Royalty-Ann.

"You look so cute" Amerie teased.

I was wearing my dog onesie since I can't go to Julliard I didn't really apply anywhere else.

"Yeah yeah, so do you"

She smiled twirling around.

"Well girl, I'm off I will let you know what happens and if I can get you a space in this place, if you need anything you call me or Jerome okay?"

I nodded as we shared a hug. Jerome lives literally next door so everything is okay.

"Have fun sis"

"I will try, don't upset ya self while I'm gone"

I smiled and waved as she left the house. I sighed realising there was nothing really to do. I saw my phone flash for a facetime with Lianne.

"Omg did I wake you?"

I smiled, honestly this is the first time we've facetimed.

"No no, I've been up, wussup?"

She smiled.

"You really are pretty"

"Thank you" I said slightly blushing. "Wussup?"

"Just wanted to see if your okay, since you carrying"

"Oh hun, I'm fine just in the house bored"

"You don't have college?"

"Ah well no, since I'm pregnant and I only applied to Julliard"

She frowned.

"Sorry, I will beat up Chris for you"

I smiled.

"How is he?"

"He's doing it big, his first day of this basketball place, just hope he makes it ya know?"

I looked down at my stomach then back at the screen.

"Yeah me too"

"He misses you"

I chewed on my bottom lip preventing myself from crying.

"I miss him too Li, tell him I said hi or something"

"I will, Ima let you rest speak to you soon"

We said our byes then hung up. I lay back on the bed and sighed. This was going to be really hard.

Chris.

"Sup man, this your first year?"

I nodded dapping him.

"Well I'm Jase, thats Mike and Roman"

I looked up and he smiled.

"Ay bro, didn't know you into b ball" He said dapping me.

I laughed.

"Hell yeah , ball is life" I joked.

"Wait yall know each other?" Jase asked.

"Yeah man, this lil nigga dating my lil sister" Roman said.

I sighed looking down.

"Yall still date right?"

"Ngl is complicated, but I will explain after"

He nodded before the coach called us over.

"Didn't know the first day was gonna be so hard" I said wiping my face with my towel.

"Hell yeah and since you the newbie, its worst for you"

"Man" I groaned sitting down.

He chuckled.

"So...you and my sister...."

I sighed.

"Man, I love her don't get it twisted but you know hr ex?"

"The one that got her the gig with Julliard?"

I nodded.

"Yeah he's lost it, he told me its either I leave and take money that he offers me or he gets someone till kill me ...but before this I already planned on coming out here to do basketball, at prom I told Ro Ima be leave he slapped me and never spoke to me again, like at graduation I tried...well you saw I tried but she wasn't having it"

He sighed.

"Does she know?"

"No, because now apparently I never loved her and I took the money to get away from her"

"That's what he said to her?"

I nodded.

"So why can't Jerome tell the truth?"

"Well he text me the day after I left telling me about how he threatened him too, but he found out its something Reece has on him and he's the snake"

"Man, that's all nuts, have you spoken to Ro?"

I shook my head.

"And she's pregnant"

"Shit again?"

"I remember her telling me on prom she had news to tell me but she insited I told her my news first, now I'm missing out but one thing I know is she keeps in contact with my cousin"

"That's iyte, I can talk to her if you like?"

"Man, I ain't tryna get you involved in this stupid street shit, you good only time will tell but just know I would never hurt her"

"Man if I see that Kayshawn nigga again Ima fuck his shit up fr fr"

"I don't blame you, Jerome really wants to but its long cah then we gonna have to use guns and shit"

"I hear you, but you and Ro need to sort something out since she carrying ya child, we don't need another baby funeral"

"I hear that man, I do"

Kayshawn.

I watched Reece closely.

"You good homes?"

"I'm good, who was you on the phone too?"

"Some girl I met today at college, that place is nuts fr"

"Oh..."

"Wussup Shawn?"

"Nun, I wanted to go see Royalty today"

"Yall cool?"

"Well she cried on my shoulder so why not? And Amerie prob still at college"

"Iyte, well Ima check this girl out"

I chuckled as we dapped.

"Iyte homie see you later"

I watched as he walked out and got in his car . I took it upon myself to get in my car and follow him.

"I knew it" I mumbled.

I watched as he hugged Sammy then walked into the house behind her.
