Beyoncé Woke Up Seeing Shawn Asleep On The Other Couch. He Looked So Tired But She Had To Use The Restroom And Could Barely Get Up. He Turned On His Side Letting Out Light Snores.
"Shawn" She Called. "Hmmm?" He Groaned.
"I Have To Pee" She Said.
She Watched As He Remained In The Same Spot Not Moving A Inch "Shawn" She Called Again. He Inhaled Getting Up To Pick Her Up Bridal Style "Oop" She Said With A Light Chuckle.
Once She Finished He Picked Her Up Again Placing Her Back On The Couch "Thank You" She Said Letting Out A Sigh. "You Want Something To Eat?" He Asked.
"I'm Not Hungry" She Said Looking Down At His Hands To See Scabs All Over His Knuckles. "What Happened To Your Hands?" She Asked.
He Looked Down At Them "Oh Nothing, I'm Good"
"Your Hands Were Perfectly Fine Yesterday" She Said. Shawn Bent His Head Trying To Come Up With A Quick Lie. "What Did You Do Last Night?" She Asked Making Sure He Didn't Do What She Thinks He Did.
"I Had To Beyoncé" He Confessed. Beyoncé Shook Her Head "I Told You Leave It Alone"
"I'm Not About To Let Him Get Away With Some Shit Like This"
"I'm Not Your Problem Anymore" She Said Looking Into His Eyes. He Looked Away "Doesn't Matter, I'll Always Protect You"
She Swallowed Hard "I Can't Believe You...I Mean Is He Okay?"
"Is He Okay? That's What Your Asking Right Now?!" Shawn Shot. "Not Like That, He's Still Alive?"
"Yeah And You Won't Have To Worry About Seeing Him Again. I Promise You That"
Beyoncé Looked At Him "Thank You"
"It's No Problem" He Said. She Reached For His Hands Slowly Grazing The Wounds As He Hissed. "Sorry...Did You Treat It?"
"Yeah, It Hurt Like A Bitch" He Said As They Laughed. "I Can't Believe You Beat Him Up"
He Looked At Her As She Continued To Examine His Hands. "Did He Put His Hands On You?"
"Didn't Get A Chance To" He Said. "Still My Hero" She Whispered. "Huh?" He Asked.
"Nothing" She Said. "I'ma Order Some Food" He Said Pulling Out His Phone "You Sure You Don't Want Anything?" He Asked.
"No, I Told You I'm Fine" She Replied Laying Back.
Shawn Ended Up Calling The Girls Making Sure To Do So Outside. He Knew They Would Pick Up On The Background. In The Middle Of Talking His Food Came So He Ended The Call Going Inside.
"Mmm That Smells Good" Beyoncé Said As He Sat Down Next To Her Pulling Out His Food. "Did You Even Wash Your Hands?"
He Looked At Her "My Hands Clean"
Beyoncé Shook Her Head Sitting Indian Style Turning The Television On While He Pulled Out His Phone Digging Into It As Her Stomach Began To Grumble. Shawn Looked Over At Her "What?" She Asked.
He Chuckled "You Want Some?"
Beyoncé Smirked Eating Some Of His Food "Wait Can You Get A Fork?"
"Just Use Mine" He Shrugged. Beyoncé Frowned "You Be Kissing And Doing God Knows What With That Girl"
He Chuckled "You Don't Have To Worry Trust Me"
She Took His Fork Eating Some Of His Eggs Then Pancake. He Shook His Head "Y'all Always Eating My Shit"
She Giggled "Cause It Always Looks Good"
He Chuckled As She Practically Ate The Rest Of His Food. They Looked At Each Other Smiling. Shawn Turned His Attention To The Television While His Phone Began To Ring. He Looked Down At The Caller I.D Locking His Phone Causing Beyoncé Eyebrow To Arch.
"Your Girl?" She Asked.
"I'm Going To Take A Shower, You Good?" He Asked Getting Up From The Couch. "Mhm" She Said.
Beyoncé Pulled Out Her Phone Scrolling Through Her Instagram To See Videos Of Tae Beating Her Up. Her Eyes Widen As She Continued To Watch. The Person That Was Recording Had To Be Across The Street Based Off Of The View. "Oh My God" She Whispered. It Was Everywhere, Blogs, Fanpages, People Trying To Figure Out Who She Was. But Since The Video Was So Blurry They Couldn't Tell For Sure.
She Deactivated Her Account And Deleted The App. She Went To Her Camera Looking At Her Face That Still Looked Bad. How Could Something Like This Happen To Her? How Could She Get To This Point In Her Life? The Woman That She Was Looking At Didn't Look Like Her At All.
Beyoncé Bit Down On Her Bottom Lip Keeping Herself From Crying. She Looked Down At Her Hand To See The Tattoo That Tae And Her Got Done Years Ago. Her Mind Began To Go Blank As She Stared At The Heart Beat Symbol On Her Finger.
"You Need To Get Some Basic Soap, Got Me Smelling Like Flowers And Shit" Shawn Said As He Scrolled Through His Phone Joining Her On The Couch.
"Huh?" Beyoncé Asked Snapping Back To Reality.
"Never Mind"
"I Think You Should Go Home, I Can Take Care Of Myself Now. Thank You" She Said.
"I'm Not Leaving You Beyoncé"
"I Want To Be Alone Shawn" She Said Softly.
"Well I'm Not Doing Tha-"
"I'm All Over The Internet And I'm Trying To Keep It Together With You Here. So Please Leave"
"What Do You Mean Your All Over The Internet?"
"Someone Recorded Tae And I" She Said.
"What?"
"Just Go"
Shawn Wrapped His Arms Around Her "Let It All Out" He Said In Her Ear. It Was The Same Words She Told Him When He Was On The Verge Of Breaking Down. Just Years Ago They Sat On The Floor Of His Home Of Ten Plus Years While He Screamed His Lungs Away.
Beyoncé Shook Her Head As The Tears Began To Fall "Let It Out Bey...It's Okay"
Beyoncé Began To Scream Letting Out All Of The Emotions That's She Held Onto For The Last Couple Of Months. Even Some Things From When She Was A Teenager. He Rubbed Her Back Whispering Sweet Things In Her Ear. The Tears Fell Like Waterfalls As Her Face Turned Completely Red.
Beyoncé Released From The Hug Wiping Her Face. "Stop Pretending You Don't Need Anyone...I Know We're Separated But We've Been Together Too Long For Me To Stop Caring About You Beyoncé Because I Won't"
"I've Done You So Bad And Yet Your Still Here...Why" She Said As Tears Fell Down Her Cheeks.
"I Can't Stay Away From You Beyoncé...Your Heart Is A Magnet To Mine. You've Done Some Fucked Up Shit But...I Can't Let You Go...In Terms Of Helping You Of Course"
She Smiled Lightly "Thank You Shawn, I'll Make It Up To You. Send You On Vacation-"
"Just Continue To Be A Great Mom" He Said Softly.
