SORRRYYYYY IT'S BEEN SO LONGGGGG but here ya go.
"Safaree why don't you just tell me?" Nicki asked innocently. "No Nic, I'm going to give her another chance, but I'm going home. My lip hurts!". SB left, he was slightly mad that Nicki believed he would do something like that but even madder at Jen for saying it. On his way out he ran into her. He planned on walking right past her. He figured her time would come. Jen ran up to Nickis room but before entering she wiped the smile off her face and started to act sad. Nicki had headphones in listening to Lauren Hill. She realized Jen was there but she never acknowledged her presence.
"Hey Nika!" Jen said walking over to her bed. Nicki just kept nodding her head to the beat until she felt it pulled out. "I was talking to you" Jen said angrily. Nicki never saw Jen act like this but it didn't really scared her. Jen starred Nicki in the eyes for about 2 minutes before smirking and walking away. Nicki figured if she ignored Jen she would give up and tell the truth.
A few hours later Nicki was going downstairs because she smelled food realizing it was almost 6PM and she hasn't eaten a thing. As she opened her room door she was slapped to the ground. A tear immediately escaped her eyes. Not because she was hit but mostly because she saw the rage in her mothers eyes. "What the f....." Nicki was cut off by her mother, "I dare you Onika!"
"Mom what was that for!?!?" But she didn't answer she just walked away. Nicki didn't even feel hungry anymore. She just went back in her room and fell asleep.
When she woke up she could hear her moms soft cries from outside her door. Nicki got up and led her mother in without turning on the light. She figured it would be easier for them if they couldn't see each other. Nicki slept for about 4 hours so now it was 10 o clock. Nobody said anything for a while, it was just silent. Not an awkward silence though it was more comfortable. Nicki reached over and grabbed her mothers hand but her mother snatched away. She even refused to sit on the bed. "Onika take a shower and meet me in the living room when you're done." In her mind she was thinking "what the fuck?" But she just nodded her head and headed to the bathroom. The whole time she was wandering what was wrong. Finally giving up she got out the shower an hesitated going downstairs or not. "Onika now!" She didn't know her mom hear come out the bathroom. "I'm just putting my clothes away mom!" Soon Nicki was walking down the stairs and noticed her mothers figure sitting upright on the couch. "Sex?" Nicki didn't know how to answer that. She just stopped in her tracks. "You're having sex in my house?" "WHATTTT!? MOM NO! I swear to..." Nicki stopped because her mom glared at her, daring her to 'swear to god'. "Mommy I promise!" But she got no answer. "I couldn't make him have sex with me no matter what" Nicki whispered as she broke down in tears. "What?" "Mom he isn't attracted to me that way. I won't say he doesn't love me but he won't show it!" Nicki didn't notice but she was now sitting up under her mother like when she was younger and would get into it with SB. "Mommy am I not pretty enough?" Nicki felt like a little kid again. She didn't know why but whenever it came to SB her mother always knew what to do. "Nicki it isn't about sex all the time" Nicki just sighed. "Baby how will I understand if u won't talk to me?". "I don't wanna have sex Ma'. I just...." She trailed off. She could hear Jen at the top of the stairs. Then it started to make sense.
"Mom when we send Jen home lets make sure her mom takes her to military school" her mother was confused by this but she winked and pointed towards Jen then her mom saw the shadow and caught on. "I know! I was on the phone with her mother earlier and we were discussing that!" Jen couldn't believe her ears. Nicki continued, "remember what happened to the little girl down the street that went there?" Nicki began to laugh. "Oh that poor child, I still pray for her although I know it won't help her in there."
Jen came down the stairs furious. "You know I hate you right?" "Jen watch your......" "No mom! Let her get everything out." "Don't defend me, I can't stand you! The way you walk, the way you talk, your perfect life, stupid boyfriend..." By this time they couldn't understand her because she was in tears. Nicki just looked at her 14 year old cousin in disbelief. How could someone so young be so full of hate? "Why did you lie on Safaree?, rape isn't something you play with." "Jennifer! You accused that nice boy of raping you?" But Jen didn't answer, she continued to cry. "So when you told me about Onika having sex in my house, was it true?" Jen shook her head no. "I want you to apologize." "No I'm not apologizing! I just want things how they should be! She doesn't deserve to be happy!". Jen heard a horn beep so she grabbed her bags which she put at the bottom of the steps earlier in the day and walked towards the door. She turned around before completely exiting the house and smiled. "Wow she's going to be quite an actress one day" Mama Maraj joked while Nicki sat in shock.
