The Fix

Vingt-Sept / Family Matters

Nathan

Thursday morning came sooner than expected, even with all the stress about not having enough rehearsal time.

With leaving for Houston, it meant departing from Audrey. Which wasn't necessarily easy.

"If you don't hurry up you'll miss your flight."

"I know Drey...I just don't feel good. My stomach, my head, I'm sweating. I hate when this shit happens."

Again I had that feeling, the one before big shows, the one when Audrey called me about that creepy ass guy, it felt horrible.

"When what happens?"

"This feeling. Weed usually helps, it just feels like I'm gonna either throw up or pass out or die. Any of those."

"Nathan I think that feeling you're describing is anxiety. It happens to almost everyone..just relax. You'll be home before you know it."

"I can't just relax!"

"Not if you keep getting yourself all worked up. Breathe. Deep breaths. You'll be fine."

"Okay Audrey.." I told her, grabbing my suitcase.

"Text me when you get on the plane. Make good decisions." She said embracing me in a hug.

"I will. And don't forget...I have cameras-"

"Oh whatever Nathan. Hurry up, your driver's waiting."

When I finally got to the airport and through security, I spotted Ty was waiting by the gate.

"Nigga you late as hell." He said

"I know, we gotta move quick."

"Man what happened?" He said, walking quickly with me to board the plane.

"Man I had a lil moment. Don't worry about it, Audrey helped me with it."

Ty looked at me and laughed.

"A moment huh? So you and Audrey something official now?"

"Something like it. Not to the public though. Your dumbass gon drop her @ in the IG live."

"I ain't know it was top secret and shit. Let me just tell you this...Danielle? Is vexxxed."

"For what? Her and I ain't even together anymore."

Our conversation paused for a moment, as we boarded first class on the almost empty plane.

"She's pissed because you initially said Audrey wasn't a threat to her. Now that's your girl...and..."

"Nigga how do you know all this?"

"From her IG story. She's been throwing shots at you all day. Oh and that Deidra girl Graham was messing with? Something must've happened between them two because she's been commenting crazy shit under all his posts."

"You live off drama Ty, I swear."

"Ain't nothing wrong with knowing what's going on in the world. Speaking of what's going on....you already know what the fuck goin on in Houston! I heard them girls got asses like Miss Amber Rose!"

"I ain't acting out man. You know I got Audrey-"

"Oh I know you ain't acting out. But I am. I'm tryna get some Texas ass thrown in every direction."
