Taraji -

We finally pulled into the parking lot of my school and I didn't want to be here. I just wanted to go back home, it was too much going on, too much for me to be worried about to be here by myself. I mean how in the hell was I going to be able to study while thinking about Miguel, as well as Jermaine's safety?

My momma parked and turned the car off. I unbuckled my seatbelt, while Jermaine got out and momma popped open the trunk. I got my key out and went to reach for my suitcase. "I got it babe," he said shooing me away.

"K," I replied as I went to give momma a hug and say my goodbyes. I went upstairs and went inside my dorm room. My roommate was leaving out for class when we walked in.

Jermaine sat my stuff down and waisted no time grabbing me by my waist and giving me a long lingering kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him several pecks.

"I love you," I mumbled. "I love you too," he said as he gripped my thighs. "You going to FaceTime me tonight?" I asked as we rubbed our noses together.

"Of course," he replied. "Baby please be safe, I don't think I would be able to go through what Beyoncé is going through right now, I don't want to even think about loosing you," I replied.

"You not gone loose me baby, I promise I'm gone check on Miguel every know and then keep you updated but I'm gone keep my head in my books I put that on everything babe," he promised.

"You better," I said as I tangled my hands in his. I instantly let go when I didn't feel his ring. "Baby where's your ring?" I asked.

"I took it off this morning in the shower I forgot," he said hesitant. "Well when you get back home are you going to put it back on?" I asked.

"Babe I forgot I didn't want to get it soaped up, but when I get home I'm going to put it on I'll even face time you to prove that I got it on," he smirked sarcastically.

"Yeah," I replied. My mind was rambling fast with different questions but I didn't bother to ask them. I didn't want to fight with him.

Just then his phone started buzzing. He pulled it out and I saw that it was momma calling him. "Yeah ma I'm on my way out, alright," he replied as he hung up.

"That's momma, I gotta go she wants me to drive back this time, but I'm gone call you when we make it back," he said as he pecked my lips.

"Okay love you," I replied. "Love you too," he replied. I sighed right before plopping down in my bed. I grabbed my phone and reached to call Beyoncé.

Of course she didn't answer and neither did Nicki, I left them both text messages right before putting my phone on the nightstand. I started unpacking my bags and then grabbing my things for my shower. I was beyond tired and couldn't wait to get some rest.

Kendrick -

"How did all this happen?" I asked Beyoncé as she sat down. She was helping me fix my mama's computer stand. She had came over to tell me something so drastically important.

"Kendrick, look I love you just as much as I love Aubrey and Jermaine. When something's going wrong I'm going to keep shit straight up with you, but you need to drop Rihanna she's a hoe, I mean she was my Bestfriend I still love her but she's fucked up in the head she's been doing the ultimate betrayal and she needs to bounce," Beyoncé replied.

"My Mama same the shit," I chuckled. "Well you need to listen to her, and you need to put her and Aubrey in check," she warned.

"Yo man what is you talking about Aubrey my dog he would never fuck around with my girl," I laughed.
