Marcus's POV 

Thursday April 16th, 2017 

After we Noel and I got back from the business trip we fell into a routine of school, work, and spending time together. I ended up having to quit my job at McDonald's because running around doing a bunch of illegal errands for Kaiser became time consuming, he started paying me a week after we got back from the trip i make 20% of our weekly profit and our average amount a week is a little over 10,000 dollars after everyone has payed for what they were giving to sell i end up making about 2,000 dollars a week,i do all the planning for the business i'm the brains i guess you could say. Noel helps me a lot with the numbers and figuring out who brings Kaiser the most profit, she also helps me a lot with school work because it's our junior year our grades from this year are the ones that colleges are going to be looking at. I'm really grateful for her she is truly a huge blessing in my life i couldn't be doing any of this without her. 

Kaiser creating an alliance with Samuel and Francisco is going to help him a lot with starting up legit businesses Samuel is investing in a night club for Kaiser that he will have to pay him back for once he starts making profit, and Francisco is investing into his first Casino and is loaning him money to get it started as well. The only thing about the Club and Casino is that neither of them are in New Orleans they are both being opened Louisiana but in Baton Rouge instead. 

Right now i'm at the mall because i just made a delivery for Kaiser now, i'm shopping around for some gifts for Noel because her Birthday is a few days away. We both agreed that because our Birthdays are so close were gonna have a party together the day of my actual Birthday. What Noel doesn't know is that i'm taking her out the night of her Birthday after her family spends the day with her. 

We go on spring break on the 17th so we have the next full week off, we have stuff planned with our families and our friends but we still have to work that week so we decided to have the party on that Friday and it happened to be my actual Birthday. 

After i got all the things i wanted and needed for Noels special night i headed home the teachers like to give out big projects before we go on long breaks so i have to do some school work that's due at the end of the week or the teacher won't give you credit for it. 

When i get home i grab some snacks and head to my room i have to finish writing an essay for English then i have to finish a power point for a group project in my Science class. i sat at my desk and called Noel when chatted back and forth figuring out we were working on the same projects we decided to stay on the phone to keep each other company,It's gonna be along night.

Noels POV

Time skip: April 18th, her birthday

Today is my 17th birthday. This time last year i wasn't celebrating because of the loss of my mother, her death made me feel things i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It felt like a part of me was slowly ripped away from me in the months leading up to her death then when she finally passed away after fighting a hard battle i felt like i was suffocating in my own tears. My father was the only person i had with me threw it all, sure CeCe and Aunt Clara came to the funeral and helped a lot but they got to return to their lives. While i had to except my new one i had to face the fact that for the rest of my life i wouldn't have the one person who has been there for my darkest and saddest moments the one who helped me grow, who taught me to be strong, my mother. She told me that i could be sad for the first holidays, and birthdays she was gone but i had to happy after that because her being gone isn't the end of my life its the start of a different kind of life. She was everything i hope to be in life, she cared about people but also new that for her own happiness she would have to go against her family because she and my father both made a hard choice but they chose each other, they chose to have me and they showed me to love others and myself, i lost that part of me before when she first got sick, i lost the love i had for myself but she helped me see it wasn't lost it was just hiding. She taught me not to depend on anyone but myself for love because i can't love anyone else without loving myself first. Even though i sometimes doubt that i deserve the love Marcus gives me he never stops reassuring me he is my other half now even though i would be okay without him i'm really glad i have him.  

So in honor of my mom today i'm going to be happy because even though shes gone i'll always have her with me she's is one of the greatest people the world has ever seen and i'm glad she was my mom.
