~Chanelle's p.o.v~
I woke up frantically to the sound of screaming. Panicking I threw my robe over my shoulders and ran to the loft. Deandre stayed behind still sound asleep. I came to the scene to see Hakeem holding Justice as she cried frantically. He shushed her and tried to calm her down but nothing was working.
"What did you do to her?!" I yell pulling her out of his grip and pushing him back.
"I ain't do nothing. I swear! I couldn't sleep and I heard her up here. She was up here crying. So I came to check up on her and she started screaming. I just tried to calm her down." He states.
I laid her in my lap as she cried on me. I rubbed her hair softly and shushed her.
"What's wrong baby girl?"I ask in a soft tone hoping to calm her. She sniffed and wiped her eyes as she looked at me.
"You had the dream again?" I ask already knowing. She nodded.
Lately she's been having these nightmares of someone taking her from her home and keeping her forever. And supposedly its some evil man in a skeleton mask. And the rest she won't tell me.
"What I tell you bout that?" I ask making her look in my eyes.
"I'm not gon let anything happen to you. Or JJ. Ain't nobody gon get to you. I promise. Remember I got you, okay?" I hug her and hold her head against my neck. I held her close before beginning to use a method that usually calms her down.
"Hush little baby don't you cry
Mamma's gonna love you all your life
And if you ever need a friend
Mamma's right there till the very end
And if you're feeling down or weak
Mamma's gonna give you all the
strength you need
There's nothing in this world that I
wouldn't do
For my little baby
cause I love you" I pushed her hair from in front of her face and kissed her cheek before continuing.
I glanced over to see Hakeem watching me amazed.
*Press play*
"It all can get so out of control
sometimes
You can lose your faith,
you can lose your mind
Lose your grip,
get stripped of your pride
Till you don't know how you're gonna
stay alive
