"Oh. Wait. You getting ready for the tennis streets?" Keisha said as she and Sevyn walked into Simone and Nate's room."Something like that. It's definitely gonna be a battle to get back out there, though."
"Girl it's been one match," Sevyn said with a laugh.
"After sitting out one match? Damn, y'all really do be acting like it's Fight Club." Keisha said causing Sevyn to laugh.
"It does." Sevyn agreed.
"Girl, feels like it, and I'm not the only one in the ring," Simone said as the three of them sat down on her bed.
"How's dance going?" Sevyn asked Keisha.
"Good, I guess. I don't know. Dr. Pace hasn't really been there, so her assistant's been teaching the class." Keisha told the two.
Slightly confused Simone asked, "What's up with that?"
"Girl, I'm minding my business. I'mma let that game come to me." She told them as Simone looked at her call log Keena has been calling the two since Damon left for Chicago.
"Is he still thinking about coming back early?" Keisha asked the two.
"Last we heard, but no one's been able to reach him," Sevyn said.
"Well, where ever he is, whenever he gets here, we'll be ready for him."
Sevyn, Keisha, Gabby, JR, and Simone sat at the table while Cam and coach Marcus sat on the couch as they waited for Damon to arrive this mother texted Simone and Sevyn letting them know that it would be better for Damon to come back to school and he would be arriving tonight.
As the elevator dings and the door opens everyone quickly stands up as they see Damon step out of the elevator.
"Hey, bro. Man, I'm sorry for your loss." JR said as the two hugged.
"If there's anything we can do..." Sevyn started as she pulled Damon into a hug while rubbing his back before letting him go.
Keisha pulled him into a hug before saying, "No. Seriously, we're here for you."
"Yeah, bro. We got you." Cam told him.
"That includes me, too," Gabby added with a smile.
"So they drսg you to this welcoming committee, Coach?" Damon asked as he saw that coach Marcus was there.
"I had to lay eyes on you myself. Look, if you need anything, even if it's company in silence, man, we're all here for you, OK?"
"Look. I-- I appreciate it, but I'm straight. You know, my dad, he's had Alzheimer's, so I kind of lost him a long time ago, so any grief or whatever, that's in the rearview." Damon told them and of course, they didn't believe that.
Standing next to Damon JR started, "Look, bro, you don't really have to explain."
While grabbing his shoulder Damon began, "Now, look, what I want you to do is, I want you to celebrate, all right? Between your anniversary and Cape Cod, you should be living it up."
