ken🖤.

"i just been thinking about aliyah a lot lately.. like she been through so much at a young age .. she was just graduating lord" ken said to her teammates..

the team decided to throw a little party for aliyah..

|little run down this happened in real life also if you wanna go read about it!| aliyah was shot 10x after an altercation at a party . she was a senior & about a month or 2 away from graduating highschool. she was offered a full ride scholarship to many colleges to play basketball .. she chose usc ! she did recover having to learn how to walk again ! so proud of her 🥺❤️.

(back to the story).

they noticed that aliyah was paranoid and traumatized & would only leave her dorm for basketball practices + games. the team supported her so much through her emotions letting her know they were there for her . they were understanding of her shutting down at times. but they wanted her to live her life..

she was young, beautiful, & talented in so many different ways.. she was such a sweet person with a good heart.

the team decided to throw her a party at their dorm.. with her favorite foods, gifts , and a cake written "survivor" on it .

juju🩷.

my heart is so heavy for her.. she should not have gone through that .. she wouldn't hurt a fly but im glad God let us keep her .. one of the strongest out !

i love aliyah we all my heart, thats like my blood sister.. she was here from the beginning ! & i want her to know she got me forever .

"okay we got everything set up right ?" juju asked as she put the finishing touches around the food & stuff making it look as neat as possible.

"yeppie we're ready!" kayla said .

"okay juju, you go to liyah's door & get her to come & we will start hiding" kayla added.

"bet, but remember guys not to loud! loud noise might scare her" juju said putting on her slides.

juju walked down the hallway towards aliyah's dorm room.. she wasn't completely out of it & when teammates came to her dorm she was happy to let them in..

even tho she never went out she did get lonely & would hope her teammates would come and hang out with her..

juju made it to her dorm knocking on the door 3x before she came out .. she looked like she hadn't slept in days.. juju's smile instantly dropped.

she looked at aliyah & could tell she hadn't slept in a while.. she forced a smile on her face as she didn't want to make her even more depressed at the moment..

"JUJUU" aliyah smiled hugging her right.. again she did get lonely most of the time .

"hey lili" juju said smiling a real smile though.

"what's up ? wanna hang ?" she said.

"actually yes, but i want you to come to my dorm all the girls are there" juju said hoping she'd come.

"oh okay, just lemme get dressed" she said.

"li it's fine.. it's almost 8 p.m. wear what you got on" ju said.

"okay, let's go" aliyah said happily.

she was so happy they wanted to hang with her & not trying to hide because she is still healing.

aliyah held juju's hand as they walked.. juju didn't find it weird , but learned that she did this to feel safe & protected.. she also did it because she wanted the person she was with to be close by her side so nothing happened to either one of them. it was just a habit she endured after the incident .
