 Amber refuses to let Shayla take Kai to LA with her.😱 What Shayla Did

Amber: arms crossed, voice tight
Absolutely not, Shayla. You are not taking Kai to LA.

Shayla: stops mid-pack, turns slowly
Excuse me? You don’t get to just say that and walk away like it’s nothing.

Amber: Oh, I get to say it because I’m his mother. And I’m saying no.

Shayla: laughs bitterly
Wow. So now you remember that title when it’s convenient?

Amber: Don’t twist this. LA is three thousand miles away. You didn’t even ask me—you announced it.

Shayla: I told you because I already got the offer. This isn’t some random trip. It’s a job, Amber. A real one.

Amber: And Kai is supposed to just uproot his entire life because you got stars in your eyes?

Shayla: voice rising
Don’t you dare make it sound like that. This is about giving him more than this small-town, barely-getting-by life.

Amber: More? He has a school he loves. Friends. A routine. Stability.

Shayla: Stability? Or stagnation? Because from where I’m standing, you’ve been stuck in the same place for ten years.

Amber: hurt flashes across her face
This isn’t about me.

Shayla: It always is with you. You’re scared—scared that if he leaves, you won’t be the center of his world anymore.

Amber: That’s not fair.

Shayla: Is it not? You barely let me have him on weekends without calling ten times.

Amber: Because you disappear, Shayla! You chase dreams and forget real responsibilities.

Shayla: steps closer, eyes blazing
I never forgot Kai. I stayed up nights working two jobs to pay child support while you told everyone I “abandoned” him.

Amber: You left!

Shayla: I left you, not my son.

Amber: Then why didn’t you fight harder to stay?

Shayla: voice cracks
Because every time I tried, you reminded me I’d never be enough.

Kai: standing in the doorway, quiet but shaking
Stop… please stop yelling.

Amber: turns instantly
Kai, sweetheart—go back to your room.

Kai: No. I wanna know why everyone’s fighting about me like I’m a suitcase.

Shayla: kneels in front of him
Hey… that’s not what this is.

Kai: Then what is it?

Amber: softly
I just don’t want you to get hurt.

Kai: By going with Shayla?

Amber: By being taken away and forgotten.

Shayla: looks at Amber, stunned
You really think I’d forget him?

Amber: I don’t know what to think anymore.

Shayla: takes a breath
Then let me tell you what you don’t know. LA isn’t just a job—it’s a long-term contract. Healthcare. A stable income. A house already lined up near a good school.

Amber: hesitates
You planned all this… without me?

Shayla: Because every time I tried to include you, you shut me down.

Kai: quietly
Would I still get to see Mom?

Shayla: immediately
All the time. Summers. Holidays. Video calls every day if you want.

Amber: eyes fill with tears
You make it sound so easy.

Shayla: It’s not. But keeping him here just because you’re afraid isn’t fair either.

Amber: long silence
And what if he hates it?

Shayla: Then we figure it out. Together. Like parents are supposed to.

Kai: looks between them
I don’t wanna choose.

Amber: pulls him into a hug
You shouldn’t have to.

Shayla: softly
I’m not trying to take him away from you, Amber. I just want to take him forward.

Amber: whispers
Then why does it feel like I’m losing him?

Shayla: Because change always feels like loss… before it feels like growth.

---

Amber: wipes her tears, taking a shaky breath
I need time.

Shayla: I know. I’m not asking you to decide tonight.

Amber: looks at Kai
This is your life we’re talking about… not our pride.

Kai: quiet, brave
I love you, Mom. And I love Shayla. I don’t wanna lose either of you.

Amber: kneels in front of him
You won’t. I promise.

Shayla: nods
I swear to you, Kai—no matter where I am, you’ll always have both of us.

Amber: stands, meets Shayla’s eyes
If—if—we even consider LA, there will be rules. Shared custody. School visits. I’m involved in every decision.

Shayla: relieved but serious
That’s fair. More than fair.

Amber: And if at any point he says he’s unhappy… he comes home.

Shayla: Immediately.

Kai: small smile
Does that mean… maybe?

Amber: smiles through tears
It means we stop fighting and start figuring it out.

Shayla: extends her hand to Amber
For Kai.

Amber: after a long pause, takes it
For Kai.

The room finally goes quiet. Not because everything is solved—but because, for the first time, they’re standing on the same side.
