Chapter 16

{Yall's feedback >>>>>>> Glad yall are thinking and TRYING to solve this mystery. :p}

********************************************
She took a few steps forward but SB stopped her in her tracks.

"I swear to God if you move."

Nicki didn't even know how to began to commence the predicament. She was speechless and her body was stiff.

"N-Nic don't let him do this, please. I-I'm s-" Drake was trembling in fear.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP."

"Wait, Safaree...Think about what you're doing...." Nic held her hands in front of her looking between Drake, Safaree and a gun at Drake's head. He was anticipating to shoot him, so he kept silent and didn't move a muscle.

"L-look! It's not even that serious! JUST STOP!" Nic cried out.

"HELL NAW! I'm tired of this thirsty ass nigga always trailing around you like he's in DIRE NEED of some shit. Fuck this nigga!"

"It's not even LIKE that! You're getting the wrong idea!"

Drizzy glanced at Nicki and pleaded with his eyes for her not to mention anything about the previous night. If she told...it would be the end of him. She eyed him and saw how vunerable he looked. He was on the verge of being killed and by her opening her mouth, it would mean she didn't care.

More tears escaped her eyes as she didn't know what to do or say. Nic was terrified that if she or Drake said anything to set Safaree off, he would pull the trigger. Nicki slowly stepped forward closer to the two men, carefully looking into Gali's eyes.

Safaree kept the gun at his head and scrutinized Nicki.

"Safaree....put...the gun..DOWN." She gritted through her teeth.

"Don't you DARE come closer, I'll shoot this nigga!"

She halted in her steps again and gave him a devious look. "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND?! You're about to KILL him! Do you realize what you're doing right now?!"

"I know EXACTLY what I'm doin! I'm about to end this nigga life, that's WHAT!" SB pressed the gun harder on his temple while yelling.

Drake cringed and shut his eyes, still not saying a word.

"Look. How about you just tell me before you regret this..." Nicki calmly said.

"How about you tell me what's going?"

"WITH WHAT?! What did I do?!"

"YOU FUCKIN LIED TO ME! YOU LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING, NIC! You think all this shit was a joke, huh?!" SB was livid.

"What are you even TALKING about?!?!"

"Ever since the plane crash, yo ass been actin strange all of a sudden. First it was the calls....then the people...then the texts. You asked me to protect you for a reason but.....how am I suppose to when you were hiding shit from me? I knew it was this nigga all along...."

Her eyes shot big and she froze at that last part. She gave him a confused look and spoke up. "Excuse Me???"

"You wanna sit here and lie in my gotdamn face about you 'seein shit' and put me through all this BULLSHIT to throw me off. Hiding this nigga behind my back. You must've had this muhfucka callin 'Unknown'...ain't sayin shit when I be around. This bitch nigga gotchu fuckin with MY emotions nshit. Puttin on this act and playin the VICTIM. Tuh...LaGuardia taught you well."

"Wait a minute...WHERE the fuck are you getting all this from?! Why would I lie to you about some shit like that, Safaree?!"

"Nicki. Tonight's not the night to play me. I've been played enough. I'm sick of this shit."

"SOMEONE is after me, for God's Sake! They've been after me since DAY FUCKING ONE. I simply asked you to protect me and now you think I'M acting strange because YOU believe I'm cheating on you??? That's the DUMBEST shit I've ever heard."

Aubrey's heart dropped. He looked carefully up at Nic then back to the ground. He became nervous.

"Onika, you better give me a fucking explanation on why you didn't come home last night. I trusted you would be home before anything crazy happened. I ain't neva been so damn worried in my life....Mmh. Do YOU know why she aint come home last night???" Safaree forced the gun to his head again, turning to look in front of him.

Drake didn't say anything. Instead he only heard his heartbeat racing time.

There was a complete silence in the room and tension was within the 3 of them. Drake silenty prayed over and over in his head that nothing would be revealed.

"Somebody betta explain some shit to me before this bullet is released!" Safaree disrupted the silence.

"....Can you please just let him go?" Nicki said just above a whisper.

"T-th-this is all a misunderstanding..." Drizzy finally spoke up.

SB cocked the gun and nudged his head again.

"LET HIM EXPLAIN!" Nic yelled out.

At this point it was do or die. Someone had to spill before it turned into a murder case. Time was ticking and there wasn't much left because SB was on a thin line. He was fed up of the lies and craziness Nicki was putting him through. But was she really lying about everything?

Scaff awaited a confession from Drake.

He gave up and confessed.

"Look man, we went on our date and had a good time. We made a toast to Nic's first world tour starting soon, sat back and had a couple of drinks and laughed. It was getting a little late so we needed to go home. You know how she gets when she's dr-" Drake got carried away chuckling back at the memory of Nicki being drunk the previous night.

"SAFAREE. I need to talk to you...." Nicki interrupted Drake swiftly before he finished. She widened her eyes at him giving him a 'What the fuck are you doing?!' look. [I can't believe this nigga was finna rat on me!]

There was a short silence.

"No-no...Let this nigga finish his story. I wanna know more." He tightened his grip around the gun & prepared his finger on the trigger.

"But I really need to talk to you!"

"Did You touch her?" he ignored her, looking down at Drake.

Nic's heart jolted at his sudden question.

"Man W-WHAT?! Whatchu mean did I touc-"

"DID YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER OR NOT?!"

"SAFAREE! STOP!!!"

Aub rised up out of his seat, stanfing face to face with SB.

"Shoot me."

"Put the gun down..." She looked between the two.

They had a stare down. Safaree was tempted and Drake waited.

"Please don't do this. It's not worth it."

"Try me nigga."

She slowly inched up to SB and placed one hand behind his neck. He looked into her weary eyes and frowned. Her tears fell as she stared into his eyes. The tension in Gali's body was building as she lowered his hand down. Drake was on the verge of retaliating as he saw what utterly disgusted him. When the gun was put down, she held it and forced SB into the kitchen. He glanced back at Drizzy with a devilish look.

"Muthafucka, If you leave, you better BELIEVE Ima fuck you up." (pauz)

"Tuh. Yeah right."

---

The two sat down in Drake's kitchen. It was nearing 10pm. Nic sat the gun on the table out of the way and ran her tiny hands over her face in distraught. Safaree sat silently and waited.

"Whyyyy are you doing this, Faree? Why to meee?" Nic whispered and cried holding on to one of his hands from across the table.

"So you takin up for dis nigga now??"

"Safaree! Please tell me what you're talking about!"

"You really don't get it do you?"

She was addled.

"I knew trying this love thing out with you wouldn't work out. I....I love you but...I just don't understand what I did wrong to make you do this to me...."

A sharp feeling hit Nicki inside, she felt she knew what was coming but didn't want to believe he was about to say it.

"I love you as a best friend.....and I believe it should stay like that. Like the way it used to be."

"No no no Safaree, baby listen, I-I-I was going to tell you about the txts I was just afraid on how you-" Nicki was getting choked up.

"Ion wanna hear dat shit, Nic. Look. I need some space....some time to think. I'm finna get my own place....I can't deal with this shit. I'-"

She jumped up and sobbed in his face holding onto him with dear life, not wanting him to go. She couldn't apprehend all of this at once. "Please Safaree, Pleeeeease! You can't leave me here by myself! Why aren't you believing me?! Please stay! Don't leave me! What if something happens?"

Nic grabbed his arm as he got up leaving. Her tiny body couldn't fight him to stop from escaping. She pleaded and he ignored her, pushing her away. When they entered back through the bedroom, Drake was gone.

"That son of bitch." Safaree stormed out of the house to his car. She paused and glanced around the room and began to panic.

"Oh shit...." she said under her breath.

The start of his car roared outside. When the car backed out of the driveway, tiny footsteps charged after car. SB zipped away only leaving dust behind. Nic missed him by a couple of seconds. Now with no one in the house, she was left alone.

Drake was no where to be found, so she tried to text him.

Nic:
Whr r u????

No response.

Nic tried calling him.

Voicemail.

In the house, she sat back at the table and thought. [Okay, Nic. Just calm down. Theres not enough time left to be down. You have to be strong. Who knows where Safaree could be, hopefully Aubrey is safe.]

"I just need to go home."

-----

On the way home, it was silent. HB could've sworn she was going crazy, trying to really figure out where she went wrong with the situation. All she wanted was peace and for Safaree to have an understanding. Never did she mean for it to go this far with just one tiny secret. Luckily, the ALL tea didn't get spilled all over the floor.

[*long sigh* Alright...I-I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna wash up. Prepare for these next two weeks. He'll.....he'll come back soon. I know he will. I'll just have to be strong.]

"Oh my GOD I can't believe this is happening right now!" she hit her steering will in frustration.

[No. Maybe he was right.....maybe...maybe it is Aubrey behind this........Nahhhh. He wouldn't do that...would he?]

Nicki pulled into her driveway, ran straight inside and locked the doors. Since Safaree didn't return home, she was in the big home by herself. The security alarm was set, every door and window was locked—[No...no..I don't need to tell anyone right now. I'll just wait for him to come back. My barbz'll be praying for me. They're okay. They'll understand, I'm working. Mother will do the same. I can do this. I still have my entourage. My security. I'm okay. Nicki you're okay.]—then went upstairs.

She walked into the bathroom and disrobed immediately. The water began running in the tub. It was set on hot enough for her to relax and rethink this entire situation.

Before Nicki climbed into the tub she couldn't help but check her phone once more.

Baby:
Faree come home...pls

Nic waited for 3mins and didn't receive a reply.

"UGHH!" more frustration boiled through her veins.

------

@NICKIMINAJ:
Barbz...i luv u. Trust. xoxoxoxo #PinkFridayTour

Nicki sat in bed and read through her TL. Being away from the barbz was hurting her because of the drama that had all happened over the course of 2 months now. They really didn't need to hear about their fav being in danger. Sure the barbz missed her but Nicki didn't want to put them through her personal problems. And The media was NOT about to get invloved. There was no correct way to approach it because eveything was happening unexpectedly. With the creep still out there trying damage her, her only extinct was to have massive security and to not be alone.

Well the security part worked out....

Guessing SB made it quite clear he needed space. It seemed like HB wouldn't hear from him anymore that night. She prayed that he was at least safe and that Drake was okay. To be honest, the creep could be anyone out there trying to hurt her. But who did she believe?

Chapter 15

{ :llllllll }

*********************************************

"You know what time it is? Hmm? Did you EVER THINK ABOUT LOOKIN AT THE TIME EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE?!" Safaree's voice crescendoed as he yelled at her.

Nicki slightly jumped at the deepness of his voice. "SAFAREE! WHY are you yelling? I'm fine. I'm here. Geez....chill out." Nic held out her hands in front of her as she tried to calm him down.

"Chill OUT? ......You want me to just 'CHILL OUT'?! After being worried for fuckin HOURS tryna look for yo ass and had me searchin all over LA for YOU....Youuuuuu...tuh..." SB charged Nicki up with all red in his eyes. He raised his hand at her but had to stop his self before his temper got the best of him.

Nicki stood there and looked up at Gali with a cold glare. "You wouldn't."

SB took a deep breath and hung his head, dropping his hand.

"Nicki listen.....I specifically told you to be home way before it got too late. You NEVER called nor TEXTED me saying when you were gonna come home. What happen to communication, Nic?!"

She snapped. "FIRST of all.....I'm a grown ass woman and I do whatever the FUCK I WANT. Who are YOU to tell me what time I come in, in MY fuckin house, Safaree?! It's been a long night so I need to rest." Nicki started up the stairs but Safaree stopped her in her tracks.

"Not when you have some crazy people around here trying to harm you. Not with a nigga like Drake. THAT'S when I start to worry, Nic. Have you YET to realize what's happening?! Did you NOT know that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO YOU OUT HERE?! You just don-"

"NO. I hired that detective and extra security for just that reason, Safaree! It can't get any safer than THAT! What am I supposed to do? Sit at home all day and let people DO things for me?! Fuck Outta Here, I can't live my life in fear of this world. I have a TOUR to do. Events to attend! Meetings and Rehearsals are non-stop until it's time to fly to Australia! There are crazy ass people EVERYWHERE! I can't do anything to stop that.." She turned back around to walk up the stairs once again.

"Then what am I here for......?" Safaree dropped his head in defeat.

Nic stopped in her footsteps and froze. She didn't respond.

"You wanna tell me what's been really going on?"

Nicki's heart jumped. She took a deep breath and slowly turned back at him. "I'm gonna. Go Take. A NAP," she gritted through he teeth. Nic continued stomping up the rest of the stairs, into her room, slamming the door.

Safaree stood there for a second with all rage in his soul. He was upset because he couldn't let out what he needed to tell her. Even worse, she wouldn't let him. He kicked the edge of the stairs as he silently cussed to himself at how angry he was.

SB plopped on the couch and buried his face along with his thoughts into his bare hands. So many thoughts and emotions sprinted in his mind, he couldn't even function properly. All the secrets, the lies, the worries, the pain were jumbled up and conjured up in him, he was desperate to just disperse.

Not being able to remain sitting in the house any longer, Gali jumped up, grabbed his keys and his phone and disappeared out of the door.

------

Back upstairs Nicki disrobed with only her underwear & bra on, in bed crying her eyes out. She had been crying for 1 hour now about what had happen last night with Drake, the awful suspenseful dream she had and what Safaree had told her earlier this morning.

There were no good explainations from anyone of why all of this was happening to her. Everything was becoming more horrible everyday for her and nothing stayed right. She worried alot about rehearsals in the upcoming week and most importantly, the tour.

Nicki finally stopped crying and thought about some encoraging words her mother would always make her remember. Nic reached in her dresser to pull out her bible in begin reading some unforgettable scriptures she always lived by. She prayed and talked to God about her problems and hoped the madness would end and that she could live in peace.

-------

Safaree finally came back to the house after rolling around for several hours really rethinking everything. It was bad enough that Nicki was putting him through her troubles and that he had to deal with it. He just didn't need anymore bullshit right now, it was too much to handle.

Parking the car, SB took a deep breath before exiting his car. As he closed the door, he spotted a man dressed all in black walking down the block by himself. The man glanced at Safaree and observed him & the house. His eyes wondered around at the tall frame of the house as he took a good look at it. SB continued to look at what the man was doing as he walked past their driveway and went on down the block. The man took one last look at Safaree before turning his head back forward.

Gali twisted his face in confusion at what all that was about and shook his head. He continued inside.

Settling back in on a quiet evening, Safaree didn't dare to bother Nicki, Where ever she was. He sat on the couch and turned on ESPN. His blackberry buzzed as he got new notifications from twitter. SB went in and begin reading his timeline, seeing what the barbz & coons were up to.

@SCAFFBEEZY:
Waddup coons ...

His mentions flooded with TM screaming they missed him and Nic. A little red light flashed on his phone meaning the battery was going dead. Safaree searched in his pockets, LV backpack and around him for his charger. He then sprinted upstairs to search for it in his room.

When he quickly remembered he let Nicki borrow his charger, he went to her room.

Lightly knocking at the door, he walked in to see her peacefully sleeping. SB scanned the room before moving about to grab it on the side where she was asleep. A buzz and a light flicked from under Nicki's bed from the corner of his eye. He inched to the direction of it and reached for it. Her phone had went off notifying there was a new message.

Safaree glanced at the screen & cocked an eyebrow being curious. Thinking whether or not he wanted to take that chance to peek at what was on her phone or to just set it back on the bed beside her.....

The devil won him over as he didn't risk fetching the charger on her side so that she wouldn't wake up, instead he just took her phone with him. He tip-toed back out of her room and rushed back into the living room to explore her phone. He knew it wasn't right but it also isn't right to hide things from him........right?

An anxious Safaree unlocked her phone as the notification popped up on her screen reading "New Message". He clicked open and prepared his eyes to see what it said.

#25371:
Don't tell him what happen. Shut it and don't say a word.

SB's heart flopped when he read it. His eyes schemed through the previous messages from the same person and it revealed the earlier messages from 2 months ago. It sort of became a curious matter to what the messages lead up to. Once again, his mind raced, his heart pounded and his soul was full of rage.

It seemed as smoke was coming out of his nose at how angry he was at the moment. Scaff closed out of the locked— & ONLY txts she kept in her phone— messages and charged right up the stairs.

Without warning, Safaree rammed into Nic's room, causing the door to slam against the back of the wall making a mark.

The loud entrance startled Nicki as she popped up out of her sleep to see a heavy-breathing SB in front of her bed.

"Wha? Safaree, W-What are y- What do you want?" she managed to say squinting at a blurry looking SB as she tried to focus and sit up.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT? YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT?! I WANT ANSWERS!" he tossed her phone at her and stammered out.

Nicki rubbed her eyes and tried to process what was happening as she was just waking up so confused. "Safaree, Wait! W-Wait wait wait where-"

Nik kept stumbling over the sheets trying to make it out of bed and after Safaree. He had already made it downstairs by time she chased after him.

"SAFAREE! What's going on? What?! What happen?! What's w- wait wait!"

"YOU WANNA PLAY THAT GAME WITH ME?! SO WE PLAYING THAT GAME NOW?! Okay! Okay! We'll see!"

"WHAT ARE TALKING ABOUT?! ANSWER ME! Faree, what did I do?! Wait Wait WAIT! Whoa where are you going?!" Nicki's liddle heart began to ache at Safaree's sudden outrageous actions. Tears were on the verge of falling as she was overwhelmed and confused. She tried her best to stop him at the door so he wouldn't leave but he picked her up and placed her to the side out of his way.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" he didn't answer nor look up at her.

Nic watched as he hurriedly got in his car and sped away. Tears fell as she watched him drive out of sight.

"No! I have to go after him." Nicki said to herself as she rushed to the closet to grab her slippers and a hoodie, her phone and keys. She jumped in her car and zipped down the rode to catch up to Safaree in his red Benz.

Nic's hands were trembling as she didn't know where he was going or doing.

[Why is he speeding?! Oh my god he needs to slow down!] Nik couldn't quite keep up with Gali and his dangerous speeding down the busy streets of Malibu. She stayed close behind to pay attention of where he was on his way to.

---

Safaree picked up his phone to dial Wayne's number. He continued to speed through LA, unaware of Nicki following close behind. The phone had finally picked up.

"Yo."
"Aye, wuts good blud?"
"Wuts good Gali!"
"Say, you know where Drizzy stay?"
"Uhhh, yeah holup."

Wayne proceeded to tell him the directions to Drake's address.

"Aight thanks man."
"Yeah. Yo you aight?" Wayne could hear his voice tensing up on the other line.
"Yeah man. I-I'll hitchu up lata. I'm in traffic &shit."
"Aight. Be careful man. Lata."
"Yeah."

He hung up the phone, now speeding even faster down onto the highway towards Drake's house. More rage conjured up through his vains as his blood boiled & eyes as red as the devil's.

---

Nicki's leg kept shaking as she struggled to keep up with Gali without getting caught by a cop. She bit at her the corners of her lips with tears in her eyes and thoughts swirling in her mind at what could've triggered SB's actions a while ago.

[Oh my godddd, where is the boy going?! Ugh!] Nic thought.

The scenery in the area they were driving looked quite familiar to her. She frowned and looked around some more to realize, they were on their way to Drake's residence.

Her eyes shot wide. Something told her to try and call SB before they got any further down the way. She hoped for an answer but he ignored the call. A red light made her stop as she lost Safaree in the midst of passing up a few traffic lights ahead. She caught a glimpse of another car almost coliding with his car at an intersection. The roaring red Benz screeched and kept going.

Nic held her breath at the split second he almost caused an accident.

"OH MY GOD!!!" Nicki threw her hand over her chest when a sharp nerve jolted in her heart. She tried to regulate her breath.

------
After about 2hrs of reckless driving to catch Safaree before he tried anything he would regret, Nicki arrived at Drake's 10 minutes after Faree did. Hopping out the car, she walked straight into his house to find nobody in sight.

"Safareeeeee!" there was no answer.

Nic searched around for any signs of them but found nothing. A loud shatter sounded from Drake's bedroom. Nicki snapped her neck towards the sound of shattered glass & followed it.

When she turned around the corner, it made her scream to the top of her lungs. Nic dropped everything she had in her hand due to being straight startled by what was before her eyes and began to cry out.

Chapter 14

Nicki opened her eyes to a dark, cold floor she was unfamiliar with. Her eyes were quite blurry and she couldn't make out anything in her surroundings.

It was rather silent. She found herself laying on a floor of an apartment with nothing really in it. It was raining outside. Thundering and lightening, in fact.

There was no kitchen. No living room. No restroom. But one bedroom.

Nic slowly observed the room she was trembling and shivering in because of how cold it was.

She began to panic when she noticed the place didn't look familiar to her. Nic quickly got up but froze when she realized she was bare foot and only had on a thong and a big dirty white T-shirt. No wig. No make up.

Her long dark brown hair was messy and covering half of her face. Nicki slowly walked around the apartment looking for Safaree.

"Safaree? Hello...? Safaree are you here...?" you could hear the trembling in her voice.

As she neared a wide window that was as big as one entire side of a wall, she carefully approached it to see where she was.

The rain was pouring hard, therefore making it really hard to see anything outside. A roar of thunder crashed and it startled her. She was taken aback with the lightening as it made her stumble backwards.

She then walked away and continued to search for Safaree.

"FAREE ?!?! WHERE ARE YOU ?!" Nicki's eyes began to sting as they watered. She was cold, lonely and paranoid. She paced her way into the small bedroom.

It gave off a dull dark grey sight with a pure white-sheeted bed. One small window and cold hard floors also.

Nicki was utterly disgusted with the place and she wanted to go home. Tears began to streak as she backed away out of the room back into the living room to escape the apartment.

A door suddenly slammed behind her as she let out a scream and turned around. A man dressed in black was standing at the door of the bedroom and did not move a muscle.

He was silently breathing, not saying one word and stared at Nicki.

Nic struggled to distinguish the man's face because it was blacked out.

She was confused and really couldn't tell who he was.

"Who are you?" eyeing him carefully.

He was silent still.

Nicki tried to escape from the room, running passed him but he grabbed her with all his might and yanked her aside.

She screamed to the top of her lungs for help but of course no one could hear her.

------

Safaree was speeding down the highway on his way to the Vaks.

Thoughts trailed across his mind. He had never been so worried before but now, it was pierced all across his face.

Something told him this whole "date" would be disasterous. For no one not knowing to protect and look after Nicki with him not around due to these strange events, she should've still known to come home before a certain time.

He tried calling her 2 more times.

[What if she's in danger right now?!] [I bet HIS scary ass ain't even protecting her. Stupid ass..] [Fuck. I hope she's alright.]

No answer.

SB hit the steering wheel, upset at Nic still not picking up. Gali's thoughts were getting the best of him as he sped down the streets of LA, anxious to find Drake and Nicki pronto.

-----

Nicki began beating the man in his face, which felt like punching a plush animal that wouldn't budge or react.

She cried out even more as the man fought her off and threw her to the floor. He still didn't move nor say a word. It was complicated for Nicki to read his emotions/expressions because of not seeing his face.

Nic got up and fought the man once again but she was defeated. This time he threw her onto the white bed and traipsed closer to her.

When she plummeted onto the bed, she couldn't move. Weird hands stretching through the sheets, arose out of the bed and seized her wrists and ankles.

Nicki shrieked, her heart raced and the man stood before her. The hands wouldn't release her free. He made sure she couldn't go anywhere.

"Pleaseee, Pleasee just let me go!!! I beg of you, please!!!!" she cried.

The man slowly crawled on top of her now hovering over face to face. Nic gazed right at his face still trying to discern it. Still, she saw nothing but a blank black face. Now, she could barely breathe as her heart kicked out of her chest.

The man placed his index over her lips and all she heard was "Shhhhhh....." to silence her cries.

A see of the strange people she once saw staring before were now standing behind and around the bed staring at her.

The very last thing she saw was a hand placed over her face as her last scream was muffled and everything went black.

-----

The Vaks and Safaree spent hours searching for them but failed.

"So what happens now?" said an exhausted CLS.

"Iono man. All we can do is either send out a missing report or just tell Wanye and Baby so they can help us." Rex, directing that last part to SB.

"What time is it?" CJ asked.

"4:18am. Yo man, I'ma head home. I'm sorry but I'm OD tired. Catch you later, nigg." Vincent told Safaree dapping him up before leaving.

"Yeah same. Yo man, sorry we couldn't find Nic tonight. But we'll deadass deal with that nigga as soon as we find her. Don't worry man, she knows better. She's a strong woman."

"Aye, call us tomorrow and tell us if you got any luck, nigga. Go home and get some rest for now." Rex told Fengali as he walked away with the Vaks.

"Aight yall. I will & thanks for helping." SB turned and got into his car and sat there for a bit.

He took a deep breath and silently prayed for her to be okay. Hoping she'd come back soon, Scaff drove back home and waited up for Nic for the remaining of the late night/early morning.

-----

Nicki woke up gasping for air and yelled out Safaree's name that could only be heard above a whisper due to her being breathless.

A single tear sat at the edge of her eye, ready to fall. She was trying to catch her breath and observed her surroundings.

Something wasn't quite right.

There was something strange about this place.

It was 8:07am and a ray of sunlight spotted through a window in front of the bed she laid in. She squinted her eyes at the light hitting her face, blinding her.

When Nicki turned to her left and saw a figure moving under the covers, she pulled them back just a bit to see Drake sleeping like a mouse.

Her eyes shot wide as she gasped and hopped out of bed screaming.

"OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE?!?! WHERE AM I?! WHERE'S SAFAREE?!?!?!?!"

Drake popped up from under the covers to see a red-faced, covered-up, shouting Nicki on the other side of the room. He stuck his hands out trying to explain everything to her but she kept yelling.

"WHY IN THE FUCK AM I NAKED?! OH MY GODDDDDDD!" Nicki took the covers and hugged them securely over her exposed body, feeling embarrassed and humiliated. She took a deep breath and eyed a puzzled face Drake carefully.

"Drake....Drake....PLEASE tell me where am I and Why am I here.... WHY AM I IN YOUR BED NAKED?!"

"Nicki LISTEN....I-I...I.."

"Oh my god this can't not be happening right now why am I here why am I here what am I doing here oh my god why am I here right now what is happening to me oh my god oh my god...." Nicki begin to panic pacing around the room trying to find her clothes and leave as fast as she could.

"Nic, Just l-l-lemme explain...I-I w-" Drake hopped out of bed slipping on his boxers, almost stumbling over things trying to explain.

"YOU WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" she began to tremble.

"LOOK! Y-You were so drunk last night, I couldn't let you DRIVE home. I-I mean cccome you kn-"

"Wait whoa whoa whoa. Hold awn. You let me get drunk last night?! How many drinks did I have?????"

"Only like.....3 drinks."

"ONLY?! No....NO...This NOT happening right now...." She refuse to believe what she figured they might've did last night, had actually happened. She couldn't even remember half her night because of being inebriate. "What kind of fucking person ARE YOU? YOU Fucking KNOW I can't handle alcohol like that! You let this happen to me!"

"I'm sooooo sorry, Nic. I mean it."

"SORRY, DRAKE?! Sorry for fuckin getting me drunk, taking me here and.....and...." Nicki felt as if she needed to regurgitate at any moment. She was disgusted with herself mostly because she let it happen even though she was intoxicated.

She ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. Unnoticed tears began to fall down her cheek and that's when her emotions really hit her. Nic felt sick to her stomach. A sudden anger came over her, Nika stormed out of the bathroom yelling to the top of her lungs at Drake.

"If you really fucking cared about me, I would NOT be here, I wouldn't have been drinking and NONE of this bullshit would've happened. You took ADVANTAGE of me. Stupid fuck."

Drake continued to apologize, regretting everything he did last night with her. He really had fucked up this time. "Please just forgive me, Nic. I know I fucked up bad bu-"

She quickly interrupted him.

"No. As a matter of fact, Our friendship is done. Don't contact me for any reason. I'm through with you. You stepped out of boundaries with me and it's all over. Wish you the best of luck with life and your career."

"Nic...." Drake walked up reaching for her as he saw her crying.

"NO! Just....Please."

Nic went to the door grabbing her purse and heels. "Shit. Where are my keys?" she asked herself, trying to recall where she last had them. She searched through her purse and around the area.

Drizzy came out the room and held out her keys. Nic froze and glanced behind her and saw him standing there with the most reprehensible look in his eyes.

She snatched her keys away from him and stormed out of the house not saying another word to him. Drake sadly watched her get in her car and swiftly drive away.

A long way back home, Nicki drove with tears constantly streaming down her puffy red face. She kept letting out small screams or hitting the wheel out of anger everytime she thought of Drake and or attempted to remember last night.

[What will I tell Safaree....] Nic thought.

This was do or die. Nic knew she was already hiding enough things from Safaree but one more secret wouldn't hurt right?

[Right?] Nicki questioned to herself, in fact.

Pulling into the driveway of her house, a disgusted, hurt, exhausted, nervous Nic sat in her car a couple minutes longer brainstorming an explaination to Faree of her disappearance.

Before she prepared to go inside, a txt came to her barbieberry.

#25371:
Sorry about last night. He was a bit overwhelmed....

[He?] Nicki jolted at the word "He" and didn't know how to exactly process the whole text. The clue in the text wasn't clear to her. [But...the only...huh?] Nic was very much confused and needed to know what this meant.

------

Nic tip-toed into the house hoping Safaree didn't hear her coming through the door. Just as she was about to quietly pass by the doorway of the Kitchen door....a tired, stressed, strained voice came from in the kitchen.

"Where you been?" Safaree calmly asked. He sat still, eyeing at Onika pausing slightly pass the doorway.

She froze in her footsteps. Her heart was beating fast now.

Nicki turned around and stood in the doorway, avoiding eye contact with him. She stood in silence as he waited for an explanation.
