Nothing else to lose.

sixteen.

(This is fiction, anything can happen lol. Also I know this story is moving quickly, sorry.)

Months passed still coping with her life. She would get happy and would act really okay and happy when around people but deep down she was pushing down the yearn she felt for Tamela, fighting down the love she had for her that she thought was just a phase.

She would go on fasting , renewing her body and asking forgiveness from God and asking for her heart to change because she didn't want to feel these feelings for her. She didn't want to do that to herself anymore, she wanted to be happy and move on from Drew. She would work and prepare sermons to keep herself from not being busy even though she didn't preach anymore .

Her sisters didn't even know about those months away from home, no one knew and she was definitely going to keep it that way.

She also recently started therapy which she was still getting used to because she hasn't spoken about everything that has happened or she hasn't mentioned Tamela yet to her therapist .

Her sisters were in her house , chilling with her as usual but to her it seemed like her sisters hated their house because the were always at hers.
Her sister Jacky was cooking and Karen was helping her out while Twinkie was watching the news with Dorinda.

"I mean Tamela was very private but we do know that she has 0 family members. I mean if I was 37 and was a billionaire I would see myself married with kids maybe , now there's probably no one on her bed side. " one host on the television said.

Tamela's name started popping up on TV and more on social media as Tamela Johnson when her company hit the billionaire status that she was working hard over and Karen was very proud of her even if she didn't want anything to do with her at the time.

"Turn that up. " Karen said walking over to Twinkie at the television .

"I know, you would think money can buy you everything right? " the other host said.

"Unfortunately it can't buy you skin that bullets can't pierce through. " the host said.

"Oh my God! She was shot?!" Karen asked .

"Yea you didn't know? It's all over the place." Jacky said.

"No, what happened? " Karen asked.

"The girl was walking out of a building and they heard gunshots and her bodyguard covered her body trying to protect her, he was found dead at the scene... she was taken to the hospital and has been in there for like 2 days. " Dorinda said she took all this information from the Internet

"Oh my God Demetrius. " Karen said with tears in her eyes.

"Who? Karen are you okay? " Twinkie asked and Dorinda just looked at her baby sister confused.

"Where do you think she was taken?" Karen asked.

"Well it happened in New York so she was probably there , Karen what's wrong?" Dorinda asked.

"Why do you care so much?" Twinkie asked.

"I know her." Karen said and the sisters looked at each other.

"I gotta go- , can ya'll lock the house for me? " Karen said going upstairs to get her things so she can fly to New York .

"Karen calm down you're not making any sense." Jacky said watching Karen searching for her car keys.

"I don't have time to explain Jacky, I'll be back to explain can someone drive me to the airport? " Karen asked and on her way she was booking a flight to New York and by the grace of God there was one that came sooner than later. It was awkward during her and Dorinda's ride because Dorinda wanted answers and Karen was just trying to stop herself from crying.
