The first week of Dynasty's break was spent, by Tonaya, staying indoors with her phone off. She zoned out a lot, mainly because her good self was still in shock that she went hard as a mother-fucker with destroying her now-ex's house. She never would've thought she had it in her and neither did the world.

Soon after she posted those pictures of the wrecked house, '#SavageToni' tended worldwide along with a number of memes that Tonaya didn't find funny just yet.

She hadn't spoken to anyone other than Mariah and she was fine with that. She needed to work on calming down and getting back to her former sane self. It wasn't like her to let things get to her like this. The truth was, she'd had enough and all the things she'd spent forever bottling up had just erupted. She'd carried herself like a poise young woman for too long and all the niggas in the music industry probably thought it would be fun to see who'd get her to burst first. Well, that award went to ASAP Rocky.

As she stared at the tv, stuffing her face with chips, Mariah came home from a busy day at work with loads of takeout for herself and her sister.

"Hey, Toni." Mariah tried to sound cheerful, just to test the waters and see if Tonaya's mood had improved.

"Hey, Mimi." Tonaya said with no emotion in her voice. She didn't even as much as look away from the tv.

Mariah sighed and carried the food to the kitchen. Something had to happen to get Tonaya back to her usual self because Mariah was dying to tell her about her new crush that she met at work today.

"I got some burgers and fries." Mariah spoke as she plated everything up.

Tonaya stayed quiet and had the last bit of chips that was left in the packet.

"What do you wanna drink?" Mariah asked anyway.

"Vodka?" Tonaya peeled her eyes away from the tv screen to finally acknowledge her sister.

"Not until you've had something proper to eat."

Tonaya rolled her eyes and left the couch to dispose of her empty chip packet. She got herself some water in the kitchen and nearly drooled at the sight of the food that Mariah had dished up.

"I was hoping you had an appetite for all of this cause I couldn't finish it on my own." Mariah smiled.

"I haven't had junk food like this in a minute." Tonaya picked up a salted fry and took a bite. She moaned at the crispness and for a split second, she was back to being the Tonaya that Mariah knew and loved.

Mariah giggled lightly and went to get some lemonade cans out of the fridge for herself and Tonaya. She placed them on the counter next to the plates of food and she went to sit down on a stool so she could enjoy her much needed meal.

Mariah hadn't eaten all day. Apart from her light breakfast which consisted of muesli, yoghurt and berries, she'd only had a cup of coffee that day. Even when the cute Mr Evans had graced the building and asked the receptionist at the record company to order food for everyone, Mariah found she was too shy to want to eat around the gorgeous, dark haired, blue eyed god and for the entire two hours that he was there, Mariah's stomach was full... Full of butterflies, that is. As soon as he walked out the building though, one mention of tacos by Shannon who was one of the other song writers, Mariah felt like she hadn't eaten in months.
