As the lights in the room changed to a darker blue and the sound coming from the speakers got softer, Aaliyah could tell that this song was going to be different from the four he just played before, making her emotions run wild.

It was already toying with her because she could feel him looking right at her like he wanted to say something and didn't.

She didn't want to look back at him because she felt like she was already emotional as it was already.

She's just been emotional for the past few days and this wasn't making it any better.

She started to question her being here in this place altogether.

'I don't wanna go there... We should never go there...Damn, Why you wanna go there?... I guess I gotta go there'

'You're hearing rumours about me... And you can't sto-mach the thought... Of some one touchi-ing my body... When you're so close to my heart."

" I won't deny what they saying... Because most of it is true..."

And once Aaliyah heard that everything in her mind was confirmed.

Yes, he was talking about her, and Yes. He did Cheat on her.

She felt her heart drop as she looked over to Chris, who stared right back at her like he had no emotions in the world.

Everything else became a blur for her, she felt like she had to throw up, feeling like her lungs where collapsing, or like she got stabbing in her throat.

She didn't know what to feel.

'Please don't judge me And I won't judge you. And if you love me, then let it be beautiful.'

Aaliyah continued to look at Chris as she listen to the lyrics.

'Everything I say right now Is gonna be used in another fight. And I've been through this so many times. Can we change the subject? You gonna start asking me questions like "Was she attractive? Was she an actress?" Baby, the fact is.'

Almost aligning perfectly with the argument that they had before she decided to leave. Making her feel worst in a way.

But he never deny anything.

"It's just a song." Chris said to her grabbing her hand as she yanked away.

'You're hearing rumours about me- And saw some pictures online. Saying they got you so angry- Making you wish you were blind.'

'Before we start talking crazy. Saying some things we'll regret. Can we just slow it down and press reset.'

Aaliyah hurriedly got up and tried to find her way to the nearest bathroom.

Everything that she ate and drunk at this event was finally getting to her, definitely with her emotions being all over the place.

And once you got to her destination, everything came up to the surface. 

"Fuck." Aaliyah curse to herself, feeling most vulnerable right now.
