I miss Onika.

I was on group Facetime with my friends but instead of paying attention to whatever they were talking about, I was reading all the texts she sent me.

I didn't mean to ignore her texts, I just wasn't on my phone that much for a while.

I've had a lot going on. My life is kind of a mess right now.

She texts me everyday. Sometimes she'll just say goodnight or she'll saying something she misses or how much she likes me.

I want to respond but I'm going to wait until I'm not upset anymore.

I'm in the huge furry cow hoodie she got me and laying on the cow pillow she got me.

I sighed, "Guys why do you think hasn't she texted me yet?" She texts me every night but it's past midnight and she hasn't texted me yet.

Kelly matched my sigh. "Did you not hear anything we were just talking about?"

"Not really. Onika hasn't texted me goodnight like she usually does."

"Stand up and get a grip nigga." Brysons one to talk. He wants to die every time Kelly's mad at him.

"She texts me every night or at least once during the day and today she hasn't. Something is probably wrong if she's not following her daily routine."

Or she doesn't care anymore.

"Bey maybe she's just busy. If she doesn't text you by tomorrow night, then you can start to worry." This is why I love Frank.

"Oka- she's calling me!" I covered my mouth because I didn't mean to be that loud late at night.

Do I answer?

Well her birthdays tomorrow so maybe I should answer to just say happy birthday.

I hung up on my friends and answered her call, "Hello?"

"Bey! You answered!" Now I know why she called me, she was drunk.

"Are you okay?"

"This is the worst fucking birthday ever."

I guess since it's past midnight, it's technically her birthday.

"What happened?"

"First some weirdo ruined my night and I walked off from my friends and now I'm drunk and stranded."

"Do you want me to come get you?"

"You want to come get me? I- I should've just called Robyn. I'm sorr-"

"I don't mind. Send me your location." I think I just wanted to see her for a little bit.

"Are you sure? You don't have to."

"I want to make sure you get home safe, really."

"Okay, I'm sending you my location now."

"See you soon."

I hung up and got out of bed. She was drunk alone so I didn't waste any time and left my house.

It was a little far but the drive let me calm my nerves down. I was really nervous for some reason. We haven't seen each other since I found out what she did.

I couldn't find the exact location of where she was but I drove around until I found her sitting on the curb.

She looked like she was crying so I got out of my car. "Onika, what's wrong?"

She stood up and hugged me. "Thank you for coming to get me."

"Did something happen?" She was squeezing me so tight I could barely breathe.
