Ch. 18 The Final Straw

    The girls walk in and greet strangers passing by. Once they reach the elevator, they press 7, and the doors close. It started as a silent ride, until Aubrey decided to break the awkwardness.

    "So, whats been up?! I missed you!!" Aubrey starts. Gypsy lets out a giggle.

    "Just been working really. Nothing too special..and I missed you too!! Its about time I got you back into the studio." she answers.

    "I know right?! It has been a while!"

    The elevator stops, and the doors open. As they walk into the tudio, Gypsy's phone begins to vibrate. She sees it was Mack responding back, and sends a quick 'k.' They place their stuff on the couch and relax for a few seconds. Gypsy starts to set up her laptop and pull out her notebook, as Aubrey gets out her pen and pad. Gypsy searches through all the tracks until she finds the half finished song, and starts to play it in the background. After everything is set up and ready, she turns around to face her friend.

    "So whats been up with you missy?" Gypsy asks.

    "Nothing much. You know I had my show, and I've released my new album. But other than work, I've just been chillin."

    "That's what's up!" Gypsy turns back around so she can turn the track up and let Aubrey get a good feel of the song.

    "That's a sick beat! I'm feeling that!!" she starts to nod her head and rock out. Moments later, the two begin to get their creative juices flowing. It took no time for each to throw out ideas and play around with how the track would sound. It began to get quiet as each one stated to jot down their verses. "Ok, I think I got it!" she starts to walk to the booth.

    "Well then let's hear it!" As soon as Shanell gets the beat ready there was a knock at the door. "Hold on" she gets up to answer the door, and it was Mack. He gives his her a hug and waves at Aubrey. The two sat at the soundboard and listened to Aubrey free style, and nod in a type of approvement. Just as she finishes, Gypsy chimes in to give some feedback. "Yo! That was crazy" the two let out a quick laugh. Aubrey walks out the boot and Gypsy begins to playback the verse. A couple hours past and the two are finally satisfied with the recording.

    "Today was fun!! We need to make more music together." Aubrey's phone starts to go off. "Ok, I gotta run. Call me later!" The two hug, and Aubrey exits the room. Gypsy proceeds to pack up and get ready to leave. Just then Mack turns to Shanell.

    "Hey, can we talk now or do u want to wait?" he asks.

    "Now, I guess. Whats up?" Gypsy asks.

    "Well I just wanna say sorry for the other day..."

    "Its ok. Not your fault." Gypsy knew who's fault it was but kept quiet.

    "I know, but I feel guilty." he looked down, then took in a deep breath.

    "Why?" she asks.

    "Well, when you left. Wayne came up to me and told me how he set the shit up. I mean, I know he has feelings for u but I didnt think he would do something like that though." just as Mack confesses, there was another knock. Gypsy tell him to hold his thought and goes to answer the door, but Mack stops her and decides to answer it for her. But to his surprise, it was an unexpected visitor.

    "Man, what da fuck u doing?! I been waiting-" Just as Wayne barges into the room, he sees Shanell and Aubrey. "So was this a imortant business call you had to make?!-" Gypsy interrupts him, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

    "NO!!!! Whats fucked up is what you did!! How could you?! I told you to stay out of my personal life, and you didnt! You say you love me, so you show it by sabotoging my relationship?!?!"

    "YOU TOLD HER?-" he yells at Mack.

    "NO!!! I overheard you two talking that night. Both Mack and Wayne looked at her. Mack didnt realize that she already knew about that night. "I was on my way back when I heard YOU say that you took my phone and tried to set it up so that it would look like we had something!!" she pointed at Wayne. At this point all of her rage came pouring out. "I never thought you could stoop so low!!" She grabs her stuff and proceeds to storm out, tears bagan to build up. She stopped at the threshold, turned around, and stared at Wayne with pain in her eyes. "For the record, I don't know where we stand as friends." She walks out, as the tears finally fall.

   A few days have passed, and Gypsy has been busy on her mixtape. She's also trying to put together her new clothing line, Gypsy Closet, while getting ready for the tour. Finally getting a day off to herself, she decides to check on her little gypsies. She grabs her MacBook and logs into her twitter account. She scams through her timeline to see what they are up to. She retweets and replies to a few people. Afterwards, she posts her status:

"Update: Come see me so I can see
you at the I Am Still Music tour
in a city near you."

    Once updated, she sees that fellow tour mate Yelawolf, has replied to it, stating "@shanell_SnL hell yea! Can't wait to see you ;)" Shortly after reading that, she saw he sent her a direct message.

"Somwtime this week, can you lay
some vocals down on this song I'm working
on? If so, thanks! I want to finish
before the tour starts.."

    She sends one back saying of course just hit me up when you want to do it. Realizing what time it was, she told her gypsies bye and got ready to run a few errands. As she walked into her closet, her phone begins to ring.
