~Rihanna~

When the plane finally landed on the runway of the LAX airport, I was more than relieved to be back. I was still feeling down about Drake but that was all about to change, no matter how hard he tried to push me away, I'm going to always come back. Mel and Jenna knew exactly what my intentions where and they were not at all pleased about it. I paid them no mind, I had to see Drake. It was a sudden urge of adrenalin that pumped me up enough to gather this much courage. Around this time, I knew he was going to be at the studio, I was getting a little anxious as the airplane approached the gate. I was ready to get off of here, get my luggage and make the driver take me to his studio. I already had a seperate car for Mel and Jenna so they did not have to tag along. 

As soon as the unfasten seatbelt came on, I immediately leaped out my chair. Luckily we were in first class and the first to get off. I bit my lower lip softly feeling my anxiousness turn into anxiety. It's been almost a year or so since Drake and I have seen each other pretaining to the break up. All we do now is talk on and off and when we do talk, we argue. I took a deep breath and felt Jenna lightly rub my back. 

"Calm down Ri, he's not going anywhere. You'll make it to his studio before he leaves" She told me with a reassuring smile. I nodded and smiled back. I was feeling all worked up for nothing. I then turned to watch the flight attendant open the plane door and I walked out without looking back. I felt myself walking faster than ever through the parking lot trying to get to the baggage claim. The carousel was already running from the flight I just got off of, I was going to need some help with my luggage so I called the driver. 

"Hey, are you already outside?"

"Yes ma'am I am"

"Great, could you help me with my luggae, I have quite the load"

"No problem ma'am. I'll be right there" I ended the call and took off two of my bags from the carousel. A few seconds later, the driver came in and took them away. I had about 5 more to go but with his help, it went by rather fast. 

"What is your next destination ma'am?" The driver asked as he took the last of my bags. 

"I need to visit a friend, here's the address" I showed him my phone and took a quick glance at it. 

"Very well then, off we go" He said as he packed my luggae into the trunk of the car as well as some in the backseats. I got into the passengers side in the front and he got in after me. The car ride there made me nervouse more and more as we got closer. My anxiety was coming back but I imagined Jenna once again rubbing my back for comfort and I was able to calm down. The driver pulled up to a building I knew so well but haven't been back to in awhile. 

"I'll be out here waiting for your return ma'am, take your time"

"Thank you so much" I said as I got out of the car. "Just park across the street in the parking lot so you won't get a ticket" He nodded in agreement and pulled off. I then, entered the building and instead of using the elevator, I took the stairs. A couple of minutes went by before I reached the door of his studio, I took another deep breath and knocked on the door. 

"Who is it?" His voice rang through my ears. 

"It's me, Rihanna" I said. He went silent for a moment before unlocking and opening the door. 

"Wel this is a surprise" He said but the tone of his voice was a bit off

"Wel this is a surprise" He said but the tone of his voice was a bit off. It wasn't very welcoming like it used to be. 

"I'm sorry for showing up unexpected but I didn't think you were going to answer the phone or text message" I said trying not to look at him. That was until I heard a woman's voice. 

"Drake, who is it?" I immediately turned my head to see who she was and to my not surprise, it was the girl from the photo Travis sent to me. My heart once again fell and shattered. My words were stuck in my throat and I was unable to speak. I just froze in place.

"Oh hello, wait, you're RIHANNA! OMG! I love all your music!" She began fan girling but I just wanted to punch the bitch in the mouth just to shut her up. I forced a smile on my face and nodded.

"Yes that's me, and you are?"

"I'm Layla, I'm just a friend of Drake's, we met the other night" 

"I see..." My voice trailed off and my eyes focused from her to Drake. 

"Hey Layla, could you give me a couple of minutes?" He asked her and she just nodded without a second to spare. He kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the studio with me while closing the door behind him. 

"So she's just a friend Drake?" I asked trying not to get angry. 

"Yes, she is. Don't get a jealous now. We aren't together you know" 

He hit it where it hurt the most and I wanted to slap the shit out of him but I reamined cool. "I know but, you know how I feel about you. Those feelings never changed nor did they go away"

"Ri, I know that, neither have mine." He said trying to reassure me but for some reason I didn't want to believe his words. 

"Then why continue to push me away ad hurt me more and more

"Then why continue to push me away ad hurt me more and more...I love you Drake. I need you" I said trying to fight back my tears. He immediately pulled me into an embracing hug while leaning his forehead on mine. 

"I do not want to keep repeating this cycle with you. You aren't the only one hurt here Ri.....I love you too but I need to love you from a distance. Otherwise, I'm going to lose my love for you if we keep going like this" 

No matter what he said to me, it cut me like a knife. His words were hurtful but true. Maybe I was holding onto something that was long gone when we decided to go our seperate ways. We looked into each other's eyes and couldn't help but kiss one another passtionately. It was a long one and we couldn't let one another go until Layla came out of the studio. 

"Drake, it's been more than five minutes" She said with a laugh. "I'm getting bored" She walked over to him and looped her arm around hers. 

"Alright, I'm coming" He said without even looking her way. 

"I have to anyways, I've got a busy day tomorrow. It was nice seeing you again Drake, and nice meeting you Layla" I waved goodbye to them both and turned to walk down the hall towards the exit. I didn't look back but I knew he couldn't stop watching me walk away, like I did the night we broke up.
