Aaliyah felt a lump in her throat. She slowly got up and said how?
Rashad Sighed and said He died in his sleep, that's why we were blowing up your phone he kept asking for you, He wanted to tell you he was sorry.
Aaliyah sunk into the couch an began crying. shit! she said.

Aaliyah set at the front row, next to her mother an brother.
she cried a bit but not as much as other people in her family.
she looked around and saw some of her cousins she hadn't seen since she was a child. she even saw her aunt Gladys who came over and gave Aaliyah a hug, She smiled weakly and sat back down.
2 hours later.
The service was lovely, wasn't it? Diane said to her cousin
Yes, she Renee said, How are you feeling baby girl?
She turned around and said fine I guess as she walked toward the car.
Aaliyah are you coming to the repass? Rashad asked.
No, I'm going to back to my hotel.
Rashad just shrugged and said okay.
for the rest of night, she stayed in and called Gia via facetime. Ginuwine texted her and asked if he could go to see her perform Aaliyah responded yeah. Aaliyah slid back unto the comfy bed and had a sigh of relief. she began thinking about the funeral and how it went and how her last conversation with her uncle wasn't as good as she planned she cussed him out. now that he's gone she feels like she should recital.

A day later she attended Gia recital. she was so proud of Gia, throughout all the craziness in her life, at least her daughter wasn't that involved with the craziness of her father. she couldn't believe she invited Gin to come to her show, she asked but she didn't think he would be interested.
