Z-One decided to disband.
According to the contract, the band would last at least two years before the members could start to pursue their personal careers. However, after what happened to Tiffany, the girls wouldn’t be able to show themselves in public as a band anymore.
Besides, everyone’s career was doing great individually. Cody ended up deciding to let Beth and Luna debut as a duo. They were the most talented singers and dancers in the whole group. They would become so big once they decided to aim for the international market. The fans were crazy about the new band.
A lot of people shipped Thea and Beth. Now that they had to go their separate ways, a lot of shippers were quite disappointed. They asked the company to let Thea join as well.
Thea had suffered a lot from the video the anonymous account posted.
There were a lot of people accusing her of being a homewrecker.
Thea wanted to avoid getting too involved in this, or she would bring harsh criticisms to the girls. She thus congrats the girls on Twitter, posting photos they took when they first met during the competition.
The fans of the three girls all started to comment, saying how much they missed the good old time during the competition.
Luckily, Thea also got a lot of accomplishments during the last year. Beth and Luna also achieved a lot in the music industry. Everyone got great development and progress.
As for other members, Rebecca was trying to change her style. Core also became an actor successfully. She was cast in a great web show, and she got some great feedback.
Gigi was always a hard-working girl. She had become a star in a couple of reality shows, and Jessica was even better. Apart from Thea, Beth, and Luna, she probably got the biggest fame. According to those paparazzi, she even got herself a wealthy boyfriend who absolutely adored her.
Tiffany was the only one who left this industry.
Come to think of it, the wealthiest two girls in the band both didn’t end up very well. Anna was almost nowhere to find on the internet, and Tiffany had fallen as she deserved.
Things had changed so much compared with the time when they had just debuted.
Since the band was going to dissolve, the company decided to hold a concert for the band and its fans for the last time.
Thea needed to get some time to go back to practice when she was still on the crew.
When she went back to the studio, all the girls were there except Tiffany.
“Thea!” Beth was the first one who came forth and gave her a hug, “I saw what happened on the internet. You alright?”
Thea nodded and smiled, “Don’t worry, Beth, I’m fine.”
Luna was curious, “How did you know that Weston girl?”
Other girls’ faces changed. Why did she have to mention that person in front of Thea? This was so stupid.
Thea was now the girl who developed the best in this group. Yet Luna just had to ask a question so senseless as to make her uncomfortable.
Gigi rolled her eyes, “Why are you even asking that, Luna? Just mind your own business.”
Luna instantly realized that she had just asked a stupid question. She tried to make up for her mistake as she hurried to say, “Thea… I hope you won’t mind. I didn’t think when I asked the question.”
Thea nodded, “It really doesn’t matter. I’m not mad at all. Let’s start practicing the choreography.”
Cody gave everyone in the house a ticket the next day, inviting them to go to Z-One’s last concert.
The concert began at 7 square. The eight girls showed up on stage with beautiful dresses and immaculate makeup. When the music started to boom, Candace started to bounce up and down as well.
“Thea is so beautiful! She’s so eye-catching! She’s shining! Thea! Thea! I’m here!” Candace was so excited.
Mia still disliked Thea, but she just had to admit that Thea was born for that stage. She looked extremely beautiful. When the cameras zoomed in, her beauty just became ever fiercer.
Cristelle looked around before she leaned in to ask Candace, “Did you see Cody?”
“Nope,” Candace looked around, “I haven’t seen him since we got in.”
Fritzi was a bit nervous as she turned to Cristelle, “I think there are paparazzi filming us, Cristelle.”
Cristelle smiled at her reassuringly, “It’s okay. It’s not like we’re doing something nasty.”
Fritzi thought for a second and nodded, starting to enjoy the concert as well.
All the girls shared their thoughts at the end of the concert. They interacted with the fans a little as well.
In the end, they hugged each other and cried deeply on the stage.
Z-One thus officially disbanded.

Meanwhile, in Watson’s house, Amy was also crying on her bed. Candace came a couple of days ago, telling her that Cody had known that she was the one who posted the video.
Candace told her to stop, saying that what she did was going insane.
The more Amy thought about it, the sadder she became. She had loved Cody for 20 years, but they all told her that she should give up. How could she quit? Thea Todd was the one who should quit!
This was so unfair to her. She had been with Cody since childhood so she can’t give up on him.
The next morning, when Helena came to knock on Amy’s door, the girl didn’t answer. Helena suddenly had a bad feeling. When she broke into the girl’s room, Amy was already lying on the carpet, a bottle of pills spilling on the floor beneath her.
“Amy! Amy! Wake up!” Helena screamed as she went to hold Amy in her arms, “Don’t scare Mom… Amy!”
“What’s wrong? What happened?!”
Thomas ran toward Amy’s room, still in his pajamas, after hearing the noise.
“Hurry! Amy tried to kill herself. We need to send her to the hospital!” Helena held her daughter up, walking out of the room immediately.
