A Walking Nightmare

there was a girl named onika (pt1)

Growing up life was never kind to Onika, she didn't know who her father was and her mom lived off of all types of drugs there was. She loved the high more than she loved her own daughter. On the days she was so high, she could barely recognise her own child. Leaving Onika to fend for herself at tender age of six years old. Onika had to learn to feed herself, living off of uncooked noodles and snacks until the day her beat friend Lauren found out and told her momma who then made it her job to feed, clothes and care for the girl.

Despite all that, Onika never felt the love a mother should have for her child. If Carol wasn't doing the disappearing acts with her boy toys, she was at home passed out into oblivion. So as she got older, Onika vowed her life will be different than what she was dealt with. With that promise, she worked hard, using her brain and hard working persona and finished high school. Getting into college was hard due to tuition fees but she got herself jobs, working two jobs to be able to afford tuition fees and even though Lauren's mom was kind enough to offer to pay for her, Onika didn't want to burden the woman, who was already struggling herself as a single mother trying to pay for Lauren's fashion school.

Eventually Onika made it, graduated top of her class, getting into the top, best meds school in the city. Along the way remembering the promise she made herself. To work hard but also be present in the lives of her future children, give them everything she never had. Onika would kill or be killed, before she lets anyone lay a hand on her blood.

As she lays here, in a pool of her own blood her ears ringing loudly yet the voices around her seeming so far away. Onika couldn't help but think she had failed in her promises.

'I'm sorry little bear, please forgive me'  she thought as her eyes began to slowly drop

"ONIKA!"

The voice sounded so far away and Onika turned her head from where she was laying (pretty sure the carpet was painted red now) and saw feet running toward her

"Baby please stay with me!"

'Malik' Onika wasn't sure if she had said it out or thought it but as the world begun turning dark, Beyoncé's panicking voice also began fading. The last thing she heard before passing out was her wife's desperate cry for her

"ONIKA!"

— TWO DAYS AGO —

Onika's eyes slowly opened into a brand new day. As she comes into focus, she was greeted by her wife's sleeping face. Onika's eyes traced every inch of the blonde's peaceful sleeping face, she watched each freckle that lined her wife's face. Slowly her finger traced against the smooth skin, passed the slightly parted full lips to her chin before drawing back. Onika leaned forward and pressed a light kiss against Beyoncé's lips and the blonde reacted instantly kissing back without thoughts. The kiss slowly falling into deep embrace, Beyoncé hums in content making Onika giggle a little. Her eyes instantly flashed open at the sound meeting her wife's

"Morning..." Beyoncé's deep voice full of sleep spoke blinking a few times to rid the tiredness away

"Morning baby" Onika replies softly

A comfortable silence then befell between them as the two laid there taking each other in, after a moment Onika drew in a breath before speaking

"I think we need to have a chat with Ally—, I mean Stefani"

Beyoncé sighs glancing away for a split second when she felt Onika pull her face back to look at her, cupping her face gently and holding her in place

"She's got this grudge she's holding against you and she won't move on unless you two sit down and give her the closure she needs"

Beyoncé closed her eyes taking a deep breath. She never thought Stefani could ever walk back into her life but she did always wonder if the blonde ever did show up, how would she deal with it. So yeah Onika was right, Beyoncé owned the other woman an apology and she knows it'll won't fix anything but at least it'll be out of her conscious
