Prologue
A year later
Osari sat in her class watching as her professor walked around handing back the graded test they took last class .When he got to her and sat her paper on her desk her heart dropped when she saw she had made a 60.
Sani nosily looked over at Osari's paper and sighed . " what's been going on with you sis ? You were passing with flying colors last semester " She questioned .
The two of them had grown even more closer over the past year . They were basically together everyday because the both of them attended the same university and were in all the same classes that were required to get into the nursing program .
Osari had finally decided to stop being hard headed and listen to Beretta and let the streets go . She was eight months out of the game but she wasn't going to lie she missed it , well at least the money she made from it .
Managing Riq's club paid her good but not enough to fund the lifestyle that she was used to . She was struggling financially and it had her stressed out because she had a lot of financial responsibilities that needed to be taken care of.
" I just got a lot on my plate " Osari told Sani .
" like what ? anything I can do to help ? " Sani asked .
" girl I wish you could but these ain't no regular problems . I'm behind on bills , Ms.Joyce cancer came back and she's getting a mastectomy and has to do chemo but her insurance doesn't pay the full thing so I'll have to pay half of it myself and I have to find out how ima come up with money to get her house from getting out of foreclosure. Not to mention omega is expensive and he's growing so he keeps needing new clothes and shoes he eats all day and groceries are high " Osari complained .
" Why don't you ask your brother for help ? You know he'll give you the shirt off of his back if you asked " Sani questioned .
" Kendall already has a lot going on " Osari told her . Not only was he paying both the bills for his house and Sani's house. Him and Key were going through a nasty custody battle and the lawyer fees weren't cheap.
" Well what about Glock ? didn't he say that had you with whatever you needed ? "
" people say all of things that they don't follow through with " Osari mumbled while rolling her eyes . When Beretta first got locked up all of her so called friends were making promises on how they were gonna be there for her and help with anything she needed and the only person that has actually been helping her was Kendall and Sani . Glock had his moments where he would pop up and give her money or take omega somewhere but it was every once in a blue moon .
She wasn't even sweating it though , omega wasn't their responsibility so she couldn't feel any type of way about it .
" Osari and Dasani " The professor called their name as a way to tell them to cut their sideline conversation off .
They both remained quiet and decided to finish their conversation later . Class ended a few minutes later and the both of them grabbed their belongings and left out of the classroom . " We got two hours till next class , wanna go get some lunch ? My treat " Sani asked her .
" Yeah I'm starving , I didn't have a chance to eat this morning because I was running late " Osari told her .
" What you have a taste for ? I want a good burger , I haven't had a burger in a minute " Sani said .
" Yeah, I can do a burger " Osari said .
She and Sani were walking out of the building and she noticed Zakeyah walking down the hall . The two of them made eye contact for a few seconds before going their own ways .
