Beyoncé POV:
The week had gone by painfully slow. For the most part it was business as usual. School, practice or game, home. 
I can say my parents have been arguing a lot lately though it can start over any small thing and somehow lead to my dad's big secret he had kept. 
I felt like I was starting to go crazy. I wasn't completely over what he had done but I was starting to forgive him in my own way. 
My mom on the other hand was not letting it go. Part of me doesn't blame her thought yeah he is my dad but she married a man she didn't really know. 
I had yet to call my sister or even message her for that matter I know that she had seen that I left her message on read from the instagram app. I just needed time. 
Then this thing with Nicki and I has been a little weird. We haven't talked at all about last weekend. She barely acknowledges me in class and we haven't really talked for real since the day she drove me home on Monday. 
I heard my phone ringing so I glanced at the caller ID before picking it up. 
"Hey best wassup." I put the phone to my ear. 
"Hey wanna come to a costume party with me tonight?" She asked. 
"Umm I don't know Rih you know my mama say this is the devil's holiday." I told her. 
"Come on best I met this producer who invited me saying it was going to be a lot of people at this party I could make connections with. I need you there for moral support." She pleaded. 
"Okay but I don't even have a costume-"
"I'll pick you up now and we can both go find one." She cut me off. 
"Okay I guess." I gave in. 
"On the way! Muah" she blew a kiss through the phone before hanging up. 
I got up and threw on an oversized hoodie over my shirt and put on some slides. I told my mom that I was going to stay the night at Rih's place and she said it was okay. 

It took Rihanna all of 15 minutes to get here. We drove downtown in hopes of finding nice costumes considering tomorrow was Halloween day.
I found a cute Angel costume. Rih was going to get a devil costume but I told her that was corny for us to do that. So she got a sexy cow girl costume instead due to limited options. 
When we got to her place I decided to straighten my hair. I'd been wanting to do it for a while and it was going to look so cute with this costume. 
"What time we leaving?" I ran a comb through my hair yelling out of the bathroom. 
"Cassie nem gonna be here in two hours to pick us up." She casually responded. 
I put the comb down and walk out of the bathroom. 
"What do you mean 'Cassie Nem'" I quoted her.
"Cassie, Lauren, Nicki. Gurl who else?" She replied. 
"You didn't say nothing about that Rih." I shook my head. 
"Ya cause if I did you was gonna say no and I need you there." She looked at herself in the mirror. 
"You damn right I was gonna say no you know me and Nicki not in a good place right now it's gone be weird." I explained
