Chapter 43Syncere’s POV: “Fuck, fuck, fuck!” I yelled, as I sped towards the hospital. I picked up my cell and saw that Shawn had called me ten times and texted me more than twenty times. I hit the call button and Shawn picked up on the first ring. “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR THE LAST HOUR! Leah and Jazz were in a car accident outside our crib. They were taken to the hospital; I don’t know how bad it is, no one would talk to me. Her parents are on their way now.” Shawn said in a worried tone. “I know I’m on my way now someone told me when I got back to the crib I had my phone on silent I was having a drink at the bar.” I lied quickly, I couldn’t tell Shawn where I really was or what I was doing there. “Well hurry up and get your ass here, I don’t want to be here when their parents get here.” Shawn said into the phone, I sighed because I hated dealing with their parents. They were like stuck up rich people who were all about image
Chapter 44 Syncere's POV: Continued “Jazzy, what are you talking about, what are you apologizing for and who is this Essence person?” Her mother asked standing on the other side of her bed moving her hair behind her ear lovingly. Jazz lowered her head and sniffed as tears fell from her eyes. “She’s this freshman that is tutoring Syn since his grades have been slipping. The president and coach demanded that he start getting tutored to bring his grades up. They chose this tutor for him not giving him a choice, and from the first moment that we met, I felt that she was trying to come between me and Syn. She and her friend started popping up everywhere that the boys were. We heard they were even going to the gym just to get their attention which was crazy because they are…really big like big. I guess I allowed my insecurities to cloud my judgment, I couldn’t just stand by while she disrespected our relationship. But earlier tonight Shawn brought her to a par
Chapter 45MondayEssence’s POV: Me and Kymoni met up at the Pit. We both had a really busy day yesterday and today so we decided to do lunch at the pit before our next class. “Damn it feels like forever since the last time I saw you.” Kiki said, as we sat down with our tray. “Shit I know, I worked a twelve-hour shift yesterday I needed the over time to make sure my bills are covered as well as some play money.” I said, as I popped a fry into my mouth. “Well, I know if you worked all day, you haven’t heard from Syn nor Shawn.” “No and I kinda don’t expect to. I told Syncere I couldn’t tutor him anymore and with what you said happened to his girl. I doubt if he even cares at this point and as for Shawn I don’t expect him to call either.” “Well, you know the dorms are talking. They said Jazz is staying with Syn while she recovers, they said she was banged up pretty bad.” Kiki said, shaking her head. My phone dinged letting me know I got a text. I picked u
Chapter 46 Essence's POV: Continued Me and President Harris both looked at each other in shock. I’m realizing that the couple is Syncere’s girlfriends’ parents. There is no way in hell, any of this is real. I know damn well this girl didn’t just put her parents on me and they are in here trying to get me banned from school. “Hold up, so yall brought me here because your daughter is insecure about me tutoring her boyfriend? More importantly I had nothing to do with why your daughter was in a car accident. Your daughter and her friend decided to attack me at a party simply because I showed up. Now you’re demanding that I only be allow to come to classes and not be on campus because your daughter is insecure.” I said, looking at them like they were crazy. “Dr. and Mrs. Taylor, there is no way I can banned a student who has paid their tuition in full, for personal issues with another student.” President Harris said, frowning at them because she thought it was s
Chapter 47Game night:Syncere’s POV: I’m fucking tired, Jazz got released yesterday and she has been complaining nonstop. She was being extra clingy; every time I leave the room she calls me within five minutes. I was afraid and happy when coach called me and summoned me to his office before the game tonight. I hope he didn’t bench me because Essence dropped me. I went to the closet to pack my bags. “Babe, where are you going, the game doesn’t start for another three hours.” Jazz said trying to sit up and winced. I hurried over, helping her get into a sitting position. “Coach wants to see me before the game tonight. I don’t even know if I will be playing tonight. I’m sure Essence told the president that she no longer wanted to tutor me. I just don’t know what she’s told them. So, coach may be summoning me to tell me I won’t be playing.” I said angrily. My life has turned completely upside down. I thought to myself. “I ‘m so sorry Syn this is all my fault. I should have ne
Chapter 48Syncere’s POV: “WE HAVE TEN MORE SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME. THE VIKINGS HAVE THE BALL, THEY WILL SURELY TRY AND GET THE BALL TO THERE STAR PLAYER SYNCERE JAMISON. HE HASN’T BEEN PLAYING UP TO HIS FULL POTENTIAL HE HAS BEEN OFF FOR MOST OF THE GAME. ONLY SHOWING HIS SKILLS IN THIS FOURTH QUARTER BRINGING HIS TEAM THAT WAS DOWN BY TWENTY, TO ONLY BEING DOWN BY TWO. LET’S HOPE HE CAN PULL THIS OFF, IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO START THE SEASON OFF WITH A LOST.” The sports announcer said, during our final time out. “Jamison, you have to get your head in the game. I need you to bring us this win, right now they think you are off your game. They think we would be a fool to trust you with the game winning shot. But we are going to play the fool tonight. Trent inbound to Syncere; you take it down the court pass back to Trent you pass it off to Shawn who they think will go for two. Shawn you drive the ball in the paint and then pass it off to Syncere for the t
Chapter 49Syncere’s POV: “What the hell is she doing here?” Leah sneered, “Bitch, I am not my friend, she’s the nice one out of the two of us. You got one more time to disrespect me, I promise, I will give your broke arm a twin. So please say something else about me or my friend again and see what happens next. Oh and that goes for wheelchair barbie too. If yall want somebody to care about your injuries, then you better make sure your mouth cares about them first.” Kymoni said trying to step around me, but Shawn grabbed her putting her behind him, grabbing her hand and putting them around his waist. She peeked her head out under his arm so it looked like he had her in a headlock. “Shawn I promise you when you let me go I’m slapping you.” Kymoni said, I didn’t care about none of this petty arguing, I need to find out what the hell Kymoni was talking about. “Kymoni, I swear I don’t know what you’re talking about I didn’t talk to anyone about Essence, especially not about having her
Chapter 50Essence’s POV: I screamed out loud when Syncere hit the game winning shot. I was looking at the game on the college channel. I couldn’t go to the game but I could still watch it from the comfort of my couch without the drama. I wanted to see how good his team was, yes his team and not Syncere. Anyway, I must admit he was a damn good player and can see why he was the number 1 draft pick. I also saw the interview he did with his girlfriend, they looked like the perfect couple. As usual she was doing the most, I swear it was so fucking weird to see a real-life mean girl. You always see girls like this on tv’s and books and you always say how you would have handled it. But to actually be living it right now and understanding that money provided those kind of females the power, to make you either go to jail and lose everything you have worked hard for, or see them get their way, just so you can accomplish your goals. That chick wasn’t worth the bail money a
Chapter 226VIP waiting room: “We are going to take momma in first and give her some alone time with Essence. Next, we will come back and get the sisters, after that, the rest of you can come in.” Big C said once everyone was settled in the waiting room. Everybody noticed his voice trembled a little bit, because he didn't know what they were going to walk into. He didn't know if he was ready for it, but he knew he had to keep it together for his momma and little brothers. The family all nodded their heads a bit nervous seeing Essence themselves. “Hello everyone, I am lead nurse Nancy, before we go in I would like to go over what you will be seeing. It is better that you know what to expect, it will take the shock away when you actually go in. “So as you know there was a small piece of bone lodged in her heart, that when moved causes cardiac arrest. So in order to prevent that from happening we have strapped her down so she won't be able to move and no one
Chapter 225Parking Lot blocks away: “Debra just sent us an email, she said Essence is out of surgery and is on the VIP floor which will give us access to see her without worrying about cameras. Apparently, the cameras are no longer active because of an incident involving a celebrity getting exposed because someone sold footage of him cheating on his wife will she was giving birth in the room next to her. So the hospital makes the patients and employees sign NDA’s and the cameras were disable. She said you will have to use the secret entrance that their clients use to get into the hospital undetected. She is going to meet us at the back entrance.” Unique's tech guy said as he pulled up the plan for the hospital. “Their tech guy is far more advance than I am, so the only way I will be able to get you in undetected, is if we do it in a less than thirty second intervals for the parking lot and getting to the elevator. Anything beyond that, their tech guy will be
Chapter 224Still at the hospital: Briana was shocked that she didn't notice that she was being followed. Briana doubted that Kymoni was confronting her because of her friend. She knew that this was all about Shawn and her being insecure, knowing that Shawn was in love with her. She can tell a jealous female a mile away, and Briana can understand why Kymoni thought she was a threat to her relationship to Shawn. I mean the ex he was in love with and had plans to marry was now back into the picture. “I didn't know I had to report to you about my whereabouts, but this isn't about where I was going or what I was doing is it? I guess I should have known that we would have to talk eventually.” Briana said smiling shaking her head because she knew she was about to get the same talks that Shawn's ex-girlfriends use to give her. They would pull her aside and tell her she needs to back off. All this happened before they started dating, she was shock to see that same thing still
Chapter 223 “There better be a good damn reason that you are pulling me away from my seminar and into the stairwell Lauren.” Doctor Taylor said when he entered the stairwell. “I’m sorry to pull you out of that seminar, but we have a big problem with Jazz.” “What about my daughter is she ok?” “Yes, she is ok physically, she was brought in by Syncere's mother because she passed out. She found out she was pregnant, that isn't the worst part. Apparently Syncere's new girlfriend was kidnapped, beaten, and shot. Before her family was able to rescue her, and brought her back here.” “Ok I don't understand what that has to do with our daughter.” Doctor Taylor said getting impatient. “Well the person who kidnapped the girl was Santiago.” Judge Taylor said looking at her husband, his eyes grew wide at hearing the name of the man who had terrorized his daughter. Doctor Taylor frowned and then asked. “What does that how to do with Jazz?” “Well apparently she got rope
Chapter 222The ICU Floor: “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking all over this hospital for you. We need to get the hell out of here. Once everything has calm down you can talk to Syncere then.” Judge Taylor said when she found her daughter on the ICU floor in the hospital. She grabbed her daughter and pulled her towards the exit. “Mom please I can't go, if I don't do what he says he will ruin me, he will ruin all of us.” Jazz said as she tried to pull away from her mother. Judge Taylor stopped dead in her tracks hearing her words. Judge Taylor knew who she was talking about. Turning towards her daughter wide eyed, “Oh my God Jazz what have you done? I told you how dangerous that boy was. I told you to leave him alone, why don't you ever listen to me damnit.” Judge Taylor said angrily “Momma please it's too late for that, I just need to do this one last thing and then we can leave. I know you told me to stay away from him, but Syn was neglectin
Chapter 221 “Who are you talking to?” Syncere asked as he walked out of the hospital searching for jazz. He heard her calling someone a monster, he wondered who she was talking about. He remembered what Martrice told him in the conference room, that's why he questioned if he was the father. He didn't know what was true and what wasn't, but if he could find out anything that could help Essence's brother catch that bastard Unique. Jazz panicked when she heard Syncere ask her who she was talking to, she wished she would have never answered her phone. She didn't know how she was going to pull off what Unique wanted her to do. “I was actually thinking and talking to myself about how much of a monster you have become. It's like I don't even know who you are. You cheated on me, lied to my face, humiliated me in front of the entire school, and then broke up with me like I was the one who did all those things. I swear ever since those girls came to our school, it's like
Chapter 220Sharon’s Hospital Room: “How dare you say that to the mother of your child, what has gotten into you. You know we don’t go around creating broken families” Sharon said and regretted her words as she looked over at her husband who was looking at her. “Mom I'm not creating anything, Once we do a paternity test and get the results then I will handle whatever comes after that. Until then I want to focus on making sure Essence gets better and heals completely. Now I came here to check on you not talk about this again.” Syncere said, angrily. “Well you have no choice but to deal with this, even if you question if you're the father. That should be good enough for you to treat my daughter with some compassion, empathy, and care.” Judge Taylor said, scolding Syncere for his rudeness. “Syn why should I take a paternity test, you know you're the only one I have been with since the first night we met. Why are you treating me like some whore off the streets. Y
Chapter 219 Conference room in the hospital: “According to the list of names, there’s only one doctor that is apart of the team that is under that bastards thump. We can't just pull him without knowing if doing so will tip Unique off, that we are on to him. I say we call in our own someone we can trust to be a part of the team and keep an eye on the guy. Lucky for us he is in the same field so it won't look suspicious, families who have connections always call in their best people.” Martrice said as they mapped out a plan. They had been in the conference room for at least three hours, Eula's brothers were in charge of keeping their sisters safe and out of trouble. They would come and give any updates on Essence. So far there was only news that made them nervous, she had flat lined twice. They manage to get her heart started again, but if she flat lined again, they would stitch her up and go back in once her body had a chance to rest. The brothers, made sur
Chapter 218 “What the hell is going on with you Sharon!? Are you trying to ruin your campaign, you know that more than eighty percent of your voters are lower income families. If it gets out about how you have been treating the Nelson's you will lose this race.” Thomas said angrily, as they waited for a doctor to come and repair her teeth, luckily one of their friends knew a dentist that could come in and fix her teeth. “What's wrong with me? Ever since we have met those people you and our son have been drooling over them. You are allowing our son to throw away his entire life and career over some fetish. He is about to be become a father and is planning on denying his own baby. I have been the only one trying to make sure our son doesn't ruin his life. He is still young and you know very well that at his age he can make decisions that could ruin his life.” “Our son isn't me, and we raised him to be a strong, respectful, kind man. He has told you that
