first off i would like to apologize for the sudden inactiveness. ya girl has just been extremely busy with school and life and all that other good shit. another part of it is that i haven't had the motivation to write and didn't know how to continue and tbh still don't. when i publish chapters i want them to be something y'all will enjoy reading and i'll be happy with you guys reading.

ANYWAY, i hope y'all don't hate me and i can't promise to be back and uploading as often as i used to cause life is still hella busy lmao. but thank you to everyone who still reads and supports my writing. y'all are the best 💛

Chris' POV

Red and I finally finished talking after a good 2 hours. He ended up crashing on the couch and I thought it'd be good for me to sleep too.

So I got up, turned the TV and the lights off, and headed to back of the bus.

I slid my small bedroom door open to find Royalty knocked out in the middle of the bed. I chuckled to myself quietly as I made my way over to her.

I ended up tucking her under the covers as I laid down on the other side.

My mind wandered thinking about everything while I had my eyes closed. Nique, Royalty, the tour, my life.

But before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

Nique's POV

I stared at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. I look tired, and just drained honestly. Makeup didn't even hide that.

As much as I didn't wanna go to class, I had to. Especially since I've skipped 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I'm just surprised my professors haven't dropped me.

I headed out of my dorm, locked the door then made my way down the elevator. Once I made it to the bottom floor I was greeted by Keith.

"Hey baby." He smiled, as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"Hey." I mumbled.

He placed a kiss to my temple as we walked down the front steps of the building making our way to class.

I decided the best choice for myself was to be with Keith and although I thought it would make me happier, it really hasn't done much.

There's no doubt that he makes me happy, but I've just been happier.. with Chris.

We finally reached class and sat down in our seats next to one another.

I heavily breathed out as I grabbed my things out of my bag. This is gonna be a long day.

After class was over, Alex, Keith, and I headed over to the cafeteria.

"Guess who's having a concert at the Staples Center this weekend?" Alex said through her full mouth.

I shrugged taking a sip from my water bottle. "Who?" I asked.

"Chris Brown's fine ass. I wish we could go but–" She sighed.

I choked as soon as she said his name.

"Oh shit, are you okay?!" Alex asked sitting up a bit from her chair to grab my band.

Keith pat my back, looking at me waiting for an answer. I gently rubbed my throat, finally catching my breath.

"You good?" Keith questioned.

"Yeah, it just uh. Went down the wrong pipe. Stupid trachea." I said trying to play it off.

Still after all of this time, I never told anyone, not even Alex about Chris and I's little fling.
