Beyoncé woke up in the bed that she and Jay were sharing. She looked over and saw that he wasn't in bed with her.

She got up and put his shirt on as she was about to go downstairs to look for him.

Beyoncé noticed him out on the balcony attached to the room. She went out on the balcony to see what he was up to.

She opened the sliding door and walked out onto the balcony before she wrapped her arms around him from behind as he leaned on the balcony railing. As soon as she stepped out onto the balcony, she knew what was going on from the smell of things.

"Baby, come back to bed. It's cold out here," Beyoncé said as she held on to him tightly.

"I'll be in there in a minute ma. Go back in. Let me finish this," Jay said as he showed her the blunt he was smoking.

She didn't mind him smoking weed because he only did it every once in a while. It wasn't a frequent thing.

"What's on your mind?" she asked him.

"Nothing. I'm good," he told her.

"Don't even do that. I know you only smoke when you're stressed about something. What is it? Talk to me," Beyoncé asked him again.

"I don't know. I guess that shit that went down with Odell just been weighing on me," Jay told her as he went and sat in one of the chairs that was out there.

"See, I knew it. I knew you were worried about Odell. I knew you weren't fine," she said as she sat in his lap.

"It's stupid," he said as he held her.

"It's not stupid. You didn't have to pretend to be okay for me," she told him.

"I just didn't want to add to your stress. I knew you were feeling bad enough about it," Jay said.

"So? So what? We're in a relationship. You can talk to me about anything. I know that Odell really hurt you. He hurt me too, and it's stupid and childish of him for him to be ignoring us, but there's nothing we can do about it, but you can let me know what you're feeling. Talk to me. I'm all ears," she told him.

"Yeah, you are Dumbo," Jay joked.

"I'm being serious Shawn. Talk to me," she told him.

"You wanna know how I feel? That shit fucking sucks! He's being dumb as shit for no fucking reason. We've been best friends for twenty years. I've had his back and stood by him through every fucking thing for twenty years, and I do one thing to make myself happy, and he's being a fucking dumbass," Jay told her.

"Yeah, you have every right to be upset, and you don't have to hide it from me. It'll be okay," Beyoncé said.

"If he wants to act like a dick, so be it. I'm done with his ass. Fuck him. I know that's your brother and all, but I can't trust that nigga. We're supposed to be best friends, and he's been ignoring me for two months, and all that shit he said about me. Nah, fuck that. I'm not with that shit," Jay said as he sucked his teeth.
