Next day

Friday 30th November

"Yeah I'm walking up the stairs right now," Kamiya spoke to Robyn through the phone and she had Aaliyah on her right hip since she was walking to slow for Kamiya's liking.

"So how you doing, I've been so busy I ain't been able to chat with you for a hot sec," Robyn felt as if she was neglecting her sister when she really needed her the most and felt bad about it but her starting her new job kept her busy 24/7 she barely had time for herself or her family.

"I'm nervous, I haven't seen him in months he could have changed a whole lot Ro, he may not even want me here," Kamiya began to ramble on with her emotions getting the best of.

"Trust me he wants you there, no matter his actions or his words he needs you Kam and he loves you," Robyn clarified for her before she let her mind wander to all different scenarios and Kamiya turning back around before she even opened the door.

"Thanks, I hope it goes well, I'm bout to go in now I'll speak to you later, love you,"

"Love you too, and my little Li," Kamiya ended the call right before she opened the glass the door to the centre. She took a deep breath before she stepped foot into the centre hoping for the best.

"You ready mamas," She looked down at Aaliyah with a smile on her face as Aaliyah looked up at her mother nodding her head rapidly ready to see him.

"Hello welcome to Figure our Rehabilitation Centre," The receptionist greeted them with a smile on her face as she got her fingers ready to type in any information that Kamiya may need for her stay.

"I'm here visiting Kairo White,"

"How are you related to him and can I see your ID please," Kamiya handed the lady her ID and told her that she was his girlfriend before the lady approved of her.

"He's in room 468, that's on the 3rd floor, turn left once you come out the elevator and he should be there on the left side," She guided Kamiya to where the elevator was with her hands while she spoke the directions to Kairos room.

"Thank you, have a nice day,"

"Have a nice day too, if you need any help you know where to find me,"

Kamiya stepped onto the elevator feeling like a ton of bricks had just fallen upon her shoulders as she was just seconds away from meeting Kairo. It had been months since she had seen him so she couldn't tell you if his facial features had changed or nothing. She didn't know if he was as skinny as he was before he went in there or was he back to his healthy self.

It felt as though she was on the elevator for 5 minutes when it was in fact only 10 seconds, and when the doors finally opened she didn't even want to get out. It took Aaliyah tapping her many times for her to snap back to reality and finally move her legs off of the elevator.

She strolled through the halls browsing each door to find his number when she finally found it she told Aaliyah to knock instead.

"Come in," Kairo instructed, she hadn't heard that voice in months it almost sounded foreign to her but she knew she would never fully forget what his voice sounded like. Her palms began to get sweaty so she put Aaliyah down on the ground. She felt her heart race speed up as her hand inches towards the door handle.

"I said you can come in," Kairo spoke again as he sucked his teeth to whoever he thought was behind the door.

She finally got the door opened after that letting Aaliyah go in first. When Aaliyah finally saw her dad she screamed in excitement and ran full blast towards him, Kairo lifted his head up from the book he's reading and once he saw that it was his daughter his arms spread apart as he held a wide teeth smile on his face waiting for her to run into his arms.

"Dada," Aaliyah screamed and giggled as Kairo spun her around for a good minute happy to have his daughter in his arms.

"Daddy missed you so much mama," He felt a teardrop from his eyes as he kissed all over Aaliyah's face feeling as though this was a dream.

"I wissed you too dada," She kissed his lips solidifying Kairo to burst out in tears hugging her tightly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Kamiya simply stood in the corner of the room with her body leaned against the wall watching the interaction between the two.

"It's been 5 fucking months Kamiya since I last saw you or my child, what's up with that," Kairo finally acknowledged her after a while of catching up and playing with Aaliyah. He gave her the table that was in her bag so she would be occupied since he knew him and Kamiya were going to be exchanging a few words.

"I'm sorry," Was all Kamiya could say because she didn't really have a valuable excuse as to why she hadn't seen Kairo.

"Miss me with that bullshit, you couldn't even come to visit a nigga when I needed you the most, I prayed damn near every day for you and my daughter to come and see me because I thought something was wrong after you sent me that letter," He expresses starting to be tired of this conversation before it even began.

Nearly 6 months ago Kamiya had written Kairo a long detailed letter about everything you could imagine. She wrote about how she felt about Kairos addiction, the Nick situation even the Armani situation, Kamiya truly felt guilty for what was happening to her family. When Kairo first read the letter he was still in his crack faze and was currently going through withdrawals so he didn't really care about anything she was saying. However about 2 months later he read it again and by the time Kairo had finished reading the letter he was in tears, he tried to reach out to Kamiya but she ignored his and the centres call.

"I just needed to get away for awhile K, there was so much going on I just couldn't deal with it,"

"That still doesn't give you an excuse for keeping my daughter away from me,"

"You're not listening K, you weren't in a good head space yourself, you weren't fit enough for your daughter to see you in the state you were in,"

"Yeah I understand that but you never gave me a chance, I've been clean for nearly 4 months but you would know that because you never came, you had me questioning myself so much, would I ever see you or my daughter again because you don't even speak to ma or pops anymore so I didn't know anything, you know how much that shit hurt me," Everything Kairo stated was true after Kamiya dropped the letter she also dropped off the earth to most people. The only people she kept in contact with was Robyn, Asia, Destiny, Deshawn and surprisingly to them both Armani.

She temporarily moved out of her and Kairos house mainly because it brought old memories back up and moved into a small 3 bedroom apartment but turned one of the rooms into her own office space.

"I didn't know, I'm sorry it's just that I was so drained with everything, you always being high on crack plus the issue with Asia and my brother, it was all getting to me especially with what Robyn was going through and she needed someone to lean on, I was there for everyone but no one was there for me, so that's why I left,"

Over this past year, some much things had happened to every single one in the most traumatic way possible but for Kamiya, she had to put her feelings aside for the most part and help her family out with their issues. It's not like they didn't acknowledge Kamiya's issues it was that everyone they asked Kamiya would lie and say she was fine because she knew they all had a lot on their plate already so they decided not to press the issue.

"I guess we both need to work on ourselves huh," Kairo had calmed down as he softly spoke knowing everyone else situation and wondering how hard it must have been on her.

"Yeah we do, but besides that, you look great, you're becoming your usual self I'm glad," She decided to change the topic not wanting to dwell on it anymore and wanted a more happy conversation.

"Yeah I have been clean for nearly 4 months, they said I can be released by the end of the year if I keep it up," she happily replied with a smile on his face looking forward to the day he came out of this 4 by 4 space.

"That's good to hear, now all you gotta do is face your problems without any crack,"

"Yeah, I hear you, ready to get the fuck out and go back to normal,"

"Normal as in going back to what you used to do," Kamiya had to ask for clarification because she thought that this would've been a wake-up call for him. She wished Kairo would leave his illegal business alone in the past and solely focus on his fathers' club and later in the future open up a chain of place.

"That's if pops let me," He sighed thinking about how his father reacted to Kairo and his addiction especially the way he found out. Kairo had stolen damn near 500 grams of cocaine from the shipment, even though it was only a small amount compared to what they bring in to Omar stealing is stealing.

Some people had their suspicions that it was Kairo and voiced it to Omar but he was in so much denial that his son wouldn't do any dumb shit like that again he didn't believe them. Well, a few later reality hit Omar as Kairo had stolen more cocaine from him but this time he was too high to even try and hide from the cameras so Omar spotted him in the surveillance.

As soon as he saw Kairo in the camera he stormed out of his office heading over to Kairos house, but he as too high to open the door for Omar resulting in him just bursting in the house to see Kairo about to snort another line.

From there all Omar saw was red, he dashed over to Kairo and knocked the whole table over while screaming in his face. He punched Kairo in his face resulting in blood to gush out of his eyebrow that had split from the hard impact, but Omar didn't stop there he continued to punch until Kain had decided to pop up to Kairos house before he made it to the trap and was in for a surprise when he saw his father beating on his older brother who wasn't even fighting back at this point.

By the time Kain had pushed his father of his brother his face was all messed up and blood gushed out of every wound Omar had created.

Omar was so mad he didn't even care that he did what he did, however when Saniya had left him on the couch for 3 consecutive nights and lectured him on his actions he saw where he was wronged and apologised to Kairo.

"Yeah I don't know about that, maybe it's for the best,"

"What you mean it's for the best, me operating the business ain't got shit go with my addiction,"

"Yes it does, you had easy access to the drugs that's why you sniffed so many, you ain't have to pay or nothing, you stole from your own pops knowing you ain't gone get killed because you're his son," Kamiya tried to show him how him being in the game had a big impact on how much drugs he consumed on a daily, which was true, Kairo had access to every single drug they sold so taking it was as easy as your ABC's.

"But I'm not an addict now, hold on baby," He got interrupted when Aaliyah started to tug at his legs trying to show him the dead iPad that was in his hands.

"But you could easily fall into that again Kairo,"

"I know what I've lost during my addiction so I ain't gone jeopardise it again," He finally lifted Aaliyah's impatient self on his hip when she started to hit Kairo because he didn't pick her up straight away when she wanted him to.

"Look dada, dead," She shoved the iPad right in his face knocking it on his nose in the process.

"Mama I know, gimme a minute while I talk to mummy," He took the iPad out her hand and threw it onto his bed softly. Aaliyah opened her mouth in shock as she watched her dad throw it, she started kicking while in his arms and reached her arms in the direction of it whimpering.

"Why she acting like this," Kairo ignited Aaliyah's tantrum and focused on Kamiya with a confused face.

"She been acting like that for a while now, I just ignore her then eventually she'll stop,"

"My mama woulda beat me by now," He laughed thinking about how his mother would beat him if he ever tried to throw a tantrum and his father would stand there chuckling at him as he stood there crying.

"At first I tried that but she just be even worse after I hit her, all she want its attention and I don't give it to her,"

"She still use her nappy," Kairo felt like a deadbeat father asking that question, he felt as though if he didn't even know a simple question like that what else didn't he know.

"No she stopped a while back, she just starts walking funny and say pee-pee when she needs to,"

"But at b-," he began to ask but when Aaliyah hit him in his eye then his mouth forced him to stop talking.

"Little girl if you don't stop I'm not playing," He sternly stated putting her down as well but that caused even more chaos. Aaliyah stomped her feet in anger and began to punch her father's leg as she cried with tears now streaming down her face.

"Didn't I say stop," Kairo have a pop on her leg but it only caused more fuel within Aaliyah.

"Don't.hit.me," She demeaned and with everyone word she hit him harder every time.

"Aaliyah stop it now before I come over there," Kamiya intervened as she held a scowl in her face.

"NO, dada being mean,"

"Stop it now and I mean it," Kamiya said again as she walked closer to them.

"No you stap it, dada say sorry," She demanded to her father as she looked up at him with a scowl.

"Little girl, if you do," He began to start his rampage on her but was interrupted by the fire alarm going off in the centre.

Both Kamiya and Kairo looked at each other in confusion before Kairo picked up Aaliyah who had finally stopped talking, grabbed Kamiya's hand before they fast-paced out of his room heading towards the staircase.
