||Nobody|| Toni Is 21yrs old and Is From Southern Maryland. She grew up in a Pretty religious family. Her Dad was a Preacher and Her Mom was a Minister.
Which Means It was Church EVERY SUNDAY !! NO breaks In between whatsoever. But Toni got an escape when she left home and went to college; she wanted to be a Teacher.

So sit back and Let's start from the beginning.. of Love Hurts.

- 1992 -

In The Early 90s the Block was HOT with New Acts Of talent. From groups like TLC, SWV, and Mint Condition, Thug Bone and Harmony and Escape Janet Jackson and More....

And The Hottest Artists stayed in the Dirty south but the home of Music 🎶 and that was No other than Atlanta.

Down In Atlanta it was a Record label Called Arista Records and Joined by LaFace Records.

They Had Whitney Houston and they Even Had Mariah Carey But what they didn't have Was a Toni Braxton. She was Gonna Be the Next Big Thing Like Brandy and Monica.

Toni Wanted her dreams To work So bad that she would give anything to be in the Limelight just like the greats She used to sneak and listen to.

I'm talking about Anita baker, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Dionne WarWick, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, And So Many Other that Paid a Price For the Fame and glory.

" Toni... Toni!! " Someone Called her name out.

" What !?! " She said Looking at her friend Gill Crazy.

Gill: " You Been Sitting There looking into outer space for the last 30 minutes. " he said sipping on his soda.

Toni: " I'm Sorry Boo. I'm so worried about me getting picked for the contest. I heard that if the person win they can land a record deal with Babyface and LA. & God knows I want that More Than Anything. " she said.

Gill: " Girl You Got this, they Would Be a FOOL not to pick you. You're pretty and smart and you can sing and let's not to forget mention that none of these Microphone head bitches have Talent. " he said.

Toni Let's out a laugh.

" Oh Gillie you're So crazy. " she said.

Gill: Mark My Words You gone be Famous ash and you gone Marry a Rich ass Man.

They said walking Home From The Mall to catch the bus home.

Gill: Well Mama's I gotta Get going but Remember what I said.

Toni: okay Remember the contest is Tomorrow at 3pm at the south league mall.

Gill: Got you Babe.. love you bye.

They give smooches and He catches a cab and goes home. Leaving Toni Alone but her voice takes over her mind and she starts Singing while waiting on the bus to come.

Toni: " God put a rainbow in the sky..
God Put a Rainbow In the sky, when it looks like the Sun will not shine anymore; God Put a rainbow in the Sky ".

She was Singing not Knowing That Someone was listening to her the whole Time.

Ricky: Excuse me ma'am ? The Man Called Her Name.
