La'Star POV
As I laid in bed , all I could think about was Desmond , it's been 2 months since I last seen him, which was when he was packing his things. I tried pleading with him to stay , but he said he needed time to think.
I don't blame him..I was wrong. Nyck called me a few times , but I always short answered him. I wanted Desmond , and I had to have him.
"Woke up in the hills this morning
Asking myself, how did I get here this morning?
'Vante Parker in that teal and orange
And Russell in that gold and purple
Youngest from the Ville, important
I used to sit up in my room and ponder
Finished school and get a Doctors
I'm twenty-two, I gotta get it now
Man who knew he'd have it figured out?"
As I rolled over to Bryson Tiller's voice , Paula's picture flashed on my lock screen. I didn't wanna answer , but something told me to.
"Hello" I answered dryly
"GIRL , TURN TO THE NEWS!!" she yelled in my ear
The urgency in her voice made my heart stop. I quickly turned to the news.
"Today the police found the body of Candice White in her home dead , from an overdose." the news man reported
"oh..my..god.. Paula, this can't be right.."
"what do you mean?"
"overdose? Candice never did drugs."
"Girl , you never know what people do behind close doors.."

Desmond POV
I was in my office looking over our sales, when Keem busted into my office.
"Bruh, Candice is dead!"
"dead??"
"yes , from an overdose!"
"how could that be possible?"
"what do you mean how?.."
"Candice didn't do drugs , a few bottles of liquor..yes , but drugs no."
"Des, something ain't right.." he said
no shit.
I started thinking about what Candice told me..about keeping my eyes on Keem.
"Keem , did you ever hang out with Candice?"
"Hell no. Why would I?"
It's funny how Candice told me to watch out for Keem and now she's dead..
"I don't know.."
Keem looked at me sideways and shrugged his shoulders.
"I just came to give you the news.." he said as he turned for the door.
I thought about the shit Candice be getting herself into..maybe that's what brought her to her death.
damn , Candice. What did you do?
