A week later

Nicki's POV

In the hair shop, "What are we doing now Nicki you know we can't keep bleaching it.. maybe we should go back brown, or pink ?" Oscar said

"Black brownish you know what I mean" Nicki said softly

"Nicki your not going off on one of those little find yourself trips now are you ?" Oscar said, rolling his eyes

"What ? Why would you ask that ?" I said, looking up at him with an attitude

"You do this same bring me back to my original color shit every time you try and find yourself, then you come back wanting it blonde or pink or just some total opposite color again if I do this you ain't changing hair colors for the next year .. ya hear me" Oscar said, giggling

"Yeah well I'm not leaving im just, you know tryna calm down a bit.. I've been on the fast track lately and something has made me stop" I said

"Alright babe that's good I miss the old you" Oscar said kissing her cheek and getting to work.

Lately Nicki has been thinking about the convo her and Drake had it just kept replaying in her head like a broken record she was going crazy. Drinking and smoking weren't helping, so she had just decided to try and focus on music .. nothing. A whole week had gone by and he hadn't left her mind once.

Drake's POV

"Abel hit a Lil higher on that note man" Drizzy instructed

As Abel hit higher, Drake smiled and thought this is going to be a hit man. Abel walked out the studio to listen, he looked so happy, giving his close friends a chance at the music was what he wanted.

"Drake man I couldn't thank you enough, you got me on some sick beats, talking about beating when you coming out with another song you know that fans must be itching" Abel said

"Welcome man, well I don't know but I do got some shit on my mind, I could maybe write a song or two" Drake said

As the studio winded down. he looked at his phone just waiting for a text from her, just her. Nothing a week and no word. He knew where she stayed he had connects but he was waiting on her.

"Just how long you gonna wait Drizzy?" 40 said scaring Drake

"Man I told you to knock before you enter, how you know what I was thinking" Drake asked

"All these years bruh I know you better than anything you been in love with that girl since you first laid eyes on her, 5 years apart don't change love man" 40 said, handing Drake a piece of paper

He read it, it was a note she left him a couple years back, he had never seen it

"Aubrey I know you may not me thinking about me, but I miss you.. A lot actually, I feel like I'm losing myself , and you need to come save me my prince, I flew out to see you, but you weren't in town so I guess I just decided to leave you this, Love Onika Maraj"

He looked up at 40 angered"What the hell man ? Why didn't you give me this before ?"

"Look Driz you were just getting good in the label and Wayne said not to let anything get in your way .. so I kept some shit for you to better yourself , you said you didn't want her back until you were the better man" 40 said nervously

"Nah you did this shit for you man, the music could have waited, my girl was giving me a cry for help and I wasn't there , seriously leave 40 fuck you man" Drake said

40 left without a word, he didn't even apologize, so many mistakes made, things could have been good.

Nicki's POV

"Alright babe all done, its a bit of a wet look, your hair needs a bit of time to heal so be gentle with it babe" Oscar said

"It looks perfect, thanks Oscar" Nicki said, getting up and leaving a wad of cash in his hands

"Nicki what did I tell you about this shit" Oscar said running after her

"Keep it babe I got to go" Nicki said

She got in her benz and headed out to go meet up with Wayne. He had signed her but he said he needed her to fix herself , up these up and down looks were drawing in attention but not keeping the fans. So she decided to go back to her and take a break from the music for a bit. Now she had to break the news to Wayne, which would not be easy.

When she got to the studio there he was smoking and laughing "Hey ma, finally picked a normal hair color I see" Wayne said teasing her

"Ha ha very funny Wayne, but umm I'm here to let you know I got some personal shit going on and I need a break from the music" Nicki said

"I'm glad you brought that up because, I think its best we part ways" Wayne said in all seriousness

"What ? Wayne please don't do this to me, I know I haven't been serious lately, but come one, please" Nicki said on the verge of tears

"Listen ma you gave me a great first mixtape, but this album you threw me ain't fly, you need to step it up. You need time to grow and I need music coming in, we can't do that when your working on yourself. Trust me I have some people willing to work with you who are just as good as me and will give you the time you need, I just can't wait anymore" Wayne said

Nicki toughed it out and took a deep breath she did need time to fix herself before she could go on this fast paste music run " Alright, well I guess this is goodbye Wayne, ohh maybe you could email me some of the other labels names so I can get a hold of them" Nicki said

"Bye ma, will do, we will come together again girl I promise just get yourself together" Wayne said hugging her goodbye

Nicki headed home in tears, she had seemingly been loosing everything and everyone around her, just when she needed a shoulder to cry on all of her new friends had been to busy to listen, and all of her real friends didn't want anything to do with her. She needed to go into hiding.

Drake's POV

As a month rolled by Drake had finally forgiven 40 and began to work on some music, he wasn't feeling any of the beats in the studio so he decided to go out for a night of fun. He headed out to Candy's a strip club new to the area. As he sat back and watched many of the girls none seemed to appease him in the way he wanted so he just sat back throwing bills around for the girls to grab.

"Man why you even here" Chubbs asked

"Watchu mean nigga, I'm here to see the women and have a good time" I said back

"Nah man you over here looking like a sad puppy and shit, here have another shot" Chubbs said, handing me the drink, I gulped it down and all through the night the boys were handing me drinks by the time we left the club I could barely walk. We got in the car, my head was spinning, but I only had one thing on my mind Onika.. she hadn't left my head.. not a day went by where I didn't think about her.

"Tttake me to Onika's place" I said, slurring my words

All of the boys turned to look at me, and rolled their eyes "Nah, you just drunk lets head home" Chubbs said as the driver started the engine.

"No, Onika's house now" Drake yelled

40, went up to the driver and gave him the address "You wanna go embarrass yourself Aubrey go right on ahead, we are not stopping you" 40 said

Drake sat there smiling, he just wanted to see her face again..

"Man you fucked up letting him do this" Ryan said, sipping on his drink

"Yeah you are 40" Chubbs, Niko, and hush said in unison

"Well he needs to learn, if he wants to act a fool let him, he's been struggling to do anything all over this chick.. So lets see what happens" 40 said, getting irritated

"He's only like this cause he loves the girl 40, you would do anything if you loved a girl the way he does Onika" Ryan said looking down pondering his thoughts about Chanel an old love of his

"Yeah well it's whatever" 40 said ending the conversation

As they pulled up to Onika's apartment, Drake was getting more excited by the minute. 40 got out the car, walked him up to her door "She slam the door in your face man , come down stairs we will be waiting, she let you in let me know" 40 said then he just left Drake there at the door.

I found my courage and knocked on her door, I was wasted, but coherent enough to know what I want.

Nicki's POV

I heard a knock at my door, it had been a month since the last time I'd even spoken to anyone, I was surprised.

I opened the door to see Drake staring me in the face, his state slouched, oh gosh he must have been drunk. I rolled my eyes " What are you doing here Aubrey ?" I asked him "Matter of fact how did you even get my address?" I asked

"Let me in, Onika" He slurred trying to stand up straight

His voice pierced my ears, haven't heard my own name in a month, I looked around to see if any of his friends were around, I didn't see anyone. I thought what else could get worse? So I opened the door wide enough to let him in.

He walked in and looked me up and down "Damn Nika you still sleep in them tight ass shirts, with panties.. you ain't changed" he said licking his lips

I tried hard not to blush, but the pink overcame my cheeks before I could stop it."Boy stop ya staring, anyways answer my questions why are you here, and how did you get my address?" I asked taking a seat on my couch.

He sat right across from me seemingly trying to analyze me with his drunk self "Well I had some drinks and I built of the liquid courage to come see your beautiful ass, your hair you dyed it back to his original color , I missed seeing you so innocent, I don't know how I got your address 40 had, gosh baby girl you are just beautiful" Drake said staring at me.. his eyes stared into me and I could feel the pain hurt sorrow.

I looked down , he was still the same little boy I fell for those many years ago, I was trying to let myself grow and move on but here he came pushing me back, making me feel young, weak, vulnerable again. "That's nice Aubrey, but you do realize it's 3 in the morning and some of us have jobs, is there anyone you can call to pick you up?" I asked

"Nika please baby, don't make me leave, skip work tomorrow, spend the day with me let me make things up to you" Drake said he couldn't hold it back any longer tears began to fall. The drinks had left him more emotional than normal, he was breaking down faster than he realized.  So close, but yet so far away. He moved closer to her and grabbed her hand holding on to it tight

"Aubrey please don't do this to me, I need to move on you know that. You don't love me like you say you do, don't do this, please Aubrey" Nicki pleaded, He looked at her and kiss her hand, then moved the kisses up to her slowly kissing his way up to her neck, he scooped her up in his arms and rested his face in her neck "Onika, I still love you like I did back then, just let me spend the night with you, let me hold you just one last time baby" Drake said as tears rolled down his cheeks on to her neck.

I looked away, he always does the to me. "You really love me Aubrey ?" I had to ask

He turned my face towards him " I love you more baby girl to the great infinities of which no one could ever reach" he said same words he told me when he first said he loved me, I pushed him off of me, my feelings are conflicted I want to feel him closer than ever but again he left me high and dry how can I forget that. I ran my hand through my hair, walked into my kitchen , he walked over to me. Came up behind wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear "Just let me hold you tonight, I will leave tomorrow, I promise, I'm so sorry"

I looked back at him "You can stay tonight, leave tomorrow Aubrey"

He kissed my cheek, I blushed at least I'd have someone to hold on to for the night. I walked us back to my bedroom, I crawled into my bed and watched as he took off his shirt, pants, and shoes. I couldn't help but lick my lips, seeing him in those briefs.

"I see you staring, you know you can still get it whenever you want baby girl just give me the call" He said climbing into bed wrapping me in is arms.

"Really a call ? you never changed I guess I was wrong about you, but really, do we have to cuddle" I said, pushing myself up against him just wanting to tease a bit

"Yea baby girl, did you never check your bag, I slipped my number in there before you left my house that one time. Don't try to play games Onika." He said

I froze, all this time I had access to him, all I had to do was open my eyes, I had passed the piece of paper in my bag so many times. He reached up and kissed my neck again " Aubreyy, I need to sleep, I got work, no I never checked the piece of paper"

He laughed and kissed my cheek, I could feel the smile radiating off of him " Goodnight Onika"

I turned to face him and cuddled up to his chest where I said "Good night Aubrey"

Drake's POV

I woke up seeing her beautiful face smiling in my arms, I had truly missed this, I didn't want to leave but I had promised her I would be gone the next morning. I slid her off of my chest, watching her squirm around trying to find a comfortable spot again.

I went to use her bathroom, where I found a picture of her and I, there she was reaching up to kiss me as I bent down to give her one. I washed my hand and splashed a little water over my face, this pounding headache was worth it all being able to see her again. God I swear I love this girl.

I watched her pop up as I was pulling up my pants, her eyes squinted, she stared at me, got up and walked over to me. I was a little scared now that I was sober. She came closer and just stood there staring as I then put my shirt above my head. After that, she hugged me, surprised I jumped a bit, and then I hugged her back she started to doze off in my arms. I laughed, picked her up and placed her back in bed. Kissed her forehead and headed out the door, but not before leaving a note.

"Thank you baby girl , having you in my arms again was the best feeling"

I called 40 to come pick me up and then I left her apartment, fighting back tears I wondered if this was really the end of us or the new beginning she was so complex I couldn't tell.

Later in the studio

"Yo man that's going to be a hit !" 40 said, clapping his hands together

"Thanks man, really thanks for letting me go to see her last night" I said dapping him up

"What are you going to name the song?" 40 said totally ignoring the statement drake said to him

I looked at him confused and said "Hotline bling"
