I'm gonna work on my update schedule bc im slacking
Nitasha & Liandra in the MM
2 days later...

Since the last ladies' night, Jasmean has been weary about continuing keeping in contact with Keith. Or at least that's what she's told us. Sorry, that's rude, I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Nitasha and one of Justin's best friends. I believe I'm the voice of reason for the group, or the mom of the group like Liandra says but I will deny that until the day I die. I'm just very protective of the people I love—in my circle including my girls.

So, since we now know more about Keith, when and if I see him, I'm gonna have some questions to ask. The only times I've ever seen her cry was over Eight Below and when she watches videos about people helping people in need. For a man to get that reaction out of her from just a flashback, is completely uncommon. Today, we're attempting to do this meet and greet at FYE, so everybody's meeting up at Jasmean's house to go over from there.

I'm about done filling in my eyebrows but my phone keeps dinging. It's interrupting my music and messing up my 'eyebrow dance'. I glance over and see that it's don't do it sis 🚫 texting me, if I had it in me to block him I would I just don't know what's stopping me. Every time I say niggas aint shit, I forget to put him in that equation.

His name is Laurence and my high school sweetheart, on and off but still he was my baby. Until we got older, and it was more off than anything because I was always busy and he was getting his business off the ground. I wanted to be there in his corner but it was so hard to do that when he started lacking motivation. Now here we are, him hitting my line when I'm in his city because we need to catch up.

I'm so deep in my mind babble that I don't hear my phone ringing with the ringtone I use for all the girls Just be down for life, Just be down for life, I'm really down for life, Are you down for life.

"Yes, Jo, I'm almost done. Putting my highlighter on as we speak." I lied, I'm still on the other eyebrow because it bothers me when they don't exactly match.

She exhales and I hear a lot of moving around, "Change of plans, we're coming to your place and leaving from there, it's closer that way. In about 6 minutes, come open the door, k bye love youuu!"

Shit.

I feel like every girl has done that extra dash to get ready when their friends say they're outside and if that isn't me right now. I can't slick my edges down fast enough before pulling on my crop top shirt and camo pants, spraying my setting spray, and applying my lip gloss. Then I hear my doorbell ring, in the nick of time I'm running downstairs with my Converse in my hand and out the door.

We pull up on the back of the building and all climb out of the SUV, the lighting it too good resist so I have to practically beg Jo-Lynn to take a bomb ass picture of me.

She finally gives in and I strike several different poses. I end up deleting half the pictures then I find the one I like, that I'm posting everywhere so everybody can see my glow.

We can hear our loyal fans screaming and joy overtakes all of us, we've come so far. So before we go in, we hold hands and say a prayer of thanks for everything we've been given. Without these girls, I don't know what I'd be doing. I do know that there's nothing I'd rather be.

Just as we walk in through the backdoors, the I love yous are loud and clear, approaching the designated table I sit between Jasmean and Liandra, still holding their hands. As I'm looking into the lines of people all gathered with posters and other merch, I can't help but cheese like a Cheshire cat.
