🤍25: All Hope Is Lost🤍

Beyoncé

"Ooooooooohhhhhhh." I cried, falling into Ella's lap again. "All hope is lost."

"Calm down." Joann replied as she patted my head.

"No!. I will not calm down!." I yelled. I stood up from Ella's lap for a second to give the girl a devilish glare, before going back to my little breakdown on Ella's lap.

"Bey, you acting like you done lost your damn mind." Megan said as she came down stairs. She'd been in the bathroom. I didn't reply because I just couldn't and I told my self I'd ignore her til Barbie talks to me again.

"Well.. You put her in this condition." Di said walking into the living room with a bucket of chicken wings in her hand. She was the least concerned about my current predicament. Infact about anything that concerns me, I felt like she felt insulted after the way I responded to her the day I called to ask for their help. To be honest, she has the worst luck when it comes to finding love, but her pride won't let her take dating advices.

"And I'm sorry." Meg pouted, stroking my hair. I just ignored her and let a tear fall down my cheek. Barbie's never ever going to talk to me again.

"Aiit, look Bey, as much as I don't care, you're still my friend and I can't watch you sit here and mope over someone who doesn't care what's up with you right now. But then again, I don't do love.. I can't force you. If you wanna mope you free to mope. Its all on whatchu wanna do right now." She shrugged. She was always so blunt and weird with her advices and words in general but either way they sunk in.

I sat up and wiped my face. "I wanna go see Barbie. She doesn't want to speak to me but she'll have to choice to once I go see her myself." Everyone had a smile on their face.

"Atta girl." Joann grinned.

"Okay, where she at?." Diamonté asked.

"Tennessee."

"Then that's where we're heading. Everyone has two weeks to prepare themselves." She smiled. Everyone else nodded as I gave her a hug.

"Thank you."

"Puhlease, it's what besties do."  She smiled hugging me back. "Now go wash your face, you look like a tornado hit you." she smiled. I swatted her arm, earning a low chuckle before going upstairs to the bathroom.

I splashed water on my face and looked in the mirror.

"Why do you love her?." I asked myself. I saw no reason to, yet I did. She could care less about me but I could kill for her, I can't stand her presence at times but its torture when she's away. I leaned on the sink, burying my head in my hands. I didn't understand my feelings for her but it's calming.

And just like that, my phone began ringing. Ruining the moment.

I picked it up and looked at the caller ID, Shawn.... Seriously?.

I rolled my eyes and picked up the call.

"Hey Bey, wassup."

"Heh, hi." I replied dryly.

"So you got any plans today, I could come over, make you dinner, yunno-"

"Uh look Shawn, there's something I gotta tell you." I voiced out before he could finish. It was now or never. Keeping the type of relationship we had with him was just going to lead him on more. Time to end the games, zero fucking, no cooking for me just casual friendship.

"Well spill, what is it?."

Wait- I'm not sure if I'm gonna get her. What if I end things with him and then she rejects me, he's my second option.

"Bey?. You okay?, say something."

I took deep breath and closed my eyes to steady my thoughts. I'm leaving good dick for her, if she denies me I'll be broken. But either way, it's time to end it.

"I- there's someone in my life now. We- let's just be friends." I sighed. The line went silent for some time. Shawn always believed he had some hope of getting back together since there was no one in my life, he never said it but his actions did. He always inquired if I was still single, cooked for me after we fucked and always assured me he was here if I wanted to talk, I wasn't sure on the signs but the looks in his eye assured me. I couldn't just play with the man's feelings, with or without Barbie in my life, its never gonna be the same between us again, I had to tell him.
I bit the inside of my cheek awaiting his response.

"Oh well... Okay. Who is it tho?."

"Y'all, I think I'm in love." I wrinkled my face and looked at her like she took drugs.

"Ooouuuu who's the lucky guy?." Amala squealed.

"Correction.. Unlucky." I smiled. Whoever it is, he was buying himself a whole lot of trouble. She glared at me before turning her face back to Amala.

"He's a friend of mine, Kayden. He's trans." She smiled. Amala smiled bigger. I just stood there, really impressed. "We were really close friends two years ago before his full transformation, back when he was still Mckayla. He moved to Italy with his family and I stopped hearing about him until i bumped into him at that outing I had with Denise and Dasani. We talked, caught up and he told me all about his journey, he's fully transformed. We hung out a bunch of times after that, remember that period where I was out all day?."

"I knew you were going to meet someone special." I squinted looking at her.

"Yeah, today he called me up and said he was coming to get me, that he had something important to say. I got dressed, he came and he took me to lunch then we went to his place and he told me he loved me and that he came back just to see me. I was dumbfounded but yeah.. It happened." She blushed tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He really had her locked.

"Awwwww, I'm sooo happy for you." Amala squealed pulling her into a hug.

"Thank you. I really hope we work out."

"You guys will." Summer said, opening her arms for a hug. Ming smiled and hugged her, for the first time. I'm shocked but proud.

They pulled away from the hug and Ming walked up to me. Ah, the moment I've been waiting for since I heard the news a minute ago. Ming and I don't get along all the time, but our sister bond can't be broken. She understands and loves me as her elder sister and I'd fight for her anyday, and as her closest family member she's about to see if I'm cool with her relationship.

I stood on my feet and looked her in the eye trying to look as stern as possible. I felt the nervousness in her movement and took her hands in mine. She looked at me and I smiled, pulling her into a hug.

"I'm happy for you sis." She smiled and hugged me too. The hug lasted a while before I pulled away. "One question tho."

"What is it?."

"Will there be a wedding soon?." I teased, wiggling my eyebrows.

"Oh shut up." She playfully rolled her eyes and pulled me into another hug, I smiled and embraced her.

"This is soo cute." Amala said with puppy eyes.

"Yeah.. Go make dinner." I smiled.
