Carson paced the length of her bedroom as Jack just sat on the edge watching her, a blank expression on his face.

"So can you go to the party with me or not?"

"Not."Jack said once again.

"You're not even giving me a valid excuse." She turned around to look at him.

"What else do you want me to say? I'm working, I don't have time for a party." He argued back, sitting up a bit.

"Working? Jack, you're a fucking rapper, you set your own hours." Carson squinted at him.

"And I've already set these hours, I'll be busy. You can go to a party without me." He started to stand up and she pushed him right back down.

"That's the point, I don't want to go to the party without you. I don't feel comfortable." She crossed her arms.

Jack rubbed his temples, "Then go with Majesty."

"She's busy."

"Well so am I," He sighed and just looked at her. "How about you stay home?"

"I can't! It's a sponsored event, I need to be there." She was almost whining at this point.

"Carson, don't start with the baby voice please." He muttered while shaking his head.

She looked at him, her arms still crossed and her jaw clenched, "Why are you being so mean?"

"I-," Jack stood up and walked over to stand in front of her, his hands going to the sides of her face. "We can hang out all day tomorrow. But I have to be in the studio tonight, it's the only night Drama has available for the next few weeks and I have to show him what I've been working on."

She just looked up at him, "Whatever Jack." She pushed out of his grasp and walked to her closet to go get dressed for the party. It was a YouTube sponsored event and she was invited, her manager thought it would be a great idea for her to go and network, but she didn't want go alone. But since she already committed to going and nobody wanted to go with her, she would have to attend alone.

Carson was dressed in just a few minutes, when she came out the closet Jack was putting on his shoes so he could leave too. "Text me when you get back in, so I know you made it back safely." He told her as he adjusted the tongue of his shoe.

She just nodded, "Alright."

He stood up and went over to her, he was about to kiss her but she looked to the side, completely dodging it. He scoffed, "Whatever, B. I 'll see you later.

Carson walked into the venue, swinging her purse back and forth as she walked into the venue, it was a warehouse that was decorated for the event. She went over to the bar, she knew she would need a drink or two to get through the night.

She took a seat in the corner of the bar and pulled out her phone, taking a few pictures before ordering a drink. She sat in her corner seat scrolling through her phone and ordering drinks for nearly an hour.

After an hour of doing nothing but drinking, she was past tipsy, she was drunk. It didn't help that she had been drinking on an empty stomach. She stuck her hand into her purse and pulled out a granola bar, Jack put one in her purse every morning because she always forgot to eat during the day.

As she snacked on her granola bar she saw someone from the corner of her eye approaching her but she paid them no mind, when she was drunk she liked to stay to herself.

A few moments later she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Go away." She waved her hand without even looking back to see who it was.

"Why would I go away when there's a beautiful girl here for me to talk to." The man said with a smile.

Carson rolled her eyes, "Corny. Try again."

"Uh," She heard the man laugh. "How about, can I get your number?"

"How about, I'm taken." She held up her hand to show the promise ring on her finger. "And you're ugly."

"You haven't even looked at me yet."

Carson shifted around in her seat and she looked at him, examining him as she continued to sip on her drink. "I'm Ken." He introduced.

"Oh." She said, crossing her ankles. "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to come hang out with you. You're on your like...tenth drink and you're alone. Is that a crime?" He asked while putting his hands into the pockets of his shorts.

"I suppose not..." She shrugged. Ken knew she was drunk and she would be nicer, nobody ever talked to Carson at these events, she seemed like the biggest bitch in the room.

"Good, can I buy you another drink?" He took the stool next to her.

"The drinks are free.." She mumbled as he ordered another drink for her anyway.

"So why are you alone? Don't you got a boyfriend?" He asked while resting his elbows on the bar.

"You listen well, I literally just said I did." She held her hand up once again and tapped the diamond.

"I just meant, is it anything serious?" He wondered as her drink arrived. Carson took it and started to sip on it with a nod, "Yeah."

He reached over and touched her exposed leg gently, she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What the hell are doing?" She put her hand on top of his.

Ken knew exactly what he was doing. She was really pretty and really drunk. And alone. It would take nothing to convince the drunk girl to go home with him.

Jack was currently in the studio with DJ Drama, they were going over tracks that were going to be on his album. Drama was giving him advice on what to leave on and what to take off.

His phone that was in his pocket was blowing up, but he paid no mind to it, he really wanted to go over these tracks quickly so he could get back to Carson's place and wait for her to show up. He had planned to grab sushi on the way, knowing she would be hungry, like always.

After ten minutes of constant buzzing from his phone Drama looked at him, "Answer that shit."

Jack smacked his lips and pulled his phone from his pocket, it was just a bunch of Twitter and Instagram notifications. He was about to ignore them when Urban started to FaceTime him. When he answered it, it was Majesty's face that came onto the screen.

"Bitchhhh," She laughed, her tone full of disbelief. "Where the fuck is Carson?" She asked.

"At some YouTube event." He said simply.

"No she not!" Urban called from behind the camera.

"You said I could tell him," Majesty mumbled, looking off camera to Urban.

Urban just shrugged, "He's my best friend. I deserve to tell him."

"But you said I could!" Majesty tossed down the phone, leaving Jack very confused.

Urban picked up the phone, "Just go check The Shade Room."

"No, why would I do that?" He shook his head with furrowed eyebrows.

"Then I'll send it to you." The call ended and a few seconds later a message came through.

Jack watched the video once. Then he watched it again. He tried to convince himself that the woman in the video wasn't Carson. But it was. He could tell by the braids she had just gotten done this morning.

"You okay, kid?" He asked noticing Jack's bright red face. Jack stood up and turned off his phone, putting it into the pocket of his puffer jacket, the one Carson had gotten him for Valentines Day.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He moved his chair back. "I'll call you later." He didn't even wait on a response before he left the studio, making his way back to Carson's apartment.

••

Carson stumbled into her apartment the next morning with a bad headache. She had her heels in her left hand as the right one shut the door, waking up Jack who had fallen asleep on the couch. He had waited for her, thinking she would at least come back last night, when she didn't he just fell asleep on the couch.

Carson was about to walk past the living room but she noticed him sitting up, "Why'd you sleep there?" She asked, her heart immediately dropped at the sight of her boyfriend. She didn't even remember much of last night but waking up naked next to Ken told her everything she needed to know. She knew she fucked up.

"Where'd you sleep last night?" His voice was low and raspy, having just woken up. He pulled on one of his hoodie strings as he looked at her.

On instinct, she lied. "Majesty's apartment."

Jack stood up and stepped forward leading Carson to step back. "Why are you lying?" He asked, although he was very angry, he didn't sound it. He sounded pretty calm.

"Jack, why would I be lying?" She dropped her heels.

"Because you're a fucking liar." He snapped, he hated for people to lie to him, she knew that. He couldn't even look her in the eye, there was a big K on her neck spelled out with hickies, and she was trying to lie.

"I-." She began to speak but he cut her off.

"And you let that bitch brand you? Your a fuckin' idiot. How you gon' cheat and you can't even lie straight. Majesty called me last night while you were fucking whoever that was!" He yelled, walking towards her.

Carson just watched him, with every step he took forward she would step back. She tried to speak but no words come out.

"You cry to me all the time about how Dior fucked you over and look at you. You're just like him.I thought I loved you and you do something like this?" He yelled.

"There's videos of you everywhere making out with this dude at the bar. Were you even trying to hide it? Did you think for a split second how I would feel about that shit?"

"He took advantage of me!" She finally screamed back. "I was drunk and I wasn't thinkin' right."

"Then why did you lie to me? Since when do we lie to each other?" He looked at her, he couldn't even believe what she was saying.

"I didn't mean to. I was drunk!" As soon as she said that again, Jack's hand hit the wall right by her head.

"Stop makin' excuses, bruh," He started to walk away. Carson, who was now crying tried to grab his hand as he made his way towards the door. When her hand came in contact with his, he pushed her away, a little harder than intended. She hit the wall as he left, slamming the door behind him.
