Moving On (Part 1)

"Queen, you've been loosing weight, look at you", Queen's mom, Tara, said concerned.

"Forreal?", Queen asked looking at her stomach. "Well, I guess it was pokin' out a little more before".

"A little? You better be losing weight on purpose and not just because- "

Queen cuts her off, "Mom, I just haven't been eating lately. I'm not starvin' myself or anything like that. Why would I do that? Plus, I've been wearing baggy shirts lately, it's just look like I've lost a lot".

The house phone rings and Tara went to go answer it.

"Wanna see the look on your face when I drop my clothes and I get naked...not for you, but for him", Queen mumbles while seeing if it fits in the song she's writing.

Queen's Instagram has been getting a lot of attention from a singing video she posted last night at Airi's house. People must've felt her heartbreak, must feel for her, or just the obvious- that she can really sing.

Her phone starts to ring and it was Mike, Queen's brother. Not biologically- but, they've knew each other for a very long time along with his brother, Marcus.

She answers, "Hey bro!", she says happily.

"Hey sis, you at ya mommas house, right?"

"Yeah, why? You commin' to visit?"

"No, I just wanted to know because I wanna fly you out to New York for me and Marcus' single release party".

"Ohhh snap, my boys about to blow up!", she said in an excitedly high-pitched voice.

He laughs, "Yeah, we wanna celebrate with you. We want all the people we love around us because this is out first official-like real, single".

"Hell yeah, I wanna be there".

"But, there's something else..."

"What?"

"We invited Chris..."

Queen put her pen down and put her forehead in her hand. She leaned on the counter and took a deep breath.

"Queen?", he asked to see if she was still there.

"..Yeah...yeah I heard you"

"I know what y'all been going through and I did let him know what's going on and what happened-"

"You didn't tell him where I was did you?"

"No-no, and we went and got your stuff and now its at our hotel we stayin' at...but, he agreed to co- parenting and being separated for right now...so like, I hope that's not gonna make you not wanna come-"

"You know I wouldn't do that to y'all. I can do it, I'll be there. Oh and Mike I'm writing this song and I should be finished real soon and I was wonderin' if I can use y'all studio to record it".

"Lemme hear it".

"I-I'm not quite done yet, I need it to be perfect and make sure everything is flowin', you know?"

"Okay, after the party is over, I'll take you right to the studio".

"What time do I have to be at the airport?"

"It's tomorrow at 8 so be at the airport by 3, I'll send a Uber that'll already be waiting for you, you'll get to the hotel by 6 somethin', and the hotel person knows who you are already, so just tell them and they'll give you your hotel room key".

"I'll be next to y'all right?"

"Yeah".

"What should I wear, though?"
