Sometimes I just wake up in the morning; feeling like my world is going to end. Well let me tell you my life and where I stand. I’m a professional dancer, who has the whole world ahead of her. Young, living in the area of New York. Let me move on to my dilemma- I have a boyfriend, who plays Linebacker for the New York Giants, his name is Darnell Walker. On the other hand I have my ex-boyfriend who is a lawyer for an expensive law firm, his name DeShawn Davis. Now here’s my story….

“Last night was a rough night.” I said. “You had a rough night; shoot practice was wearing me down.” said Darnell. “Well waking up at seven clock in the morning to go to a dance practice was not my cup of coffee and you do not have to go to football practice until eleven!” I said. I took my shower for twenty minutes, put my clothes on, kiss Darnell goodbye, and headed out the door. Thank God that the studio was only a few blocks from my house. When I got there my instructor was warming up with the routine for the day. After a few times of the routine the other dancers came in and settled down. Now we were set to go. We worked pretty hard on the dance routine for Saturday’s Night NFL Party. After the five hours we was done for day. At the door I saw my ex-boyfriend with flowers waiting for me. “Hey Chante” said DeShawn. “Hey” I said. “These are for you,” said DeShawn. “Thanks, but no thanks. Do you now who my boyfriend is?” I said. “ Darnell Walker…Right?” “That’s the one,” I said. “Are you dancing at the NFL Party Saturday night” said DeShawn. “ Yeah I’ll be dancing there; why?” I said. “I will be there,” said DeShawn. “ Darnell will be there to” I said. “ I want him to be there for the news I got for him.,” he said. DeShawn walked out the door. I waited there for a few minutes to understand what he meant by that. So I grab my bag and headed out the door and walk back to my house. I headed for my whirl pool tub, played some music, got my bubble bath running that got me all relax inside.

Around six-o clock, Darnell came strolling in from practice. “Hey Baby. How was dance class?” he said. “Fine, I guess. DeShawn came by the studio today.” I said. “What did he want from you.” Darnell said. “Nothing I guess, he tried to offer me some flowers and asked me if I was dancing and the NFL Party Saturday Night.” I said “ Is he trying to be there or something”? He said. “He said he was,” I said. Darnell sat there for a minute thinking about what I just said. “Alright will see if he will talk to you or not at that party.” He said.

After he said that, my thoughts of how this situation was going to look went bad like a dark cloud in a thunderstorm…

Today it took me awhile to get out of bed cause I was still thinking about what Darnell said to me about DeShawn. Wondering if he’s really going to say something to Darnell to make him mad. How will Darnell react? Millions of questions were spinning through my head. I just laid in my bed to reflect on what might happen of Saturday. I finally got out of bed at one o’clock to fix me something to eat. I look in the refrigerator and took out some chicken with greens and spaghetti when my phone rang…

“Hello” I said. “How are you doing sexy!” he said. “Who is this and I know this is not Darnell?” I said.” Well this is your lover DeShawn.” He said. “What do you want DeShawn.” I said. “Nothing just some time with you that’s all.” He said “ No cause I have a boyfriend you know that already DeShawn.” I said. “ I don’t care about him I care about me and you right now.” He said. “ Well there is no me and you cause I’m done with this conversation. Bye!” I said and hung up the phone. I put my food in the microwave to warm my food up. Then the phone rang again. “Hello” I said. “Why did you hang up on me?” he said. “Cause I did and I’m going to do it again. Bye DeShawn.” I said and hung up the phone. After that I ate my food and watch the Tyra Banks show, then my doorbell rang. I open the crack of my door and Deshawn came busting through my door. When he came through he grabbed my arm, tight. “What is your problem!” yelling at me. “ My problem is that you won’t leave me alone” I said. “You think your really funny” “Don’t you ever in your life hang up on me again” he said. “What! You are not my daddy and I don’t think that I will treat you like one either.” “Get out of my face” I said. He did just that and walk out the door. “I’ll see you and boyfriend at the party and I can’t want.” Then he drove away. I hurry back in the kitchen to call Darnell. “Darnell, why did DeShawn bust through our door and put his hands on me!” I said “Okay I’ll be on my way home.” Darnell got here in twenty minutes. “Baby are you okay” “ When I see him I’m going to hurt him” he said. “No please I don’t want any more drama.” I said. “ No Drama! What! Are you crazy, he put his hands on you and I’m not going to let him get away with this either” he said. “Darnell calm down” I said “ No I will not calm down. I need to go clear my head.” he said. He left out the door and I haven’t seen him in almost nine hours. I was getting worried about him…

At ten thirty he came through the door. “ Where have you been Darnell. I been sitting up here worrying sick about you.” I said. “ I took a long walk and I had to go take care of some business.” He said “What kind of business” I said. “Business so I can be ready on Saturday” he said. Then Darnell left the room then went upstairs to our bedroom and fell asleep I the chair when I came upstairs. I got into our bed and did the same as well I fell asleep, cause tomorrow is going to be a busy day for both of us, especially me…

Ten o’clock came rolling around quick. When I woke up Darnell was gone and I had to go to practice at eleven thirty. I got up and took my shower and went down to the kitchen to get something to eat. After that I headed out the door. When I got to the studio most of the dancer was already there. Some was working on the routine for tonight. We all stretched as a group then we got started. We worked for three hours then we had a talk about the party tonight then we all left to go to the homes to get ready for tonight. I went straight home, and went to my basement to work on the dance routine. After an hour of practicing I went upstairs to take another shower. When I came out Darnell was sitting on the bed waiting for me. “ You know tonight its all falling down right.” He said “Yeah I know” I said. “ You Ready” he said. “I guess,” I said. “Well let’s get ready,” he said. When he said that he hopped I the shower and I was getting ready to put my dance outfit on. Darnell put on his Sean John outfit on and we were ready to go.

We was speeding on Brooklyn Ave., cause Club 11 was on the corner of that street.
When we got there was all people standing outside waiting to get in. and all news reporters and cameramen was live on the scene. When we step out of the car cameramen came rushing to us, so we stopped smiled, and took some pictures then we walk into the club. When I got there the dance crew was in the VIP room having a discussion so I went back there with them. After an hour or so the show was about to start. Our crew was up first and Darnell introduced us out. We got the crowd hype by the routine we did, showing off the skills that we have. After our dance we changed clothes and hanged out at the party. I went back to Darnell just in case something bad would happen. I mingled with his friends and basically chilled with the players of Darnell’s football team. Then DeShawn came over to the table…

“Hey Chante. You did your thing up there” he said “Leave me alone” I said. “ Yeah leave her alone or I will help you leave her alone” Darnell said. “ I don’t think so; this is not over” he said. Deshawn walked away. After that the song of Darnell and I started playing, and Darnell got up and go on one knee. “Chante, I love you the first time I saw you, waking up next to you by my side has made me want to do this for so long. Will you marry me” “Yes I will” I said crying. After that we went to the dance floor and started dancing. When it got to the middle of the song Deshawn was up in the balcony with a gun and was aiming it at Darnell. After our little turn Deshawn shot the gun two times and they hit me. I was falling in Darnell’s hands. People were running out of the club. Darnell laid me down on the floor and ran upstairs to the balcony. Darnell ran up to DeShawn and hit him. DeShawn was trying to pull out his gun to shoot Darnell, but Darnell took it out of his hands. When that happens DeShawn was trying to choke Darnell but then in one kick DeShawn flew over the balcony lading on his back, not able to move. Then the police came in an arrested DeShawn. Darnell ran back downstairs to me and hold me tight. When he got there I was gone not knowing that the bullets pierced my heart. Darnell was sitting there crying with me in his arms…

Lucky DeShawn was not hurt, but he went to jail for murder and as for Darnell well he became MVP of the football league and you’re wondering how does she know this- cause I’m watching it all form heaven and I know I’m still in Darnell’s heart for all time. Now I’m in a place where there is no more drama just a place of everlasting life. I love you Darnell and I always will…
