"Brandy."

Nothing.

"Braanndyyyy."

Brandy and Kodaviah were still at J Star Valentine and Shawntae's concert, despite the fact that it was more or less over.

Both of them had to talk to Kodaviah and Brandy about something last minute, and it was whether or not they wanted to work for them.

As in, properly work for them.

Kodaviah wanted to work for them, but Brandy on the other hand wasn't so sure about this.

This was because she had felt as though they were using her.

They only wanted them to work for them in the first place because Brandy mother and brother only had twenty days or less left to live.

That wasn't fair.

Brandy had realised all of this so therefore why didn't Kodaviah?

"Why are we here?"

They had left the place where J Star Valentine and Shawntaes were to go to some place that were right near the toilets instead.

"Kodaviah. They're using us."

He had looked at her blankly.

Before wanting to know how they could have possibly been using her.

Them, even.

Brandy rolled her eyes.

Then she had remembered everything.

J Star Valentine and Shawntae had been talking about this for a long time- they wanted Brandy and Kodaviah to be a part of them.

They had to be a having a laugh.

They had felt bad that Brandy's mother and brother had limited time left to live, so they wanted to make her life count.

Whatever that meant.

"So you want us to work for you?"

"I mean. If that's okay with you guys," Shawntae grinned, where Kodaviah had nodded at that, although Brandy on the other hand wasn't so sure about it.

Did that mean that if her mother and brother weren't necessarily in hospital right now then they wouldn't have asked them this question?

Yeah, that didn't really seem right...

Using them at the expense of her mother and brother.

"Brandy, I didn't realise..."

"Yes. So we can't work for them."

Kodaviah had truly felt guilty that J Star and Shawntae may have seemingly only wanted them to work for them due to Brandy's mother and brother's condition.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity at the same time.

He wanted to work for them.

This could have really helped him.

Brandy had frowned at him, seriously not believing this kid right now.

"Oh," she had scowled, folding her arms. "So lemme get this straight. You don't care at all that my mother and brother only have 20 days or less left to live?"

She had a point he guessed but why was she saying that Kodaviah had said things that he didn't even say at all?

"Brandy- don't put words in my mouth. I never said that."

Ironic how they were kind of arguing like an argued couple and they weren't one.

They had only known each other for a couple of weeks, maybe more than that but none of them were really paying attention.

"If you cared, Kodaviah- then you wouldn't even have to think twice about making this deal with them! They could be scammers, Kodaviah! Did that thought ever occur to you? Am I the only smart one around here? Seems like it!"

Then she had stormed off, leaving Kodaviah here in a tight position.

He had watched Brandy literally leave the room as well.

She didn't even go back to J Star Valentine and Shawntae, she had felt as though her not coming back was kind of evidence that she didn't want to do this deal with them.

Kodaviah did care.

This could have helped him out though.

He could have been famous.

He had cared about Brandy, albeit he wanted what was best for him at the same time, without sounding selfish about anything.

Sighing to himself, Kodaviah had then gone back to J Star Valentine and Shawntae, to tell them the news.

Despite the fact that their convert was over, they had still jammed out to one of J Star Valentine's songs either way.

So many battlefield scars while driven in plush cars
This life as a rap star is nothin' without guard
Was born rough and rugged, addressin' the mass public
My attitude was screw it, 'cause everybody love it

That was until Kodaviah had come back, feeling guilty that he was going to tell them this.

He had to do what he had to do.

For him.

"Erm. J Star Valentine and Shawntae?"

They had kept bussing out the lyrics my ambitionz as a raidah, so loudly that they hadn't even heard Kodaviah to begin with.

They were waiting for Kid Cudi to get back from whenever he had been before because they had his keys.

He had spare keys yes, but they still both had to give it to him regardless.

They couldn't have just left it here, nobody else was here really and Kid Cudi had lived with about five or so other people.

When Kodaviah had eventually stopped the music, that was when both of them had looked at him as if he was crazy or something.

"What was that for?" Shawntae moaned.

"I need to talk to y'all. Both of y'all. I've made up my decision."

J Star Valentine and Shawntae had looked at one another when they had heard that, then they had looked back at Kodaviah again.

They wanted to know what it was.

Kodaviah had sighed to himself.

He was going to regret this day.

He wanted to go inside of the group.

He wanted J Star Valentine and Shawntae to work with him, and vice versa as well.

He didn't even know what the heck he had to do to get into this group, and now that they had explained it to him, he would have apparently had a test in twenty seven days.

He didn't know what the test was for, he just had one.

"Why twenty seven days. Is it because of Brandy?"

"No, Shawntae's birthday is in twenty seven days." J Star deadpanned. "Also- is brandy okay with this? Just asking because she ain't here."

Brandy wasn't okay with this, no.

Kodaviah had lied and said yes anyway.

She would have hated him for this, with J Star Valentine and Shawntae exchanging numbers with him.

Then he had left, Khamil and Kalahandra had waited for him outside although the girls left.

J Star Valentine and Shawntae had winked at each other when he had gone.

Kodaviah didn't know the amount of trouble that he had just lowkey gotten himself into.

Brandy had tried to warn him about this although he didn't really listen to her at all..
