               “Remind me to kill you alright,” Aaliyah said laughing as she ran from her friends down the beach.
 
               “I’ll make sure I remind you to kill Jamie.” Valerie said and laughed, “She’s the one who called your mother.”
 
               Lance watched as a group of young women ran around smiling and laughing and noticed one girl. She had long black silky hair and she was thin, and she looked good. He then remembered who looked like that and sat there in surprise.
 
               “What is it Lance, why are you looking like that?” Justin asked and looked at Lance.
 
               “Nothing I’ll be back…” He said and got up and walked towards the group of girls.
 
               “What’s with him?” Justin asked and looked at JC Joey and Chris.
 
               “Oh no….” JC said and realized what Lance had seen. “I’ll be back…” He said and ran over to where Lance was talking to the girls.
 
               “Ok what is with them, why were they looking at those girls?” He shrugged and then decided to go see for himself.
 
               “I’ve been fine,” Aaliyah said and smiled at Lance and JC. “A little busy but good.”
 
               Justin walked up to them and stood there in shock as he realized who the black haired girl was. “Lili,” He said and looked at her.
 
               “Justin..” She said and looked at him.
 
               Everyone looked at each other for a while before she spoke up. “So how’s Christina?” She asked and looked at Justin.
 
               “She’s fine,” He said and looked her up and down while wondering why he broke up with her. “So what are you doing here?” 
 
               “Well I was working but the girls made a deal with my mother to get me out of the studio for awhile so that’s how we ended up here.” She said and looked at Jamie, Karen, and Valerie.
 
               “Liyah, can I talk to you for a minute?” Karen asked and looked at her.
 
               “Sure, Excuse us.” Aaliyah said and looked at Karen when they walked away. “What?” She asked and saw the look on Karen’s face.
 
               “Aren’t you going to tell him?” She said and looked at her. “I mean he has every right to know.” Karen said and looked up at her friend.
 
               “I don’t know, I mean he seems happy with Christina and besides why would I even want to get involved with him yet again?” She said and looked at Karen.
 
               “Look, if you don’t tell him, I will.” Karen said and looked at her.
 
               She sighed and looked at Karen. “Ok, I’ll tell him later..”
 
               “Promise?”
               
               “Promise,” She said and looked at Karen.
