A YEAR LATER- Nobody's POV
June 18th, 2018.

It's a year later. The group has graduated. The group house was sold. Everyone lives in apartments. Everyone attends Nova Southeastern University and everything is still the same. Until today.

Skylar's POV

I'm in the library, shelving books when I feel my phone vibrate. I take it out of my pocket to see a ton of messages from Jah's mom, Day and Ski.

cleopatra 👳🏼‍♀️💜: i'm so sorry baby.
day 🥵💙: are you okay?
ski 💰🖤: i love you and he will be okay. 🙏🏾

i put my phone down and i get confused at what they're talking about. Then a notification from my news app pops up.

"Rapper XXXTENTACION Shot Dead at 20" When I saw this, my heart shattered. I looked down at my belly and rubbed my forming baby bump. I climbed down the ladder and hurried to the clerk desk. She looked at me with an apologetic look and told me to go. I speed walked to my car and i sat there and cried and cried and cried until my phone started ringing. I answered it without even looking who was calling.

Convo: Big Brother 🤞🏾💙👫

BB: Skylar?
S: yes?
BB: are you okay? do you need me to come get you? mom's worried about you.
S: i'm f-f-f-fiiiiiine!
BB: where are you?
S: leaving the library, i'm going to see his-his mom.
BB: okay, i'm going to your apartment
S: okay
BB: i love you.
S: i l-l-love you too.

End Of Convo

I was on my way to her house when i saw police and firetrucks surrounded by this motorcycle shop. I stopped in the middle of the street and saw Jah's car. I turned into the parking lot and got out of my car. I hurried toward his body and I fell to my knees, looked up at him and screamed and cried. He was sitting in his car, holes in his body, lifeless. I felt someone dragging me from his body but I fought to stay with him. Eventually the person gave up and I got up and hugged his body.

"Jah! Jah! Come back to me! Jah, open your eyes! NOOOO. Why you?! Jah!"

I was then pulled away from his body and handcuffed. I was pushed against a car and told to stay away from the crime scene. The policeman looked at my face and realized that I wasn't a fan. He uncuffed me and apologized for the misunderstanding. I gained my balance and felt something dripping out of my vagina. I went back to his car and I said my last words to him, acting as if he was going to hear me.

"Gekuyme. We love you Jahseh. Forever and Always."

I then walked off the crime scene, got back in my car and drove to my apartment.

I started to walk to my apartment and I broke down crying. I would do anything to spend another day with my boy. I was soon picked up and carried into an apartment. I opened my eyes and I was laying in my bed. I got up and rushed to the bathroom to see what had dripped. I pulled my leggings down to see and it was red but it wasn't heavy. I got undressed and took a shower and when i got out, I called my doctor. She said that it was perfectly normal to spot during pregnancy and that it wasn't a miscarriage.

I then put some panties on and a robe. I put my hair into a messy bun and went to lay down with my brother. He held me while I cried and then my phone started ringing. I answered it and heard Day's voice.

"No I don't want anyone over. I have my brother. Talk later." I hung up the phone and threw it across the room.

A few days later

I haven't talked to anyone but my brother, my mom, Cleopatra and Aiden. I was brushing my hair out and putting on mascara. I put on my black romper that shows my bump, and a gray sweater that hides my bump and my black flats. I grabbed my cracked phone and my charger and started to look around the room. I walked out the door and drove to his memorial spot. I walked and sat down by myself. I started to pray and close my eyes until everyone got there. I then felt someone holding my hand and put their arm around me. I opened my eyes and saw my friends around me. I smiled a little and tears started to drop.
