Danni

"Listen Danni, your vacation has to be over. I know you've been going through a lot but I need you to get back to work."

I knew calling my label was a horrible idea. They seemed to be pushing me hard these last few weeks, and with me relocating and Summer Jam vastly approaching they wanted me there.

"Daniel, Cathy come on guyssss." I know that whining won't get me anywhere but it was all I had left. It had been extention after extention and now I'm sure they've been warn out.

"Come on baby! It'll be great!! Plus I need you to pull a couple appearances so I can get you on this international tour!!"

Chipper ass.

"You sure I'm public enough for an international tour?"

She scoffed, "if you'd get back on Twitter and Instagram you'd see everyone loves you. Get back in the game mama. 3 months is a long time."

Nodding my head as if she could see me. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror at myself.

I no longer saw what I did three months ago. No longer being a James, now only a Vega. The name change helped me see. Now I didn't see a broken, cold hearted girl. The girl who would let everyone run over her. The girl who refused to be beautiful because her past led her to believe that she could never be seen in that way.

I now saw a confident well spoken girl. She was vibrant in color. No longer hiding from who she was. Brown skin complimenting my attitude letting me know no can be stronger.

"Danni!!" Cathy's yelling broke me out of my trance.

"Cathy, I was having an epiphany here." She laughed with me giving me the run down on my upcoming endeavors including Summer Jams.

"Garrett, baby you shouldn't have." I heard Cathy gasp through my headphones I was now sporting so that I could get to sound check.

Garrett, where the fuck have I heard that before?

"Cath, I'm going to let you get back to your man. I'm in the car now and I'm driving so I'm going to call you and David after sound check and let you know how it went since I don't get rehearsals."

She went on laughing calling me a drama queen. Hanging up I drove toward the grounds thinking of what I've let into my life after my experiences.

Cathy, Odell, Tey. They have all been there for me in ways I haven't even been able to comprehend until now.

Just thinking of Odell and Cathy since I've been down they made it their duty to pick me back up. Cathy was the mother I always wanted. She was the reason I'd been so relaxed.

She wasn't my therapist but she did know a bit about how to help me with my life. I haven't told her everything, but I've told her enough to always make sure she's around.

She also loves the thought of Odell. Of course me and him aren't together. I'm not ready to be in any relationship or for any type of sex at this moment plus he's not checking for me like that any way.

He's just that guy friend that I never had. I never thought I could be close to a guy other than my favorite month in summer. Especially after being a mistress.

When I told Odell he seemed to not take offense to it. He was just supportive and welcoming. I personally think he likes Tey but that's out the window. Him and Shump would kill each other.

I shook my head at myself as I arrived my destination checking my email for my set list that Cath was sending. "Okay, best mistake, one thi-- oww." I was sent to the ground.

"Ma bad mama. You aight?" It can't be. I'm not looking up. If I don't look up he'll go away.

"Danielle." I did the opposite of what I wanted, staring into those brown eyes that I dream about. He stuck his hand out for me to grab.

"I'm going to kill you Cathy." I mumbled taking his hand. "August. You're here, in New York." He nodded.

I felt my neck being touched and my necklace being lifted. I looked down seeing a beautiful caramel toned baby in a carrier on his chest. "Yeah, daddy has good taste huh?" He cooed.

Me though, I was stunned. So the rumors were true...? The baby was his?

"I-I have to go. It was nice seeing you. Bye." I began to speed walk to the stage. I could feel Danielle James trying to rise but I wasn't letting her, not this time.

I was stronger than my fear.
