Fantasia lay curled up against the bedroom door she lay on her side and let the tears run across her face as she clutched tightly to the photo of her and Taraji. it was later in the night, and her heart wouldn't stop pounding the tears wouldn't stop coming. she didn't want to believe Taraji was dead but she couldn't think of anything else, she just couldn't believe anything else not when she didn't have anything telling her that Taraji was alive. Usually, she was an optimist but... this just broke her down.

"Momma? you okay, if it's okay I just want to talk to you I'm worried" She heard Halle's voice come through the door as she looked up at the door hand el giggling

"Halle, Go back to sleep please I don't feel like talking right now I can't talk right now," she said trying to mask her Shake your voice

" Ma I know you're crying in there, I can hear you and I can hear Jordan crying too! I'll leave you alone but in the morning we have to talk both of you are suffering" She heard Halle say before walking away in front of the door 

Fantasia just couldn't fathom talking about anything to either of them what would she even say, * taraji's dead now so me and your father are going to try and make things work*, * Jordan's going to come live with us permanently!*, * she isn't dead!*  was one that she wanted to say but she just couldn't make her mouth form the words. She kept crying watching as a puddle grew beneath her head salty tears and small Weeps escaped from her

* I hate seeing you like this, especially when I can't make you feel better*

" you can make me feel better about telling me you're alive!"  Fantasia responded

* you know I can't say that because you don't believe that, you know I'm just something your mind is Conjuring up to make you feel better, or I can stay as long as you want or I can go but I can't answer questions neither of us have the answer to*

" I hope you're alive that's all I want, I just want my phone to ring and when I pick it up tell me that you're alive you just went out for a walk or went to the store when you called it Uber a cab or something. my heart could have jumped out of my chest when I saw them Wheeling the body out...I don't know where you are, or how or why any of this is happening. I just wanted to be over with-"

* you want them to find my body?*

"NO! Of course not that's not what I-I thought what you thought when you said you wanted this to be over with... it's okay... Do you just want Jordan and me to have closure?*

"No, I want you to have his mother.  I want to have you in my arms, I want us to have our date our night on the town!"

* and we will*

" in real life or heaven"

* Again I don't know, we just have to wait*

" but I don't want to" Fantasy just said back es Taraji gave her a small smile and sat down on the floor in front of her

* you are always impatient* Taraji left making Fantasia crack a little smile

*BUZZ* Fantasia's phone was ringing it was on silent but you get to feel it vibrating in her pocket, she didn't want to look

*You could be something about me?*  Taraji struggled as Fantasia reached into our pocket and took out the phone it was a text from Ken

*Hmpf...  text him back you should talk to him you might find out something*  Taraji said before she just disappeared again Fantasia wiped the tears from her face and set up against the door setting the photo between her torso and legs and she began texting Ken
