Emma's POV
I was at home when Ezra rushed in with Di'ja behind him. They both looked frantic. My heart started to pound. Had something happened to my husband.
"Mum, called. She said something had happened to KB. But she didn't say what exactly." Ezra explained.
"You guys go to the hospital, I'll watch the kids." Di'ja offered.
I nodded and without thinking about anything else, I picked my phone up and ran out of the house.
Very soon, Ezra and I were speeding through the streets of Manhattan. I prayed silently in my heart, praying that nothing bad had happened to KB.
When we got to the hospital, I spotted Mrs. B walking towards us.
"He woke up! He woke up!" She yelled continuesly.
The worried look on my face turned to a smile. The tears of happiness started to pour down my face immediately I heard it.
"Oh my God! I thought he had died!" I said through my tears.
KB's POVIt was two weeks after I had gotten home from the hospital. Emma was at work a lot and so I had to spend a lot of time with the kids. The doctors said it would be another two weeks before I could go back to recording music.But what I really wanted to do was go and hunt Kyle and Linda down. The kids couldn't go to school anymore because we were afraid it was a security threat. Emma was really stubborn and would not allow KB to persuade her to stop going to work. And everytime she stepped out the door, my heart started to beat fast. What if something happened to my wife? How would we cope without Emma? My mind would start to ask all the questions. And then she'd come back home and I would breath easy.I was about to get up to have my shower when my phone started to ring.It was Ezra."Hey." I said after I had answered it."Hey kiddo. How are you?" I scoffed. I was about to turn 31 but he was still calling me t
Korede's POV"I don't want to move Dad" I complain to my Dad. He's just finished telling me he was relocated to the US and as usual I was the last in the whole house to know.Okay let me give a brief introduction of my self. I am Korede Bello. I am seventeen years old, I was born in Lagos, Nigeria and that's the only place I have ever known, my life and friends are here. I have even got my music. I love to sing, music has always been an escape for me. I have two siblings. Jasmine; who's the first born and Ezra; who's the second and I am the last... Which brings us back to the real story (how my life just got ruined)."Korede, I don't have a choice, the company chose me to head the company in the US, it pays more and has a lot of financial back up, it's not something I can pass up" my Dad said obviously frustrated at my stubbornness."And why was I the last to know?" I said looking at my mom,Jasmine and Ezra."K-
Korede's POV"I'm sorry Dad for the way I acted, I was just upset at the news that's all" I said talking to my Dad "I am willing to give the U.S thing a try without anymore complain" I added."Well, that's good, I am also sorry about the change" my dad said"It's okay Dad." I said to him "I'd better start packing" I added. We hug and I go to my room to start packing.After an hour of packing, I stopped to take a break. Just then I get a WhatsApp message from my friend Di'ja.Di'ja : Korede! How far naKorede: I dey o. What's up?Di'ja: I heard you and your family are relocating to the US? :-( Korede: Yes.

I quickly rush downstairs."Food is ready, come and eat." She said"What's for breakfast?" I ask"Chips and egg with Ketchup" she said "Cool" I saidI sit down and my mom puts my food in front of me. Even with all my protest she still treats me like a little boy."So what are you going to do today?

What bad luck. I am still in pajamas."Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked."Nothing, just wanted to see if you can go for a walk before your flight?" She said"Okay, just give me some time to take a bath and change" I tell her"Imagine,
"I don't wanna go to high school, I am suppose to be done with that. I need a University" I was arguing with my Dad after hearing I had to go through another year of high school."You don't have a choice, you need to go through the American curriculum for a year before you go to the University" he said.I am so angry, if I knew my way around I'd storm off."Okay, I heard you" I told him, then I went to my room.I take out my phone and opened my WhatsApp. I had lots of messages. It wasn't unusual since I had lots of friends. And a few fans (not bragging, just saying) I saw a message from Dave.Dave: Hey, KB what's up?

I wake up to find my worst fear realized. I am going to high school today! Another year , gosh i am so hating this.I get up and head for the bathroom, I brush my teeth. And then take a shower. Since it's the first day of school, I decided to dress as good as possible even though not meaning to brag but I have awesome sense of style!I am so ready for school. Lies.I go downstairs to find Ezra and Jasmine having break fast. "He's finally up!" Ezra says "are you excited about today kiddo" he asked. I have a feeling he knows I am not. I just hissed and sat down. "Korede, don't mind him o. On his first day of school he cried outta his mind" Jasmine commented. We both laughed at his fake pout.After breakfast I went outside to see my dad waiting for me in the car. I had a car in Nigeria now I have legs, so yeah dad said he
Finally the bell rang. Chemistry was over so I was heading to the cafeteria for lunch when I heard Randy calling me. "Hey dude. What's up? I've been calling your name. Wanna have lunch with us?""Sure, why not" I sayAs we reach the table I see all this boys looking so buff and tall with all the cheerleaders. Slender and beautiful cheerleaders."Hey Randy! Who's the hottie?" One of the cheerleaders ask"Oh, this is KB from Nigeria. He lives next door to Emma" he said and patted my back"Oh, and is he single?" Another cheerleader said"I don't know" he said and then he looked at me with "are you?""Yes, I am" I said not understanding why they asked. And then it dawned! They like me? Why?"You know, I am gonna start calling you the Nigerian cutie""What?" I asked not understanding what was happening"Because you're cute" she comes over to where I am standing and starts to put her hand all over me. And the other girl
"Did she actually say that?" Ezra asked laughing hard about the story I had told him about the girl from the cafeteria."I swear she did." I replied laughing along with him."That's why I love white people. They are so bold." Ezra replied. "But, what's up with that Emma chick?" Ezra added."I don't know. I sorta like her but she's dating this Randy guy." I replied somberly."Your dilemma." Ezra mocked. "So what happens if she never breaks up with him? Will you go and date the Skye Mobile girl?""Hell naw. I am not desperate for a girlfriend!" I squeezed my face like it was the most awful thing that could ever happen to me.
