::: 3 Days Later:::
::: Monday morning:::
:::Janay:::

I rolled over in the bed and checked my phone. I had a message from Justin, Jacob and Prince. I opened Jacobs and it read. "Good morning babe. I'm at the studio recording right now but u can swing by here later to see me. I love you." I smiled at the text and got up.

I think me and Jacob are gonna be a good couple. I went to the bathroom and did my regular hygiene. After I was done I made my way to the closet and started to pick out my clothes.

I heard the door open and close behind me so I quickly turned around. It was ray. "Ray get out I'm naked!" I told him gripping on to my towel. "Nothing I haven't seen before." He told me. I heard the door lock and he walked forward.

"Ray at least let me put some clothes on." I told him. By time I had finished that sentence he was standing right in front of me. No space between us. He placed his hands on my waist and smashed his lips into mine.

I'm not gonna lie. I liked it. A lot. But this isn't right. I'm dating Jacob. I softly pushed him away from me enough to break the kiss. "Ray. This isn't right. You, you should go." I said looking at his lips wanting more.

He smirked and licked his lips. Oh sweet Jesus! I thought. "Alright but this ain't over." He said. He kissed my lips one last time and walked out the door. I stood shocked. " what the fuck just happen?" I quietly whispered to my self.

I finally picked out my white jean shorts and a cute black and white crop top. I lotion my body and put my clothes on with my black and white Nike's. I changed my all pink mustache belly button piercing to my lime green flower.

After I was done. I went in the kitchen and got me a bag of lays chips and water. I seen ray in the kitchen but I ignored him. I tried walking past him but he pulled me into him. "Ray. Can you please just leave me alone." I said. "Not till I get what I want." He smirked. He kissed me again and I returned the favor. His hands slid from my arms to my waist and from there to my butt.

He lightly squeezed my butt causing me jump. I laughed and continued kissing him. Wait what am I doing!? I pushed him away and slowly backed up. I touched my lips and looked at ray. The night we broke up kept flashing in my head. I repeatedly shook my head. " I um. I gotta go." I ran out the kitchen and grabbed my keys. "I told you this wasn't over." He said as he step out the kitchen and looked at me.

I shot him a death glare and rolled my eyes. I need to get away.

:::Alicia:::

Me, Star, Beauty and Babydoll were out shopping at the local mall that was closes to the house that Uncle T.I. Owned. Yes we have been out here for a damn month and a half. One because star is fucking watching Ray and his every move. Lord please help this child. and two because we are going on tour with them in two more months.

Star said that she plans on getting Ray back and she will hurt anyone who gets in her way. I don't believe her but you can never underestimate a person cause you never know what they are capable of doing. I shook my head remembering the night that she attempted to fight that one gi-

"Lisha!" Star yelled at me. Pulling me out of my thoughts. "What!?" I snapped back. "I asked you a question. Isn't that, that girl who tried to beat my ass?" She asked pointing to a girl who walked across the store window. I laughed a little.

"Hahaha. Yes and she didn't try boo. She did." I laughed and Babydoll laughed along With me. Star shot is a both a death glare and rolled her eyes. "Whatever. All I know is that bitch better watch out. Cause she got what's coming for her." Star said. I smirked. "Well instead of telling me why don't you tell her yourself?" I challenged.

Star glanced toward the entrance and saw her walk in. She slowly started making her way to her. Star tapped her on the shoulder and she simply turned around. "Hi. Um Jay. Jessica whatever your name is. All I want to tell you is that you better watch your back." Star snorted. The girl laughed and rolled her eyes.

"One my name is Janay. And two watch my back for what? Cause you ain't gonna do shit but attempt to pull my hair." Janay said smirking. I saw star start to grow angry as she stormed out the store causing me and Janay to burst in laughter.

"Hhahahahah. Hi my name is Alicia. And I'm guessing your Janay." I said holding my hand out. She smiled and shook it. "Yes. And nice to meet you Alicia. If you don't mind me asking. Why in the hell are you friends with her?" She asked making a stank face.

I laughed. "I'm pretty sure you've heard of the OMG girls. But do you remember when there was four of us?" I asked her. She shook her head yes then a few moments later her eyes grew big once it donned on her. "OMG! I totally forgot that you were in that group. Why'd you drop out?" She asked me.

I sighed and said. "At the time I was
little and the fame was too much. I couldn't keep my grades up. The screaming fans. I mean I loved it but after awhile it got irritating." I said. Me and her payed for our items and walked out.

"Hey are you hungry?" She asked me. I shook my head. "Yes. I'm like freaking starving. Let's go to the food court."I suggested. "Ooh yeah. Cause I really wanna try this Chinese food place. Called new china 2" she said excited. We linked arms and walked to the food court and got our food.

As we sat down star and the other girls came and sat down along with us. I introduced the other girls to Janay. "Babydoll and beauty this is Janay. The girl that was at that party." I said. They laughed and said. "You mean the one that beat Stars ass?!""Shut up bitch and she didn't beat my ass! I was just drunk that night." Star lied. I rolled my eyes. " star you know good and well that you didn't drink at that damn party. Fuck outta here." I said irritated by her. She rolled her eyes and looked away. That's what I thought.

Me and the other girls joked and talked with Janay as star gave her a stank look. Janay looked her way and tried to make conversation. "So Star. What do you like to do for fun?" Janay asked nicely. Stars had snapped in her direction as she glared evilly at Janay. "Listen. I don't like you. And you don't like me. So let's make this very clear. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Don't try me. And Don't do shit that relates to this here person." Star scoffed pointing to herself.

Janay slowly nodded her as she looked around. "And now let me make something very CLEAR with you. What you say or do. Does not phase me nor scare me. And also I never said I don't like you. You assumed I don't like you. But really I don't give to shits. I'm trying to be nice.You also don't like me because supposedly I stole your sorry excuse of a boyfriend." Janay told her in a very calm like tone. Yo I like this girl. She got serious balls. That didn't sound right but y'all know what I mean!

"Bitch!-""it's Janay. Not bitch." She smiled cutting star off. "Like I was saying! Bitch you did steal my boyfriend. He was mine way before yours." Star said rolling her neck. "Okay one stop rolling your neck before it rolls all the way back to Atlanta. And two I don't care! You can have him back if you want cause I don't want him! Damn y'all hoes always claiming what's yours when that nigga don't want you or don't want nothing to do with you. So you can go somewhere else with that shit." Janay said. She got up from the table and handed me a sheet with her number on it.

"Here's my number Call me when you wanna hang again. Okay? I'm bout to go I have better things to do than talk about irrelevant shit. So See y'all later." She said and walked off. I bust out laughing as star shot me a death glare. "The fuck you laughing for!?" Star sneered. "Because you just got told what's up. And you mad because she told the truth." I said as I got up prepared to leave. "Let's go. I'm ready to go home." I said. I threw away my food tray and we walked out to the car with bags in hand.

:::Janay:::
When I got in my car I just laughed to my self. That bitch really don't like me because I was dating Ray? Hoes these days. What would you do with out them?

I put my keys in the ignition and started the car and drove off. I drove down the L.A. Strip for a good 30 minutes till I reached the house. When I got out the car I seen someone on the step sitting down waiting. It was Cohran.

When the fuck did he get here? And how?. I walked closer to the steps as I seen him look up at me. He quickly stood to his feet and smiled. "Oh my gosh Janay! I haven't seen you in like two months." He said tightly squeezing me. I didn't hug him back nor smile.

When he let me go I stared blankly at him. "Why are you here?" I asked him bluntly as I pushed passed him and opened the door to the house. "Well I wanted to see my boo because I missed you. And plus I'm out here on spring break." He said following me in the house.

No one was home so it's just me and Cohran. "What the fuck do you mean boo. Dude you fucking cheated on me with one of my worst enemies from fucking 5th grade. Then lied and said that, that was your cousin when I asked you about it!? You know what? You can leave with all that bullshit. Bye." I said opening the door back up waiting for him to leave.

His jaw tightened and his nostrils flared as he shot me a death glare. "Who the fuck are you talking too?" He grunted. I rolled my eyes and spoke. "I'm obviously talking to you. Your the only one here!" I shouted and before I knew it. I lied on the floor holding my cheek looking up at an angry Cohran.

Tears fell down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them. I opened my mouth to speak but Cohran gripped my throat. "Don't say a fucking word. You understand me." He said in a sinister tone. I quickly nodded my head and he let me go. I gasped and coughed as I set up still holding my cheek.

I thought about saying something but I didn't want to risk getting choked again. He looked at me and laughed. "Awe what's wrong? You need some water?" He laughed. I slowly nodded my head. He got up and went to the kitchen getting me something to drink.

I quickly got up and ran up the stairs to ray's room. I locked the door and pulled my phone out and dialed the first person I saw. Ray. It rang and rang but no answer. I panicked and called Jacob the second person. "Janay! Open this motherfucking door!?" Cohran screamed.

Scared out of my mind I tried thinking as hard as I could. I ran into rays walk in closet and hid behind a pile of clean and dirty clothes. My heart sped up and I started shaking and crying. I then called Justin because all these other fuckers won't answer the phone.

The door busted open and Justin finally answered. "Hello?" He spoke. "J-Justin I need your h-help." I said crying as I spoke. "JANAY I KNOW YOUR IN HERE!" Cohran yelled. "J-Justin please come to the house I need your help." I cried. "Janay what's wrong!?" He said. I heard the panic in his voice as he spoke.

The door to the closet bust open and He walked in. "Janayyy." He sung. I held my hand up to my mouth and cried as silently as I could. I feel like I'm in a fucking scary movie hiding from Jason or some shit.

Cohran started pushing through the clothes that hung in the closet and I cried more and more. When he reached the side I was on my heart dropped he pushed the clothes aside and looked down. He smiled and grabbed me by my hair pulling me out the closet.

I kicked and screamed as I tried to get out of his grip. He threw me against rays wall causing me to hit my head. "Shut the fuck up Janay! Damn!" He said.

He walked over to me and bent down to my level. I closed my eyes and grabbed my head moaning in pain. He touched my chin and looked at me angrily. More tears fell as I looked away.

He's known what I've been through so why this? What's wrong with him. "Janay. You know I would never hurt you. And I'm sorry but." He stood up and pulled out a gun from behind him. My mouth creaked opened and I cried more.

He clicked the gun back and sighed. "Cohran-" "shut up. Just shut up." He yelled shaking his head. I knew he didn't want to do it. But the question is. why is he doing it?

Cohran pulled the trigger back four times sending two bullets into the left side of my stomach and two in my right shoulder. He backed away slowly shaking his head.

He left out the house running down the hill and into traffic getting rid of the gun and the gloves that he wore. I cried as I tried to get up. I held my stomach with my left hand. When I arose I looked down at my blood filled hand and fell back down hitting my head on Rays dresser blacking out.

:::Jacob:::

While I was in the studio recording I had got a call from Janay but I ignored it because I was in the middle of taking care of business and I told myself I'd call her right back.

That was before I got the worst news in my life. Janay had been shot and is now in the hospital. I grabbed my keys and ran out to my car driving to the hospital as quickly as possible.

When I arrived I seen that everyone was already in the waiting room waiting to hear what was going on. And if she's okay or not. I seen Justin sitting down with his hands to his face and looking down. His shirt and hands were covered in blood as well.

Ray was crying along with Christina, Tyra, and Tiffany. As for Prod, Prince and Roc they set by and comforted the girls. I sighed and took a seat next to Justin.

"Aye man. Have y'all heard any news on her yet" I asked. Justin didn't move or nothing he just gave me a plain and simple "No" I shook my head and started to think. Was that the reason she was calling me? Because she needed help? This is all of my fault. If I answered the phone then maybe we won't be sitting here right now.

"Family of Janay Monroe." The doctor said. We all stood and looked at the doctor. "Um. Who's the closet relative or friend?" "Me" Ray Justin and I said. Me and Justin looked at ray giving him an irritated look. "I'm her boyfriend." I spoke. "And I'm like her brother" Justin said. The doctor nodded and spoke. "Follow me you two." He said signaling us to the back.

We walked down the hall and entered a elevator going up to the fourth floor. "Janay was shot a total of four times. Twice in the left part of her stomach and twice in her right shoulder. She also has an concussion." He said looking at his clipboard.

"Can we see her?" Justin asked sighing. "Um yes. She should be awake now. Oh and we are going to keep her over night so that we can perform the surgery to remove the bullets." He said. When we reached the room Janay was in he knocked on the door and let us walk in.

Janay was asleep at the time. She had a white bandage around her head as she slept, I pulled up a seat beside her and so did Justin. He took her hand and kissed it, while I gave him a weird look.

"Do you know who did this?" I asked him. He sighed and said "No, when I arrived she was covered in blood and unconscious.". I leaned up and gave Janay a kiss on the cheek and set back down. Moments later her eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room.

Justin sat up and smiled at her. "Hey. Nay nay how you feeling." He asked her. She smiled and looked at me. The smile she once had disappeared. "Why are you here?" She moaned. I let out a small sigh "Janay I'm sorry. You know I would've answered-""Yeah, but you didn't. You can exit to the right." She said.

I shook my head and stood to my feet and tried to give her a kiss but she turned her head the other way. I turned her head back towards me and kissed her. She smiled a little and looked the other way. Before I walked out I said "I Love you." I blew her a kiss and left out the room.

I walked to car and noticed I for got my hat up in janays room. I ran back in there to get it and saw everyone in the waiting area still. All except ray. When I reached her room the door was cracked and her and ray were talking. So I listened. "I love you." They both said. I was beyond pissed and bust through the door.

:::Janay:::
I shook my head and rolled my eyes as Jacob exited the room. I'm mad at him and ray if they would've answered there phones then maybe I wouldn't be laying here right now.

"Are you okay Janay?" Justin asked me. I smiled and set up. "Yes. I'm okay. Just a little upset." I said grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. When I turned on the TV my picture was on the screen.

"17 year old Janay Monroe was shot tonight a total of 4 times and found unconscious at mindless behaviors home in East L.A. We will be back with more information. Back to you Frank." The news reporter said. I laughed and rolled my eyes. "They really have me on the news? It's not even that serious." I said. Justin laughed and shrugged. "It must be. Aye Imma run down and get the others for you." He said.

When I tried to get up a shooting pain shot through my stomach and shoulder. Tears of pain shot out of my eyes as I lied back down.

"Awe look at my baby!" Tyra Christina and Tiffany cried out. All of there eyes were red signaling that they've been crying. "Are you okay?" Tyra asked as they all crowded around my bed. "I'm fine you guys. Just in a little pain." I said.

"Your a tuff one Janay." Roc said punching my right arm. "Dammit Roc!! That's the arm I was shot in!" I yelled crying a little. "Oh shit. My bad." He said laughing a little. "Hey y'all can I talk to Janay alone real quick?" Ray asked. They all shook their heads and walked out and went back to the waiting area.

Ray looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. He walked next to me and took my hand and rubbed it. "What do you want ray?" I asked him. "Janay look at me." He said. I did as told and looked him in the eye. I could tell he had been crying. He leaned over in the bed and kissed me.

This kiss, this kiss was the most passionate sweet loving and lustful kisses I have ever had. He pulled away and sighed."I'm just glad your alive. And I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone when you tried to ca-"" no. It's okay. I forgive you." I said cutting him off. I smiled and kissed him again. "I love you." We both said in sync.

The door bust open and Jacob came rushing through. "So this is the reason you won't talk to me or open up to me!?"

"Jacob no it's not like that!" I yelled.

"No it is like that! How the fuck you gon cheat on me with a nigga that don't even love you and cheated on your ass!? And to think that I actually loved you. Nah Fuck that shit!" He yelled at me. I began to tear up. He grabbed his hat and walked out the room.

Ray sat in the seat laughing as I shot him a death glare. "This shit is not funny! This is all of your fault! Your the reason me and him just broke up! If you would leave me alone like I asked you too! This wouldn't have happened!" I yelled.

Rat stood to his feet and pointed his finger at me. "Don't you dare blame all this shit on and think it's okay! Yea so what we kissed but the key word is WE! So your in this shit to damnit! So It's not all my fault!" He yelled at me. I bowed my head in shame. Ray was just as guilty as I was.

"Ray. Just leave. I'll be home by tomorrow afternoon." I said. He sighed and walked out. I laid my head back on my pillow and a tear slipped out of my eye. My life is so fucked up.

By night fall my doctor walked in and told me that it was time for my surgery. He rolled me down the hall and into the room my surgery would be taking place in. I got up laid down on the surgery table. "Now Janay were gonna give you a shot that will put you to sleep." He said. "Am I going to feel anything because....... I...... Do..... I don't -" and before I can complete my sentence I was knocked out.

:::Tyra:::

After seeing Janay at the hospital we decided to go out and eat at Red Lobster. We walked into the restaurant and set in the waiting area till a table was cleared. I laid my head on Prince's shoulder and closed my eyes. Today's been a long as day.

"Table for 8." The lady said. We stood up and followed her to a closed off part of the restaurant. We set at a circles booth. "A waiter shall be with you in just a few minutes." She smiled and walked off.

Booth arrangements: Justin Tiffany Prod Christina Roc Prince Me and ray.

"Man today has been a long ass day." I said looking through the menu.

"I'm sayin." Christina said. "I'm ready to go home and get in the bed." Tiffany said.

"Aye I think we should get Janay some balloons and stuff for when she come home." Justin said. I looked up and smiled. "Yeah that's a good idea." I said.

I'm not even gonna lie Justin is sexy as fuck. He better be lucky I'm with prince because if I wasn't. Lord have mercy. Lemme stop.

The waiter came out smiling and took out her notepad to take our orders. "Good Afternoon. My name is Maya and I'll be your server today. Can I start you all of with something to drink." She asked.

"Um ill take a sprite." I said
"Water please?" Tiffany said.
"Sweet tea" Roc said.
"Sprite." Justin said.
"Sprite." Christina said.
"Coke" ray said.
"Water" Princeton said.

Maya smiled. "okay your drinks will be out in a few." She said and walked away. "So? How long have you known Janay?" I said trying to make small talk with Justin.

"Um since the middle of 8th grade year." He said. "So y'all are pretty close huh?" Tiffany asked. "Yeah. She like a sister I never had. Hahaha. I love that girl." He laughed a little, smiling.

40 minutes later we payed for our food after we finished eating and started to head home. I gathered my clothes and prepared to take a shower. Before I could walk into the bathroom Princeton pulled me into him and kissed me.

"Where do you think your going?" He asked while whispering. "Well I was about to go take a shower." I said. "Hmm. How bout we take one together?" He asked me still whispering.

"As fun as that sounds-""so come on." He pulled me into the bathroom locked the door and automatically started tonguing me down. I smiled and lifted his shirt and taking it off. I walked over and turned the shower on.

"Come on." I said seductively motioning my finger. He smirked and took the rest of his clothes off. He got in the shower and pinned me to the wall kissing me all over. "You better be lucky I don't have a condom."he grunted. I laughed a little.

"Slow down there buddy I'm not ready for sex yet." I said kissing his lips. I turned around and began to wash my body. After I rinsed off I grabbed my towel and climbed out of the shower leaving prince by himself.

I put my clothes on and prepared for bed. That is until Ray walked in and set at the end of the bed. "Can I try to make my move now? Janay and Jacob finally broke up." He said. I lifted up in the bed and gave off a crazed look.

"What the hell!? When!?" I asked completely shocked. "Today. He walked in on us kissing and broke up with her." Ray smiled. I shook my head. "Wow ray I didn't know you were that desperate." I said lying my head back on to my pillow.

"The hell? I'm not desperate!"

"You obviously are to go and break up a good relationship!" I yelled at him.

"Did you or did you not tell me to break them up and go in for the kill!?"

"I-"

"No did you or did you not!?" He yelled back cutting me off.

"I didn't! I specifically said wait for them to break up on their own! Then comfort her! I wouldn't dare tell you to go break a couple up just so you can be with the girl you want! That's a bitch move." I said sighing and shaking my head. "Ray just get out my room and go take a nap or something."

Ray did as told and got up walking off shaking his head. I laid back down and finally dosed off to sleep.

:::Janay:::

I woke up from surgery at about 2:30 in the afternoon. The doctor told me I was all set to leave and gave me a return date for my check up. He gave my medicine and ointment that will num the pain. I signed my release papers and made my way outside.

Just when I was about to sit Justin pulled up in my car. He got out and handed me a pink bear and a rose. "Awe thank you Justin!" I said hugging him and kissing his cheek.

"No problem boo. But hurry and get in the car everyone is waiting to see you back at the house." He said. He closed my door for me and rushed to the other side. He placed his seat belt on and took off.

It felt good to breath the fresh air again. Even though I've only been in the hospital for a day it felt like 3 months. Justin drove for a good 20 minutes till we reached the house.

"We're here!!" Justin cheered. I laughed and climbed out the car still holding on to my teddy bear. I walked to the door and opened it. "I'm homeee!" I yelled out. In instant it's like everyone came busting out their rooms.

"Janay!!!!!! OMG we are so glad that your okay and back home!" Tiffany yelled out. They all hugged me. "We should celebrate!" Christina said.

"We should! Go call twist, young Marcus. Our DJ Myles we having a party tonight." Tyra yelled. I smiled and set on the couch, but it faded when u thought if Jacob.

"Have any of y'all heard from Jacob?" I asked. They all sighed and shook their heads no. "Um. I'll be right back. I'm gonna go put my things away." I lied. I walked into me and Jacobs room and dialed his number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"H-hey. Um Jacob.-" I smiled

"Hahaha gotcha you've reached my voicemail. Talk later bye!" The line went dead and I hung up the phone. A tear slipped out of my eye but I wiped it away. I'm not gonna cry. It's not worth it.

When I returned down stairs everyone decided to go to the store to get the party supplies. I told them that I would stay back and clean the house.

When they left I decided to turn the radio on and dance around the house as I cleaned it. I was literally dancing like I had no since at all. Jacobs song "Nothing on me" came on and I did all the exact moves from the video. I spend around only to be met with Jacob Latimore. I paused the music.

"H-hey." I smiled. He blankly stared at me.

"I'm glad to see your feeling better. I'm just gonna get my things and leave." He said walking into the room. I followed behind him.

"Jacob. Wait. Can we talk? Please?" I pleaded. he stopped in his tracks and turned toward me. "I don't see why not." He said.

"Jake. I'm sorry I cheated on you with Ray. I didn't mean it. I don't even like him as much as I used too. Jacob I promise your the only guy I want to be with. No one else." I said. He shook his head.

"Janay. You can't-"I cut him off by kissing him. He slowly started to kiss back and brought me closer to him. "I love you Jacob, and I'm so sorry. I-" he kissed me again shutting me up. "I forgive you baby." He said.

I smiled "So does this mean were back together?" I ask. "Yes babygirl." He said. I took his hand and started to walk backwards towards the bed. "Bad girl?" He asked. I shook my head and smiled.

I laid down as Jacob hovered over me. He kissed all over me. I slid his jacket off and threw it to the side. He took my shirt off and also threw it to the side. He kissed from my neck to my boobs and down my stomach. He looked at my bullet wound and sighed.

"Janay are you sure your ready for this?" He asked. I had a Flashback of all the times when my mothers husband rapped and beat me. "N-no. Sorry-""it's fine I won't rush you. Just tell me when you ready." He said.

I smiled and set up. "We can cuddle though." I said. He smiled and pulled me near him. We laid down and he softly kissed my cheek. "I love you Janay." He said. I kissed his lips and spoke. "I love you to baby."
