Same Day
New Orleans
Beyonce Knowles
"David..." I say through gritted teeth.
"Wrong. Try again Bey. I think you have me confused with my twin brother." he replies.
I mentally roll my eyes. "I don't have the patience for your bullshit right now David. Why are you calling my phone?" I ask, my irritation growing by the second.
"I didn't call YOUR phone Bey, I do believe this number belongs to that pretty wife of yours if I'm not mistaken." he says.
"Well what 's hers is mine, so again, what do you want?" I say, as the volume in my voice rises a few notches.
"Mmmmm I don't know, maybe I just wanted to speak to an old best friend, considering its been years since I've seen or spoken to you." He says. "My girlfriend just happened to mention that you were back in town, and I thought it would be a nice to surprise you at your seemingly booming place of business, only to find out that you've left the city again. Where did you go if you don't mind me asking?" He asks.
The tone in his voice comes across very cocky.
"Cut the bullshit David! We both know you know exactly where I am. I mean it was you that had me jumped and fucking raped by some random bitch made men, wasn't it? So for the last time, why the fuck are you calling me?!" I say, my irritation turning to anger.
I didn't realize I was shaking until Nicki grabbed my hand with hers. I looked up at her, and she gently kissed the back of my hand, before rubbing the area she kissed with her thumb.
"Calm down baby." she mouthed silently to me.
I nod my head and I close my eyes. After taking a deep breath in, I slowly exhale. My attention is directed towards the phone again, when I hear David laugh and shortly after, sigh before he speaks again.
"Damn Bey, you haven't changed at all. Your still as feisty as you were in high school." He says. "But I suppose I have Matthew to thank for that. If it wasn't for him beating you into submission, you would still be that weak little bitch that ran into me in the hallway on the first day of school. However...I think you settling down and marrying Onika is turning you back into a pussy. I mean you did let those 'random men' as you call them, play inside you. I'm a little disappointed that you weren't able to fight them off. The Bey I knew would've killed all of them right then and there. The problem though, is that I need that Bey for what I need you to do for me, and I feel the only way to get the old Bey back is to remove what's making you weak." He says, taking a brief pause. "I think I'll start with your friend Candi here."
I was about to respond to him, when I hear what sounded like a woman's scream of pain blare through the phone's speaker.
"Candi?!" I yell into the phone.
I hear his annoying laugh flood into the room from the other side of the phone.
"Nope, still David speaking." He replies.
I quickly jump out of the bed and I grab my laptop, pulling up the camera feed I have set up for the store.
When I have the feed up, I can feel my heart sink to my stomach.
I hear Nicki start to cry beside me, as we see Candi's arms being held back by two men. David is standing with his back facing in front of her with a freshly blood painted knife in one hand from the wound he just inflicted to Candi's side, and her phone in the other hand.
"Why are you doing this David? I have done nothing for you to hurt the people I love because of it! Just leave Candi out of it!" I scream into the phone, tears now escaping my eyes.
"Don't act like you don't know what you've done! Your just like Tina's hoe ass, always playing fucking stupid." He says. "But I already told you why she needs to go. Everyone that you love and care about needs to be removed from your life so that I can use you. What part of that didn't your dumb ass get the first time?!" He says.
His cool, calm, and collected facade is no longer showing. I could feel the venom in his words.
"Now I'm not going to tell you what my plans are for you just yet. I think I want to make you suffer a little bit more." He says. " But what I do want, is for you to bring those diamonds back to me." He says, twirling the knife in his hand.
My eyes narrow in confusion as I stare at him through the computer screen.
"So you're threatening to kill everyone that means something to me over some fucking diamonds, that if your memory is as good as you claim it is, YOU gave to me in the first fucking place. And now you just expect me to do what you want?" I ask him. "Your out of your fucking mind if you think I'm about to do anything you say." I say.
"I don't recall asking for your two sense Beyonce. Bring my fucking diamonds to me in the next 48 hours." He hisses into the phone. "Oh...one more thing. To keep you from getting any bright ideas..." He says turning around to look Candi in the face.
He reaches for the gun that I just realize is tucked in the back of his pants, and he turns his body to face the camera.
"I will put a fucking bullet straight through the skull of your wife's best friend if you try and pull some funny shit." He says pulling the safety down with his thumb, and pointing the gun at Candi's temple. "Thats a promise Beyonce...not a threat."
He looks directly into the camera before he ends the call. He points the gun towards the camera, and he pulls the trigger, cutting the camera feed.
"NO!" I scream at the now blank computer screen, with tears rapidly flowing now. I'm roughly pressing the keys on my keyboard, unsuccessfully trying to bring the camera feed back.
"Bey..." Nicki calls me. Her voice is hoarse from crying.
"I can fix this Nic! I can fix it!" I say continuing the assault on my computer keyboard.
"BEYONCE! JUST STOP!!" she yells tears coming down her face just as fast. "Fixing the camera feed is not what you should be worried about right now. He put a fucking gun to her HEAD Beyonce...a FUCKING GUN!" She says.
"YOU DON'T THINK I FUCKING KNOW THAT?!" I yell jumping up from my spot on the bed.
"FUCK!!" I scream, throwing my laptop across the room, watching it smash into pieces before it hits the floor.
"Bad shit is always fucking happening to me." I say, staring at the space on the wall my laptop just hit. "When this is all over, and I kill David, you won't have to worry about my bullshit anymore." I say, tearing my eyes from the wall and focusing them on Nicki.
"I promise..."

Hey Guys!! I know it's been a long time, and I'm sorry about that. I have a lot going on right now, but to make it up to you, I wrote two chapters for guys, so I hope you like them. Anyway, vote and comment.
Why do you think David is so upset with Bey?
Why do you think Tina's name was mentioned?
What do you think Bey meant when she told Nicki that she wouldn't have to worry about her when everything is over?
Until Next Time...
