Dre Day

Back On Tour

February 1989

Dre POV

It's been a month since Tyree had passed and ever since then, I've taken a different approach to life in general. No matter what happens now I'm gonna make sure that I focus back on my music. I figured it was best for me to stay home for a while thanks to advice from T.A since the guys were doing their thing on the tour. But hopefully I'm gonna come back on it now after that whole drama and show the fans that Dre is as strong as ever. 

I also received plenty of postcards from fans across the country about Tyree's death and offering their condolences, and I gotta say, I was fucking happy that the fans showed support for this tough time. My mind also went back to Jade. I wonder how she was doing with the rest of the guys since I left to go back home. I just hope she was safe cause I'm finna go back on the tour once again. Jade has been offering me the best support and I'm so glad to have a girlfriend like her.

There were still plenty of questions about the guys who did Tyree's death I mean. T.A said he knew who they were but he didn't tell me their names. It might be Jade's ex but who knows. If it was boy I would lit his ass up for what he done to me and my family. I wonder if he did it to jeopardize my relationship with Jade. 

"Stay safe Andre!" My mother said before she gave me a hug. I kissed her on her forehead before I broke away from her embrace. 

"I will mama and one day I'm finna get you out of Compton real soon." I said and she smiled before she gave me another hug. 

"Thank you son. Do Tyree proud!" 

I just nodded before I pulled away. I then went out the house and closed the front door behind me before heading off to T.A's car once again. 

"So nigga. It's good you are coming back on tour once again. Show the fans how strong you are." he said driving to LAX airport. 

"Thanks man!" I said and smiled. It's what I gotta do after all. Show the fans that I appreciate what they do and how they support me. 

"Yeah that's right nigga. I just hope you kill the tour performance and Jade I almost forgot about her!" T.A said as we approached the intersection that just headed towards the airport. That was something I gotta do though. Make sure that Jade is safe and protected at all costs. 

"Yeah man! It's just I have so much to tell her. My three kids and they baby mamma's its all too much shit going on right now!" I said frowning at the thought. That was something I completely forgot to tell her and I wonder how she will react. Damn! I feel that shit is gonna end our relationship and I don't want that to happen. Jade is a special girl. One that is not like my ex girlfriends at all and not as obnoxious as them. Not using me for money too. 

"Look nigga. The sooner you tell her the better. That's all I can say. I ain't no love doctor specialist or anything but if you tell her sooner she bound to accept it. No point telling her later when y'all deep in the relationship. I mean nigga I'd hate to deliver the news about you being dead if Eric found out about you playing with her heart." T.A said seriously and I gulped remembering Eric's words at the studio session that very day.

Don't fuck up!

I was snapped form my thoughts when I saw the signs of LAX airport. Then I walked out of the car and headed on to the departure terminals. T.A waved me off before he went back to Los Angeles and I was on my own reuniting with the guys back in Houston for the final leg of the tour. 

On the flight to Houston, Texas

I was chilling on the plane just reading some magazines that the air hostesses provided me with. I was sat next to a girl with beautiful black hair and fair skin. Her eyes were hazel and she looked breathtaking. Wait a minute! Dre! You got Jade! Slow down!  My mind went back to reality as I focused back on the magazine looking down in embarrassment.
