Beyoncé Giselle Knowles

Continued..

Beyoncé looked down at Onika as the rain began to get heavier. She looked around their surroundings, they were in the woods—surrounded by trees and dirt that will soon be mud.

She looked back over to Onika who was cradling her ankle. "How bad does it hurt?" Beyoncé asked and Onika winced again when she tried to move it. "Real bad." She responded.

Beyoncé sighed, she needed to get Onika out of the rain but she knew for a fact they wouldn't be able to find their ways back to the cabin in the rain while being in the woods.

She did the only thing that she thought would fit.

"Put me down!" Onika shouted hitting the back of Beyoncés  back and Beyoncé ignored her as she continued to carry her.

Beyoncé had Onika over her shoulder as she carried her, "This is the most efficient way you could think of?" Onika asked, "Either that or leave you there for the wolves to eat you." Beyoncé said and Onikas hitting seized.

"T-There's wolves here?" Onika asked and Beyoncé smirked as she didn't answer and continued walking.

She eventually found a very small cave, it was so small that it wasn't even dark—the back of it was close enough to sunlight. Beyoncé thought it was okay for now, it would protect them from the rain—and it's too small to harbor any bears or wolves.

She gently placed Onika down she could lean up against the stone wall of the cave. And she sat right next to her with a sigh.

She looked down at her baggy ripped jeans that were now slightly damp with blotches of dirt on them.

She looked over to Onika who's eyes were closed and her head was tilted up. It was quiet between them, all you could hear was the rain. Beyoncé focused her attention on the green plants that were clearly trying their hardest not to be submerged in water from the rain.

Sure it was raining but it wasn't significantly harsh or cold ,it felt like a spring shower. The forest looked—pretty. The different types of greens, placed together to create such a flush environment was beautiful.

"Are you done having an attitude now that your ankles on life support?" Beyoncé asked suddenly and Onika looked at her and scoffed. Just from that action Beyoncé continued. "Guess not." She mumbled.

"I'm sorry."

Beyoncé heard. She turned slowly to see Onika, looking down, when she felt eyes on her she peered up at her.

"I'm sorry for being a bitch." Onika mumbled and Beyoncé blinked before looking back at the forestry.  "Thanks for apologizing—I'm sorry for assuming whatever happened between you and your friend was just some cat fight. I'm sure it was more serious than that." Beyoncé said and Onika looked up at her.

"It—was. To me atleast." Onika mumbled once more but Beyoncé heard it. Did that mean the other person involved didn't see it as big deal?

Beyoncé turned to her and looked at her.

"If I were to guess..you take things pretty seriously right?" Beyoncé asked and Onika nodded. Beyoncé smiled a bit.

"What if you just—had fun? For once?" Beyoncé asked and Onika rolled her eyes. "I do have —"Onika tried to cut in and Beyoncé immediately shut her up.
