juju💕.

i walked into the gym because apparently coach wants to have a meeting with me and my parents. like why you wanna having a meeting and you embarrassed me ? you took my starting spot and didn't even have the guts to tell me.

anywho, i walked into her office and my mom and dad was already in there.

"hi mommy" i said as she got up and hugged me.

"omg my baby.. what's going on with you ?" she asked as i hugged my dad to.

"a lot i'll explain later" i said and she nodded. a few seconds later coach came in and we all sat down.

"so i would like to start off by saying thank you for coming. i feel like this is really needed so we can get everything out in the open and clear the air" coach said.

"ofc.. what's going with our baby ?" my mom asked her.

"so lately juju hasn't been 100% in basketball & her mental has continued to deteriorate every since her chest injury" coach started.

"and her team has noticed and it's come to my attention that they've asked her on multiple occasions to take a break and she refused-

"because i don't need a break. i need to play basketball" i interrupted.

"skies let her finish" my mom said lightly.

"thank you. so our last game i called out our starting 5 like i do before every game and i made the decision to let ken start in her spot because i need her energy"

"i feel like her coming off the bench saves a lot of energy and i felt like her coming off the bench would've been better until she get back to her normal self" coach explained.

"i see" my dad said.

"and guess what, she didn't pull me to the side and tell me she called out the starting 5 with kennedy in my spot in front of the whole team. literally just embarrassed me"

"not only that, i have been doing extra training from 3 a.m. to 4:30 and then go back to practice a few hours later just to please them and it's still not enough mom"

"anything i do is never enough and it's exhausting cus im trying and the whole team acting like im not worthy of my starting spot" i said exhaling.

my mom looked at me and nodded wiping my tears with her thumb.

"no that's not the case juju this team feels like the more pressure you put on your body the more dangerous it's gonna get" coach said.

"everything you do for this team is appreciated and it doesn't go unnoticed & just because your my best player doesn't mean im gonna let you play when i know you your body is exhausted.

"so with that being said. she got really upset and she stormed out of practice and hadn't been back since & i just wanted to let you guys know just so yall are aware" she said.

"juju you do tend to overwork and we talked about this" mom said.

"but i wasn't tho me putting in extra work to better myself is not overworking" i said.

"when was the last time you actually went a day without picking up a basketball before all of this happened ?" my dad asked.

i just shook my head and sighed. yeah he got there.

"we just want her to rest and not just physically but mentally as well because it's very noticeable" coach g told them.

"thank you coach. we appreciate you taking care of our girl. we're gonna talk to her and figure out the best solution and we'll get back to you" my mom said.

we stood up and they shook her hand and we walked out.

"judea we talked about this & you promised me and your dad you wouldn't overwork" my mom said.

"pleas don't give me a lecture mom im already losing my mind" i said shaking my head.

"have you talked to liv ?" my dad asked.

"yup and we're not together nomo. no bs this time im done with her fr so don't attach my name to that girl" i said.

"wait what happened ?" my mom asked.

"when i called her about the situation it turned into a argument and she said she wanted to break up something about my emotions so im giving her what she want" i said shrugging.

"okay but you and liv each other to much to not work this out. im sure it's just a misunderstanding" my mom said.

"well if she did love me she would've helped me instead of doing exactly what she always do and that's go against me" i said.

liv💗.

"d*** she blocked me" i said sighing. i shook my head and went to instagram. she hadn't blocked me on there yet.

"no she really took that you wanted to break up thing seriously" hannah said and i nodded.

"which is crazyy cus not one time did i say i wanted to break up. i told this girl that we needed a break so that she could focus on healing" i said.

i clicked on her insta and texted her hoping she'd at least open the message.

_oliviamiles_

"you okay ?" hannah asked hugging me.

"ionk cus as long as we been fw each other ts has never gotten this bad" i said through tears.

"it's okay. yk God got her covered and you too" she said wiping my tears.

"i swear sometimes she make me wanna bang my head against a brick wall like omg" i said wiping my tears.

"lord.. maybe she need to go to counseling" hannah said.

"ain't no maybe she need to see a therapist fr. as long as i've been with her it's never been this bad at all. and there were times where i actually thought she would do some crazy sh** but now ion doubt it for a second" i said shaking my head.

my phone vibrated and her mom texted me making my heart drop. please lord don't let this lady text me what i think she is.

bonus mom🫶🏾: hey just made it to her apartment and she's sleeping right now! i will call you tomorrow. don't worry to much i got her baby girl 🤍🤍🤍.

i sent the message and she threw my phone down on the couch. the way this girl stressing me out should be a crime omg. i do hope that she'll come around cus i can't handle this lord.

"here i got you food. hopefully it'll cheer you up" hannah said making me give her a weak smile.

"thank you grace.. you tryna call me big ?? talm bout some hopefully it will cheer you up" i joked making her giggle.

"no, but you are my fav big back" she said.

"ohh, great thanks so much" i said giggling.

"you okay tho ? you never really cry and seeing it makes me sad" she said.

"yeah just scared, stressed, worried, yk name it. but im covered by God so i gonna leave it to him"

"don't worry about me kiddo, you're emotional enough" i joked making her lightly push my shoulder.

i really hope sari takes this as an opportunity to get juju a counselor or something cus she need it. she emotional asf and her mental health is not doing good at all and im really worried this might be to much for her mental to handle.
