(A/N. Welp, we are getting closer to the end of season 2, any predictions?)

"You ready for the Cotillion?" JJ asked me.

"Yeah. I got my gloves and my dress," I told him,"and my date."

"Thank you for asking me," he told me.

"Its only becuase Chris Hemsworth didnt answer my DM," I told JJ making him shake his head.

"I'm more attractive then chris Hemsworth," JJ defended.

"Are you?" I asked him.

"I hate you," he mumbled.

"Love ya to!" I said sarcastically.

The next day I was going to see Spencer at work. I was sitting outside playing on my phone waiting for my food. Then I felt someone sitdown across for me.

"Not in the mood to talk, sorry," I said without looking up.

"Not even to me," tyrone asked making my head jerk up.

"Why are you here," I demanded from him.

"Where are your manners. Hi Jade. How are you?" He asked me.

"Why are you here?" I reiterated.

"I'm just here to see how you and Shawn's baby are doing," he told me.

"We are both good."

"Girl or boy?" He asked me.

"Boy."

"You in the wrong part of towm," Spencer said coming over to us.

"I'm just here to check up on her. More importantly that baby. Shawn was one of us and we take care of one of us," tyrone told spencer, and evil glint in his eyes.

"Shes perfectly fine without your help. Thanks though," spencer said calmly.

"Just in case," he slipped me a peice of paper with his number.

Then he left. And spencer went back inside. I entered his number in my phone so if he tried to text me I'd know who it was. My guess, hes already got someone to give him my number, and this visit was not just a friendly visit.

But before I worry about him I have to go to a Cotillion. And I have dance practice. Once Spencer got of we went to dance practice. Sadly, Asher did not get the same memo.

"Why dont you go with Spencer and I can teach jordan the dance for kia," I offered her.

"I'm play with that, jordan hot," kia told us.

"What you think Spencer?" Liv asked him.

"I mean, Jordan's alright,"Spencer said scrunching up his nose.

"We know Jordan is more then alright, are you okay switching partners?" I asked him.

"Ohh. Sure," he said making me roll my eyes.

"Who's cuter, Jade, Jordan or JJ?" Kia asked me.

"Jordan," I said seeing as JJ wasnt here.

He had texted to see if it was okay to stay back with a football guy. He had come to all my other dance rehearsals, and this was a big deal for him, so I didnt care. Liv did. To be fair, Ashers being a dick. At least JJ cares about things that are important to me.

That night me and Jordan were up late so I could teach him the dance. About an hour and a half in we gave up. I was laying my head on his sholder as we were watching videos on his phone.

"Your supposed to be dancing," Zan said rolling into the room.

"Shush. We gave up," I told him.

"I could probably dance better then you and I'm paralyzed," zan said to his brother.

"You probably could, but dont forget who got to be in a kendric lamar video," Jordam bickered back.

"I'm still bitter that it's my crew and I missed meeting kendric," I announced.

"That's what happens when you get pregnant," zan told me but I just flipped him off.

"I've missed having you here. I know with the baby, Darnell being here, and your dad dying you need to be in Crenshaw, but I missed being with you all the time," Jordan told me.

I've missed you guys to," I agreed.

The three of us stayed up way to late talking and joking around.

Time skip - Cotillion

"What if I fall and die?" I asked JJ pacing at the top of the stairway.

"I'll catch you," he offered.

"What if I kill us both?" I asked him wide eyed.

"Then i die with the girl i love," he told me and kissed my hand.

"You arent helpful," i muttered.

Then my name was called,"Jade James escorted by JJ Parker!"

I clung onto JJs arm for dear life and smiled as we walked down the steps. I managed to make it to the bottom without falling. Me and JJ got in position and waited for the song to start.

Me and JJ lost ourselves in the music and enjoyed the time together. I get to go to a fancy event with someone I love. Someone healthy for me. And i value it more then anything in the world.

When the song ended me and JJ spent the whole night laughing and talking. I was giddy, feeling on top of the world. It was like everything that had happened to me no longer mattered.

Then liv won an award and I was so happy for her. She earned it, and her podcast is amazing. Its going to change the world, shes going to change the world.

With only a few bumbs in night, it was easily one of the best nights of my life.

"Hey, Jade. I have something to give you, will you come out to the car with me?" Liv asked me.

"Yeah, of course. I'll be right back," I said kissing JJ.

Me, liv, and Spencer walked out to the car laughing and talking about the night. Sure it was a bit rough for liv, but overall it was a good night. Plus, shes better with Spencer.

Then a car came speeding around the corner. Spencer tried to jump in front of me but was half a second to late.

I felt a piercing pain in my stomache as I fell to the ground in sobs and screamed.
