Bad At Love

Chapter 4

Remy & Papoose in the picture.

~Braelyn (B.) Simone~

I didn't know what to do. Remy and I have this special sister bond. We always tell each other the truth no matter how bad it is. So, I decided to tell them the truth, just not the whole story.

"Well, we decided to move to the "A" a little early. Sevyn and her ex got into a heated argument and broke up. Since he was the only reason that was keeping her there she decided to leave. I stayed for her and now that she's ready to start singing we came to you guys." I explain. I mean they did get into a heated argument and they are broken up. I just left out the details of him being dead shouldn't matter too much.

"You're here for a job basically, not to see how your sister and brother-in-law been doing?" Remy ask playfully looking hurt.

"Well when you put it that way, you make it sound harsh." Sevyn add.

"What you think babe?" Remy looks to Pap. He looks at us and shook his head.

"Yall one luck motherfuckers, my label was looking for another girl to sign." He informs.

"What are you serious! This can't be happening." Sevyn squeal.

"As a heart attack. I go in tomorrow to make more beats. I'll come scoop y'all up then." He responds.

"What about you Simone? What you want to do?" My sister chimes in.

"Well right now I'm looking to do something with my Business and Marketing/Managing degree until I come up with enough money for my restaurant." I assure her of my plan.

"Umm... Well meet your new client." Pap said pointing to my best friend.

"If they sign her tomorrow, which I know they will, she has an option to come up with her own team. The spots she has not appointed will just get filled by the label picks. Depending on how far you take her they just might add you to the roster." He continue.

"That sounds good and all, but how do you know this is a guarantee for us? This all sounds too good to be true." I wasn't trying to get our hopes up too soon.

"I have a guy at Atlantic Records who owes me a favor. When they hear that voice of yours they'll make you their main priority." Pap informs.

"Now since we got everything situated, we need y'all to leave. We haven't had our good morning love session yet. Coming here this damn early." Remy rants getting off the couch, fixing her clothes.

"Ewwwww, y'all just nasty." Sevyn gag.

"What she said" I agree.

We were pulling out of the driveway when I decided to give my mom a call, The relator haven't called yet.

~Simone Parents House~

"Yumm, what's that delicious smell?" I ask walking into the kitchen rubbing my stomach. Sevyn sits at the bar stool, while I lean over it.

"I'm cooking omelet, grits and bacon, while your mom's baking biscuits." My dad answers layering the metal pan with thick cut bacon.

"What are you two doing down here? I thought you were moving next year or is this just a visit?" My mom ask.

"We moved last night. We're staying in a hotel for now until our relator calls." I reply.

"Why did you get a realator, when you could've asked me?" My dad stops and looks at me.

"Because, I wanted to do this on my own. You always say how we should do things without always depending on y'all so...."

"Now you know I didn't mean something like this. I was talking about all the little shit y'all be coming to us about. You know what you be doing." He points his finger at me.

"Anyways what made you guys change your mind?" My mom pushes my dad out the way to give us a hug once she was done putting the biscuits on a cooling tray.

"There was nothing left for us back home. Better opportunities here for us, so we just decided why wait." God forgive me of these lies I'm telling.

"Why you think we've been telling y'all to move out here? Look how fast we got our life up and running. You new age adults just don't listen." My dad nag as he helps mom clean up the counter.

"I did not come here for a lecture. I just wanted to see you guys and let y'all know we here." Me asking them for anything should be the least of their worries.

"Start looking for jobs yet? My mom continue as she opens the oven for my dad.

"Yes ma'am Pap has an audition set up for me tomorrow. He says the label been looking for "The Girl". I don't know why he thinks I'm the girl for it." Sevyn doubts.

"Look here Sevyn, I know your life was hell before us but when we tell you that you have a beautiful and powerful voice, we genuinely mean it. Use your past to your advantage and show the world that you are strong. You and Simone been bestfriends for 12 years and I've seen y'all get through a lot together. This is just another obstical that will make y'all stronger. As long as you two have each other's back, both of you will be just fine." My mom says causing Sevyn to become emotional.

"Thanks mama." Sevyn replies.

There is nothing I wouldn't do for Sevyn. Of course we have our altercations with each other, but what bestfriend doesn't. I just want her to know that there is more to life than boys.

We ate and talked all the way up until we got the call from Megan. "Ok we should get going our realtor just called and said she found some houses." I say coming from around the corner. I took the call to the back to have privacy.

"Ok love you girls. Keep making me proud." My mom gave both of us a kiss on the cheek.

"Now that we know yall down here don't make it a habit of popping up to my house. I might be taking yall mama to pound town. You'll be scarred for life messing with us." Dad jokes walking us out. Knowing him, he probably wasn't.
