I looked around and sipped my tea when they started talking about another new subject
Samarah: "Aaliyah? Didn't Tupac cheat on you or somethin?"
This whole talk show she has been on my ass about Tupac and me I gripped the air closed my eyes and took deep breaths
Everyone laughed like cry laughed literally couldn't breathe including Lena
Samarah: "I guess the perfect relationship ain't so perfect.."
Her and Lena saw I was trying to calm down, they started to get nervous.
"YOU KNOW WHAT?!"
Everyone shot up and looked at me not saying.a.word
I turned at Samarah with a stank face with my finger in her face
"You've been on my ass ever since I got here lil girl, then to nerve to talk about me and Tupac? I should SNATCH yo ass up and drag you across this stage. Witcho dollar tree hair extensions"
Everyone "Ooh"d in surprise and fright
"But guess what? Therapy works y'all!"
They all applaud and laughed as I sipped my tea then lifted the mug in the air
"And that's the tea y'all! Alright!"
END OF TALK SHOW
Lemme talk to y'all real quick. Yes me and Tupac broke up, he cheated on me I think. Im not even sure he just broke up with me within air. I had anger issues but hired a private therapist.
"Can I get some apple juice please? Someone?"
Agent: "Right away ms.haughton" "Yes! Right away!"
I looked at myself in the mirror then sighed. My agent came back with a wine glass, poured the apple juice then stopped but I pointed to the glass for more.
"Alright that's good thank you. Lord please help me get through this"
I looked at my beeper and saw Hakeem texted "411"
"Hakeem? What's up, you've been beeping me all day" Hakeem: "No bull, your little "break out" all over the news girl"
"Look, I don't care. Aw was on my ass since I got here so it is what it is and I said what I said" Hakeem: "Ight, well I love ya bestie and see you tomorrow"
"Love you too" We hung up at the same time then I got another beep from a unknown person
I called the number, it rang a couple times then someone answered
"Hello? Who is this" ?: "We got yo lil boyfriend bitch, you got 24 hours to get 25k and we'll give you your orders through the beeper, we'll keep in touch"
I heard Tupac trying to yell in the background but his voice was too weak it sound like he was crying too
We were separated for about 4 and a half months. I'm not gonna lie that call had be worried so I called all our homies up to meet me at The Din

He came in lookin like Denzel Washington but just the feature of his walk, he had a salted Carmel skin color, chocolate chip brown eyes, a low fade haircut, and his style was cool
Emanuel: "Aye, what's up. Me and Hakeem go way back too we both from Milwaukee."
He shook my hand and we locked eyes together.
Hakeem: "Aye whatchu doin man?" Emanuel: " Just helping my friend"
I didn't even say anything I was so lost in his eyes but I snapped out of it and took my hand away. He pulled out his computer then started typing like crazy
Emanuel: "Alright, so looks like these muthafukas at the baptist church center on 43rd street?"
Hakeem: "What the hell are they doin there? Cuz fa damn sho they ain't doin gods work" Emanuel: "Aye, if y'all need some protection I can send my lil homies. Just say the word and it's on"
