A Month Later

Beyoncé and Shawn sat at a nice restaurant having dinner.

"So when you leaving?" Beyoncé asked as she sipped her wine.

"In the morning." Shawn said.

"Why are you going up there again?" Beyoncé asked.

"Sydney is getting way too out of control." Shawn said scratching his head.

"I just talked to her. She said she was doing good."

Shawn laughed.

"She lied to you Bey, she probably didn't want you to yell at her." He said laughing.

"But what is she doing?"

"Whatever the hell she wants." Shawn said shaking his head. "Not going to school and when she does she doesn't stay."

Beyoncé just watched him as he talked. She could see the worry in his eyes.

"She just, I don't be knowing what to do with her." He said. "I just don't want her to get arrested again because I know next time it won't be a warning."

"Didn't you say she has a brother?" Beyoncé asked.

"He locked up right along with her dad." He said. "She gonna end up the same way if she keeps going."

"Maybe I should talk to her."

"Bey, she barely listened the last time."

"She did listen to me." Beyoncé said. "I'll be with the girls because we have a meeting with the label. I'll call you and see where you are."

Shawn just looked at her.

"Bey, I don't want you to waste your time if she's not gonna listen."

"Don't worry, it won't be a waste." She said.

Sydney sat in her bedroom starring at the ceiling. She bit her lip before she got up and slipped on her vans. She heard the front door slam and she rolled her eyes.

"Sydney!" She heard her mother yell.

She continued to put her shoes on and grabbed her hoodie. As she placed it over her head she heard her door open.

"What are you doing here? It's one o'clock." She said.

She didn't say anything just kept getting ready.

"I know you hear me." Her mother said.

"Chill ma." Sydney said and grabbed her skateboard.

"You're supposed to be in school. Why are you here?"

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"Don't ask me that."

Sydney sighed and walked by her mom out the room.

"Sydney! Come back here!"

"I'm going out. Later!" Sydney yelled and left the apartment.

She took the steps out of the apartment and got on her board and road off. She didn't care where she went she just wanted to get out that apartment.

Shawn had been in the city an hour before he got a phone call. He sighed when he saw it was his cousin Samantha, Sydney's mom.

"Sam, I'll find her." He said. "Okay, bye."

Shawn got up off the couch in the hotel room. He left the hotel in search for Sydney. He kind of remembered  most of her hang outs.
