Still strong together

After a four year leap,Quan is still dating Aaliyah while CJ is now dating Savannah. CJ and Quan haven't found any jobs pertaining to the course they studied in college so they are working as hotel attendants to make some income and raise their apartment rent. Aaliyah is working as a celebrity's assistant while Savannah is working in her father's big firm. On day whilst Quan is working,a lady comes to him and expresses her interest in him. She tells Quan to become her boyfriend and that she'll make him rich but he refuses. Despite turning her offer down, the lady continues to persuade Quan to an extent where he gets stressed. One day, Aaliyah goes to visit Quan with some flowers but as they talk, she notices that he's not being paying attention,

" What's wrong Quan? You see to be absent minded ever since I got here" Aaliyah asks with concern.

Quan doesn't tell Aaliyah the truth behind his behavior. However,he takes the flowers and goes to his room making his girlfriend feel bad so she just gets up and leaves. For over a week,Quan doesn't call or talk to Aaliyah but one day, he receives a shocking call,

" Hello Quan? It's Savannah... Aaliyah has been rushed to the hospital because she's coughing profusely and failing to breathe properly!" Savannah speaks in a panicking voice.

Quan drops his phone in shock and leaves the hotel without asking for his boss's permission and drives to the hospital. When he gets there, he finds Aaliyah struggling to breathe while the doctor tries his best to help her. Madea and Savannah are just standing there in tears. Quan starts to get a lot of thoughts in his head,

" I must be the reason why she is going through this, she must be stressing out. A week ago when she brought me flowers I said nothing and to make things worse I haven't been picking up her calls...if anything happens to her I won't forgive myself" Quan leans against the wall and slowly sits on the floor crying.

After waiting for an hour, the doctor comes out of the ICU and tells them Aaliyah fine but what caused her coughing and shortness of breath,he has no idea. When Aaliyah wakes up and feels better,Quan apologizes and tells her the reason behind his recent change in behavior and she understands him. A day later, Aaliyah is discharged and everyone around her couldn't be more happy. However, for Quan, his troubles have just began. The lady who has interest in Quan traps him,

" Can you please help me put my bags inside my room please" She asks him politely and nicely.

At first,Quan hesitates but then he helps her out considering she is a lady. When Quan enters the hotel room,the lady closes and locks the door and puts the keys in her blouse. When Quan turns,he finds himself in a very sticky situation,

" Hey...why have you locked the door? Open it now!" Quan demands but the lady is adamant in opening up.

" Why are you being so difficult Quan? Just give me your heart and I'll change your life...I mean look at me,am rich" She tries to persuade him.

Quan still refuses to fall into the temptation and tells the lady he has a girlfriend but she isn't buying it. She threatens to ruin Quan's job if he doesn't give in but he still says no. The lady tears her blouse and starts screaming for help,

" Help me! Please! Anyone out there help me!" She bangs so loudly on the door getting everyone's attention.

Soon the manager hears the noise and he calls CJ to open the door. As CJ is struggling to open up,the woman walks towards Quan and grabs his shirt harshly making the buttons to fall off. She then grabs him like a crazy person and causes him to fall on top of her and the door opens. The manager as well as CJ are left shocked with what they see. The lady quickly gets up and runs to manager while complaining and telling lies about Quan,

" This guy of yours has been cornering me and now look what he's done! I'll go and lodge a complaint to the police because he just assaulted me!" She goes back into the room changes and lashes out of the hotel. The manager scolds and shouts at Quan for such behavior and fires him instantly. CJ tries to defend his friend but he ends up been suspended in return. Unknown to Quan, Aaliyah came to bring him lunch and she happens to have heard the entire conversation. When CJ and Quan see her,they are speechless and they watch her leave the hotel.

" That's it CJ,I've lost everything...my job and my girlfriend" He panics.

CJ calms him down as they go home. When they get there, they find Aaliyah waiting for them. Before Quan could explain, " I trust you Quan,I know that lady lied" Aaliyah hugs him so tightly.

This gets Quan emotional and relieved because he thought, Aaliyah was mad at him. Just then, the police arrive and they take Quan away. Before leaving, Quan pleads with CJ and Aaliyah not to tell his parents anything concerning the matter for his mother's health's sake.
