Flashback
May 10,2009

"I'll talk to y'all later I gotta go home see yall later" Tanijah said to her group of friends.

Turning around heading towards the exit she looks to her left and sees her mama pulling up in front of her, she jumps into the car "Hey mama I wrote a song today" Tanijah nervously said to her mother as she got into the car.

"You know you can't hide your talent for long Tanijah Amour, God created that gift for everyone to hear it." Symoje tells her daughter looking at her with a smile on her face through the mirror.

Her mother goes quiet and keeps driving,
Stopping at the light Symoje turns around in her seat to look at Tanijah "I love you mini mouse." Tanijah kept quiet slightly smiling at her "I love you ten times infinity mama." Tanijah said smiling.

Little did tanijah know that was gonna be the last time her mother would say "I love you." too her, They didn't realize that a 18 wheeler would crush the car leaving Tanijah barely breathing but alive and her mother dead.

Flashback Over

"Why am I still here, I'm supposed to be at an
Interview with Kathy Rovers." Tanijah said getting nervously hostile to her manager Ryan heart .

Everyone scattered the room when they heard her speak, Tanijah had a scary personality that almost made you take yourself out of the game almost as if she had no sympathy for the world and people.

"CALISTA, it's not that hard to tie a bow can we hurry this shit up I don't even feel like doing this today "
Tanijah said to her designer as she looks ahead almost about to start crying as she starts to remember today was the day she lost her mother.

"Tanijah... Kathy can't make it to your interview so we have a new face here today a woman's activist actually you might know her." her manager Ryan spoke to her in a very monotone voice

"Well what the fuck are we waiting on can I go out to speak to her then? This is getting boring standing in here looking at the same people I see all the time."
Tanijah ranted on and on about the same thing everyday but they know why it gets annoying to her because they are always around.

Tanijah begins to walk out the dressing room
And onto the stage where she sees no one other then her childhood best friend dej the one and only person Tanijah could ever talk to without hiding herself.

"Hello, Tanijah You're looking and smelling so good today, what's this you're wearing on this lovely Friday afternoon?" Dej asks her

"Hello Dej, I'm wearing my own brand of purfume
Called Stand up Girl. Also I'm wearing Marc Jacob's designs." Tanijah twirls around with a giggle

"Ooh nice." Dej responded with a smile on her face
"Well my questions for you are, when will we receive another album, do you believe that the songs you did with quavo and kehlani are played out or not played enough?."

"Honestly I don't know if you heard but a little birdie told me earlier that I have a album releasing Tomorrow at midnight be there or be square because this album has all the hits for sure, but Dej I might have to leave the conversation a bit earlier than expected I have to go." Tanijah responds with a lite smile.

"That's a wrap." The camera man yells out
Dej walks up to Tanijah "I miss you ni I haven't talked to you in a year, I text you and you leave me on read I called, you never called me back. I know this is hard for you but you have to let somebody in before it gets a little bit too late." Dej says looking at her best friend of 14 years

"Dej... I know I just don't know it's been years and I'm still not over her death I keep having set backs, last year I stopped talking to everybody because I genuinely thought I was gonna die I imagined myself in that front seat I just can't believe that I'm the only one that survived that was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life Dej this still hurts." Tanijah cries out as she hugs Dej tightly.

"Let's go out tonight okay? I don't want you wallowing tonight your mama would not want you to be wallowing either trust me I knew your mom" Dej and Tanijah chuckled lightly

"Okay, you know where I live just make sure you don't bring Malcom in the middle, oops I mean Madison." Tanijah said bursting out laughing while Dej joins but stops.

"Girl Madison hates our guts so bad for something that happened in 9th grade that we didn't even do."
Dej said laughing hard.

"No for real I wonder if she still think we put her business on that bleacher, but im going to see you later when you come to my house." Tanijah said

They walk off  from each other and go there separate ways until they see each other later both girls happy that they finally got their bond back, both girls needing a listening ear again.
