The Beast's Queen

Chapter 7

Brock's POV

I sat in the corner of the small bar as I watched the superstars dance away in the middle of the dance floor.
"Brock!" Paul whined.
"What?" I asked impatiently.
"I don't wanna be here! Randy's here! That means bad things are gonna happen!" He whined.
"That's too fucking bad for him. But it doesn't affect us whatsoever." I said.
"How! We aren't apart of her group! If anything we are an enemy! A threat!"
"I'm no threat to her." I smirked.
"Brock!"
"Why the hell are you always whining. You can leave. I am not." I shrugged.
"No! I'm not leaving you here alone! God knows what you'll do!" He said as he sighed.
"What the fuck does that mean?" I asked accusingly but before Paul got the chance to answer a voice coming from the stage stopped him in his tracks.
"How y'all doing tonight!" She screamed as the crowd full of superstars burst out into cheers. I watched as she swayed back and forth on the stage. Unusually nervous compared to the videos I've seen of her.
"I know everybody is really excited. And I also know you all were expecting something upbeat. But tonight I wanted to switch it up a little," she said as she put the microphone on the stand and watched as the crowd began to fill with confusion, "don't get me wrong there's gonna be plenty of trap music and free drinks for y'all tonight! But I know I've been gone for a long time. And I knew coming in people would ask questions regarding where I've been these past few years. I've been through a lot. And the media portrayed it all wrong. I'm not just some heartless bitch. I wrote this song as a way to numb the pain. I just hope you all enjoy. And please drink up." She said softly as she took a deep breath.

Yo, I had to reinvent, I put the V in vent
I put the heat in vents, man I been competin' since
I look beyond what people sayin', and I see intent
Then I just sit back and decipher, what they really meant

Cherish these nights, cherish these people
Life is a movie, but there will never be a sequel
And I'm good with that, as long as I'm peaceful
As long as 7 years from now, I'm taking my daughter to preschool

Cherish these days, man do they go quick
Just yesterday, I swear it was o' six

I watched in confusion as she stared at Randy and they both locked eyes.

Ten years ago, that's when you proposed
I look down, yes I suppose

All things go, all things go
All things go, all things go

I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it's gone
While we keep waiting for a moment till it falls
So can't nobody ever tell me that I'm wrong
'Cause I'ma ride I'm with you still the night is young

We keep goin', we go, we go, we go
We wake back up and do it all again
(And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin' until the end
When all it's said and done, look at what we've become
I just want you to know that I did it all for you

I lost my little cousin to a senseless act of violence
His sister said, he wanted to stay with me, but I didn't invite him
Why didn't he ask, or am I just buggin'?
'Cause since I got fame, they don't act the same
Even though they know, that I love him

Family ties, broken before me, niggas tryna kill him, he ain't even call me
And that's the reflection of me, yes I get it, I get it, it was all me
I pop a pill and remember the look in his eyes, the last day he saw me

All things go, all things go
All things go, all things go

I feel one minute, yeah we got it then it's gone
While we keep waiting for a moment till it falls
So can't nobody ever tell me that I'm wrong
'Cause I'ma ride I'm with you still the night is young

We keep goin', we go, we go, we go
We wake back up and do it all again
(And we know, we know) say fuck the world, we ridin' until the end
When all it's said and done, look at what we've become
I just want you to know that I did it all for you

Let me make this clear I'm not difficult, I'm just about my business
I'm not into fake industry parties, and fake agendas
Rock with people for how they make me feel not what they give me
Even the ones that hurt me the most, I still show forgiveness

I love my mother more than life itself, and that's a fact
I'd give it all, if somehow I could just rekindle that
She never understands, why I'm so overprotective
The more I work, the more I feel like, somehow they're neglected

I want 'Caiah to go to college, just to say "We did it!"
My child with Randy, would've have been sixteen, any minute

Her voice cracked as she spoke and I saw Randy look at the floor as he heard her speak. "I'm sorry." She said softly as she struggled to continue.

So in some ways I feel like 'Caiah, is the both of them
It's like he's 'Caiah's little angel, looking over him

And I know Aubrey will always love me, and I'll always love him
And I'm just his little sister not Nicki Minaj when I'm around him
Jee we did it, let's leave this imprint
Just finished writing, this is the Pinkprint

All things go, all things go
All things go, all things go

I watched as the crowd of superstars clapped thunderously and wiped their eyes of any stray tears. I looked out into the emotional faces of everybody in the audience. I watched in anger as people made way for Randy as he slowly walked to the stage. He stared in her eyes as he climbed the stairs. I held my breath as he walked over and cautiously pulled her into a hug. She seemed calm in his embrace and it only angered me more for some reason.
"I'm here. It's ok." He muttered into her neck as the crowd looked on confused at what they just heard him say through her microphone.
And then she slowly pulled away and smirked, "you're right it is ok." She said as she quickly punched him in the face and he fell to the ground. I immediately bursted out into laughter as Paul gave me a stern look.
She grabbed the microphone, "your ego has always been your worst enemy. Tell Stephanie her little girl says hi and make sure to inform her you're the reason why this is happening. You're the reason why my career ended and you're the reason why we lost our baby boy. So get up now because soon enough both of you will be on the ground bowing down to me because Nicki McMahon never fucking loses and you of all people know that best." She said with venom in her voice as she shoved his head down with her hand as the crowd cheered in approval. She walked off the stage as Randy staggered to his feet and she quickly threw up the middle finger. I could hear Aubrey screaming with approval as Ashley came over to her side.
"Get him outta here!" She screamed as Adam and Kyle dragged Randy threw the door of the bar.
"Let's get this fucking party started!" She said as the crowd cheered. I watched her walk over to the bar and I decided to get up much to Paul's dismay. I approached her slowly as I heard her speak.
"Vodka martini." She said politely as she smiled at the bartender.
"That was quite a show you just put on." I said as I saw her stiffen at my words.
"I dare you to punch me in the face. I promise you that you'd enjoy what would happen next." I whispered in her ear.
