"You can't duplicate my style, my flow, my shoes, my hair, my coke." Simone sang as we sat in the back yard together. I wanted to tell her to put the cigarette out, but she tends to get pissed when you ruin her high. "Put that damn thing out." Carlotta said to her. "And why didn't you make her?" She asked me. "I try not to mess with her when she gets high." I say putting my hands up in surrender.
"Why are you waking up in the middle of the night screaming?" Carlotta asked her. She stayed quiet. "Simone, we don't know you that well, and you probably don't remember me, but your mom was my ace, what have you done?" Carlotta asked. Just then Star walked in the back. "When you been Star?" I asked her. "Just had a talk with Alex's dad." Star said. And right on que Alex walked out the door. "Really you tried to screw my dad. Bitch are you really that thirsty?" Alex asked. Damn Star......
"He said he would talk to us about producing our demo." Star answered. "Do you know how many sluts, and groupies he's told whatever they wanted to hear? You know I knew you were ambitious, but I didn't think you were stupid. You're an idiot, you whore." Alex fired.
I tried to break shit up. "Alex I know you're pissed, but calm down." I said. "No if your gonna take her side then you're just as dumb as she is, you Latina whore." Ouch that actually stung. "Hey Alex calm down and stop using the double u word." Simone said. "No i'm sick of being the calm one while she gets to act like a damn fool." Alex exclaimed. "I was doing what I know how to do. We brought you here because of your money and you won't even use it to help us." Star said.
"I came all the way here for you Star." Alex said. "And if that isn't help I don't know what is." She added.
"So me, my money, and my songs, can leave. I can't do this." Alex said running into the house. I noticed Simone lighting a cigarette and I snatched it and put it out.

Carlotta asked me to go to church with her so I threw on some clothes that were church apropriate.

"Well look what the wind blew in." Pastor Harris said to the three of us. "Simone, Natalia, when you two gonna sing for us?" Pastor Harris asked. "I gave up trying to convince her and Nattie." Carlotta said. "I just don't know any gospel songs, pastor." I say and Simone nodded in agreement. "You used to sing all the time Natalia, we're not judging, you and Simone go on up there and sing." pastor told us as he handed both Simone and myself a mic.
Simone: Time is up had enough
Natalia: I have some things to go change
Both: Ain't no more pretty girl no
Simone: Pray for my downfall
Both: Before you go tell me what you waiting for, its alright
Natalia: Pray for my downfall, hold your breathe and see me fail, A cold day in hell
Simone: You brought your coat, but I know i'm a winner, It hurts to see me excel
Natalia: Haters wish you well
Simone: Before you go tell me what your waiting for
Both: Its alright
And then Simone falls unconsious. "Oh my god. Simone." I panick grabbing my phone to call 911. "Simone stay with me." I say. Things just went really shitty
