CHAPTER FOUR

A day later , Beyonce was picking Bryelle up from her mom's house to come stay with her for a week. She was a nervous wreck all the way up to this moment.

She cleaned the house the night before like she was crazy until it was absolutely spotless, even though Bryelle has no high expectations of the place since she's been over there multiple times before. 

Shawn, since he was back in the house, and Brannon watched her clean until it took Shawn to physically take the cleaning utensils from her hands and sent her to bed. She was still awake until nearly three in the morning from the nerves.

Now she was waiting for Bryelle to come outside to meet her. They agreed that she would stay with Beyonce for a week or so, try it out, and give her a chance.

It would definitely take time for them both to decide if Bryelle would permanently move in with Beyonce, so as of now, she would take the week.

She looked over and saw Bryelle coming out the house, carrying a duffle bag over her shoulder. Beyonce sighed and said a silent prayer for this week to have a good outcome before she unlocked the car.

Bryelle opened the trunk to put her bag inside and she too said a silent prayer, but instead of a good outcome, that she will A, hold off from popping off on Beyonce, and B, hoping this week will end soon.

Unlike Beyonce, Bryelle was definitely not eager to build a mother-daughter relationship with Beyonce. The only reason she agreed with this stay in the first place was because she was honestly curious and because she didn't have the heart in the moment to say no.

She got in the passenger seat of the car, she could immediately see the nervous state Beyonce was in by the way she was gripping the steering wheel with one hand and twisting her ring on her finger.

"Hey, Bry. How are you?" Beyonce asked, trying to lessen the tension between the two.

"Best as a person who's been lied to for their entire life can be." Bryelle responded in a spiteful tone. "Hangin' in there, y'know?" Beyonce sighed at the reply as she knew this is how the rest of the week would be.

Come to think about it, they acted just a like and Bryelle got her attitude and shady behavior from Beyonce. If you asked anyone, they would tell you straight up that Beyonce was very much shady and had a slight attitude problem. She wouldn't agree with them though.

The drive to Beyonce's was silent and awkward. Neither of them had much to say. Bryelle was staring down, typing away on her phone in a vigorous manner, while Beyonce was regretting the fact she made the offer in the first place.

When they pulled up to Beyonce's, Bryelle didn't even wait a second before she jumped out the car to grab her stuff from the trunk and started walking up to the front door. Beyonce sighed as she watched Bryelle walk away. She This week was undoubtedly gonna be hectic, but it was definitely crucial for them if a relationship was going to be built between the two.

She got out the car and followed Bryelle into the house. When she walked in, Shawn and Brannon were coming downstairs.

"Auntie Bry!" Brannon said, coming to rush into his aunt's arms. When he did that, Bryelle, Shawn, and Beyonce all gave each other a look. Bryelle mainly looked at Beyonce, her expression saying 'What you gone' tell him?' as she embraced her nephew , who was actually her brother.

"Hey, Branny!" Bryelle said, matching his excited energy. She hugged him and then picked him up, spinning him around.

Beyonce watched them interact with each other and she smiled to herself. Brannon loved the hell out of Bryelle and she prayed that wouldn't change when she finally decides to tell him the truth. Knowing Brannon, though, he'd probably love her even more.
