Beyoncé Giselle Knowles

"Have you seen Onika?" Kelly asked over the loud music, she was asking Beyoncé who Onika had previously ran away from.

"She was—right here and then she ran." Beyoncé said and Kelly rolled her eyes. "Probably because of the bitches you have on you—crap I didn't mean to leave her." Kelly stressed Beyoncé started to feel bad remembering she did say she'd stick around Onika.

"Don't blame me for this." Beyoncé said following Kelly, "I'm not blaming you—I just would've appreciated it if you kept an eye on her." Kelly said and Beyoncé started to get frustrated herself.

"It's not my job to babysit her." Beyoncé said and Kelly groaned, "No one asked you to babysit her, but have you heard of this thing called being a good friend?!" Kelly yelled in annoyance.

"She's a grown woman—" Beyoncé tried and Kelly groaned.

"Stop playing stupid, she's shy—this obviously isn't even her scene! God I should've kept a closer  eye on her.." Kelly said, "She'll probably be fine what's the worse that could happen?" Beyoncé asked starting to get a little nervous.

Beyoncé followed Kelly as they yelled and looked around for Onika, after walking in on several people having sex Beyoncé and Kelly met back up at the kitchen. "Let's split up. I'll find Robyn and Abel's drunk ass while Im at it." Kelly mumbled and Beyoncé nodded.

Beyoncé decided to check outside, she saw there was a new person working the glow stan. She recognized her, "Normani," Beyoncé said in a rush and the girl looked up with a curious look on her face.

"What are you doing here? Sober?" She asked and Beyoncé ignored her taunting, "Have you seen a short girl—glasses—sweatshirt? Curly hair?" Beyoncé asked.

"Had abunch of glow bracelets around her wrist?" Normani asked and Beyoncé nodded, "I think so. She was talking to Safaree last time I saw her." She said and Beyoncé groaned.

"Ight thanks." She mumbled and she started looking and asking around outside, she was getting more and more worried.and more and more guilty.

"Safaree? He brought a water from for him and his girl. Went in his car with her and drove off."

Was the response she got after 4 minutes of running around like a chicken with its head cut off. "Onika went in that idiots car?" She mumbled.

Kelly managed to round up her half drunk friends and Beyoncé never noticed how annoying they were when they were drunk.

This was probably Beyoncés first party when she didn't high and get laid—and was instead in a car with her friends who were yelling lyrics while Kelly drove.

"This sucks.." Beyoncé mumbled.

Meanwhile..

Onika sat nervously in Safarees front seat, she accepted the ride from him. She was nervous to accept a ride from him, but she couldn't find her friends and she thought this was her second best option.

"I wouldn't had expected you to wind up by yourself at a party like that." Safaree commented and Onika frowned.

"I—I was supposed to—stay with my friends but..I got lost." Onika mumbled and Safaree chuckled a bit.

"Well atleast you found me." Onika thought it was more like he found her but she didn't question the guy that was giving her a ride home.

"This it?" Safaree asked Onika as they pulled up to her apartment.

Onika nodded, "You need me to walk you to your door or are you okay?" He asked and Onika smiled at how nice he seemed.

"I—I think I'm okay." Onika said honestly and Safaree didn't push it. "Alright, have a good night." He said as she got out. Once she realized he wished her goodnight she turned around,
