Winter Toes III: Defending the Heart

WT3| "Outro"

About 6 years later...

Taylor pulled the garbage can to the front of her large home, where relocated after all the years. Reiya and China were on the porch with little Aubrey, that's what she had decided to name the boy. Aubrey Chasyn Price.

It had been a peaceful six years since Taylor nearly died and China had her baby. It was like all the weight were lifted off her shoulders and was replaced with soft pillows to lay on.

Taylor had did just as her sister told her in her dream, she got up and she went out to get happy. She tackled life with a new perspective. What once was the little, scared, love hating Taylor grew into a woman- a woman who was accepting of love but not of all people. A woman whom no one could tell a thing to.

She owned a beauty shop, Tay Tay's Beauty Spa. She was happily single and living on her own with her new puppy that Roman had got her a year or two ago. They named her Avery after their unborn.

She drives a nice car and gets out a lot more. She has been making friends, smiling more.

Taylor was happy.

Reiya was done boy hopping. She had ran into that familiar boy again, it actually turned out to be Dotty. He was a lot older now and way more mature although making childish decisions. She and Dotty had been dating for about two or three years now, blooming into something no one in elementary would've expected. Their relationship pushed Roman and Taylor apart a little but not in a negative way.

Dotty got himself together for Rei and worked in a studio, since he was nice with beats. He Reiya in and now Reiya and pursuing her singing career. She's been getting some hype and featuring on some songs.

Reiya was happy.

China lives normally in the islands now, shearing culture and wisdom on her baby boy. She found a nice spot in the Bahamas and she loves it. Instagram is still her life but she posts her baby boy more than anything.

She's been getting in touch with Micheal lately and it seems it may be getting out a little early. But hopefully not too early because China found herself a man in the Bahamas. A man that her son would soon call "dad".

She's still a little on the big side but her man likes it. She had opened a bakery out there in the islands and it was doing lavishly.

For now. China was happy.

Roman is continuing his career as an artist. He and Taylor had stopped down to friends, with benefits of course. However, not too many benefits. They agreed that they wouldn't go too far though the love was still there. He visited her from his home in South Carolina often where he was going steady with a girl named Porscha.

Yes, he found her y'all.

For now. Roman is happy as well.

Kayo had been rebuilding his club making it bigger and badder. Each come up had been outdone by the next. Devi is still his rival, though they had been having sex some weekends when Kayo isn't with Sincere on the weekdays. They're together now but not as happy as they could be. Neither is loyal to the other. However, they're living and breathing and rich- so they're good.

Caz died in the shooting at the church along with Slug, Daye, Mase, and Mr. Gunning.

Mrs. Gunning later commited suicide.

Calib is on the run somewhere. No one has heard from him in a while but it seems as though he won't be popping up.

Wyn was shanked 13 times in his sleep by Micheal, who got a shortened sentence due to good behavior. Wyn was found dead- nobody knows what happened to him according to sources.

Syd is retired. She and Taylor will never be friends. She's too lame.

Sincere is stripping again. According to the streets, she is one of the best dancers in Atlanta right now. It was just like back in the day. She is heartbroken about Caz but she found out at his funeral that he wasn't lying about her being the sideline. Sincere fought his wife. She didn't win.

She's content with life.

Torei is out of rehab, living with China and helping to take care of Aubrey when China is a way. Torei found out about Chase and was extremely heartbroken. She's back on drugs but it's not as bad as it was when Chase was alive. She doesn't overdose as often and she does it whenever the baby isn't around. China hadn't found out yet and Torei plans to keep it that way to avoid rehab.

Roni is dead. She was suffocated in her sleep by a man she had been dating at the time.

Glynn has finally stopped stripping again. She has a stable job as a bank clerk. She'll probably do it for the rest of her life too. Her son, Junior, is just like his nasty ass father. Being grimy and selling drugs. Glynn finally took him to see Wyn for the first time. Just to find out he was killed.

Guess it wasn't meant to be.

And me? Well, I'm still here in hell getting devil dick, making sure my sisters are getting their blessings.
