Chapter 9

Theme Song: Coldplay - Fix You
Naomi's P.O.V.

One look at Morris and the memories started coming back. I looked through my bag, searching for the one thing that would numb my pain. I sniffed a small dosage, feeling the drugs enter my system. I know it's not right but I just can't stop. I just feel such a rush but yet a numbness. I heard a knock at the door so I immediately clean everything up, trying to fight my high. Bey and Selena came in and I could see the concern on their faces.

Selena's P.O.V.
Leave it to Morris to fuck up a perfect day. Naomi was doing so good until she saw his ass! Everyone has so much anger built up inside of them, including me. I want that bastard to feel every inch of my rage. I'm glad Bey knocked his ass out because I would've killed him. Bey and I walked into Naomi's dressing room and saw bottles of foundation scattered on her counter. Something is different about Naomi and I don't like it whatsoever. I'm gonna find out what it is if it kills me. "Naomi, what's with all of this?", I asked, gesturing towards the bottles that laid on her dresser. "It's the only way I can cover these hideous scars and bruises. I don't wanna see them.", she said, glancing at Bey and I. "I'll be out there in a minute.", she said in a cold voice that was unfamiliar to me.

Laurent's P.O.V.
Words non explain the hate and anger I feel toward Morris. She already go through enough and he make it even worse! I turn and see Monster and Selena but I non see Naomi. "Where is she?", I ask, still looking for her. "She's in her dressing room. Laurent, she's applying foundation to hide her scars. We know her, Lau. She's gonna make it seem like she's fine but she's far from it.", Selena said as tears fill her eyes. "At this point, she's very fragile. She needs all of us to be strong for her.", Monster said, hugging Sel. Suddenly, Naomi walk out with a forced smile. Selena's words made their mark and my heart ached for her because I know she hurting.

Sure enough, just as Selena say, Naomi had a smile on her face, trying to remain calm. However, I know her better than that. Larry call the cops and they came in and arrested him for what he had done. As much as I wanted to kill him, he non worth sitting in jail for first degree murder. "So, what happens now?", Naomi asked in a small voice. "He off to jail. You non have to worry about him non more, sis.", Larry said as he hug her. "How you feeling? Do you wanna go home?", I ask, looking in her eyes for an answer. "Baby, I'm fine. Being here with everyone helps me take my mind off everything.", she said with a smile. I cradled her face in my hands, gazing into her beautiful eyes. "Bebé, you non have to be brave for me. I here for you...we all are.", I say as I kiss her softly. "I know, baby. You mean the world to me....all of you do.", she said, gazing at everyone as we all hugged her.

Denzel plug his phone up, blasting Love Sex Magic by Ciara and Naomi and the girls begin dancing, going over choreography.

It so good seeing her dance again. I do whatever I can to help her. "Okii, same time this weekend!", I said as we all said our goodbyes. Naomi was mostly quiet as she laid in my lap. I just wish I could take every ounce of pain away from her. I love this woman with my heart and soul. I willing to do whatever it take to restore her happiness. "Bebé, can I ask you something and non tell me what you think I wanna hear.", I said, silently pleading with her. "Sure, baby.", she said softly. Suddenly, I saw them. Those beautiful, gorgeous light brown eyes gazed up at me. Words non ever explain how much I love this woman. "Bebé, are you okii? Non just tell me what you think I wanna hear.", I say softly as I gaze upon her beautiful face. She sat up as she laid her head on my chest. "Honestly, no. I'm not okay. I'm just trying to deal with it. So I just don't talk about it. I just cover it up. Seem like that's the best way to deal with everything.", she said softly. As I look into her eyes, I see so much hurt and pain. She non the same Naomi I once know. She need me now more than ever.
