Aubrey -

When I got home I poured myself several bottles of Hennessy. I sat down on my couch staring at pictures of me and Nicki. I kept asking myself why? What did I do to deserve this shit?

I gave this girl my everything, my all, and she fucked me over. I picked up my phone and called her number. She picked up and I took a deep breath.

"Look, I got some things I need to say to you, i can't believe you did this shit to me. But fuck you and fuck that nigga that you love so well cause he can't do you like I did and you most definitely gone regret doing me dirty," I slurred.

"Aubrey are you drunk right now?" She asked. "Fuck you and fuck that nigga," I said as I hung up. I slammed my phone down and grabbed the bottle of Hennessy. My phone began to ring and I saw that it was Nicki calling so I decline her call and blocked her number.

Out of anger I threw the bottle across the hall. I grabbed the pictures of me and Nicki and threw them in my fire place.

I went in my room and grabbed her shoes, her clothes, her jewelry, everything that belonged to Nicki I threw them outside and poured bleached all over them along with gasoline.

I grabbed some matches and put her clothes on fire. I sat down and stared at the fire. I watched as it burned down. The fire was a resemblance of the love that I had for her.

Once before it was lit. It was a full flame of my undying love, but now, now the fire was out, and all the love I had for her was gone. There was no more Aub and Nick. We was threw.

After the fire went out I went back inside the house, I cleaned up and grabbed my body wash for a shower. Right before showering, I saved Melissa's number in my phone.

I hopped in the shower and washed my body down. Once I got out I dried off and threw on a pair of boxers and a pair of shorts. I walked inside my room and placed my phone on charge.

I laid down and turned on the tv. Of course Love and Basketball our favorite movie was on. I changed the channel and poetic justice was on. I turned the tv off and grabbed the weights off from under my bed.

As lifted weights I thought about how I was going to pay Nicki back for the shit that she'd done to me. I thought about how I was going to make her hurt. I thought about how I wanted to see her crying.

I didn't know how I was going to do it but when I seen the opportunity, I was going to go for it. Most definitely. Payback was a bitch and Nicki most definitely was going to feel my pain.

Rihanna -

"Nicki I can't believe what you did to Aubrey, he loved the hell out of you," I replied as I got under the covers with Nicki.

She had called me crying and I had to come over and check up on my girl. Yes I was mad at her for what she did but Nicki was my best friend no matter what she did, and I had to be here for her.

"Nicki he loved the hell out of you, I mean come on would you just look at Aubrey and look at Robert, Aubrey is fine as hell, Robert ugly as shit," Beyoncé said as she handed me the bowl of pop corn.

"I know I know, but it's not even about looks, Aubrey will always have my heart, it's just when I'm with Meek, I get more. He shows me more than what Aubrey has shown me," Nicki replied.

"Who the fuck is Meek?" I asked as I popped some pop corn in my mouth.

"Robert, that's his nickname," Nicki smiled. "Ew. Ghetto ass bay bay kid, that's worse than Ray Ray," I replied as me and Beyoncé laughed.

"Look Nicki all I'm saying is you need to go to Aubrey and talk to him, you need to tell him what's up, be real, be honest with him and maybe he will accept your apology, maybe not," I replied.

"Yeah I guess you're right," she replied. "So are you bringing him to the movies? We gotta ask Taraji and Jermaine to come with us Friday after J and Miguel's performance," Beyoncé replied.

"I don't know I mean I know Aubrey's going to show up and I don't want any more drama to show up," Nicki replied.

"You bringing Kendrick right Rih?" Beyoncé asked. I honestly couldn't answer the question. Lately me and Kendrick had been distance. In front of everybody else we seemed like the perfect couple but we were honestly drifting apart.

Kendrick was getting deeper into his music, and focusing on taking care of his mother until the point that we really had no us time. I was honestly growing tired of not being able to spend time with my man.

Everybody else was going to things with their man but I had to wait, or I had to be pushed to the side like I was the side bitch. I needed somebody who would treat me right.

That's why I couldn't understand how Nicki was treating Aubrey the way she was treating him. Aubrey was a good man and he treated Nicki like a queen, while she treated him like dirt.

I honestly didn't know how long I could wait for Kendrick. I mean loved him with all my heart but I had needs too. I wanted to be booed up, not somewhere lonely.

"Uh yeah duh he's coming," I lied as I reached for the remote. "Good, so everybody will be at the movies, hopefully this event goes well with no drama," Beyoncé replied.

"Yeah hopefully," Nicki sighed. "Robyn are you still going to talk to Aubrey for me please please pleaseeeeee," she whined.

"Ugh, I guess Onika but bitch you owe me big time," I replied as I grabbed my phone. "Thank you thank you thank you," she cheered as she kissed my cheek.

I sent Aubrey a text as I wiped her wet kisses off my face. Hey, how are you?

Aub: I'm good, wbu?

I'm okay, I was wondering I we could talk.

Aub: sure, how about tomorrow?

Tomorrow sounds good :)

Aub: :)❤️
