Chapter 37: Mathew

Short kinda sorry, and don't worry we're getting close to the wedding chapter. I promise. I hope you enjoy.

Beyoncé P.O.V.

I pulled my my car into the parking lot of Historic Forth Ward park. I looked around and not a lot of people were here, besides the Normal people that jogged the paths and the kids playing on playground area. I found my dad on a park bench looking out at the small body of water that sat in the middle of the park.

"Hey" I said approaching him. He looked up and over at me.

"I'm surprised you came" he commented looking back into the distance.

I rolled my eyes as I sat on the bench next to him. "Why wouldn't I? Your the one who wants to talk so I'm here"

"I'm just surprised that's all

I shook my head. "Dad, what's going on?"

"Beyoncé, I uh I wanted to tell you something and you can't tell your mother or your sisters" he said seriously.

I turned to him. "Umm, Okay" 

He cleared his throat. "I have lung cancer" he admitted.

"What?" I didn't even know what else to say.

"They found a tumor a couple weeks back, I didn't say anything to anyone about it, the doctors want me to have surgery to remove it when it's safe to do so"

"Dad, why are you telling me this?"

"Because.." he stood up and pulled a piece of paper from his jacket and handed it to me. "I want to leave everything to you, you can have the house and Everything in it, you know maybe start over in Texas"

"Umm Excuse me?"

Why does my family members keep trying to get me to move back to Texas. It's been years now let it go.

"Are you really happy here Beyoncé?" He asks sitting back down. "You can go back home, give up this Fantasy about whatever this so called relationship is you have with Kelly"

"Dad I have a daughter , I have a family! This is my life, how dare you try to take something serious like your life and twist it to somehow make me want to leave my family"

He sighed. "That little girl is not your daughter"

"That little girls name is Faith and she IS my daughter, I can't believe you right now, I knew better then to think that somehow you changed! You show up at my house and insult my fiancé and now your telling me that Because I'm happy I must be living a fantasy! All I've ever wanted was BOTH of my parents to accept my choices! Clearly for you that's to much to ask!"

I stood up from the bench. "And you know what! You have a family here willing to support you while your sick but now because your such a shitty person, your probably gonna die alone!" I threw the paper at him and walked away.

I got in my car and pulled out my phone so I could call my mom.

"Hey bey"

"M-mom" I cried.

"What's wrong?" She asks

I just sobbed, I couldn't even get the words out at this point. I can't believe he could say those words to me without a care in the world.

"Beyoncé, honey come home" she said I pulled out of the parking lot and started my drive home.

Kelly P.O.V.

I sat up on the couch where I had been camping out the whole day. I was shivering, the throw blanket wrapped around my shoulders. I tried to bring it closer.

"Here Kels, drink this" Tina placed a mug in my cold hands.

"Th-thank yo-you" I brought the mug to my lips and took a small sip of it. I wanted to take it slow so I didn't make myself throw up.

The front door opened and Beyoncé came storming in the living room. She looked super upset. She ran right into Tina and Tina welcomed her in her embrace.

"B-bey, wha-what happened?" I ask, attempting to go into protective mode, Key word:attempted.

"You know what I don't even wanna talk about it right now, just my dad being my dad" she brushed it off sitting on the couch next to me. 

"You su-sure?"

"Hey, what's going on?" Solange asked walking into the living room, I knew she could tell something was wrong.

Beyoncé sighed. "Umm, I went to talk to dad and he uh, he told me has cancer, lung cancer"

"What?" Tina gasped.

"Just wait there's more, if he dies he wants to hand everything over to me"

"Wow okay so just screw the rest of us then" Solange commented as she rolled her eyes.

"Why would he hand everything to you?" Tina ask.

"Uh Because he believes that me moving back to Texas and abandoning my family will somehow make me happy"

"What?"

"Yep" Bey nodded. "He told me to my face that our daughter wasn't My daughter and that I was somehow marrying Kelly and having a happy family is all a fantasy"

"B-baby, I'm so s-s-sorry" I stuttered. Beyoncé placed the blanket back around my shoulders.

"It's okay, at this point I'm use to it" she shrugged. I knew she was upset.

"You shouldn't be use to being treated like that, and I'm not letting him talk to my daughter like that"

"He's never gonna change mom, why even try anymore"

"Just because he doesn't agree with your choices doesn't mean he gets to disrespect you"

Beyoncé sighed. "I know"

"I think maybe it's time him and I have a little talk" Tina said crossing her arms over her chest.
