A Mindless Ride (A MB, OMG, LM love story) [Book 1]

8. Was it meant to be?

Chapter 8

★Zonnique's POV★

   I was so happy when Ray suggested that we try something to keep us safe. I just don't know what the plan is going to be. Oh well. I can't spend anymore time right now. I've been spacing out enough for today's practice.

“Okay! That was great! Now the show is in like 2 days so we're gonna rehearse vocals tomorrow. Be here tomorrow at 9 AM sharp so we can start. So that means getting to bed early tonight to be able to wake up early tomorrow morning." Kiesha informed us. How the heck did she expect me to go to bed early tonight? On a Monday of all nights! I have Family Hustle tonight! (I'm not sure if the show is live or not but in this book, its live. correct me if I'm wrong). Wait! I'll just tell my mom that I can't be apart of the show tonight. I'll just be apart of part of it and go to bed about an hour into the show.

“Nique, I know you have Family Hustle but do you think you could not be apart of it tonight?" Kiesha asked.

“Yeah, sure. I'll let my mom know." Hopefully, she will understand.

“Good. Alright, that's all for today. Go home and get some rest."

<Skipping to home>

   So I got home about 15 minutes later. My mom and Tip (T.I.) were watching TV. They never go anywhere without each other. Except for when Tip goes to the studio and when one goes to the bathroom. I'm just gonna say it.

“Hey guys. I have something to yell you," I said it all monotone so I wouldn't give the wrong impression.

“Ok. Go ahead." Tip spoke for the two of them. They stopped watching the TV to hear what I had to say.

“Ok. So you guys know that I have a show in 2 days. Well, tomorrow we're gonna be working on our vocals and I know that we have Family Hustle to do tonight, but I can't be apart of it. Because we have to be at the studio at 9 AM sharp so I need to get a good night rest." I had no idea how they would react. I felt a mix of emotions: happy, sad, guilty, and scared.

“That's fine honey. Get to bed by 10 tonight and wake up by 7:45 tomorrow morning and you'll be fine." I was happy they understood. They went back to watching whatever it was that they were watching and I went up to my room. Then my phone rang. It was Ray.

Me: Hey Ray. Wassup?

Ray: Hey. Nothing. How'd they take it?

Me: They're fine with it.

Ray: Cool. So I was thinking about what happened at the mall the other day and well, I think you're right. And I know I said we could think of something to do to help protect us or whatever but...

Me: Ray, I understand. So I guess this is goodbye?

Ray: I guess. But we can still be friends right?

Me: Most definately! And hey?

Ray: What?

Me: A little heads up. Chloe might be there tomorrow and she has a huge crush on you so you might have a new girlfriend tomorrow.

Ray: Ha! Thanks. See ya tomorrow Nique.

Me: KK.

   Then I hung up and dialed Bahja's number. Luckily she answered.

Bahja: Hey Nique. What's up?

Me: Hey. I have to tell you something.

Bahja: Why are you crying?

Me: Because... Ray and I just broke up!

   At this time, I was crying uncontrollably. I couldn't help it. I loved him so much and I still do. And even though I was the first one to suggest breaking up, I didn't think it would actually happen.

Bahja: Oh my gosh. I'm sorry. I'm coming over. I'll be there in 5 minutes.

Me: Ok. Bring ice-cream.

Bee: Ok.

   I hung up. I heard a knock on the door.

???: Zonnique, its Dahja.

Me: Come in!

   I was still on my bed crying.

Dahja: I heard the phone convo with Bahja. Are you okay?

Me: I think so. Mom, you can come in now.

Tameka: How'd you know I was listening?

Me: Really?

Tameka: Ok. I'm sorry honey. I know how much you love him.

???: Zonnique! I'm here!

Me: Hey Bahja.

Bahja: Wow. News spreads fast in this house.

Dahja: We're the only ones who know.

Bahja: Ok. I brought ice-cream.

Me: Yay! Guys, can we talk tomorrow instead of now?

Tameka and Dahja: Yeah sure.

   Then they left. Bahja and I stayed up for about an hour and I half talking, eating ice-cream, and watching South Park on my TV.When South Park ended, it was 10:05. We went to bed a little after that.
