The Lyon For Me

Twenty three

As we drove up to the place me and J were a arguing "Shit Leigh will you stop fussing over me" but I was ignoring his protests and still kept trying to fix his scarf "I'm sorry it's bothering me let me finish..... There" he rolled his eyes then laughed "You a piece of work" he said while I grabbed his arm and laid my head on his shoulder. Satisfaction.

When we got there the first person I saw was Cookie but J was out on stage. She walked up to me and I could tell something heavy was weighing on her mind.

"Ms. Lyon what's wrong" I said touching her shoulder "Jamal he thinks I'm.... Look I tried to kill Lucious but Mal doesn't know why... Lucious killed my cousin well only after he came in his house asking for money and stuff but I couldn't kill him I don't know why but I couldn't and I just need Jamal and... Lucious to know that" I bit my lip unsure of whether to be sad that someone still hasn't killed this man or happy that I could get Cookie's help with the while hostile takeover I'm sure helping them with that will put this 'I tried to kill you' thing under the bridge.

"How about you help me... I'm sure if do this while thing will go away.... What do you know about Hakeem and some chick being involved in a hostile takeover" she wasn't surprised so she already knew and judging by the guilty look that swam across her face she was apart of it.

I scoffed and shook my head "Ms. Lyon how exactly did you expect taking Empire from your son to put you two back in a good place" she looked down then looked up "Listen here bitch I want you to remember I was here first so even when I mess up there's still a chance I'll be forgiven" she said raising her eyebrow at me smirking.

"Oh how big that chance will be after they find out what you've been up to" she stopped smirking and put her finger in my face ".... what do you need me to me to do" I smiled and sighed "We need to know what their planning" I said batting my eyes at her.

"You want me to do a inside job" I bit my lip and nodded "Please Ms. Lyon it's not like they'll kill you when they find out it's your son" she rolled her eyes "Sons Andre's in on it too" she said I hugged get happy that I had yet another person on my side.

"Leigh... There you are we need you to come on out now" Jamal said switching his gaze between me and his mother questionably. I groaned my stomach already doing flips.

After I did my little part the crowd enjoyed. I felt a little more confident about my singing ability. I got off stage to see Jamal and Lucious talking and smiling. It warmed my heart that Jamal was getting the love from his father that he deserved. Then police burst in and arrested Lucious I ran over to Cookie.

"What happened" I asked her sternly "I don't know I didn't snitch" I could see in her eyes she was telling the truth. Lucious walked past us "You did this to me" I shook my head "No Lucious we a problem" he looked at me like 'duh' and continued walking.

Lucious yelled at Jamal to kill the song they created. I walked after him when I saw Hakeem and Andre obviously pleased with their father's misfortune.

I growled when a hands touched my shoulder. I looked over to see Cookie shaking her head. She's right more drama is not what Empire needs with the IPO just starting. Omg the IPO!!!

Damn it. Stock is down. Shit damn it Hakeem of all the idiotic things to do. Jealous bastard. I showed Cookie and get guilt seemed to triple. I huffed and went over to watch Jamal perform.

Next day....

I was walking with Jamal into Lucious' office well his office until he gets back. I was losing my breathe and I had to pull his arm "Jamal!!! Listen there's something you need to know about" he shook off my arm clearly pissed about yesterday. I groaned does he not understand I'm trying to help him.

"If you didn't notice I'm busy I need to figure out what thus whole thing with my father is about" I ran so I stood in front of him "If you were listening when I was taking you would've heard that I know why Lucious is in jail and probably all the other answers to your questions" he studied my unchanging annoyed expression for a moment.

He then pulled me away to his office where the last people that I wanted to see in the world sat on Lucious' desk
