After leaving Zeke's room, I checked my phone that had been on silent all this time. My dad sent me a text, Monica sent me five, and Colby sent me two.
I read the texts as I walked to my bedroom.
Colby: All your appearances have been postponed until next year.
Colby: You still have a meeting with your team and Ricky, though. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Me: Thanks, Colby! You, too.

Dad: Baby, you looked beautiful on that float. Your mom has watched your performance a hundred times already. I wish we could see you, but we understand you have to work. We love you!
Me: LOL I miss y'all so much. Tell mama I'll try to come early January to see y'all. I love you
Dad: Okay, baby

Monica: Girl, you did that!!! And tell Deonte Way that you already kinda a little bit somewhat partially have a man. He was singing like he was about to marry you.
I busted out laughing at her text. Why is she like this?
Monica: Why y'all got social media on fire? People already saying you moved on to Deonte after E was spotted with another woman SMH
Monica: Oh, that's right. I'm the other woman 🤣🤣🤣
Monica: Girl, they done zoomed in on your sunglasses. Why they got his name on it?
Monica: Cousin, if you dating Deonte you NEED to tell me ASAP like RIGHT NOW
When I got to my room, I hopped on my bed and text Monica back.
Me: Dear the other woman, my business is not yo business. Perionica - that's period and your name put together. It means end of discussion. Sincerely, the first woman. P.S. Deonte and I are not dating
Monica: No you didn't try to write a letter LAME. Anyway, have you checked on your real man? If I'm seeing all this, he is too.
Me: Unlike you, A.B. has a life
Monica: Where is E so he can beat you up for me?
Me: SMH now you sending other people to fight yo battles
Monica: You lucky we in two different states. Since you got all this time to reply, why you can't call me?
Me: .....................................
Monica: What does that mean?
Me: I fell asleep on my phone. Goodniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Monica: It ain't nowhere near night time! It's cool. Unlike you, I have a man to talk to. 🤣
Me: Sooooooooooooooo
Monica: Jealoussssssssssssssss
Me: Bye, Moni!
Monica: Bye!
I put my phone on the nightstand and rolled over onto my back. "What is life?"
Knock! Knock!
I lifted my head to see Zack standing at my door. I quickly sat up.
"You can stay in bed. I don't mean to disturb you." He walked inside my room and took a seat in my chair by the window.
