Aaliyah

1 month later...

I sighed as I walked through the lobby of Makaveli Records. I haven't heard from Pac in the last month. After that day when I said fuck him he hasn't called nor came by to see me.

I mean I just wanna know what's up, because I'm too old to be playing these kiddie games with him. I mean if he wants to end us then he's a very real person so he needs to sit me down and talk to me about how he's been feeling.

I walked into the studio and he was no where to be found there either. I ran my hands through my hair before walking out of his studio. I hope that he's no where near Suge's selfish ass.

I hopped back into my car and sped off home. I walked into my house and turned around to lock my door back.

After I finished that I turned back around and got scared by Tupac.

He was standing there with his arms folded, like he was waiting for me or something. "Pac!" I squealed out.

I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, "I'm so glad to see you."

He moved out of my grip. I shook it off and plopped down onto my couch, "So what's up? Why you here if I can't even touch you?" I asked crossing my arms kind of annoyed now.

"You know I'm sick of this..." He finally spoke up.

"Sick of what?" I questioned.

"Us."

I scoffed, "And why is that? Was I too good? Did I care too much?"

"Look I don't got time for this okay? It's just time to say goodbye."

I shook my head and took a deep breath, "Okay."

"Bye Aaliyah."

"Yeah bye Tupac."

"I just wanna thank you for everything, ya know that chu did for a nigga. I'll always be grateful towards you."

I nodded and stood up and walked up to him. "I'll always be grateful towards you too Pac."

He smiled at me. I smiled back, he pulled me close to him and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed back, rubbing his bald head slowly he has me so confused.

I broke our kiss and grabbed his hand, leading the way to my front door, "So this is goodbye huh?" I asked.

"Yeah, but i'll always be thinkin of you Liyah."

"Well goodbye Tupac." I opened the door wide enough for him to leave out.

He walked passed me with his head hanging low. I quickly shut it after he was fully outside. I knew that he was still standing there, so I put my hand up to the door. I smiled as I felt warm inside, because he put his hand back up to mine.

His hand was soon gone, I dropped my hand down and locked my door. I went upstairs to the window and saw him making out with some girl. She was my complexion and she had straight black hair, also like me. I shook my head and smiled once more until she turned around...

My smile quickly dropped, it was Kidada, my so called best friend was French kissing my now ex boyfriend outside my house.

Whatever I wish them both the best, I guess I hope she can deal with somebody trying to kill her boyfriend...

I watched her get into the car with him and drive off. She can enjoy him for at least a good 9 months tops, maybe even less. I shrugged and went into my bedroom and grabbed my journal and started on my new song.

I hope he doesn't think that sense he isn't mine anymore that I'm not gonna be looking out for him. I still care about him and appreciate all the good times and the bad, because it made us stronger. I'm still gonna support Makaveli Records I hope that we can still have a good friendship, I'll always love that man...

"Aaliyah? Aaliyah? Liyah wake up!"

I shot up and saw my hairstylist Maleia standing over me, "Maleia? What are you doing here?"

"You have work today silly."

"Yeah, but it's not your job to..." I paused.

She sighed, "Liyah, Pac's dating Kidada now..."

"I know that already Maleia." I waved my hand.

"And, he's getting rid of Makaveli Records, and he's taking the outlawz..."

"Where is he going to?"

"Back to Deathrow..."

"What? No Suge's gonna kill him."

"They talked it out Liyah. Baby girl he's outing you. I'm sorry..."

I shook my head in disbelief...

"I'm sorry babygirl..."

"No it's fine." I assured her standing up. "Maybe this is for the best. I always wanted to get away from the shitlawz anyways."

She started giggling and so did I, "Goodbye Makaveli Records." I said.

"And goodbye Tupac." She added as she stood up as well.

"Goodbye Tupac." I fake smiled.

"Aw come here." We hugged.

As much as I hate to say it, but she was right it's time to say goodbye to him and everybody associated with him. He didn't see the good in me so fuck it, I'm staying strong, because I don't feel a reason to cry over our relationship, I'm just worried about him being near Suge.

I broke the hug and looked at her face and smiled, "Let's go out."

"What about your music career Liyah?"

"I'll get signed somewhere else. Besides, I'm still a model, actress, and dancer."

"Don't forget singer."

I nodded and smiled, "Yeah and singer." I added.

"So where do you wanna go out to?" She asked changing subjects.

"Um let's go to Paula's Pasta."

"Oh snap, okay then Liyah get yo purse and come on."

"I gotta take a shower first girl. I giggled. "Just go wait for me downstairs okay?"

"Okay girl." She grabbed my keys and ran downstairs, looking like a happy little kid.

I giggled and shook my head, I grabbed some clothes and my soap and tooth brush and rushed into the bathroom. I needed to get the fuck outta there. I felt like a piece of him was still lingering here and I couldn't take the feeling.

After I got dressed into my classy outfit for the evening, MM.) I came up to my mirror and smiled. Then I rushed outside and got into my car with Maleia....
