The Wife

Chapter 14:Where Do we Go From Here

Kelly.

My eyes fluttered open. I couldn't move probably from the anesthesia. I looked over and saw Beyoncé and her giant ass face staring at me.

"Heyy" she spoke softly.

"Hi" I croaked. I felt so tired yet wanted to be awake so bad.

"Did it go well? Am I okay now?" I asked barely over a whisper.

"Yeah it went well" she said putting her hand on top of mine. When she noticed that I noticed. She moved it away.

" Uhh the doctor said you could be discharged by tomorrow. He's just keeping you here to monitor you"

"Okay " I say as I try to get into more of a sitting position. Beyoncé came over and helped me. If I wasn't so drugged up I'd push her away.

"Do you want me to stay here with you tonight because I will but if you don't want me to I'll go"

"No I'll be okay. I think I can manage"

"Okay" she nodded. She still had that lost sad puppy look in her eyes.

She stood up and moved the chair she was sitting at back in the corner of the room. "Welp I guess I'll see you around" she said.

"Yeah"

Just before she made it out of the door. I stopped her. "Beyoncé?"

"Yeah?" She turned her head towards me.

"Thank you"

"It's all part of my job" she said walked out.

Job as in your obligation to me? Or job as in your job job. Pretty sure she meant her actual job.

I sighed heavily. I looked around to find my phone on the table next me. I picked it up and texted Tim.

Me: hey umm so I'm in the hospital and I was wondering if you go over and help Solange with Faith for a while,

Tim: What happened? Are you okay?

Me: Kind of almost bleed out and died. Just got out surgery and I need you to step up and help out.

Tim: where's Beyoncé?

Me: There is no more Beyoncé.

Tim: broke up?

Me: Yes just please go over and help Solange with Faith for a while.

Tim:no I'm coming to check on you. Be there soon.

I shook my head. That's not what I asked you to do. Ugh whatever no sense in stopping him now.

I set my phone aside and decided it would probably be a good idea if I took a little nap while I waited for him.

Later on that night.

I opened my eyes and saw Tim come in.

"Hey what took you so long?" I asked lightly laughing.

"I picked up these for you" he said and showed me the bouquet of flowers that he probably bought from the gift shop downstairs.

"They're cute"

"How're you feeling?" He asked pulling up a chair and sitting down next to the bed.

"Tired and sore"

"Want me to do anything?"

"No I'll be fine"

"So what's going on with you and Bey"

I rolled my eyes just thinking about the situation.

"Well" I sighed. "She cheated on me Tim"

"What?"

I nodded. "Yep"

"I'm sorry Kelly you don't Deserve that"

"I know that's why I had no choice but to just end it, she told me it didn't mean anything but it hurts. Like I wanted to marry her and have more kids with her and now that can't happen. I don't trust her anymore. How could I?"

"Have you talked to her?" He asked. "Without yelling?" He added.

"No and I really don't wanna talk it through like you cheated on me. I don't think I could forgive her for that. Ever" I said sadly.

"But the other part of me still loves her you know. Like I want her to be the Beyoncé I fell in love with but she's just not anymore"

I started to cry and Tim took my hand. "Well you know I'll always be here for you no matter what"

"I know and that's why I wanted you here"

"I'll stay as long as you want me to"

"Really?" I said wiping my eyes.

"I don't have anymore else to be" he said.

The rest of the night we spent just talking and talking. He even made me laugh genuinely laugh. It was nice to have someone I knew I could trust and open up to. The only other person I could trust had now lost that trust.

The next morning

Beyoncé

I drove back to the hospital this morning for one I had to work in like an hour but I wanted to check on Kelly before she was discharged. I parked my car. I walked in and headed straight for her room.

I walked in and she was up and around.

"Hey" I say walking in.

She turned towards me. "Oh hi"

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine" she said shortly. "Don't you have to work soon?"

She remembered my schedule. Huh? Interesting.

"Yeah, just thought I'd come in and check on you first"

"Beyoncé I'm fine" she put her hands on her hips.

"Okay, I'm just trying to be nice"

"Well stop" she said rolling her eyes at me. This is the thanks I get for literally saving your life. Okay cool.

"Hey Kels you ready to go?" I turned and there was Tim. He pushed in a wheelchair with him.

"Oh hey Beyoncé"

"Yeah I'm ready Can you take the discharge papers to the front desk for me?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah I'll be right back" he said and left.

"You called Tim?"

"Yeah so" she said slowly walking past me carrying her bag that I had brought for her to the hospital. "Why does it matter?"

"I just-"

"Just what? Thought I would magically forgive you after you saved my life?

"No I just thought you'd be at-least a little nicer to me"

"Well you thought wrong. I thought I told you that me forgiving you will be on MY terms"

I crossed my arms. "Okay Kelly" I shook my head.

She sat down in the wheelchair. "You don't get to me mad at me. Your the one who stepped out not me"

"Are you ready?" Tim asked again appearing behind Kelly. She gave me one last "Try me" look.

"Yes" She said. "Goodbye Beyoncé" and just like that we were back to where we started. Great.
