Indigo Quint is a talented and aspiring artist. But while she is trying to make a name for herself as an artist, she is an art teacher for bright students at Beacon Hill Center. She teaches many students including Duce Tatum the son of Jayson Tatum...
It had been almost a week and I hadn't seen or heard from Indi. She hadn't been posting on social media either as people kept commenting on her past posts. Some attacking her for no reason. I decided to post on my story and make an official tweet a while ago.

A few of my day ones and my family had retweeted/reposted what I said and theShadeRoom had issued a formal apology on their page but the damage was already done.
Even though I told Indi I would leave her alone I just couldn't, I had texted her a few times and called but got no answer. I was upset that before something between us even could start it was over just like that. My family had been checking on me cause they could tell I was really upset about the situation. I ended up telling them all what happened because it was just frustrating and I ended up finding Jonah's IG and I think he was the one who took that picture of us outside on the rooftop but I couldn't verify for sure but he was commenting a lot under shade room posts when the whole situation happened. I was really about to pop off on him but my folks told me to chill though cause it would only make things worse especially for Indigo. My mom told me things may work out eventually. These things just take time, that maybe me and Indi may find our way back to each other. I tried to believe in her words but the way Indi could just cut me off like this, I knew things between us were probably done. Some of my teammates came over as well.
I was closest with Marcus, JB, Grant, Rob, and Josh and they had come over to check on me before our first playoff game against the Bulls. I ended up telling them all what happened because it was just too much at this point and they had a right to know since they were at the club that night.
"Damn Jay I ain't even know all that had happened, no wonder you seemed so extra happy these past couple of months." Josh said
"Yeah Jay I mean Indi is a good woman though I'm sorry it couldn't work out" JB said
"I talked to Gem, but she said she hasn't really heard from Indi except a few times." Marcus said
"Yeah, and Thanks guys I appreciate yall coming over here, and it's all good Marcus you don't have to do that I know you and Gem got a good thing going on right now and I'd hate to interrupt that with my problems. She said she ain't wanna be with me so that's that." I said with a defeated sigh. I wasn't even trying to think on it too hard cause I just would get upset and emotional all over again.
"But I mean Jay, did she really mean it when she said that? I mean you said so yourself. She looked torn when telling you she didn't want anything to do with you anymore. Maybe she just needs time to figure things out with her job and stuff. And I figure she's just trying to protect you and her reputation." Grant said
"I mean you're probably right but the thing is, I don't need protection, I'm a grown man, I can handle myself ya know. And I told her we would be in this together to figure things out. She didn't need to do it by herself. I mean I know it's only been a week, but I can only give her so much time, like I don't wanna spend all my time waiting for her, and playoffs are coming up soon and I just don't need this situation on my mind anymore. Maybe things will work out but I can't spend my time holding my breath for her to be ready for this when I'm already ready ya know." I told them
"Yeah I hear ya man" Rob said. We talked about other things, ordered some food and played 2K but Indi was still on my mind. I just wanted to know if she was okay cause I saw a lot of her personal business that got put online, where she worked, lived and a few other things. I didn't even know she had bipolar depression but somebody had found a super old post where she talked about it. I wish I had known that. I got a notification ping on my phone. Most notifications I had muted all together cause it was just too much after that Shaderoom post. But it was a post from Indi on IG. I quickly clicked on it and saw it was a video of her and her team doing the community art project for her outreach program she was telling me about. Her and her students had done a mural for the people native to Boston who had passed away due to gun violence. They even had Terrance Clarke up there (RIP) , a Boston native, and a high prospect from Kentucky who I talked to a few times before he died suddenly in that car accident a few months before he was supposed to be drafted. It was a beautiful art piece and they had made prints of this to give to the families and were selling them to others and donating the profits to the families and some charities and using the rest of the profits to help provide art supplies for the kids and establish art programs for other kids in low income/high crime areas. It was beautiful how much she cared for others and wanted to lend a little light, beauty, and compassion to others. I clicked on the link and made sure to purchase a few prints of the mural and I donated to the funds she and her program had set up. I also reposted her video on my story to gain her some more traction. I scrolled through some of the other pictures on her post seeing how beautiful she looked. She looked happy, but I knew her, and I could see the hurt and tiredness in her eyes. I don't know who hurt her or what they did, but I felt like the reason she said what she said was because of somebody else. I just wish she would have told me who or what did this to her to make her this way and not trust me.
