BEY POV

I was having the best dream ever when I move up to my phone ringing. I was sandwiched between two women so it took me a while to find it in the blanket.

It was Blue. It's three am over there and she hasn't returned any of my calls or texts since our little argument.

I answered, "Hello?"

"Mama?" I could already tell something wasn't right.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you remember that time we went to Italy? It was right before you guys got divorced and we went on this huge night. Aunt Solo, Aunt Kelly, Grandma, and even her husband. It was so much fun, do you remember?"

She was slurring her words, I didn't know if she was drunk or something else.

"Yeah, but what's wrong?"

"A lot of shit but that's besides the point. That was the best trip we've ever been on. The worst was probably Hawaii in freshman year."

"Why?"

"I should've never brought that fucking pen. I wish I would've gotten caught and you took it away from me, it was a domino effect after that."

"Are you on drugs right now?"

"All of them."

"Huh? What do you mean all of them?" I sat up like that would make me hear better.

She started softly crying. "I broke my promise. I'm so sorry."

"What promise?"

"In your office-"

"Shit." Why would she do this when I'm not even on the country?

I jumped out of the bed and went into my suitcase so I could put some clothes on. "How many pills did you take?"

"I already told you, I took all of them."

"How many is all of them?"

"Like.. all."

"How many is all?!" I didn't mean to yell but how am I supposed to react?

"Stop yelling, my head hurts."

"How many? Just guess."

"I don't know. I took enough to last me like two weeks."

I had to hold my tongue and not say what I wanted to right now.

I put the phone up to my ear so I could jump into some clothes. "I need you to stick your fingers far into your throat until you throw them all up. Please Blue."

"Give me a second."

She didn't say anything after that so I assumed so was doing what I asked. I put my phone on speaker and set it down so I could properly sit up.

I can't believe she did this again.

Well actually, I can believe it but I didn't want to.

"What happened? Where are you going?"

I almost jumped when I heard Megan's voice. I was so into this, I didn't even notice she woke up.

"Nothing, go back to sleep."

I have to call my pilot. I can't just up and walk on the ocean.

She got out of bed and hugged me from behind. "What's wrong?"

I pushed her arms off me. "Move. Not right now."

"Why are you shaking like this? Talk to me?"

"I have to go back to Texas but you guys stay here and have fun, everything is already paid for."
