Time taken: idk how long, but I know it was HOURS

Sean had taught her how to play music on the laptop, she was sure she could be able to whip up some beats on her phone without help, especially Sean had given her some very helpful tips for making beats. She wanted to make music and show it to her class, it was currently a Thursday night and on Friday, in her second grade classroom it was show and tell. Which was the day she had been waiting for for months now.

Yes, Bethany Wickham, the youngest sibling of her older sister, Hailey Austin, and her older brother, Alexander Wickham, who preferred his name to be pronounced as 'Zander'. At the moment, she was attempting to make some music on her small phone that her mother, Shannon, had gotten her when she was six (which was a very early age to say the least), and she was surprisingly doing good for her first time doing it by herself.

She had made beats with Sean before, what Milly called 'The Laptop Incident', had occurred. So she had had plenty of experience and help before this.

Now that we brought up the laptop incident...

Bethany didn't mean too, she was only trying to show her best friend, Hannah, what Sean had taught her. She didn't realize what distress and stress she would put on Sean. Now Sean didn't trust her with his laptop nor did he trust her to even be near him anymore. Which hurt her to see her favorite club member, Sean, not trust her. It hurt.

She once had asked Sean if they could make some music together on his laptop, she had promised, no, pinkie promised, a week before when she was crying at the mall to not take people's things without permission. And when she said she wouldn't, she meant it. Sean had said no, saying that he had to go do something. And what did he go do? He made beats with Jake.

Not her. Jake.

She wasn't jealous or mad, she was just sad. I mean, Sean had said to Jake that he would teach him a few tips and tricks about being a 'DJ' but did Sean really need to go and just do that..? He could've at least done it when Bethany wasn't around so she wouldn't have to feel so sad, but now she did

And every time. Every time. Bethany had asked him if they could make music together like they used, he refused, saying he was busy but when whenever Beth saw him after he said that he would always be having cheery conversations with someone or he wouldn't be doing anything that would he included as 'busy'

And it hurt.

And that had led Bethany to the conclusion that Sean didn't like her, he didn't want anything to do with her.

So Bethany just did that. She didn't bother him or talk to him. And she could've sworn that whenever he was over at the Austin-Wickham household he got even more happier when she didn't come up and ask him if they could do something together

To Bethany, it was like your best friend had just told you that you weren't their best friend, someone else was

It mentally hurt.

Occasionally, she would look to him and meet his eyes and his eyes filled with discomfort and he quickly looked away. She felt like she was something different, something different to him. She wasn't the same little girl that would make beats with him and laugh with him. That wasn't what he saw anymore.

She had no idea what she was to him anymore.

Well, enough about Bethany and Sean's relationship status at the moment, let's focus on the actual story

As Bethany was continuing to make the beats, at twelve o'clock at night, so whenever she wanted to listen to the audio she had to put her ear up against the phone to hear to prevent from disturbing anyone's sleep she didn't think how or what the outcome of tomorrow would be and what small quarrel she would get into with her sister and her brother.
