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.

Ch. 17

    The tears kept streaming down Gypsy's face as she quickly drove home. As she pulled into her driveway, she turned the car off and sat in silence. In a complete daze, she couldn't belive what just happened. Everything he and Pretty Boy had been through, down the drain in one instance. All by the doings of the on person she trusted. Wayne. And to top it off, h decides to tell her that he's in love with her.Finally deciding to get out the car and go in the house, she walks up the stairs straight into her room. Sixx follows suit right behind her, wagging his tail. Gypsy places her stuff on her bed and walks to the bathroom. While in there, she turns on the shower. Walking out, Sixx begins to wimper. He knows something is wrong with Gypsy. She bends down to pick him up and give him a kiss.

    Placing him on the bed, she gathers a big t-shirt and shorts to sleep in and walks back into the bathroom. Once undressed, she steps into the shower, and lets the water pierce her soft skin as th tears still flow doen her face. Gypsy was heartbroken. Even though she wasnt in love, she really liked Pretty Boy, but at the same time, she was pissed at Wayne for what he did. After finishing her shower, she dressed and finally walks out the bathroom. Sixx pops his head up to watch her walk, with his tail slowing wagging. Gypsy gets in the bed, pluggin her phone in to charge. Shortly after, she was in slumber land.

    Morning came and Shanell was fast asleep in bed. The sunlight brightly shone through her windows and her face. Her phonebegan to buzz on the night stand. Slowly coming to consciousness, she quickly picked it up hoping it was Pretty Boy. But another voice greeted her on the line.

    "Hello?" Gypsy says nervously.

    "Hey baby! Are you home?" It was her mom, Ms. Sharon, on the phone. Gypsy said yea.

    "I will be there in like 10" Ms Sharon says.

    "Oh, ok" she didnt sound too enthusiastic.

    "You ok? You seem down.." Ms Sharon started to get concerned. Right when Shanell goes to answer, Ms Sharon interrupted.

    "Come to the door, I'm outside." Gypsy says ok, and heads to the front door to unlock it.

    Ms Sharon pulls up and heads to the door. She slowly turns the handle to check if it's unlocked. Realizing it is, she walks in, and sees her baby girl on the couch watching BET Centric, eating a bowl of cereal. She walks into the living room and sits next to her. She gives Gypsy a hug and kisses her forehead. They sat there quietly for a second, but Ms Sharon decided to break it.

    "So, what's new with you?" she could tell Gypsy had been crying.

    "Nothing. Just been working like usual." Gypsy didnt look up from her bowl of cereal.

    "Besides work, what else is going on?" she knew Shanell was holding back from her. That mother's intuition began to kick in. Gypsy gave her a puzzled look, as to say 'what do u mean'

    "Your eyes are puffy, hair not combed....even Sixx looks depressed! Like he's gonna commit doggie suicide." she point to him laying on the floor. Unknowing of why she pointed at him, he jumps up and starts to wag his tail. They both let out a laugh because of his timing. "There's that million dollar smile!"

    "Mom, i dont know what to do or think. Last night, i went to Mack's house party. We were all having a good time. But Pretty Boy showed up unexpectedly, and there was a big fight with Wayne. Mom, i dont know where we stand anymore..." Gypsy put sher head down as she plays in her food.

    "What was the fight about?" Ms Sharon asks, trying to make sure she gives the best advice afterwards.

    "Wayne had pulled me to the side to talk. He claims he's in love with me, and leaned in to kiss me. But when he did, Pretty Boy walked into the room.." her mom's sat back, soaking in the full story, then lets out a sigh before beginning.

    "Oh wow. What did you do after?"

    "I followed after, but he wouldnt come back. But the messed up part is how Wayne is the reason it all happened!" Gypsy began to elevate her tone as she vented.

    "How do you know that?" her mother asked.

    "Because when I walked back to the house, I overheard him talking to Mack and he comfessed it. I've never seen Pretty Boy that mad, plus he already feels that there's something going on between me and Wayne..." Ms Sharon just shook her head.

    "Well, how do u feel about him?"

    "I care for him, bu like a brother."

    "Im not talking about Wayne." She goes to grab Gypsy's hand. "Listen sweetie if you truly care about Pretty Boy like i know you do, then fight for the relationship. I know he cares for u a lot as well. Yes, it may look bad now, but it wont last forever." Her mom gets up and heads towards the door. "I gotta go. But think about what I just said" They hug and kiss eachothers cheeks. Then MsSharon is out the door.

    She walks back to the living room to grab her now empty bowl, and carries it into the kitchen. Her phone starts to buzz. She has two unread messages from her Aubrey O'Day. She replies back to the messages and heads upstairs. As she enters her room, she decides she wants to go to the one place that clears her mind- the studio. Quickly, she sends Aubrey a text, telling her to meet her at the studio. She repies with an 'ok' and Gypsy throws on some clothes.

    An hour later, she's ready and runs down stairs to her car. Placing Sixx in the passenger seat, she buckles up and pulls out of the driveway. Halfway to the studio, her phone rings but the number is unknown.

    "Hello?" she answers.

    "Hey sis, you got a minute?" By the tell of the voice it was Mack.

    "Who is this? Mack? Whats going on??" she didnt understand why he didnt call her from his phone.

    "Im at the studio. Im in the office calling you, because Wayne here too. I dont want him to know I came in here to call u. But first, how u feeling? I saw how upset u were when u left last night." he states. When he said that, she had to take a deep breathe. SHe was still upset about what she overheard.

    "Yea, Im good. Thanks for asking."

    "Where you at? Sounds like you in the car."

    "Yea, im headed to the studio to meet up with Aubrey. Why do u ask?" she knew he had something on his mind.

    "I was just wondering. But umm, theres something that i need to talk to you about. I was gone let it slide, but its getting outta hand now." she knew what he wanted to talk about, but played it off.

    "What?"

    "I cant really tell you over the phone. Plus I need to get back before he find out im on talking to you." Mack quickly peeped his head out the door, making sure the coast is still clear. "But aye, when u get here, text me." Gypsy says ok, and they hang up. Mack takes a deep breathe and heads out the door. Just as he turns the corner, Wayne pops up.

    "Nigga, wat took u so long?" Wayne asks

    "Business call. They needed some approvals on the YMCMB hoodie logos." Wayne gave him a funny look, as if he knew Mack had just lied.

    "Well get back in here so we can finish this song." The both walk back into the studio.

    A few minutes later, Gypsy and Aubrey pull up to the building parking lot around the same time. They greet eachother and head into the building. Gypsy quickly sends Mack the message and continues to walk down the hall to the studio........
