The Publicist

Coming Together

"There will not be a sequel.

Masterpiece by Jazmine Sullivan is the song. You should give it a listen in m/m."

Jazmine POV-

I sat in the chair in my dressing room doing vocal warm ups.

It was going to be our last night in Ghana, and Trey ended with a huge concert for his fans here.

It had been a tough past six months. I cried a lot. Due to Trey's immaturity I laughed a lot and I learned more than I could ever imagine thanks to Nana Efya.

I wasn't afraid to be me anymore. I wasn't afraid of what people would think or what they would say.

Preparing for this day I knew what I wanted. And I wanted to be both a pianist and a singer. After I returned home I was going to leave behind my life as a publicist and chase my dream and not stop until I caught up with it.

I didn't know quite how. But I knew through prayer, God would send the right opportunities and the right people like he always has done.

"A bitch was gon perform in fucking Ghana for 20,000 people and not tell me." I looked in the mirror and saw my bae.

"Djjjjjjjjjjj!!!!!!!!!!" I jumped out the chair and went to hug him.

"Nah don't hug me. You barely called me this whole time you was out here." He didn't hug me back.

"DJ I was just going through some things and just needed time to myself. To figure things out."

"Ain't no figure out without me bihhhh."

I laughed.

"I see you. Giving us boob realness." He poked my boobs oozing out of my dress.

"Stop." I laughed hitting his hand.

"Well this is for you." He handed me a bouquet of roses.

"Aww thank you." I hugged him.

"How did you find out about?"

"Lauren told me. Trey called your family and invited them."

"Nobody could come?"

"Lauren's premiere of Scream Queens is tomorrow so she said she wouldn't be back in time if she did."

"It's fine." I smiled. "I'm glad you're here."

Although inside it hurt me. This always happens. But I wasn't going to let it bring my spirits down.

"How you been tho?" He sat in the chair.

"I've been." I sighed. "Learning to just focus on me and this moment you know?"

"Oh I feel you. So Amb trapped David and their getting married."

I cracked up. "I knew that was going to happen."

"Hopefully he better than his trifling ass brother." DJ rolled his eyes. "And you know he gon be at the thing?"

"I know." I sighed. "I'm not afraid tho. I let go of all the animosity I had towards him."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I gain nothing by being angry at him. But anyway I don't want to have this conversation. I'm focusing on me and my moment."

There was a knock at the door.

"You ready?" Trey asked me.

"As best as I can be."

"Ahhhh stop being humble you gon kill it. But we about to pray then go up. Meet me in my dressing room."

"Oh ok." I got up.
