"Mom-."

"No Aaliyah. You need to call that man. He's out here losing his mind, He done called me five times this morning asking me, Have I spoke to you. What the fuck happened?" My mom asked as I closed the room to the bathroom.

I was in Drake's LA house. He left me here, alone, giving me somewhere to stay until I got back on my feet.

He went to Toronto this morning, He had me drive him to his plane and told me he'd be back in a week, welcoming me to stay here and use whatever I needed.

I had to go back to my place later and my hotel just to round up the rest of my stuff.

"Not Mom, it was just a misunderstanding, me and Chris are just taking a break-."

"Did he cheat on you?-"

"No mom-."

"I knew that nigga couldn't keep his fucking dick-."

"Mom no, gosh stop," I said to her, rubbing my hands over my face. "We just- we moved too fast... Like, extremely fast. We just-, I decided that I needed a break." I told her, as confident as I could.

"Don't lie to me." My mom said. "He hurt you."

"Chris would never hurt me, Mom you know this. He was- he just- I don't know Mom damn." I said shaking my head. "I'll call him, later. I promise."

"I'll beat his ass. I love Joyce but I will beat her ass too over you." My mom said making me chuckle.

"No need ma, no need."

I talked to my mom for a couple more minutes until she eventually have to go to work.

Aub 😊

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that if you needed to go anywhere, you're free to use any car in the garage.
Your car will be there tomorrow morning. I'm sorry, but that's the earliest I can get it to you. The issue with your car was that it was a transmission leak. I took care of the expenses. Just be careful when you get it back. ❤️
Also, the housekeeper will be there about 10:30. She's going to cook and clean. She's also bringing an extra toothbrush for you.
I put some money in your account just for you to go get some things that you want today, some essentials.
But once I get back in town, we could go out and get some more, that if you're planning on staying with me for a while?

Thank you, Aubrey :).
I'm thinking about going to my place just to go get some of my clothes, and my hotel to pay the hotel bill.
And about the car you didn't have to. I was going to someone going to pick it up tomorrow but thank you again.
And if it's okay with you I will stay 🙂.

I have no problem with it Li.
I also have the housekeeper coming with some nearby condos. There's no rush getting you out of my place but I know you probably want your own place.
But again, there is no rush whatsoever.

I will take a look.
Thank you, againnnn.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chris ❤️

I'm alive.

Where are you?

I am alive.

Aaliyah, where are you so I can fucking come get you.
They found your car at a hotel

Incoming call from Chris ❤️

I rolled my eyes before answering.

"What?" I said to him immediately.

"Where are you Na'Jai, you think this shit is cool or funny?" Chris said back making me frown.

"What's funny? The fact that you cheated on me-."

He smacked his teeth. "Aaliyah, are you fucking serious- Why- Who would I cheat on you with? I didn't fuck Robyn, I swear to you-."

"So what where the text about?"

"She was talking about the studio, baby she just be wanting to stir shut up, she sees that we're happy, I'm happy with you and she wants to fuck it up," Chris claimed. "You can see that she texted me first, she sent the picture or the Instagram post. At first, I wasn't even communicating with her-."

"Chris just stop- I don't wanna hear it. I'll be home later to get some of my stuff." I said before hanging up.

"Chris I don't wanna hear that shit. Honestly. Like for real." I told him, trying to go into our bedroom. "Everything is there."

"What's there? Huh? Please don't tell me you're talking about them fucking rumors?" Chris said as I nodded my head in confirmation.

"I mean every radio station is talking about it- Chris Breezy back with RihRih? What happens to the Aaliyah girl?" Breezy and Rihanna at the Lakers games, Late Night Sessions with Chris Brown and Rihanna-." I mimicked shaking my head. "Your a piece of shit Chris, honestly," I told him, passing him to go into the room.

I looked around, seeing that everything was right where I left it, which would make sense since he had the extra blankets and pillows on the couch. "Has the couch been comfortable?" I asked him, walking inside the closet and grabbing the first suitcase I saw.

"Liyah are you seriously about to leave me, bro?" You not even tryna hear me out."

I scoffed. "Okay Chris, let's hear it. Explain the pictures on Instagram... The picture with you and her at her place, the pictures of yall at the Lakers game because I'm sure that was new, ya hair is blonde and you only had that for a year." I told him shaking my head.

"Li it was for the fans! To promote her and my albums-."

"You couldn't have found a better way?!"

"It wasn't my idea!" He stressed as I rolled my eyes.

"But you agreed to it," I said shaking my head and grabbing any and everything on my side of the closet.

"Li please." He said grabbing my clothes from out of the suitcase and forcing them back on the bar. "Why? Why are you doing all this-."

"Because Chris! You were supposed to love me!" I said throwing my clothes at him before walking up to him. "You were supposed to protect me, protect my feelings. And you fucking betrayed me."

"You have me thinking that you fucked someone else when it's supposed to just be me in the picture, no one else- definitely your fucking ex bro," I said shaking my head. "You're a piece of shit."

"Li I didn't fuck her. I promise you-."

"How! How am I supposed to just trust your fucking word, Chris? How?" I asked him, feeling myself being emotional.

"Because you should know me, those pictures happened before we got back together. I haven't messed with any females since we got together. Yes, I'm wrong about going to that fuckingg game. And yes I'm wrong about lying but I'm sorry." He said pulling me into a hug. "I'm fucking sorry Aaliyah." He said hugging me tighter, making me break down more.
