Chapter 20

New York

"Look at all the buildings mommy," Jade said excitedly.

"You like them?" Brianna asked.

"Yeah," Jade smiled as she continued to look out the window.

"I think we picked the right place," Sydney laughed.

Sydney, Brianna, and Jade just arrived in New York, 3 days later. On the way to New York Brianna decided to tell Sydney the truth about her, she told her about her whole life, and how she got to this very point in her life. Brianna thought since they would be sticking together they should be able to trust each other, and Sydney felt the exact same way. They were both on their own in a big city.

Sydney wasn't really mad at Brianna for not telling her, she simply said "You can't trust everyone you meet but I'm glad you trust me." Sydney understood more than anyone that you can't put your trust in anyone. Sydney has been on her since she was 15, and she has been fucked over plenty of times for putting her trust the wrong people. Sydney didn't fully trust Brianna until she opened up to her, which allowed Sydney to open up to Brianna about her life as well.

Brianna felt as if Sydney was apart of her now, and not just apart of Melody of Addiction. Brianna could finally be herself around someone without lying, and keeping secrets.

"Where are we gonna stay? I don't want to keep spending our money on hotels and we're not working right now. We don't even know the area," Brianna said.

"I have a cousin who stays here, maybe we can stay with him until we find a place," Sydney suggested.

"Call him," Brianna said.

Sydney picked up her phone and called her cousin, Bryson.

"Hello," Bryson answered.

"Hey big cousin."

"Sydney?" Bryson questioned.

"Yours truly," Sydney smiled.

"Damn girl, it's been a while. How you been?" he asked.

"That's what I wanted to call you about. My friend, her daughter, and I are in New York and we need somewhere to stay. I was hoping you could help us out," Sydney said.

"Sydney you're my favorite cousin, of course I can help you out, but you won't be able to stay with me because my girl ain't having that, and I have a kid. I can get y'all your own place to stay, ya just have to have a security deposit and first months rent," Bryson said.

"Tell him we ain't staying in the ghetto, and we need a view of the city," Brianna whispered to her.

"We ain't tryna stay in no ghetto, Bryson. We need something luxurious with a view, but not too expensive, and we don't need no rodents either," Sydney said.

"I got you Syd, I live in Manhattan, it's nice. I'm sure you and your friend will love it," Bryson said.

"Ok then, where can I meet you?"

"Well my plane just landed so I'm at JFK right now. I won't be in Manhattan for about another 45 minutes to an hour. In the meantime y'all can go sightseeing or some shit," Bryson said.

[A/N: If you're confused Beyoncé's workers were only staying in Vegas for 3 days during the time of the tattoo convention. It took Bri and Syd 3 days to drive to New York 👌🏾.]
