I had finally found myself again. I fell more in love with August .
He helped me finish my song and also gain the courage to fire Dj and all the workers he hired . I hired my old crew back and a few new ones . Tre Ace started this stupid rumor about he dumped me , hit and quit but I wasn't gonna even get worked up about it.

I found a new music producer and he created the beat for A Train , which I loved .

Today was I back in my home state , finally in so long .
I haven't talked to my parents but I have talked to Raven and she said everything's been good and that she's going to college in New York.

I told her I was happy for her and that I hope everything go well for her and she wished me the same luck .

I was waiting backstage , getting ready to go on stage . I loved the outfit Kristi picked out for me . They had just finished straightening my real hair .

"Thank you boo." I said , putting on the plaid shirt to top the outfit off .

"Justine! Justine!" I turned to some interviewers and paparazzi .

"How do you feel about what TreAce said ?" They asked .

I hesitated for a moment . I looked to the side as that old habit kicked in , expecting to see Dj but then I remembered , this is all me now.

"I wish him the best. Everything about and between us was fake but I've finally found something real , me. I hope he do the same and stop letting them mold him into something other than himself." I said . Security told them they had to go after I said what I had to say .

"Five minutes Justine." The guy told me , I nodded .

"Justine!" I looked back seeing August waving me over . I walked down the steps towards him when I saw Rena and Nick .

"Oh my goodness." I said about to give them a hug til they stepped back with an eyebrow raised and Rena 's arms folded .

"Girrl I otta beat your ass ! What you think this is ! Abandon friends challenge?" Nick yelled at me. I couldn't help but smile , I missed him , I missed them .

"Motherfucka why you smiling?"

" I'm so sorry. It wasn't me these past few months. That was the molded Justine but I've found myself again and I'm sorry and I apologize from the bottom of my heart . I love you guys and you're my best friends. I'm sorry for the way I treated you guys." I said truthfully , looking at both of them.

"Please forgive me." I added .

Nick folded his arms before rolling his eyes and sighing .

"They're ready for you now Justine!" One of the guys yelled.
