One Year Later...

After Teddy had been treated in the hospital for his bullet wound, he was taken to the police station for questioning. Teddy had a huge amount of guilt regarding what happened back at the house. He hated that he put Crystal in the kids in that kind of situation. So during his questioning, he confessed to the murder of Terrance Hamilton. In his statement, he told the police that he was the only other person involved the night of Terrance Hamilton's death. He didn't want to include Rome, Tron, or Kev in any of the drama because he knew that it would mess up their careers and family life as well. He pulled the trigger so he felt that he should be the only one punished for it. This was probably one of the most selfless acts he's made towards his friends. It was all out of love and loyalty though. He would be serving twenty-five years in prison for second-degree murder. He would be serving his time at Sumter Correctional Institution which was about five hours away from Miami.

When the news broke, Crystal was shocked and devastated by Teddy's revelation. Even though it happened before they got together, she couldn't look at him the same. She also couldn't hate him completely though because he was still the father of her kids. Rome had to sit down and talk to her so that she could have a better understanding on why they did what they did. Crystal still served Teddy with divorce papers shortly after he was sent to prison. She stresses that she still wants to keep a friendship with him for the sake of their kids together, which Teddy is reluctantly fine with. Since then, she took up her boss's offer and accepted the movie role that he suggested. She now works on the movie while finishing the last touches on her new beauty line, Rosario Beauty. She still continues to model on the side, but not as majorly as she used to. After an incident that Zai had at school one day, Crystal has gotten involved with many nonprofit organizations and charities that helps support young kids who are being bullied in schools. She also is involved with many movements that supports the stop of gun violence in the country.

Caleb and Damien both would be serving close to life in prison for committing various terroristic acts. Those acts included detaining Crystal, Zai, and Justin in their own home while threatening to kill them. They also both got charged with attempted murder. The Hamilton family was not happy with Caleb, except for Keith who was in on the whole thing the entire time. Candace's family practically disowned her once she confessed to knowing who killed her uncle years before the rest of the family found out. Her mother and grandmother still kept in touch with her though.
