  Nicki went to work so, I'm here by myself but I'm use to solitude, I sit in the bay window in the room Nicki let me sleep in, I watch as the rain drops ran down the window I think back to my childhood and smile, but my smile quickly fades away because I'll have to testify against Master and that's a pill I don't want to swallow, Master won't want me to testify I feel something wet fall on my shirt, I look at my reflection in the window and I dry my tears and focus back on the rain drops
"Beyoncé I'm back" Nicki came in to the room
"H-Hi" she came and sat down with me
"You want to talk about it"
"N-No"
"Ok but you might, want to get in touch with your family, and let them know that you're doing good"
"O-ok"
"Are you hungry" her head turned as she looked at me for an answer
"I-I already ate"
"Ok" she got up and left the room

   I woke up in a cold sweat, I got up going to the kitchen to get some water, then I seen a light coming from the living room and I walk to it, i peer around the corner see Nicki watching tv, I walked in and she looked at me
"Hey" she patted a seat next to her, and I sit down
"So what's up, why you up this early"
"I-I had a bad dream"
"I understand"
"S-so what are you, watching" I seen nice cars and the background kept switching
"Oh this is a music video, for my song Favorite featuring Jeremih"
"O-oh so your a recording artist"
"Yeah something like that"
"C-can you tell me what the song is about"
"Well it's about dropping,everything for that one person that makes your heart smile, when you see them it's like teenage love"
"Y-you can really rap"
"Thank you" she smiled
"Y-your welcome"
"I want to take you somewhere"
"R-really"
"Yeah"
"I-I'll have to go t-to my house for clothes"
"Ok we'll go by there"
"O-ok" I smile looking down at my feet
"Your smile is beautiful" she has me blushing, and that's something that I haven't done in years
"Thank you" I've been struggling with my speech and It makes me feel illiterate, and I don't like holding conversations with people
"Well let's get you back to bed beautiful" she walked me to my room and kissed my forehead and watched me go in

Onika

"I know Candice" I switch into the turning lane in traffic
"But Nic Nac she might be borderline crazy, and Your "I thrust everybody faceass" your ass might end up on Cold Case, or First 48"
"Candi chill"
"I'm going to have to make funeral arrangements" she said as she pinched the bridge of her nose
"CANDICE!"
"WHAT!"
"Stop saying stupid stuff" we walked into the restaurant

Beyoncé

I lay in the middle of the floor, staring up at the ceiling playing connect the dots with it, thinking about how I made Master cry for the first time and then I start to sing
"We build sand castles
That washed away
I made you cry
When I walked away, ooh
And although I promised
That I couldn't stay, babe
Every promise don't work out that way, oh babe
Every promise don't work out that way

Dishes smashed on my counter
From our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch I scratched out your name
And your face
What is it about you?
That I can't erase, baby
When every promise don't work out that way
No no oh baby
When every promise don't work out that way

And your heart is broken
Cause I walked away
Show me your scars
And I won't walk away, Ooh
And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, bay... baby
Every promise don't work out that way, no no no no no
Every promise don't work out that"
The door creeks, and I shoot up
"That was beautiful bey"
"T-thank you but how much did you hear"
"Everything" she chuckled and then came to lay next to me on the floor
