"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.
