A year later.

Jazmine POV-

The past year has been thee most incredible ride I have ever been on. Performing with Trey around the world. Actually getting interviewed, rather than preparing a client for interviews. Photoshoots. Glam Squads.

Yes DJ keeping a girl fly with all the latest fashion. And recording and releasing my first EP- Masterpiece, inspired my song I wrote while in Ghana.

I dedicated my EP to Nana Efya who died earlier this year. I went with Trey and his family to attend the funeral in Ghana. While it was a sad occasion, I was so blessed to have met her while she was on this earth. Her love, support and influence, shifted the direction of my entire life.

Without her part in my journey, I would still be an unhappy Publicist with only broken dreams of being a star.

But Because of her, I wasn't a Publicist to the stars, the sister of a star, or a girlfriend of a star, I was one. And for that I thank God for her everyday.

Trey has continued to be a God send in my life as well. He signed me as the first artist to his SX label. And anything I needed he has got. He's also like my mentor/manger in the game.

He has promoted me as much as his SX Liquor brand. Every interview he drops my name. He brings my single for them to play, instead of his. He even took me as his date to the Grammys, not because we're dating, but to promote me. And because of that a huge buzz has surrounded me. Places I didn't know I had fans, I have them because he gave me his co-sign.

Since he is based in LA, yes I know he's from Virginia, he lives out there. He asked me to move out there so we could work on my EP and album.

I did. I packed up my stuff and left Atlanta, and I've been out in LA for a year now.

Because my sister lives out there it has brought us back closer and she uses her status to promote me as well. She knows I hate the industry thing, but she makes me go to parties and things that might benefit my career so I can network.

My parents have been supportive too. They surprised me at a show I had in Zurich, Switzerland while on tour with Trey. I couldn't believe they came all that way. And I had an honest convo with then about how I felt, and they never knew I felt that way so it felt good to get it all out and to hear them apologize for the hurt they caused.

Desiree and Candace even surprised me at a show I had in New York. They were there for a dancing event and it was just exciting to see them. They told me as soon as I needed dancers to hit them up, they would be there. (Dancers dance with multiple artist so no Alsina nation I'm not trying to still your favs dancers.)

On their off days, they have even been working with me teaching me moves to make my live show pop. Trust me y'all, it's been a struggle I am no dancer. But they have been so supportive and they have been working me like a Hebrew slave, so I will get there.

How has alsina nation and the media between towards me? It's a mix.

Some folks tweet nasty things like

"You wouldn't be shit if it weren't for Aug."

"You're a dumbass for leaving. Nobody else is going to want your ass."

In interviews when they ask me about the breakup. I simply say we needed time apart to grow and be our own people. I never bash him or speak negatively because I don't have any negative feelings towards him. I have forgiven him. I did that at the ice cream shop in Phoenix.

But still people find negative shit to say.

"Stop talking about August. Using him to prolong your 15 minutes of fame."

I don't talk about him, they ask, I answer. But it's dumb to argue with idiots.

Not all the nation or media has been harsh. Some fan pages promote my music. Still make me their WCW. And Aug often retweets them or repost them on his Instagram.

When he found out my EP dropped he tweeted to his followers to get it. On my first show in Germany he had dozens of flowers sent to fill my dressing room and wrote a heart felt card.

We text from time to time, but we haven't physicAlly met. I've been so busy overseas with Trey on this world and he's been focusing on his new album and being a dad.

We face-timed once and that was my birthday. The convo didn't last long, because I had a show, but that made me smile.

And I am going to be honest. Some days I miss him terribly and yes I lurk on his social media. And when they ask him the girlfriend question, my stomach always gets filled with butterflies, hoping the answer ...
"I'm just focusing on music and my son."

Won't change. Maybe it's selfish, but it's how I feel.

As for me, I honestly haven't been focusing on dating. I never understand how people move on so quick. Break up today, new dude tomorrow.

Lauren has tried to get me to talk to some folks, but I'm enjoying this space I'm in.

This space of loving me. 😄

Today I'm at a meet and greet in Atlanta for my EP. It's the first time Ive been back since I moved.

DJ has took it upon himself to not only be my stylist but my bodyguard, manager, shade thrower to people who hate on social media, all of the above.
That's DJ he's not going to change.

He lives with me in LA now too. And yes honey, my bae has got him a model boo, who is so fine. 🙌

"It's time to wrap this up." DJ said.

It was still 20 more people in line, from the hundreds that came earlier.

"Let me just finish them."

"We have a photoshoot Jazz. I know you want to be nice but you can't always. Especially when we're on a schedule." DJ told me.

"I know but I don't want to leave them hanging."

DJ rolled his eyes and let the rest of them in the record store. I signed all 20 EPs, took pictures and gave them my posters.

We were about to leave when...

"I'm here to meet Jazmine Palmer."
Aug came toward my table with a hand basket filled to the top with my CDs.

"Well she's gone."
DJ snapped. "Jazz let's go."

"Same old DJ." August chuckled.

"Same ol no good nigga. Jazz let's go we got a photoshoot." DJ cleared off the table of my posters.

"I bought these CDs and I want them signed."
Aug handed me a black sharpie.

DJ looked at me.

"DJ give us a minute."

"Really?" He looked at me.

"Please not now." I looked at DJ not wanting to argue.

"Hurry up and meet me in the truck."

DJ took the posters and went outside to the truck, mugging us.

"What you want me to write?" I asked August, sitting down to write on the CD he gave me.

"To my bum, I still love you. Nola jazz" he tucked his bottom lip, looking at me with love sincerely in his eyes.

I knew he still loved me and I still loved him. We couldn't deny that.

I wrote something on the CD and handed it to him.

"I want to start over as friends. I'm Jazmine." He read it out loud.

He paused chuckled and held out his hand for me to shake.

"I'm August."

I smile and shook it. "Nice to meet you."

I didn't know what the future held, but I was open to whatever it might be.
----------------
My choice to not do a sequel is because i want to invest my time in other stories. I feel like Amb and aug needed one because it was my first story I ever wrote and their journey called for it.

Jazz and Aug, I want it to be open ended and leave what happens to them up to you.

I want to sincerely thank everyone for their support of this book. Every like, comment, every person that recommended it to somebody else.

I want to thank y'all for putting up with my thousands of authors notes. For y'all wilding out in the comments on heated chapters. To everyone that gave it a chance despite the negative attention it received at first.

To the Dms you sent me. The stories you shared with me about your personal struggles or just your opinions period about the direction of the book.

To KaylaAngel for the wonderful
Cover. Please check out her stories she's one of my biggest inspirations on here! I write aug stories because of her and the great authors I've read.

To Bella_Nay for always saying she was proud of me everytime my book
Reached a milestone. She does that everybook lol.

To Kainedd for giving me the idea to say you should write a book about Aug as a celebrity.

To nyjaluv09 who dropped some major knowledge on me and made me consider the responsibility I had with my ending.

To SkateboardP who is probably my closest friend on here and stays giving me the aug updates.

To my silent readers, stop being silent lol. But thank you for my reads.

To my jazz supporters who went against the grain when everyone was with Aug.

To my aug supporters who went to bat for Aug and dared you try their fave. Lol.

I don't want to skip anyone who contributed to this book, so just thank everyone!!!!

And most importantly to Jazz and Aug. For the music they create. For the lives they live and the inspirations they are in the real world.

I know my thank yous for the Amb and Aug series is going to be long as hell. I still don't want to end that.

Don't give up on life after marriage and read leap of faith if you haven't.

Love y'all with all my heart!
