JADE'S POV
My tears dropped down my cheeks as I watched her retreating figure. If only I had listened to her when she turned me down the first time, if only I had given up then I wouldn't have been this hurt. Elle warned me about this but I refused to listen instead I continued to nurture and grow my feelings for her and look at where it ended me. She made it clear to me that she can't date me and even emphasized on me giving up in other not to get hurt but I didn't listen. I stubbornly refused to give up, now with my action today I've probably also lost her as a friend.
I swallowed hard, stood up from my knees and turned around blindly towards my car. My steps were weak as I walked like someone who was drunk. The kind of pain I'm experiencing right now, isn't something I can fathom. My heart was shattered as every ounce of life seems to have left me. This felt worse than when she rejected me twice. My vision was blurry due to the tears, and it was night, I didn't know when I bumped into someone, pushing us both down to squatting position. I looked at her, curly long hair over her shoulders like Elle's.
"Elle," I said immediately thinking it was her. The girl stared back at me with a woebegone expression. I looked at her carefully through my glassy eyes, this isn't Elle. Elle's hair isn't black and her eyes isn't black it's grey. This girl's eyes were swollen probably from stress or crying, she was busty unlike Elle, the only similarity between them was that she's from the black race like me or mixed like Elle is.
"I'm sorry," I said. She glanced at me briefly and hurriedly stood up, clutching her bag that had fallen off before. She walked off in a hurry. I shook my head sadly, everyone has his or her own problems.
Elle I have to finally let you go, it will take time to heal from this but I would definitely be fine. When next I meet a girl I like, which would be really long, for it's hard to find a diamond as Elle. But when I do and the girl turns me down from the start, I would be wise enough to retreat and give up so I won't repeat such mistake twice.
You were right Elle, there has to be a woman out there who would love me the way that I had loved and adore you. I'll heal, all I need is time.
Dwelling on this new hope, I wiped my eyes, stood up and walked to my car. Time should definitely help me heal.
DIVA'S POV
I walked into the room and the girls hugged me in Joy Immediately they saw me. They squealed and shrieked jumping around with me. I laughed out happily, my mood becoming much more better.
"Elle I'm so glad it happened, don't worry about Jade." I raised a brow at Lia.
"Yeah we know he was waiting outside for you because we met him on our arrival back home, me first before Lia. He had insisted he'll wait till you return, forget about him, he'll be fine. Anyway you have to give us the details of everything, Lia told me about this amazing offer of Kim Lisa to come live with her because she's alone and bored, you know living your friends and all and staying in a big house alone with guards and maids, sounds like prison. I've seen the photos and I love it, I know you will too. Well let's talk about D2 first. Lia get her a glass of milk she looks tired."
"Certainly," Lia scurried into the kitchen.
Kim wants us to live with her? We'll be able to practice as a complete team more consistently. Well that's nice if her home isn't so far and is blessed with a garden. That'll be after I've seen it though, and if we'll take it, it'll be after the tests.
"D2 you say?" I laughed as I sank down onto the sofa.
"Yeah, Daniel Danielle, you and Daniel or Daniel Diva, hence D2." She explained placing a hand on her waist dramatically.
"That's totally crazy Nia." I laughed pulling off my shoes.
"Maybe or maybe not. Anyway, I'm extremely happy for you girls. I mean your dreams came through, Lia said it's like there's more to you and Dan than we all think. Do you have any idea what that could be? She said when Jay and his sister saw the photos of you too on social media, he had shed a tear. What does that mean?" She asked excitedly, plopping down beside me. I shrugged.
"Well Dan said something like that, but he's yet to tell me exactly. He once asked me if we've ever met in the past before? I told him no because I don't know and I can't remember. But I think there's something too, Dan won't tell me, he says he wants me to remember myself. He even calls me his first love can you believe that?"
"If you are his first love, what then is Goldie and how are you his first love?" Tania asked in a puzzled state.
"Well I think Dan's probably Jordan." Lia said walking in with a glass of milk.
"What!" Nia and I chorused.
"How can? His name isn't Jordan, it's Daniel." I said.
"Yeah," Nia supported. Lia smiled and gave me the glass.
"Drink first," she said.
"Thanks," I drank a little and turned to her.
"What do you mean by what you just said?" I asked curiously.
"Well earlier today at Lisa's place I saw a beautiful drawing of her which she told me Dan drew and gifted her on her 20th birthday..."
"Dan's an artist?" Tania asked surprised. We both nodded.
"You know too? How then did I not know?" She mused.
"Dan told me. Infact he drew me today." I smiled.
"You say what now?" Lia wowed.
"Let's see it. You have it right?" Tania asked.
"Yeah I do but let's hear Lia first." I smiled.
"Okay." She said.
"Well there was something that caught my attention on the portrait, it's the artist signature name."
"And what was it?" I asked Impatiently.
"JR'S ART, what I was thinking was why not DR'S ART but JR'S ART? What's Dan other name that the public isn't aware of but then I thought, maybe it's JORDANS ART. Don't know but the way Jay looked when he was showing us the photo was something that was more than just being happy about Dan's dating. There was something else, but they told me with time I'd understand and that you might know something." She said.
"You've got a point Lia." Tania said in agreement.
"I think so too but if Dan is Jordan why can't I recognize him as the kid I saw then, that kid's hair was black and curly, he doesn't look like Dan. Or did his facial expression changed as he grew older? I don't know, if it's Dan why then does no one call him Jordan, only Dan. This is so confusing." I sighed.
"It sure is, let's see the photo please, I'm sure you'll understand it all later." Tania said reaching for my bag. Lia nodded in agreement.
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. This is so... Oh my..." Tania was already staring at the photo, I smiled.
"Beautiful right," I smiled.
"Yeah it is, this is so amazing. How did he get everything so perfectly? Dan's a genius." Tania said smiling.
"I told him so." I chuckled.
"It honestly is amazing Elle, of all your art collections, I've never seen any one looking so extraordinarily beautiful." Lia said in happiness.
"That's true Elle, but seems like Dan doesn't focus more on this field. I guess few people know he's an artist." Tania said.
"Yeah, he said he draws anytime he's bored or compelled to." I smiled in reminisce of when he said that.
"Let's fix it in a frame shall we?" Lia smiled.
"Oh there it is, the signature name JR'S ART." Tania said pointing at the bottom of the drawing. I shifted closer and stared at it. How did I not notice this earlier?
"Ignore it." Lia said. I smiled, I hope he really is Jordan anyway. The door bell chimed, it's late in the night, who could that be?
"I'll get it," Lia said standing up.
Moments later....
"Jasmine?" Lia said. Nia and I turned to the door and the distraught looking girl stepped in and Lia hugged her Immediately as she wept.
"Your mom again?" Lia asked from her shoulders. Jasmine nodded in the affirmative.

I looked at Nia and we stood up and hugged her too.
"Sorry dear, it's well. We'll help you this time." I said patting her gently....
