It's so Hard to Say Goodbye

When she sees Clinton standing there, Aaliyah's body becomes stiff and she trembles in fear. Clinton walks towards her and she is unable to go anywhere because he is standing in door way. He reaches her and raises his hand to hit her but stops halfway. When he looks at Aaliyah,he sees her covering her face with fear. He takes her and gives her a hug to calm her down, 


" Forgive me my love,I shouldn't have raised my hand you. Just that I got very angry because you told a lie. Good thing is I stopped myself on time so now don't cry" 


When he sees that Aaliyah has calmed down, Clinton then let's go of her and gives her a very tough punishment. One that is difficult to endure, 


" I forgive you for lying. I can't stay mad at you for so long because I love you but I must punish you for that. I want you to embarrass Quan when he comes over this evening or else one of the people you love so much will get hurt" Clinton threatens Aaliyah so that she can't refuse his ultimatum.
