H.O.P.E.

What has my life came to? What am I supposed to do? I can't take chances like this. Maybe I should tell that guy where Malik is but I cant rat him out.... I promised him I would be that ride or die. I keep my promises.

Nicki looked around the room while she sat on the floor. She was a crossroads with herself. She knew she wanted to be let go. She wanted to go home, and forget that all this happened. She was scared out of her mind but she didn't let that show. She wasn't going to allow her weakness to be seen. That's one thing that Malik taught her.

Nicki's mind raced down a chain & it set on Safaree. She felt bad for running off but she had to. When she had saw Greg out the corner of her eye she had to go. She couldn't get Safaree jumped over Malik. Surprisingly she cared more about Safaree than Malik. She loved him more, and would do anything to keep him out of harms way. She knows that right now Safaree might be worried sick about her. He probably is losing his mind since she was gone like the wind with no trance left behind.

Nicki heard a huge bang that was followed by a cry.
"What the hell was that?" She said.
"I want to know the same thing." James stated getting up from his chair.
"That sounded like a body hitting something." James looked at Nic before he walked over to the door. He opened it, and looked to the right where he seen Tyrek man handling some female.
"Tyrek! What the fuck man?" James said running to approach him.
"James go back in the room with Nicki."
"No man. Stop handling these women like that." James said standing firm.

Nicki heard this and slowly pulled off her rain boots. She stood up quietly before she tip toed to the door. She peaked out, and saw James and Tyrek arguing about this female. Nicki looked over to the side and saw a exit door. She looked back at them before she crept out the door and was moving toward the exit door. Just as she reached it Tyrek yelled.
"See Dumbass! She about to get away." He said about to charge Nic before he grabbed the other female by the hair and put her in front of him.
"You gonna leave her?" Nicki turned around, and her eyes locked with the girl.
"T.T!!!!" Nicki yelled out before she ran back in their direction. Another guy stepped out a door that Nicki didn't see, and grabbed her by her hair.
"Oww!" Nicki screamed. Tyrek and this new guy laughed. James ran up on the guy holding Nicki.
"Marcus. Let her go."
"Who's fucking side are you on?" Marcus asked him.
"I'm all for Tyrek making ole dude pay but these are FEMALES. Yall grabbing on them like they fucking dudes like us. Chill the fuck out." James said before he punched Marcus in the face. He stumbled back, and James bent down to help Nicki up. Marcus moved like he was going to hit James but quickly stepped back when James eyed him. Nicki kept her eyes on Tyrek.
"What do you want from me?" Nicki said with a serious facial expression. Tyrek let T.T. go. He walked over to Nic.
"That punk ass boyfriend of your's has to pay for something, and until he stops being a motherfucking punk ass bitch. You will pay."
"I won't pay." Nicki said standing her ground she wasn't about to let this dude think he won.
"You wanna bet shawty?" He said raising his had to go around her neck.
"Don't even think about it." James said as he put his hand in front of Tyrek's.
"Let me go, and I will make sure on my life Malik will be here." Tyrek looked at Nicki. She seemed trustworthy but he wasn't taking any chances.
"Yeah, You can go. But she will stay. To make sure you come back with him."
"Cool. Can I talk to her?" Nicki asked.
"Go ahead. Not in private. Right here."
"T.T.... I will be back for you. Stay calm. They wont hurt you. My nigga James gotchu. Right?" Nicki said looking back at James.
"Yeah." Nicki smirked at Tyesha, and walked back into the room she snuck out of. She put her boots back on, and walked out. She took a deep breath when she reached the door.
"You might want to be ready for war. Malik is coming like a starved lion. He coming for blood." After that was said Nic walked out the door. She knew she had to come back now... Tyesha was in there. That's her best friend, and she wasn't leaving her out like that.

When the door shut Tyrek looked at Tyesha. He believed that he struck a nerve with Nic when she seen her. He knew she would be back. He had her for two days, and If she came back without Malik, her life was gone in the blink of a eye. Fuck holding her for hostage.
"Take her in the room down that hall." He said opening the door to another room.
"SAFAREE!" Tyesha yelled before Marcus carried her down the hall.
Safaree was laying on the floor looking lifeless. When Tyesha screamed his name he jumped up.
"T.T!!!" Before Safaree knew it Tyrek had kicked him in the mouth, and the door shut with him laid back out, and Tyesha screaming for him. She was hoping that Nicki would be back quick. But the question was will Nicki make it back at all.....
