𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋𝐒, going to the tour bus that was parked with New Editions bus. Gary was searching for Bobby and I was going into my bus when I saw Bob storm away from Gary. "Your doing drugs now?" I heard him ask but Bobby just ignored him. I continue to walk into the bus and sit with the girls. The bus started driving and we were on our way home to Roxbury. "So, guys. I've come up with a new song and I've got a couple song finished already but I still need to edit the lyrics and whatnot." I said turning to them. "Damn, you got another song going into an album alright." Yara said surprised. "I'm just tryna get my fans hyped and spoiled with my music." I said pleasing my arms in surrender.

"I wanna listen to the new song your working on." Simone said desperately. I get out my seat and clear my throat before I begun. "Sometimes you're my general, you quarterback all these plays. Sometimes you're my enemy and I'm throwin' grenades. We'll just be chillin' and laughin', I'm layin' on your chest. Don't know what happened 'cause things just went left. But here we go back down that road That's just the way that it goes. Cause we made it this far on for better or worse. I wanna feel it even if it hurts
If I gotta cry to get to the other side, as long as you're there I'll survive oh. We stay on the front lines, Yeah but we're still here after the bomb drops, We go so hard we lose control
The fire starts then we explode
When the smoke clears we dry our tears. Only in love and war."

I finished and they clap with some of the others on the bus with us. "Gurl, that was beautiful. What's the song called?" Simone asked. "It's called Love & War." I said and they were impressed as usual as they say. Throughout the whole drive we sung together, we did some tiny dance moves together and all that until we finally arrived home.

𝐖𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 back at the house and Bobby was dancing. I was sitting on Ma's lap beside Ronnie. Even my girls were here. Bob started doing sexual moves and I turn away with a playful smile on my face. Carole stopped him. "Bobby, you got the moves, man. Man, you got the moves. You got the checks, though. You and your mom? Y'all got the checks? Cause y'all- y'all always got some new music. I know Calypso got some new music in her books." Mae said taping my cheek making me smile. "I hear what your saying, I do. But trust me this time, it's gonna be right." Carole said. "Well it better be. Cause y'all ain't see my phone bill last month. And Callie here never seemed to call me anymore." Ma said pulling me closer. "You miss mama that much?" I asked Ronnie in hush tone teasing him.
