Back in the Day {Malak Watson Story}

Im going

Ashanti

It's been two weeks since my uncle has team to Philadelphia. He has
taken me to places that appreciate music since he's been here. My passion for music has just grown and it I've been more curious. He took me to a music festival and I heard all type playing and it looked beautiful. One lady wanted people to play her piano and perform whatever they wanted. I decided to, I walked to the piano smiled and asked,"May I?" "Of course mija" I sat down and began to play a slow song that I was working on. Then after about 15 seconds the intro ended and there was verse one

Two hearts in sync as one our love has just begun all I can see are hearts are hearts are hearts Siempre te amaré I will always love you I'll support everything you do I'll fight your battles even when I struggle to win good luck on the others side I'll see you if I survive what comes my way I'll live another day to be able to say I'm yours and your mine

I took a bow and continued walking around enjoying the festival. My Uncle and I were shoved into the ballroom dancing part which wasn't hard. I took ballroom dancing when I was 10 (I really did in real life.) Afterwards he told me that I really should go to California it'll benefit me in a big way. I looked up," I.... I....I'm gonna go with you." He smiled and gave me a big hug," Your mom has been giving me a hard time about this I didn't mean to pressure you its just she really wants you to do this." I said,"it's okay." He handed me the phone and thought I'd tell my mom the news. "Mom." "Yes Shanti?" "I've decided that I'll go to-gco" "YES!!" I told her that we will have a going away party next month and that's when everyone will see me for the last time. When we left the festival I went to Josh's house and thought I'd tell him. I knocked on the door nervously and his mom answered she smiled kissed my cheek and told me that Josh is upstairs. I walk into his room and I see him and his brother watching Frozen. Josh gives me a kiss and I kissed back, then I hugged his brother and asked if he can leave the room for a little bit. I paused the movie and Josh sat up straight and looked worried," What's wrong babe?" I wiped an tear from my eye and looked into his and cleared my throat these words seemed to be the hardest to say and the most painful, they just couldn't come out," Josh you know being big in music is my life long dream?" "Yea?" "Well my uncle he's gonna take me to California to accomplish that dream, and big dreams mean you have to do big things." "Ashanti what's wrong you've never looked this upset?" "Josh I'm..I'm moving to California." "What?" "My uncle was talking to some people and they wanna see my talent and my mom wants me to go so I'm gonna go." "But why?, what about your friends and your family, what about us?" "I don't wanna do this-gco" "Then don't." "But this is my dream this offer only comes once in a lifetime can't you be a little supportive." "My fault I'm not the first one the my girlfriend is leaving express." "Wow you know what Josh, then you don't have to do that because maybe i don't have to be your girlfriend." "Now let's not not break up when are you leaving." "Next month." "Ashanti I'm sorry please listen I don't wanna lose you to some other guy we only have a month left come on please *kisses her passionately*" *kisses back*

Josh

I know that I was being a jerk but when she mentioned breaking up I couldn't do that the month that she'd be here would be hell for me, seeing her and not being able to do anything that's torture. I kissed her deeply and passionately and she kissed back and we laid on the bed having a make out session. In between kisses I had said,"Please don't break up with me yet." "She said okay,and smiled in the kiss. I was really gonna miss this.
