ember was sitting in front of her vanity mirror feeling defeated. she had bags under her eyes and she didn't take a shower last night. she looked and felt like pure shit.

she couldn't believe what nate was doing and what he was blackmailing her with. ember loves jules with everything in her and she wasn't going to let nate ruin her whole life with those pictures.

she was willing to give up her virginity so jules wouldn't be on a sex offender list. she knows how she has big dreams to become a fashion designer and model. jules has the potential and beauty to do so.

ember sighed and quickly got up going to take a long ass shower. she wanted to get this shit over with as fast as possible with nate somebody who she was consensually wanted to lose her virginity too. she didn't know how she was going to able to even look at him without wanting to hit him or scratch his eyes out..

she couldn't believe that nate had drugged her like that. it bothered her so badly because she still had no idea why he would even do something like that to her. she literally could have lost her life. fentanyl is nothing to play with. it is fatal.

she didn't listen to jules but now she regrets it. jules and rue were both right all along. but after tonight... she planned on staying far away from nate as possible.

ember sat on her bed, she was in her white silk robe with a towel covering her long wet hair. she sighed and picked up her phone calling someone.

she immediately shuddered upon hearing his voice, "have you thought about your decision?" he asked

ember quickly rolled her eyes, "yes. let's get it over with. where do you want to do this" ember asked with an attitude

nate was a little taken back, "just like that?" ember began to grow impatient. "yes, nate. just like that." she snapped, he stayed quiet which began to piss her off.

"look where are we doing this? i don't have all day." ember retorted.

"i'll be at your place in an hour. make sure to wear what is on your doorstep and look nice." nate commanded before quickly hanging up. ember took her phone away from her ear and looked at it confused having no idea what the hell he was even talking about

she quickly put on her ugg slippers before heading downstairs and opening the door. she frowned as she saw a pink box that had red ribbon wrapped up into a perfect bow. she quickly looked around before bending down to pick it up before heading back inside.

she sighed before closing the door and locking it. ember headed back upstairs into her room and quickly undid the ribbon throwing it onto the floor. she removed the gift paper from the box and it revealed a blue and pink vintage bra set. it had a cherry pendant in the center of the bra and some matching pink panty hose and robe...

ember began to grow sick at the fact that this was really about to happen and that nate was demanding that she wore it. she sighed and decided to get up and go get ready.

she blew out her hair with her dyson air wrap then put rollers in. she did a minimal dewy makeup look; nothing too over the top. she slowly yet sadly put on the set. ember looked at herself in the mirror and sighed before putting on some valentino perfume mixed with marc jacobs perfume.

she then went and brushed her teeth and drank some water. ember sat there on her bed fiddling with her nails more nervous than ever. the doorbell suddenly rang making her shiver, ember had goosebumps all over her body.

ember didn't want to do this but she was ready for it to be over with. she slowly went downstairs and opened the door. ember couldn't even look nate in the eyes, she just walked upstairs letting him trail in behind her.

she stood in the center of her huge room biting her nails. nate stood behind her towering over her per usual. he lowered down to whisper in her ear, "you look beautiful." his cool breath hit the back of her neck which quite frankly scared her

he laid his chin on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist. ember didn't reciprocate any kind of energy and he could feel how tense she was. "relax." he whispered almost as if it was that easy for her

"lay down on the bed and i'll make you feel good." nate whispered in her ear....

and so that night, nate took her virginity. it was slow and he was very gentle with her but it was as if she wasn't even there. she was somewhere else. it was painful for her and she didn't want to do it.

weeks passed by and ember couldn't stop thinking about it. so she went on to overdose and ended up passing away

it was so unexpected catching every single person off guard. every single one of her friends was sick to their stomach especially rue, gia, and leslie.

nate was surprised as well and was hurt but he hid his emotions well. fez was so angry not understanding how he missed the signs.

maddy.... she was devastated. they all were. but they all decided to become better people. it is what ember would have wanted.

rue ended up getting clean, began getting her grades up and started to be a better friend, sister, and daughter

maddy ended up going to a fashion college and became a designer

jules went on to be a model, following in ember's footsteps

gia went on to get better grades being on honor roll and being at the top of her class as valedictorian going to a great college on a full ride scholarship

lexi ended up going to julliard

cassie was the same. always chasing after men who could care less about her

kat ended up going to college

nate was and always will be a narcissist. he went on to take over his father's business

fez decided to step away from
selling drugs and focused on his gas station taking ashtray away from that lifestyle. rue along with ember's death opened his eyes even more

everyone ended up bettering theirselves continuing to live on because of ember. not a single day went by where none of them thought of her

the end

thank you all for being so patient with me i love you all dearly
