brandy stood outside the locked restroom door waiting patiently for monica who was currently puking her insides out, "mo you okay in there?". brandy said against the door before knocking for the second time,

clearing her throat monica flushed the toilet blinking back tears. "mo let me in". she begged hearing the door click, opening the door brandy shut it behind her eyeing monica who looked exhausted. "here my baby". brandy whispered handing her the unopened bottle of mouth wash,

"thanks brandy, h-have they said anything about jackman?". she softly asked fearing the worst, brandy shook her head making monica sigh "i-i saw corey". she softly said making brandy's eyes widened in shock "corey? as in michael's brother". she asked in shock "i thought he was dead? we all saw his body at the funeral". monica sighed shrugging.

"i thought so to but i saw him! this is exhausting. i-i saw him! he touched my waist passing by". she screamed as brandy sighed, "mo you want to go home? we can stay here for jack you look exhausted". monica ignored her standing up.

"i'm good brandy it's just my nerves are making me sick. i know those bullets were meant for me". she softly said as tears welled in her eyes, "i wish it was me, jack doesn't deserve to be in there fighting for his life. his mom was right i ruined his life".

brandy wrapped her arms tightly around monica who cried loudly into her shoulder, "monica don't you start blaming yourself! his mother is another story. everything will be ok".
