Chapter 92 Syncere's POV: ContinuedAt the hospital: I just wanted to tell them everything, to get it over with, so I started from when we saw Kymoni getting harassed by a guy at the party. I told them that, me and Shawn just wanted to go outside to make sure the girls got to their car safely. I had told them how I told Jazz and Leah to stay in the club, while me and Shawn went outside to find Essence and Kymoni. Then I told them that we didn't know when or why Jazz and Leah were outside in the first place. I told them when we got outside, we saw that Kymoni and Essence were getting attacked by the guy that was stalking Kymoni in the club, and how me and Shawn jumped in to protect them from getting hurt. I told them that when the security guards broke up the fight is when we first saw that Jazz and Leah had come outside. They were trying to get us to my truck before the cops showed up, because the coach would kill us if we were caught up in a fight that got the cops called
Chapter 93If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV:“WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS OFFICER ROUNDHOUSE? WHY ARE THEY HERE? THEY’RE THE REASON OUR GIRLS ARE IN THERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES! THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP AS ACCOMPLICES TO THE CRIMINAL WHO SHOT OUR GIRLS, THEY'RE NOT VICTIMS!” “Officer sir, is this how you're going to conduct this meeting? Are you the one in charge, or is she? Because if she is, then I think me and my friend should leave and wait until another time to give our statements. Oh and by the way, you're welcome because I'm the one who made sure your daughters didn't bleed out on the streets. I'm the reason they are able to be in a surgical room and not in a fucking morgue.” Kymoni said to Mrs. Taylor who gasped and started crying at the mention of what could have happened. Leah’s mother was also crying at the mention of what could have happened. “Damnit Kymoni did you have to say it like that, why don't you think before you speak sometime.” Shawn
Chapter 94If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Fuck!” Shawn said getting up pacing the floor. Essence laughed. “Nah you should say, I fucked up, instead.” Essence said chuckling. She knew Syncere was staring at her, but she didn't want to deal with him either. “Shawn Haynes, you're up next.” Officer Duncan said, coming in. “Where is my friend?” Essence asked when Kiki didn't come back into the room. “She said she needed some air, and will meet us back in the conference room.” Officer Duncan said, as Shawn's shoulders slumped knowing she just didn't want to be near him. After the Officer and Shawn left it was just Essence and Syncere left in the now tiny ass room with no window. Essence got up and went to the far side of the room to act like she was reading what was on the bulletin board. “Essence, I'm sorry.” Syncere said as he came up behind her, pulling her close, bending down so their faces were close together, he needed to feel her warmth. He now
Chapter 95If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Now I hope that you not trying to attack my daughter, in front of the police.” A man said as he walked into the conference room as everyone stopped to see who had interrupted their meeting. “Who the hell are you?” Mrs. Taylor asked. “DADDY!” Kiki said in shock then turned to Essence. “You called my daddy?” “Yes, because I knew you lied, when I asked did you call. “Yes, she called and I am glad she did.” Kiki's dad said walking into the room confidently. “Well that makes one of us who's glad because apparently my daughter didn't think she should have called her mother to let her know she had been attacked.” As Essence's mom walked into the room followed by three tall country-built men walking in behind her. “MOMMA! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM!” Essence said pointing at her brothers who all held a playful smile that Essence knew wasn't playful at all. “Oh god, momma why did you let Big C bring Betsy?” Ess
Chapter 96If them hospital Wall could gossip! POV: Continued “Officer there is no need to go through all that we found both men a couple hours ago. Crazy thing is once we found them they were beaten pretty bad. They volunteered to tell you everything that happened last night, if we gave them a ride to the hospital to get checked out. We agreed but they had to ride in the back of my truck with Trina, and they had an accident on the way here. I have a sign saying don't play with the turtle. Apparently, they didn't take it seriously and one ended up losing his trigger finger and the other lost a hand. We have them in a bag for you to get their prints I'm sure it will match the prints on the gun we have as well as the hand will match the one that was wrapped around Kiki’s throat last night.” Big C said as he held up a baggy with a hand and a finger in it . Everyone gasped in shock, accept Kymoni and Essence who just held their heads in their hands in embarrassment.
Chapter 97Syncere's POV: I don't know what the hell was going on. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't even process it. As soon as we walked out of the conference room, we found out what room Leah and Jazz were in and went to their shared suite. Dr. Taylor pulled some strings and got them a private suite that they are sharing. As soon as the parents entered the room they ran to the girls; the mothers were all crying, hugging, and fussing over them making sure they were comfortable. The girls loved the attention, they relished in it, me and Shawn stayed back watching the scene. I knew I was still reeling from the meeting in the conference room. The look on Shawn’s face told me that he was probably thinking the same thing. Hearing Essence and Kymoni's name brought me out of my thoughts. “I am so sorry that we couldn't make sure that everyone that was responsible for this wasn't charged. But I promise that I will make sure that they are not allowed to go back to that
Chapter 98Syncere's POV: Continued “What the hell does that have to do with me and my dinner? I didn't say anything to those young ladies, because I didn't think for a minute that they had anything to do with what happen to Jazz and Leah. I care about those young ladies as well, but I will not blame innocent girls of a crime that I don't feel like they had a part in. Especially after I saw the state they were in and the fact that they stayed behind and helped our girls. I will be saying thank you to them and not interfering with the police doing their jobs and I will expect you to stay out of it as well is that clear?” My dad said to my mother, he didn't pull any punches, especially when my mother cross the line. He usually allows her to speak freely, and because he didn't like to get into women business. But when mother questioned him, he would speak his mind bluntly, my mother knew it and cross the line. So when he made his decision clear, she simply bowed her he
Chapter 99Friday:Essence Kymoni, and family: “Momma why did you invite Syncere, Shawn, Unique, and Anthony to Sunday dinner? How do you know we have enough food to feed everybody, you always be inviting the entire world to eat at our house.” Essence said as they finally left the hospital. She was still reeling from everything that happened earlier, she was glad her brothers showed up and caught von and his friend. Her and Kiki said that they wanted to be adults and not have to call home to our family for help, but they had to admit that they needed it. They weren't rich well known like Syncere and his girlfriend and friends’ parents, but they weren't poor like Mrs. Taylor thought she was. She was in that college on scholarship, not because she was poor and couldn't pay, if need be, but why pay for college when I could go for free. Once they had finally settled everything and cleared their names. Syncere's father came in and apologized to them and thanked her an
Chapter 123Homecoming Week! Tuesday part 3Campus Yard: “Hey, where did yall go they are about to start the first game. We need to make sure Leah can get up those sta….” Jazz was saying pushing Leah, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Essence and Kymoni. Before she could say something to them, she spotted Nyasia and Maya behind them. Jazz decided to use them to take out her anger from seeing Essence and Syncere standing entirely too close for her liking. “What are yall doing here, shouldn't yall be somewhere practicing the routine. I saw yall at practice earlier and yall are going to embarrass the entire squad. I refuse to let yall make us look sloppy and messing up the entire show.” Jazz said, as she walked up to Nyasia and Maya who was looking like Jazz was about to slap them in the face. “First off, they are not your kids and if your other cheerleaders aren't practicing than you don't tell them they need to practice. Secondly, I can tell you right now the c
Chapter 121Homecoming Week: Tuesday part 2Campus Yard: “Hey, we were hoping to see you guys out here, but we didn't think we would because of so many people out running around .” Nyasia said, her and Maya walking towards the group. “Hey what's up yall I was going to call you guys once we got done here. We went to the mall yesterday and I think we found some outfits we could use, we think you are going to love them. Are you guys participating in this competition?” Essence asked walking towards the girls. “Uh, no we aren't trying to make a fool of ourselves. We know we could never win any of these games.” Maya said, shyly looking around at everybody getting ready to compete. “I done told yall to stop worrying about what everybody thinks. None of these people got you where you are in life, nor are they supplying you with anything you need in this life to live, so why do yall care about people that don't do shit for you. No body is going to accept you until you accept y

Chapter 119 Homecoming week! Part 4The Mall: “Hey what's up Jazz and Leah, I was just thanking your boyfriends for saving my girls and friend. I am glad that they were there to help, I got to admit yall have found some good dudes.” Unique said, breaking the tense silence that had us all in a chokehold. “Yea, they are, they have always been that way even when some people act recklessly. It could have ended badly, unfortunately the people who had nothing to do with it are the ones who got hurt. But me and Leah trying to get pass it.” Jazz said looking at Unique, but they all knew who she was talking about. “You are absolutely right, I am sure you know a lot about reckless behavior. Correct me if I'm wrong friend, but didn't both of them ended up in slings and wheelchairs for talking and being reckless, right?” Essence asked looking at Kymoni. “Yea friend I think it was Leah who acted without thinking the first time. Then they put themselves in a situation tha
Chapter 118Homecoming week: Monday eveningThe Mall: “I can't believe I let you talk me into coming to the mall with them . We were supposed to look for shirts only and not a week’s worth of outfits.” Syncere said as they followed Jazz and Leah as they went into yet another store. “Hell I thought the same damn thing, if it wasn't for the fact that Leah is in a wheelchair I would have let their asses ride the bus. We need to get outta here because once I drop Leah's ass off, I am going to try and get Kymoni to talk to me. I refuse to give up on her, after homecoming I am telling Leah that she will have to figure this shit out on her own. I’m grateful for what she did for me, she said herself she doesn't want me to do things for her because of what she did, so I am going to take her advice. I am not going to go back to how I treated her before, but I won't be the first person she call when she needs something. If I want to be with Kymoni Leah has to be completely out o
Essence and Kymoni: Campus:Homecoming week Monday continued: “Ok so now we only have five days to turn those girls into cheerleaders, all while spying, on the cheerleaders trying to see what they have planned for them. And we're supposed to do all this during homecoming week ,where this campus is full of people. I swear you really know how to fuck up a week, in two point five seconds, I told you that you have a damn competitive problem I promise I’m bringing this shit up in the next counseling session we don't fucking want to do.” Kymoni said as we leave Maya and Nyasia's dorm room. Because if we are going to help, we had to go to their rooms to see what outfit that the mean girls have them putting on. Essence already knew it would be something fucked up to make them look bad. “Stop the bullshit, you wanted to help them girls just as much as I do especially after you saw the cheer outfits.” Essence said as they both walked out of the dorms. Kymoni rolled he
Syncere, Shawn, Jasmine, and Leah:Campus yard: “I can't believe you Syn, how could you embarrass me in front of them? Did you really break up with me so you can start dating that big ass whale.” Jazz said angrily, crying as she stormed out of the building. She was loud and people were starting to look at them wondering what was happening. “Jazz stop being so fucking loud and stop calling Essence names. That’s the childish bullshit I was talking about. You started on that high school mean girl shit, if I date Essence or any other girl it has nothing to do with me breaking up with you. I told you that I wasn't liking how you were changing and then I find out you’re failing your classes. Why huh? Are you banking on my career? Because when I met you, you were a straight A student.” Syncere said as they all walked across the campus, it was homecoming week and the campus was crowded with different activities going on. “I can't believe you think that I am some ki
Chapter 115The Meeting: part 3In the Conference Room: Essence, Kymoni Syncere, Shawn, Jasmine, Leah, and Mrs. Reid: Leah reached over and hugged Jasmine as she cried, Syncere looked at Jasmine and the guilt hit him hard. He didn't intend to say anything in the meeting but when the counselor asked, he wanted Essence to know that he kept his word and broke up with Jazz. “I’m sorry it wasn't my intentions to hurt or embarrass you, I just wanted to make sure I was honest with the counselor.” Syncere said as his excuse, Essence just sat there wide eyed, mouth open in shock. Kymoni literally had to close her mouth. Jasmine looked between Essence and Syncere, her crying turned into anger in an instant. “YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS YOU BROKE UP WITH ME SO YOU COULD BE WITH THAT FAT BITCH! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SYN, HOW COULD YOU I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE ENTIRE CAMPUS WHEN THEY FIND OUT YOU DUMPED ME FOR HER! YOU'RE G
Chapter 114 The meeting: part 2 The Conference Room: Essence, Kymoni Syncere, Shawn, Jasmine, Leah, and Mrs. Reid: “Hello everyone, I am the school counselor , my name is Mrs. Reid. I'm sure President Harris informed you of the schedule and the general reasons behind, why you are required to attend these group counseling sessions. But I want to get everyone's name, major, and what year they are in thus far, starting with the gentlemen. I know they say ladies first, but since we out number you I will allow you to go first.” Mrs. Reid said smiling trying to break the ice. She looked at Syncere and Shawn to start. “Well my name is Syncere Jamison, My major is Sport Management, and I'm in my third year.” Syncere answered. “My name is Shawn Haynes and I am an Athletic Training major, and I am also in my third year.” “My name is Jasmine Taylor, I'm a Criminal justice major, and I’m in my third year.” “My name is Leah Mason, I'm a Psychology Major, and I’m in my th
