Jacob Latimore POV

Baby I promise you'll do fine. I send to Cymphonique.

Thanks babe will you still make it in time for my game. She sends me.

Of course boo I'll make it there. I send back to her.

My game starts in three hours. Don't be late. She sends me.

If everything goes to plan like it should than I'll make it. I'll try my best to be there. I send back to her.

Even if you don't make it it's still good to kno that you tried your best to be here 4 me. I love you. She sends me.

I love you too baby. Have a good game. I'm rooting 4 U. I swear I'll try and be there. I made a promise. I love you. I send back to her.

I put my phone in my pocket and get ready to go on stage and perform. Her game will be starting soon. I know Ima be a little late but I'll make it. I already have my private jet ready. Since I'm in Arizona it should take me about 2 1/2 hours to get back.

While I'm in my thoughts some girl comes in the dressing room. I just look at her but don't say anything. She just looks at me when I hear the door open again. This time I see Bahja with her like what's going on now. I get up and approach them.

"Why are y'all in here?" I ask them.

"Jacob, we need to talk. Seriously." Bahja said.

"Get the fuck out Bahja." I said as calm as possible.

"No Jacob, I won't get the fuck out. But I just want to say that looks like we'll be doing that duet after all." Bahja said.

"What the hell are you talking about now?" I ask her, confused.

"Remember that song I said I'd do a remix to... Well turns out your producer friend here thought it would be okay to blend it together." Bahja said, devious. "He said it was well put together. A lot of recognition from SoundCloud. We can perform live here and now."

"No the fuck we're not! Get out Bahja." I shout at her.

"Unless you want Cymphonique to find out." Bahja threaten me.

"Oh really? She already knows about what went down Bahja." I said to her.

"So you told her that we were going back to our old times in the booth. You told her about when you said you love me. You showed her the texts about you wanting to fuck me when she wasn't fucking you. You told her about this performance that were about to have together? I'm sure you didn't." Bahja said.

"Those are all old and it didn't mean anything. You don't mean anything." I said back to her.

"It doesn't even matter now. Either it's my way or Cymphonique finds out about her man cutting her out of the song. And, since she's a nobody the label won't really give a damn if I cut her on or off. I have people who'd side with me faster than with you." Bahja said.

"God damn you." I said shaking my head. I guess I don't have no other choice but to. "what song?"

"Any song that you choose. I'll sing it with you." Bahja said walking out of the room. "Goodbye. Love ya."

Fuck...

Cymphoniue POV

Jacob has already texted me saying he'll be late. But at least he's on the plane comin'. The game has already started and I'm focused. The recruiters are here witnessin' me play. So far err'thang goin' real good.

Our team is a bit behind but the coach is just puttin' me in the game. I'm positive that we'll catch up soon. Meanwhile I'm breakin' a sweat out here on the court. I see Nicki and August out in the crowd. I'm glad they here to support me.

I dribble the ball as my shoes make a loud squeak noise. I shoot all of the baskets like its nothin'. I don't wanna look like I'm showin' off. So I share the ball all 'round too. Just from their faces I assume that try like what they see.

I get called down to the court wit' this real big tall man lookin' girl. I crouch down when the ref toss the ball up. She hits the ball on her side. I manage to get the ball when she clips me. I fall down and pop my ankle.

God damn this hurts!

They call a time and I sit out on the bench fo' a second. They send in somebody else to play. August and Nicki both chant fo' me though.

"Cym, Cym..." Kylie calls me from a distant tryna get my attention.

"What?" I ask her.

"I think you need to see this video that was sent to you." Kylie said. She hands me her phone and I click the link. I see a girl and a boy pressed against the wall. I just stare at her and play it.

Type shit does she have me watchin'?!?!

I play the video to see 'em obviously all closed up together. The video footage is so poor that is hard to make out. Ion who is who but I fast forward it. When I do TMZ adds pictures to it. Even some audio.

I see a picture of Bahja... Of course she's a hoe I wouldn't doubt that see up all on a nigga. But when they pull up a picture of Jacob and I listen to the audio even more. It breaks me. He said it was just a kiss, but from this it looks like he was tryna get the whole meal. You can't have your cake and eat it too Jacob.

I can feel the tears ready to pour out of my eyes but I hold it in. I hand Kylie back her phone. I kno' my facial expression is different now. I just have to hold out 'til the game is over. I get up from off of the bench and walk.

The second I even reach the court again I see the devil himself at the double doors. Goodbye Jacob Latimore. You lost me fo' good.
