🤍26: Crashing Down🤍

Onika
November 25th
Tennessee

"Onika can you pass the chips?." Summer reached her hand up to take the bowl of chips from me but I hugged them close.

"No."

"Why?."

"Cause I want them to myself." I grinned. Amala rolled her eyes and swatted my foot before kissing Summer's forehead and going into the kitchen to get chips for her.

The last week has been quite fun... For them. They've been going on dates and Ming has been rather scarce in the house while I've been married to the TV. I'm boo'd up too.

But one thing seemed to bother me and that was on why Danica's never called.

"Ayye potato head!." I yelled at Amala in the kitchen.

"What, Dingus!?." I gasped and set the bowl of chips on the table, getting up to go to the kitchen to join her. Summer's been feeling like she's the reason why we're all here.. Well she is... But she's pregnant I didn't want to stress her with wondering why Danica hadn't called.

"Now who the fuck you calling a Dingus!?."

"Don't make me start stating facts." She replied. I rolled my eyes and plopped my ass on the counter and swung my legs front and back just to annoy her.

"Anyway, has Danica called you?. Cause I was beginning to think maybe my phone had problems or she don't just wanna speak to me."

"No actually."

"That's kinda weird. Being her overprotective and annoying ass she'd call everyday to make sure we stayed out of trouble and abide by her rules." My eyebrows came in a knot as I began to wonder. Amaka shrugged it off taking it as nothing serious.

"Maybe she's just busy."

"Nah, I've lived with her most of my life, nothing keeps her too busy enough to not call me or Ming." As much as she annoys me to the point where I want to kill her at times, she was like a mother to me and she played her role with excellency... sometimes.

But maybe she really was just busy.

"But maybe you're right." I shrugged it off too, keeping the thought in the back of mind. I wasn't going to call her either anyway.

I walked back to the living room to see Summer eating the chips I kept on the table. She put it back down immediately she saw me and pretended to be doing nothing but she'd already been caught.

"Why you sneaky little pregnant punani." I squinted my eyes at her as she slowly chewed what was left of the chips she stuffed in her mouth. "Amala, your girlfriend is eating my chips."

"Yeah well she's pregnant, you're not. Justified." She shrugged as she came put with another bowl of chips, handing them to Summer and sitting next to her, pecking her cheek.

"Oooooh, okayy. So its like that now isn't it." I stumped over to them and took the fresh bowl, leaving the other one there even though they were exactly the same.

"Onika, I'm sincerely telling you this as friend... You got problems." Amala chuckled.

"Shut it Zandile." I laughed too. Soon enough our laughter was ruined by the sound of ringing. Summer's phone was synced to the TV, which was what we were currently using to watch a movie and Danica just facetimed her. She picked up the call and Danica's face popped up on the large screen.

"You finally remembered us." I fake gasped.

"No time for games Onika. Things are going horribly wrong." Her face instantly fell as her voice began to crack. A worried expression pasted on my face permanently as my heart rate sped up.

"What's wrong?."

"The mission is crashing. They went to the party on the 27th and surprisingly he knew they were coming for him before time. He'd hacked into Ari's phone and read most of our plans." Shit!. "There was a fight yesterday between them and his men, he held AG captive and we both know that soft girl can't do a lot physically, she tried everything she knows but I don't know if the niggas uses voodoo or shit, he countered every move we tried. Robyn got injured and so did Ariana. Luckily Robyn sustained a minor injury and is healing quickly but Ariana on the other hand.." Her voice began to trail off. If anything happens to my best friend!. "And the icing on the cake, Matthew's asking about his secretary. Apparently he's stuck on her. He's going to find our move very soon."

"I'm going to Montego Bay."

"Don't. It'll only make things worse-"

"Then I'm coming back to Atlanta. I can't just sit here and watch everything we've worked for go down the drain. Its either I go to where they are and help them take out this motherfucker or I come back and help you dead any suspicions he might have."

"None of that's going to work Nika. Look at this from a smart perspective, I sent three people there, those three people have qualities perfect for the mission and they couldn't do it even Ty. If you go there, I'm sorry but, I'm not sure there's going to be any difference. Plus he's a very smart guy, he'll know something's fishy instantly. And if you come back to Atlanta that's not even going to help, he wants his secretary not you. He wants to know why she left." She had some point though. "You still talk to Bey?."

"Well... Yeah.."

"Okay. Now what you're going to do for me is stay off any thing that has to do with the Knowles. I know I've told you this before and you didn't listen but right now I need you to. Don't keep any kind of contact with her, don't even text her."

"Wait, how does me not talking to her help you get rid of his suspicions?."

"Onika just listen to me!. If you don't talk to her it makes him not want to ask about Summer, he knows you know Summer through who?, Beyoncé. If you didn't know she's a daddy's girl she tells him everything. When you don't talk to her she's going to be pissed off and not want to speak about anything concerning you." Kinda made sense. "Onika I'm feeling useless here. Everything I've planned isn't going the way its supposed to. The least you could do right now to help is do as you're supposed to, please." Her words sunk deep into my soul. Danica was never one to show her emotions even as much as saying a genuine 'aww' let alone feeling useless. Things were really crashing down. She considered me her daughter and best friend. All she wanted from me was to listen to me for once and for the first time, I was going to. I nodded, letting her know I would.

"Okay." I bit the inside of my cheek and avoided looking at her face even if it was through a screen.

"Alright. I gotta go now, I'll make sure to let you know if there's any progress or if I eventually need you to head to Montego. Tell Ming I say hi." And with that the line went dead just like my insides. The TV went back to its normal state but I didn't. Danica was clearly not doing okay and neither was the rest of us. Amala and Summer looked at me in search of any emotion but I just broke down in their arms.
