"You know, I'm not even mad at you," Le'Maya said, carrying her luggage from out the house the best that she could. Everybody was loading their things into the back of a Mercedes-Benz van. Two separate cars for two separate occasions. It had been a month since the listening party and things had gotten a bit out of hand. .

The house was filmed on TheShadeRoom after Nicholas and Jasmyn had their anniversary night in town. With exposure to Jasmyn's music, came exposure to fans and exposure to paparazzi wherever she went. Desperate for a claim, they followed them to the house.

Amirah had been in town, but didn't come to visit them. It was rumored that she was living in North Houston. Le'Maya, as pregnant as she was, pulled up to her house and threw rocks until she broke a window. Their reconnection wasn't the sweetest.

"Maya, have you lost your fucking mind?!" Amirah said, storming out of the house. The entire house had an alarm system and it was going off loud. Lights flashed at Le'Maya and a crew on the roof had snipers pointed at her.

She wasn't scared of no guns. She wanted to understand why her friend was on the down low so heavy. "No, have YOU lost your fucking mind. You left here, only call a few times, NEVER check up on Reign -" Who had been moved out the house, to be honest. Cree and Reign got a place downtown, but stayed for a few days after learning that Maya was pregnant. Reign was coming behind her out the car smooth on his feet and Cree was recording. "You're a fake ass fucking bitch and if I wasn't pregnant, I'd stomp your ass out!"

Amirah let her get her emotions out, eyes gaped at the belly that had formed on Maya. She was on the slim-thick side, so her stomach was poking out earlier than usual. Immediately, she felt bad. "I got caught up in some things back in New York. I love you, but I'm not going to put you in a danger again," Amirah said, waving the armed guards on the roof off. The lights dimmed, but the trio could still see each other.

"You could've told us, Amirah. Do you know how much I needed a friend, sometimes?" Reign asked. "A business partner?" Le'Maya nodded her head. When Reign got out and moved on his own, he had bought a club downtown with the money he raised and saved from designing for artists. It had a runway and it was the place for the gays. He was making his mark.

"You were there for me the entire time I was in a coma and you ghost when I'm recovered, I don't need this," Le'Maya said, turning away from her and heading back to her car.

"Le'Maya, wait! Let me be there for you, from a distance," Amirah said. The front door of the mansion creaked open, a male that was out of sight appearing. "I need to go, but I'm going to call you."

And she never did. Maya had cut herself off from the friendship, but Reign was trying everyday after that. "I'm glad you're not, but I'm mad that we're an hour and some change away from each other," Jasmyn said after unloading the last box. She partially felt bad, but it was a surprise to her that Sajaír and Maya were thinking of moving as well. They had a baby to worry about.

"I'll FaceTime as often as possible, I'm not used to living without you guys," Maya said, the box in her hand being snatched from Sajaír and taken to the van. The three of them - Reign, Jasmyn and Maya - came together for a group hug. "I hope Cree takes care of you," Maya said to Reign, who smiled wide. "And I hope Nicholas takes care of you." She said to Jasmyn.

It was going to be weird without them in her everyday life, but she knew she'd handle it properly. And off they went from her arms to their respective vehicles. Reign was heading downtown and Jasmyn was heading to the Woodlands. "You coming baby?" Sajaír said, leaning out from the driver side window to smile.
