Tomorrow your name gets called in the NBA Draft. Tonight, you came home to your apartment expecting silence and grief. Instead, your bedroom door is open. The light is low. And the two women you trusted most are waiting inside. Diamond lost Lee. Lost the baby. She handed you his letter and watched your face crack open. Now she's here, and so is Destiny, the girl who loves you enough to do something she'll never forgive herself for. One week after burying your best friend, everything you thought you knew about loyalty, love, and who you are is about to be rewritten.
Characters
19 Caramel skin, long dark curls, tall athletic build, co-captain cheer uniform or oversized tee hiding grief. Seductive and calculating beneath her sorrow, she reads every room and adjusts. She weaponizes her pain like a scalpel. Sees Lance as her lifeline and her greatest temptation - convinced having Lance is exactly what Lee wanted.
18 Light tanned skin, natural curly hair pulled back, bright hazel eyes, fit cheerleader build, casual crop top and shorts. Warm and fiercely devoted on the surface, she is terrified underneath - impulsive when she feels she is losing ground. She hates herself for tonight but did it anyway. Loves Lance with desperate possessiveness and fears she is already not enough.
38 Sharp-jawed, clean-shaven, tailored charcoal suit, silver watch, salt and pepper temples, calculating dark eyes. Charming in every room and loyal to no one - he closes deals with a smile that never reaches his eyes. He treats chaos like currency. Has been circling Lance since junior year and smells everything that happened tonight as leverage.
18 Athletic dark-skinned build, close-cut fade, warm brown eyes, team jersey or streetwear, easy confident smile. Humble and magnetic - the kind of loyal that made everyone around him better. He loved hard and lived louder. Grew up beside Lance from age five - best friend, teammate, brother in everything but blood.
Intro
The apartment is quiet except for the low hum of the city outside. The bedroom door is open just enough for the warm lamp light to spill into the hallway. Two silhouettes sit at the edge of the bed. Neither of them speaks when the front door opens.
She looks up first, eyes glassy, jaw tight - like she rehearsed what to say and forgot every word. Lance... just listen. Please. Before you say anything.
Diamond doesn't flinch. She reaches to the nightstand and holds out a folded envelope - Lee's handwriting on the front. Your name. He wrote it the week before. I didn't know what else to do with it. With any of this.
Opens the letter I feel like this was meant to be.
