the longest timeout - juju watkins
The Longest Timeout Kyah Edwards knows what addiction does to people. She watched it take her father long before she was old enough to understand why he disappeared behind prison walls. Years later, she watched it take her older brother, Khalil-the person she loved most in the world. Ever since, she's promised herself she'd never stand by and watch someone she loves destroy themselves again. Then she meets Juju Watkins. The future of women's basketball. The projected number one draft pick. The girl who makes Kyah believe in a future she never thought she could have. What begins as an unexpected friendship quickly becomes something more, and before long, they're inseparable. For the first time in years, Kyah feels safe. For the first time in her life, Juju lets someone see the person behind the superstar. But when a devastating ACL injury shatters Juju's world during March Madness, everything changes. Basketball has always been her purpose. Without it, she's lost. As depression, pressure and fear begin to consume her, Juju turns to anything that can make the pain disappear-even if only for a little while. What starts with prescription medication spirals into something far more dangerous, and soon the girl Kyah fell in love with is slipping further away. No matter how hard she fights for her, Kyah can't stop history from repeating itself. And when one reckless decision leaves their futures hanging by a thread, both women are forced to confront a heartbreaking question: How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? A powerful story about love, grief, addiction, and second chances, The Longest Timeout explores the devastating consequences of substance abuse-and the courage it takes to fight your way back.

One night in chicago. One time. One mistake. I never thought i'd see her again. Not after the way she acted when i asked, not after the way she looked at me when she left, and especially not after she pretended i didn't exist. I knew coming here would ruffle some feathers. I just didn't expect one night to feel like forever.
