I'll tell you when to play the song.

SOUNDCLOUD: Drake shot for me slowed.
Enjoy

My aunt instructed me over the phone to go to the Music Center where Denzel will be rehearsing, then tell the security that I'm Monroe's niece and I have a message.

After I did that, Wolf and I stood outside of the door waiting for something to happen. It seemed like it was going to rain soon because the clouds were so dark.
"You think they'll let us in?" Wolf asked.
"I hope."
"If they don't I'm gonna-"
"Wolf!"
He smiled, "just kidding!"

I laughed and nudged him.
"I was thinking," he said, "I might get my GED."
I gasped, "you should!"
"I just don't really feel like doing it."
"Wolfey!"
"What?"
"You have to do work sometimes."
He sighed, "yeah I know. I work a lot, school work just isn't my thing."

I wrapped my arms around him, "I'll help you!"
He smirked, "help me what?"
"I'll help you study!"
He laughed, "babe if I fail, I fail. I'm not studying."
I grunted, "you're gonna study if it's the last thing you do!"

Suddenly the rusty back door opened, and a security guard invited us in. Wolf grabbed my hand and walked me inside. We walked down a dark hallway, then found ourselves backstage.
I could hear Denzel rehearsing one of his older songs.

"They're here," the guard said. The guard nudged me forward to the stage, Wolf following.
Denzel stopped singing and looked at me with his jaw dropped.
"Wow," he said, "you look just like Monroe!"

I giggled, "Yeah, I get that a lot."
He put the mic on the ground then walked up to me.
"How old are you now?"
"Eighteen!"

From the corner of my eye I noticed Wolf picked up the microphone and walked out to the stage.
"So," Denzel said, "what's up?"
"Well, I went to see my Aunt today and she wanted me to tell you something."

He took a deep breath and let it out, "what is it?"

"She's pregnant."

*start song*
His jaw dropped then suddenly I heard a beat start.

"I can see it in your eyes your angry
Regret got shit on what your feelin now

Mad cause he ain't like me
Oh you mad cause nobody ever did it like me."

Denzel and I both looked on the stage to find Wolf singing into the mic, and the band behind him playing.
"That's your boyfriend?" Denzel asked.
I smiled, "yeah."
"Isn't he The Wolf?"
I laughed, "yeah."

"I'm the man, yeah I said it

Bitch I'm the man don't you forget it!"

"He can sing," Denzel said.
"Yeah, he's really good!"
"Does he sing on the side or something?"
"No."

He's a dope dealer on the side.

"Well," Denzel said with a smile, "If you guys are staying tonight, I want him to open my show for me."

OH MY GOSHHH!!!!

"WOLF!"
*stop song*

"Wolf!!" I ran up to him and he stopped singing.
"Yeah?"
"Denzel said you can open his show for him tonight!"

Wolf's jaw dropped then he sighed and shook his head, "Baby I can't do that."
"What?! Why?"
"I-I don't know-"

Denzel walked next to us, "it'll be the greatest experience of your life, Wolf."
"But..well I guess you're right."

I squealed and jumped on Wolf. He laughed and held me.
"Who knows!" Denzel said, "maybe one day you'll be as big as Mustafa!"

We laughed, Mustafa is the most famous singer who's ever lived. But, it's nice to imagine that.

"Listen," Denzel said, "I'll get you a hotel near here. My stylist will bring you clothes for your performance, and a backstage pass for both of you."

Wolf smiled, "alright..sounds good."
"And Jodie," Denzel said, "Thanks for telling me about Monroe."
"No problem!" I hugged him then grabbed Wolf's hand.

"Thanks!" Wolf yelled to Denzel as we left.
"No problem! See you tonight!"
