(Cadyn's P.O.V.)
Me, Jameesha, Nyah, and Mikhaela all hung out at Jamba Juice and shared a few laughs. After, we went into True Religion. We all split up and I made my way around the store. I picked up four pairs of jeans, five pairs of shorts, and a denim vest. I made my way to the checkout desk and the cashier rang it up.
Cashier: That'll be five hundred thirty-six dollars and twenty-three cents.
I nodded and pulled out my credit card, since I ran out of cash. I didn't expect much to be on there, but YOLO. I entered my pin number in and my receipt came out. The cashier put all my stuff in a bag as I analyzed the reciept. Wait...What the fuck? I only had six hundred dollars on my credit card. I looked at my remaining amount and I had nine thousand, five hundred twenty-seven dollars and fifty four cents?
Cadyn: (yells out in excitement) HOLY SHIT! I AM BALLIN!!!!!
Jameesha: (runs over) What happened?
Cadyn: I got pizz-aid!
Mikhaela&Nyah: What'd we miss?
Cadyn: Look! (shows them the reciept) I only had six hundred on my card...now I have nearly ten thousand dollars!
Girls: DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUMMMMMMMMM!
Mikhaela: Ayeee. We paid now!
Nyah: Now what are you gonna do with it?
Cadyn: The hell you mean? We going to Sephora and to the Supreme store!
Girls: Leggo!!!! (pays for their stuff and runs out for more shopping)

{Meanwhile, On The Plane}
(Shay's P.O.V)
I watched as Prince looked out the window. I could already tell he was thinking about the first time him and Jassie got on a plane together because he began to cry. He looked to his side, only to find an empty seat. God, I hate to see him like this.
Shay: Prince, are you okay?
Prince looked at me. He shook his head and looked away. I sighed. Why must this kid be so complicated? I sat in the empty seat where Prince was and shook him.
Shay: Prince, you can't avoid us forever.
Prince: I'll try my damn best to.
Shay: Look, you need to check your attitude quick. I'm only trying to comfort you.
Prince: It's not helping, you know.
Shay: I know you miss her, Prince. I do too. Do you not see how much of a big sister she is for me, though I'm older than her?
Prince: I know, Shai'Lee. She held you down...just like she did for me.
Shay: Not to be mean, but if you would've taken control and been real, she would've been here.
Prince: I know...But if I told you this, you promise you won't tell?
Shay: What? Is it about Jassie?
Prince: Yes. There's no possible way she's dead.
Shay: What?
Prince: Trust me on this one.

(Ice Gang finally makes a stop and they all sigh happily)
Shani: We're hereeeee!
Marquez: It's about time. Can we stop at a McDonald's?
Shani: Erghhh. Fine. (begins driving again) But can you wake them up?
Marquez: (wakes Royalty, Dessie, Angela, Seven, Antoine, and Stephon up) Wake uppppppp!
Dessie: I'm up, nigga. Damn.
Royalty: I hope you niggas woke me up with some good news.
Shani: Yeah. We're here!
Angela: We are?
Seven: Fucking finally. Now can we stop at a McDonald's?
Shani: On our way there!
Dessie: Damn, New Jersey changed a whole lot.
Angela: (reads a passing sign) That is because this isn't even fucking New Jersey!
Antoine: The hell you mean this isn't New Jersey?
Angela: That road sign said Home Sweet Colorado.
Royalty: So?
Shani: Isn't New Jersey in Colorado?
Dessie: The fuck?! NO! IT'S A STATE IN THE EAST! NOT THE WEST!
Shani: Oh...my bad.
Seven: Let me drive this shit. Pull over.
Shani: (pulls over and gets out) I knew I should've paid more attention in World History.
Everyone: (face palms) Just shut the fuck up, please.
Shani: (mumbles) Sorry.

{Outside The Supreme Store}
{Jameesha's P.O.V}
After Cadyn went on a mass shopping spree, we walked around town. We were in our own little world talking, shopping, and laughing. I looked to my left and saw a lady dressed in super fly clothes. She stopped me and I watched as Mikhaela, Nyah, and Cadyn stopped with me.
Jameesha: Yes?
Lady: Hello girls. I was wondering if you guys would like to be apart of an Open Mic.
Mikhaela: Sure...but why us?
Lady: I see star written all over you guys.
Cadyn: I'm straight.
Nyah: Cadyn, come on!
Cadyn: Hell no!
While they argued that out, I took a flier and nodded.
Jameesha: It's today?
Lady: Monday. I have a feeling some things will happen.
Jameesha: Well, I'll take your offer on it. See you around!
I began to start walking with the girls and I smiled to myself as they argued. This is going to be my first step to stardom. The fame, the lights, the Langston from the Rangers, the—
Mikhaela: Jamee, can you tell Cadyn that she should be singing at the fucking open Mic?
Jameesha: She should, but if she chooses not to, it's her loss.
Cadyn: THANK YOU! I don't even WANT to be famous. (eyes sharpen in pain) OWWWWWW! FUCKING SHIT! (eyes turn green)
Mikhaela: BULLSHIT.
Cadyn: What?
Mikhaela: That's a lie.
Cadyn: How you gonna tell me what's a lie and what's not?
Mikhaela: You know why.
Nyah: Spread the peace, girls. Jesus.
Mikhaela: Hey! Don't use my possible future husband's words. (smiles)
Cadyn: Bitch, bye. He do not want you.
Mikhaela: And why would he want you if you don't even like Mindless Behavior?
Cadyn: Who the fuck said I ever did like them? (eyes sharpen in pain) THIS SHIT! UGHHH!
Nyah: You need to get your eyes checked, babes.
Cadyn: I'll be fine.
Jameesha: But seriously. I think you should go for it.
Cadyn: NO! I refuse to sing. (walks faster up and away from them)
We watched her walk, but we didn't catch up to her.
Mikhaela: I'm telling you guys...She is famous.
Nyah: Mikko, will you stop?
Mikhaela: She is! I have all proof too.
Jameesha: Oh really? Where is it?
Mikhaela: At home.
Jameesha: Where you should be.
Mikhaela: Rude!
Jameesha: (shrugs) I'm just saying, bruh.
Nyah: We still gonna sign her up?
Everyone: Hell yeah.

{1 Hour Later}
(Cadyn's P.O.V.)
After getting off the train and walking, I began to walk down my block. The sun was beaming high as the sky got redder. It made me smile because it reminded me of my favorite song. Red Sky by John B. God, I love days like these. I dropped my bags and pulled out my phone to take a picture of it. Gorgeous.
Just then, a limo drove slowly and I tried my best not to look inside, being that I could be recognized at any point. I walked the rest of the block and made my way into my building. Staying away from fame? Check.
I sat down on my bed, trying to figure out something. How did I get so much money and how did someone know that my credit card was still on?
Suddenly...
Cadyn's Phone: (singing 2 Chainz verse in Mercy by Kanye West) Now catch up to my campaign, coupe the color of mayonnaise, I’m drunk and high at the same time, drinkin’ champagne on the airplane, spit rounds like the gun range, beat it up like rampage, 100 bands, cut ya girl, now your girl need a bandaid, grade A, A1, chain the color of Akon, platinum diamonds backpack around me, cosigned by Louis Vuitton, horse power, horse power, all this Polo on, I got horse power, pound of this cost 4 thousand, I make it rain, she want more showers.
[Phone Convo]
Cadyn: Hello?
Sevarion: Hey babe!
Cadyn: Wassup?
Sevarion: Nothing, just got done talking to 'Meesha about some Open Mic. You singing?
Cadyn: Hell no.
Sevarion: Why not?
Cadyn: I'm just not ready to.
Sevarion: Babe, why?
Cadyn: I don't know. It just hurts to think about it.
Sevarion: Cadyn...how do you expect to be in a relationship if you can't tell me the simplest shit?
Cadyn: How are you talking when you can't even tell me why you don't dance?
Sevarion: You know what? Let's just drop this conversation. Call you later.
Cadyn: Whatever. I can't trust you with the simplest shit like that either.
Sevarion: Whatever. But if you're gonna lie about who you are...at least cover up your tracks.
[End Of Phone Convo]
I dropped my phone in shock. He knows. I began to feel tears falling from my eyes as my eyes pained. Blue eyes. It seems as if everything is crumbling down to nothing now. Why can't I ever escape this never-ending drama?
Then again...
Cadyn's Phone: (singing 2 Chainz verse in Mercy by Kanye West) Now catch up to my campaign, coupe the color of mayonnaise, I’m drunk and high at the same time, drinkin’ champagne on the airplane, spit rounds like the gun range, beat it up like rampage, 100 bands, cut ya girl, now your girl need a bandaid, grade A, A1, chain the color of Akon, platinum diamonds backpack around me, cosigned by Louis Vuitton, horse power, horse power, all this Polo on, I got horse power, pound of this cost 4 thousand, I make it rain, she want more showers.
[Phone Convo]
Cadyn: Yes?
Nyah: Hey, love. Question...what's a song you're good at?
Cadyn: Nyah, for the last fucking time—
Nyah: Not because I want you to sing. Because we want to sing it Tuesday.
Cadyn: What about Save My Soul from that African movie, Beyoncé?
Nyah: That's perfect! Please tell me you'll be there to support us?
Cadyn: Of course.
Nyah: Yayerdoodles! Well, bye!
Cadyn: Bye, b!
[End Of Phone Convo]
Ugh. My friends sometimes.

{In The Limo}
(Prince's P.O.V.)
We were driving through Brooklyn and I had my head against the window. The girls were sleeping and me and the rest of the boys were up. Prod was listening to his music loudly and Roc and Ray were looking out the window. That's when Roc almost jumped out of his seat.
Roc: Damnnnn...Prince, I see why you love New York. These girls are so damn sexy!
Ray: (looks out the window) Shit, she is sexy as fuck.
Prod: She's pretty...someone I see with you guys.
I looked out the window and saw a girl with long brown hair, light skin, and had a nice body. She was taking a picture of the sky, I think. Her aura was just radiant...like Jas'marieé. She was beautiful. I looked the other way in order to avoid any conversation with the boys.
Prod: Should we call her over?
Roc: Nah...We'll see her again.
Ray: I know...but we're only here until Wednesday.
Prince: Let it go.
Ray: You su—
Prince: Yes.
I rolled my eyes and looked back on my side of the window...wishing I stopped this car and called her over.

{One &One Bar/Restaurant, East 1st Street, Monday, July 28th, 7:55 pm}
(Prince's P.O.V.)
Since I practically begged Keisha to take us to an Open Mic, we went! Joy. I clapped for the act getting off the stage. It seemed as if the rest of them were enjoying themselves. Just then, the host came on stage to introduce the next act.
Nathan: Wow...that was an amazing poem. Goosebumps. (everyone laughs) I want to introduce the next act. She's 15 years old and she's from Brooklyn. Everyone, give it up for Cadyn Ventura!
I heard a girl yell at her friends, pissed. I guess Cadyn wasn't expecting to go up there. She made her way up to the stage and up to the microphone. The piano started as her voice filled the room. I watched as her beauty made everyone smile. I swear, that's the same girl from yesterday.
Cadyn: (singing Save My Soul) Life so unfair, so unfeeling, all despair,
Love so, so dear, everlasting, always there,
A voice in the wilderness is crying out,
Can you hear?
The eyes to deceive what you see is not what you get,
Is not what you get...
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul, (rescue me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow, (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take,
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again...
Dreams fade away into the mountains, into the sea,
The rain, it's ok, it's still falling, I wish you could see,
A drum, it's the beat, of the heart will not stop,
Oh tears form a stream, form a river,
Drops of love, oh drops of love...
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul, (rescue me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow, (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take,
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again...
Oh love, oh love, please save my soul (rescue me/save me)
Remove all the pains and sorrow (Lord, save me, Lord save me)
It's more than I can take (more than I can take)
Sunshine, a ray of hope that rise and hide my shadows and make me happy again...again...
She backed away in tears. I wonder why she was crying. Everyone got up in a standing ovation cheering her on. I loved it. She brought me hope...because she sounded how Jassie would grown up. My god, I miss her.
I got up and followed her out. By the way I caught up...she was gone. She was...perfect.

*No MB Fact Today, But I Have To Remember Someone*
If you weren't on Tumblr a while ago, you didn't hear about our fellow TM member Keyshia. Keyshia was a dedicated TM member who sadly died in a car crash today at 2:33 PM. Her last words were Team Mindless Forever. LEGIT HER LAST WORDS. TM has to really get it together because we lost one Team Mindless member. We need to stick together, not break apart. Please, TM. We have to stop. We lost one soul, we don't need to lose another. I'm just really hurt by the whole thing and her last words had to be those. :( Rest In Peace, beautiful.
& even though I'm not a Directioner, rest in peace to Paula, another fan who passed away. Her last thing to do was tweet Zayn a simple hello. :( This is just too much for a day. I can't even deal with how much compassion I have right now. :(
