like him and Luke love causing problems "

"I haven't met Luke "

"Consider yourself lucky "

I laughed and said goodbye as he walked away with his takeaways.

"Bye Nia"

"Bye Ryan thanks again"

My day was fucked up I broke 10 glasses my hands were trembling, it was a long day I needed a hug.

Rob called me a few times and I spoke to him he said he's almost home and I can't wait to see him, I looked at my phone no messages from Jasmine I hope she's okay she hasn't responded it's 5:30 , I take my apron off and got to sunny to fetch Aro.

We drove to Robbies apartment and he's home thank God Aro goes to the bedroom to play because Rob brought her toys and stuff here.

"Baby what's wrong "

I started crying... I hate the fact that Leo makes me feel this weak....

"Leo came to my workplace today he said he wants Aro"

"What" he was angry I've never seen him so angry.

He took my hands and saw the small bruise Leo left when he grabbed me.

"Did he do this, was he ever abusive towards you Nia"

I shook my head then nodded...

"We fought over some girl and he slapped me once it only happened once so I let it go"

He made some calls but I couldn't hear a thing I started having all these memories. Leo can't come here and expect to be in my child's life when he chose to leave.

What will I tell Aro how will I explain this to a 5year old.

Rob was quiet he was making food for us and I saw him feed aro then tucked her in...I smiled cause he's the light in my dark life...my fucked up life...

He came next to me and pulled me closer and I lied on his chest we didn't talk he didn't know what to say he knows that as much as he hates it but Leo is her father and she deserves to know the truth even if he was never an active dad.

We can't lie to her or confuse her I made choices for my baby and now I don't know what's the way forward I was so used to living without him that I never made plans to allow him back into our lives.

We both fell asleep on the couch....woke up around 2 am and still no word from Jas I know something is wrong she's always talkative I'll call her parents to check if they have seen her.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

8 am we woke up fuck we were late I showered with Aro Robbie laughed at how I ran around like a headless chicken? He has time to laugh?

I gave him one look and he went to make our food which we enjoyed then left...

I got to work late today everything was just messed up urghhh my hair was a mess and I tied a messy bun and fixed my uniform and took my notepad to help my first customer.

This guy looks like a creep and he keeps staring at me, but I ignored him and was busy it's been 6 hours why the hell is this clown still here he had breakfast now he's having lunch is he going to have dinner too? I told Mr. Mansoor about him and he immediately went to his table to talk to him he looked at me and waved and I smiled and went to the stock room.

I called Robbie and he answered immediately

"Hi baby do you miss me"

"So much.....how's your day"

"It's okay I guess kinda boring "

"What time do you knock off "

"8 pm"

"I'll go fetch Aro and stay with her till you knock off my mom can't wait to meet her"

"Uhmmm okay"

"What's wrong"

"I Dont want your mom having the wrong idea about me and us "

"She knows about us babe she knows WE have a daughter now please try to enjoy work I love you and will see you later"

"Love you too bye"

It was around. 5 pm and that creepy man has left thank God I was busy and couldn't wait to soak my feet and have a nice meal we're the hell is jasmine...I called her

"Jas"

"What"

"Why didn't you come in today are you okay?"

"Uhmm I wasn't feeling well so I'm at Tims"

"What's wrong" I could hear him ask who called

"Babe I have to go please kiss my princess for me umm see you guys next week"

"What the hell jas"

Before I could say anything else she hung up ,what's wrong with her I'm really worried I Dont even know where Tim lives how do I look for him. It's now 8 pm sharp and when I went outside Robbie was there with Aro sleeping in the back seat covered in a very pretty Elsa blanket I've never seen before must be Miss Rod.

We got to my place and I put her down she was fast asleep...

He brought me food his mom cooked and it was delicious her veggies tasted like heaven I enjoyed the food with wine when I was done I washed my plate and went to shower..

I found Robie sleeping on the couch he was tired dealing with a toddler you need at least vodka and coffee ,I woke him up and I took him to my room because Aro was sleeping in Jasmine room....i went back to sleep with Aro because she's not ready to sleep alone yet...

The morning came fast I had to make breakfast for my people when they were done they left me , taking Aro to school and he would be at the studio something about a single he wants to drop next week I cant wait to hear it...I inspired it so I wonder...

The door unlocked and that creepy guy walked in I froze how did he get my keys what the hell just as I was about to have a heart attack jas walked in she froze when she saw me...

I was shocked not because of her but what I saw...

She had a black eye and busted lip she limped a bit what's happening... They greeted me and she introduced us.

"Tim it's Nia"

I ignored him and asked her

"What happened to your face jas?"

She just looked at me for that moment I didn't recognize my friend.

" uhn I got in a fight with someone "

I didn't want to push her more so I just nodded and told her I'm gonna go lie down I couldn't risk it so I locked my door and sat on my bed after a few minutes I saw someone trying to open my door but it was locked so they backed off and right after that I heard  the front door being locked I went to check  they we're gone.

There was a note on the counter...

I'll be fine Nia I love you and will tell you'll about it when I come back please Dont tell anyone...kiss my princess for me❤️

My heart broke for her I didn't know if I should call her dad and have him break that assholes skull I didn't know how to handle this so I decided to call Robbie and tell him , dealing with a victim of abuse hurts because if they are not ready to set themselves free there's nothing you can do but watch them lose themselves.....

Robbie came late we spoke about Jas he made me realize I can't force her to do anything, but I'll be here for her because she will need me.

How am I going to cope knowing she's being abused but I can't help her ?
