Heart of Lions

PART THREE: Locked Out the Box

Making her way into the house, Ariana let the dogs loose in the house as they ran to their respective lounge area. With the dogs being such a huge part of her life, Sean made it a point to make sure they had their own little space for when they moved in. Sean knew that he wasn't get Ari without the dogs, so he had to appease them. Heading upstairs, Ariana immediately walked into the bathroom to wipe her face of the sweat that was there. Opening up her purse, Ariana grabbed her prescribed pills and took them as she had started to get in the habit of. Turning the radio on, Ariana hummed along to the melody of the song that played along.

Radio Host: Alright, that's the latest from Chris Brown. In connection to Chris Brown, we got some Big Sean news for you.

Shaking her head as she laughed, Ariana knew that they were in a business that meant every little thing they did was newsworthy. Hearing the soon to be news, Ariana knew that Sean would be excited once he got to see how ecstatic his fans would be with the tour being extended.

Radio Host: Getting to this Big Sean news, hate to break it to those fans that were expecting Big Sean to be a part of the extended tour with GOOD Music. Big Sean has dropped out of the whole tour and promo tour.

Meanwhile.....

Looking through his phone as he sat in the passenger seat, Sean sent messages back and forth to Lawrence about their show that they were trying to get going. Thinking to himself, Sean knew now more than ever, he'd have to put his focus on getting his project with Lawrence up and going since he wouldn't have to deal with the demanding schedule of being on the road. Letting out a sigh as he put his phone down on his lap, Sean rested his head back against the headrest before he looked on to see that Nicole was eager to say something in regards to Sean's decision. At first, Sean tried to pretend like he didn't need to know what she was thinking or had on her mind, but seeing that she was about to burst with opinions, Sean just braced himself for the unexpected.

"Alright, give it to me" Sean stated as he let out a sigh before he looked on at her

"I really don't think you know what I'm thinking" Nicole laughed as they continued to drive

"You're clearly thinking something, so just tell me" Sean stated

"...I think you threw me for a loop. I think you're throwing everyone for a loop" Nicole laughed

"You had to have known that this was something I would do...." Sean began to say

"No, I was under the impression that you were going in to approve the added tour dates, not drop off the promo tour all together. I mean you do realize that you still have the actual tour in the states to do right?" Nicole asked

"I do and I've accepted that, but I did what was best for my situation" Sean said

"What is your situation???" Nicole questioned "I mean, I would just like to know because as someone that is working for you, I have no clue as to what is going on. Is it Ariana? Is it your mom? What is going on with you???" she questioned as Sean just sighed
