Chapter 107If what could possibly go wrong was a person: Syncere was pissed, what the fuck was Jazz thinking. He couldn't believe that she would bring that shit up without talking to him first and what would possess her to do this shit at Essence's house. “Baby, I know it's a surprise, but I couldn't hold it in any longer. This is a new start for me; getting shot really made me put everything in perspective for me. I don't want to keep secrets from our family anymore. I hope you're not upset with me.” Jazz said crying when she saw Syncere was staring at Essence. “Hold on, I don't care about none of the crap you just said, who the hell gave you, my address? I didn't invite you and yes me and you don't get along so you knowing my address is a problem especially if it was given without my permission. Sorry for cussing momma.” Essence said interrupting the congratulations party. Her momma looked at her and saw her feelings were threatening to come out so s
Chapter 108The Cleanup:Essence's apartment: “What type of cockamamie stuff was that? I have never seen such shameless young ladies like that before. The fact that their mothers just stood there and allowed their daughters to come into this house and disrespect the owner, that's the devils work right there. I'm glad I live in a town where we know better than to disrespect a person in their home, because that's the fastest way to get a buck shot to the ass.” Momma Nelson said putting her jacket on as Kiki's dad carried their luggage to the rental car, they had to catch their flight back to South Carolina. After everyone left, they put the food in the freezer and clean the house. Unique had stayed around trying to get some alone time with Essence, but Momma Nelson always found something for him to do. After about an hour, Anthony said they had to leave because Sundays were early nights for the football team. “Momma, ever since I been here, I have seen and hea
Chapter 109Leah's Dorm Room:Leah and Shawn: “I'm sorry Shawn I told my roommate not to call you, I am trying to do this on my own. My parents would make me leave school if they found out that you had to come all the way over here because I fell in the bathroom. I don't know what happened I was trying by best not to wet my wound, that I didn't see my body wash was leaking on the floor, and the next thing I know I slipped. I didn't think it would be this hard, then I have this ugly scar from the operation, everything is just so messed up.” Leah said crying as Shawn stepped into the shower, getting wet as he turned the shower off and picked Leah up off the floor. his hair and clothes were now wet from the shower and Leah’s wet body. He quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her and walked out of the community bathroom. “You got shot a few days ago and had major surgery, and you left the hospital against the doctor's orders. He told you that you can
Chapter 110Leah's RoomShawn and Leah: `` Shawn stormed into Leah's room, it was completely dark, he felt around for the light switch. When he finally found it, he spotted Leah laying on the floor flat on her back. Her night gown was up around her waist, blood was seeping through the top of her shirt. “I'm so sorry Shawn, I didn't want to call the ambulance because they would call my parents. I just need to get to the bathroom and check my wound. Then you can go back to whatever you were doing.” Leah said as she cried. “Damn it Leah, why the hell are you trying to do this shit by yourself. You're going to mess around and end up in the hospital with some kind of infection.” Shawn said picking her up, taking her to the bed, he ran to the bathroom and got a wet cloth and a fresh towel. When he got back to the room, he stopped in his tracks seeing Leah with her shirt lifted revealing her breast. He was just now noticing that she was completely naked underneath he
Chapter 111Outside Jazz's Dorm:Syncere: Syncere sat in his truck as he tried to gather his thoughts on everything he wanted to say to Jazz. He knew that what he was about to do will hurt her, which is the last thing he wanted to do to her. They had been through hell and back and stuck together, he would be lying if he said he didn't love her. But the truth is, it wasn't the kind of love that went with being in love with someone. He had to face the truth that he and Jazz formed a trauma bond because of the loss of their baby. He was going to try and do this with as much patience and understanding that she will be hurt and grieving all over again. He also admitted to himself that she wouldn't be the only one feeling the pain of their breakup. He knew Essence was right that he would need time to get himself mentally together before he could step to her. A knock on his truck window scared the shit out of him. “Damn Shawn what the hell man, I almost had a hear
Chapter 112Jazz's Dorm: ContinuedSyncere and Jazz: Jazz smiled and snuggled into him, she hoped that once he forgave her about earlier, maybe she could convince him to stay or take her to his place. She had loved living with him while she recovered from her accident, it felt like they were already married. She knew she had to do damage control, it would be best if she spoke first. Syncere sat at her desk chair and not next to her, that made her frown and become even more nervous. “Baby, I want to apologize for telling everyone about our engagement. I know we promised that we would only tell everyone once we graduated, but with the shooting it was like my life flashed before my eyes. Either one of us could have died and no one would know that we were engage. No one would know that we loved each other so much that we had taken the steps towards solidifying our relationship, by getting engaged. We knew we were it, for each other, that we were soulmates.” “Jazz, please just st
Chapter 113Monday Morning 5amPhone RingingSyncere: Who the hell is calling my phone this late, it better be life or death. Feeling for my phone and pressing the green button to answer without even opening my eyes. “What!” “What the hell you mean what where the hell are you? Coach is pissed, he said if you're not here in fifteen minutes you're not playing in the homecoming game. So you better get your ass up and to the gym now!” Shawn said, and my eyes widen. What the hell is going on, I set up looking around and my heart drop when I turned and saw Jazz lying beside me completely naked. I jumped up out of her bed and realize I was fucking naked to. “Shit, shit, shit, shit! No, no, no, no! What the fuck did I do? What the hell happened last night?” I said as I searched the room for my clothes. “Baby where are you going come back to bed.” Jazz said sitting up letting the cover fall showing her breast. “Jazz what the hell is going on? What did we do? Why the fuck can't I re
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
Chapter 143Homecoming week Wednesday:Dormitory:Jazz and Leah: “I can't believe that I might have gotten to Syncere in convincing him that, that fat bitch was just playing him. That she had been playing him from the start and messing with him and Unique. He went to her apartment last night and saw her and Unique lip locking. He came here pissed as hell, once he told me what happened I immediately started telling him that I was right all along. Although he still kept me at arm’s length and even got mad when I tried to seduce him, but I think if Unique keeps showing Syn that him and Essence is together, he will come back to me. I bet by the end of the week, we will be back together and then we can go on spring break and start over fresh. The thing that will keep us together this time is I won't even bring up none of this shit. I won't throw it in his face, it will be like none of this happened. When you and Shawn get back together you will have to be re
Wednesday Homecoming 6 am Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Why the hell do I feel like, I haven't practiced or played ball in months. Coach was running our asses today, and I don't know what the hell is going on I couldn't concentrate for shit.” Shawn said as they walked back into their apartment. “Yea me too. We have to get our shit together because if we play like we played in practice we will lose the homecoming game.” Syncere said, as they both fell on their couch. “Yea I know, Kymoni got my head fucked up so bad, and last night didn't help nothing.” “Yea, I saw you coming out of her dorm last night. I thought you were going to tell her everything?” Syncere asked. “Yea that was right after she walked out and saw me and Leah coming out of the community showers together. I was helping her to shower, because her roommate was nowhere in sight. I was just going to wheel her ass in there and come out while she showered, because the doctor had to re do her s
Syncere's Truck:Syncere and Jazz: “I can't believe you made us ride in an ambulance Syn, my arm is really broken, and all you could think about was chasing that girl.” Jazz said, as Syncere pulled out of the Emergency parking lot. “How many times I have to tell you that you are going to have to start figuring your own shit out. We're not together, we're are friends and if I don't have other things to do and you need something I don't mind helping you out. But me being the first person you call will have to stop, if you can't handle that then I guess we can't be friends.” Syncere said harsher than he intended. He glanced at Jazz and saw that she was crying huddled up against the car door like a scared animal. “Look I'm sorry, I just got a lot of shit on my mind and you're not helping by acting like I am still obligated to be there at your every whim.” Syncere said, softening his tone. Jazz wiped her eyes still looking pissed. “I never thought that you
Chapter 140In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV: Continued:Unique and Essence: Sometimes when somebody from the city finds out where she was from, they would start to talk like she was deaf or didn't understand words. When she was training for her at home job, once she introduced herself and told the class where she was from, they immediately started acting weird. The instructor would tell the class something and she would automatically say shit like. “Essence if you didn't understand what I just said just let me know before class ends and we will go over it again.” That pissed her off, she's country through and through but please don't think she can't speak proper English when need be. That pissed her off, so needless to say she worked her ass off, and by the second month of working for the company she was training her own class, because bitch don't play with her. Damn it! Kiki was right she definitely had a competitive problem. Essence thought as she
Chapter 139 In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV:Unique and Essence: “Oh ok cool, I promise I won't be long I just want to talk to you for a minute, but not out here all out in the open.” Unique said, trying everything in him not to snap at her. He knew it would get the door slammed in his face. Essence looked at him remembering she had to talk to him anyway. “Yea, I can give you five minutes, because I actually have some things to talk to you about as well, and it might as well be now.” Essence said, pulling her door open allowing Unique into her apartment. Before she could react, he pulled her into the door way wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Hey, man I just took a shower, I'm not trying to get sick out here. You gotta stop doing that shit it isn't cool.” Essence said pulling away from Unique shoving him, but his size meant he didn't move at all. “My bad I just missed you that's all, when you didn't want to eat with us today, I thou
Chapter 138Essence's Apartment Complex:Essence and Kymoni: “Hey, I wanted to call you to let you know I made it home, because I know once I get in my apartment, I am hitting the shower and then my damn bed.” I said sitting in my car as I talk to Kiki. “Ok girl will have to meet up tomorrow so we can practice and have the girls try on the outfits than. I'm thinking we need to come to your apartment, because the block is hot around here.” Kymoni said. “Wait are they trying to jump you? Do I need to come back over there?” I asked already putting my car in reverse. “Now you know damn well, you would be bailing me out of jail if any of them hoes tried me. I woulda had it storming in that bitch, raining blows on them bitches. After you left, Syncere was trying to come after you, but of course Jazz became a victim talking about I broke her arm when I stepped on it jumping on that he-she that pushed you. Her stupid ass don't know that when a fight break out you n
Chapter 147WARNING EVERYONE A HEAD UP SOME WORDS MAYBE OFFENSE TO SOME FOLKS BUT IT WOULDN'T FEEL GENUINE! Essence Apartment Complex:Anthony's Apartment: Anthony and Unique: “What the fuck was that earlier? Why the hell were you trying to pick a fight with the basketball team? You're being reckless and putting all of our at risk, if we would have fought the basketball team especially during their season. We would lose our spot on the football team, and more than likely get kicked out of school. The basketball team brings in a hell of a lot more money than the football team, not to mention their families damn near paid for this fucking school. What is your fucking problem, Unique?” Anthony asked once they got into his apartment. He was pissed, because it seems like Unique is becoming obsessed with Essence and that is starting to scare him. He knew what a lot of people didn't know which is that Unique is dangerous, Anthony fully believes that if Unique wa
Chapter 136The Dormitory Continued…… When she stepped back, her eyes was on the girl who pushed her as Kymoni rained blows to her face. She was eerily calm for someone who almost fell down a flight of stairs. This fight wasn't like the fight she had in his apartment with Leah and Jazz. Essence squared up, bouncing on the heels of feet ready to move quickly, which she did when she kicked Sam in the stomach when she charged at Essence. She wanted to use her weight to tackle Essence but she wasn't having it. Once she slammed her head into the second wall, Syncere realized that she was literally going to try and count the walls in the building. “Syn what are you waiting for get her off her!” Jazz said shaking him out of his thoughts. Shawn was still beside Kymoni just in case she wanted to get back in on the fun. Syncere went and grabbed Essence by the waist and tried to pull her away from Sam, but she had a hand full of Sam's hair. “Essence aiight come on tha
Chapter 135The Dormitory: Essence was glad that she didn't have to fight that big bitch, nobody was going to tell me that she wasn’t a fucking man. With everybody going back to their rooms silently, she started to walk pass Jazz and what was left of her squad. Jazz was looking like she wanted smoke, but Essence knew she really didn't. Syncere was looking at her wanting her to know that he would be dropping by her house after he talked to Jazz, but she didn't look in his direction. As soon as she thought she was home free somebody pushed her hard sending her straight towards the stairs. “I know this bitch didn't just push my friend.” Kymoni said angrily . Now a lot of things happened all at once, when that man-built bitch pushed Essence sending her towards the stairs. Syncere and Shawn reacted like they were trying to catch a basketball before it went outta bounds. They pushed Jazz and Leah, causing them to slam into each other, sending them tumbling on th
