21 and ready for law school -- Aisha's eyes are finally opening to see the true darkness that lies inside herself and Delontae. What will she do about it??
"I'm trying to decide... which way to go, I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere.. you never know where the cards may lay... but I ain't scared.."

"After you receive your Bachelors. as long as you have everything completed by February, you should be hearing from us no later than June," my admissions officer, Doctor Grant smiles at me and tells me.
"I'll have it completed by then Dr. Grant, thank you so much, it was so nice meeting you. And I look forward to seeing you again," I smile and firmly shake his hand...
I head across these beautiful, peaceful grounds of this prestigious campus, and watch some of the students stroll by me lightly chatting.. and some are hurrying across the grass to get to their classes. And I'm praying I'll be one of them next year... A feeling of worth and prestige is what this campus gives me, and I wish I didn't have to leave it, or I had some friends here.. Or at least some friends who know about this kinda life. I breathe out, excited and hopeful, in spite of my fears, and head for the parking lot..
What the hell am I gonna write about for my admissions essay? With no Vaughn to help me.. I think about how me and Vonsha cried on the phone. Like I told her, I'm just glad everything is all good and me and her can kick it when I get back. She asked me what about my book, and I knew what she really meant, was what the fuck am I gone do without Vaughn's help with my book. She knew better and I knew better than to even bring Vaughn's name up... even though he's her husband.
And deep down, I know she's wondering how long that shit is gonna last...
And I need two letters of recommendation I remind myself. I can cancel Vaughn for that too. But that's cool, I need like, superb ass White lawyers or prestigious people to give me letters of recommendation, on the real...
Or someone like my Dean from Spelman maybe? She would be good..
Or does it need it to be men with power, a judge would be good, hell yeah..
Robert Thorne. Yes! A letter from billionaire Robert Thorne alone would get me in. He walked me down the aisle and that's what kept alotta scrutiny off me when me and Delontae got married..
But his fucking daughter Rebecca hates my damn guts. I wonder can she block me from gettin' a letter from her daddy?? Or stop me from attending law school in New York, I wonder what kind of connects she's got?
Hell naw, Tae better not let that hoe stop me. I'm attending Columbia Law School, by any means neceassary. I look back at the library when I almost get to the parking lot-
"Oops! Sorry," a dude says when he bumps smack dead into me when I turn around, we were both looking back, over our shoulders.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I say it too. He picks up his books -- And well damn. I gaze into the eyes of the cutest damn White boy on the planet as he seems to stand up straight in slow motion...
