The Reunion

Part 4

Along the way, they listened to music and talked about the most superficial things possible, to avoid any kind of tension.
The conversation between them flowed as if they had never been away from each other. It was as if they had never broken ties, you know what I mean? It's something about heart and soul connection.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Bey let Kelly choose a place to stay and there they continued to talk...

- Bey, how are your parents and sister? And your cousin Angie, is she okay? I miss them, your dad not so much. "Kelly and Bey laughed at that remark."

Mathew, like Kelly's father, didn't handle the connection between Beyoncé and Kelendria very well. He used to tell Tina that he found it very strange how jealous his daughter was of her friend and how close they were to each other. But Tina already knew all this, but didn't get as worked up about it as her husband and Kelly's father. Not even Doris, Kelendria's mother, was stressed about it. However, Mathew was still much more malleable than Christopher. So much so that Mathew still accepted the girls playing together and sleeping in the same room, if Solange slept with them of course. But Christopher wouldn't accept it at all, which is why he was so radical as to leave with the family without a trace.

- My father had nothing against you, he just had a problem with our relationship. Hm... You know what I mean. " She tried to mention how she and Kelly felt without having to speak openly, because she didn't know how Kelly would deal with it after so long or if she still felt the same way. "

Kelly noticed that Beyoncé was a little awkward when reminiscing about the past, but she didn't know if it was because she was shy or because the blonde no longer had those feelings for her. But she was also afraid to broach the subject, but she was going to try anyway.

- Yes, I know. Your father and mine didn't accept the feelings we had for each other... "She paused before continuing. "That's why I stayed away from you for so many years. "Kelly touched on the subject that hurt her and Beyoncé. It was something that had been stuck in their throats for all those years. "When my father found out that we were in love with each other, because we were so young, he was so disgusted. He couldn't accept it for various reasons and one of them was the fear of the scandal that would be his only daughter dating another girl. So, to avoid this, he brought us to another state without telling anyone.
My father forced us to come to New Orleans, it wasn't something my mother and I knew or wanted. We didn't plan it with him, on the contrary. "As she recalled the episode, sadness briefly invaded her eyes and Beyoncé realized it."

- Why didn't you call me to at least tell me why you left?" Giselle finally asked the question that had been stuck for all this time." I suffered a lot when you left, it was torture for my heart. For a long time I thought you didn't care about me and that's why you never came back to me. " A tear was about to roll from her eyes, but Kelly wiped it away."

- Bey, when we left, my father threw my mother's address book away and along came yours.

- Why didn't you send me a letter or try anything to talk to me?

- Beyoncé, at that time things weren't so simple and my father threatened us, so my mother and I didn't try anything. After a while, I also began to believe that my father was right and you should be fine without me. So, with that, I tried to rebuild myself and move on without you.

At that moment, all of Beyoncé's doubts were cleared up. Kelly didn't come to her, but it wasn't because she didn't want to, it was because she had been forbidden to.
All that weight she had been carrying for years was falling away. Kelly had no choice and she couldn't blame her for just obeying her father. On the contrary, it showed her how much she still loved this girl and how special she was.

- Kelly, it's not your fault. I'm sorry I put that responsibility on you.
For years I thought that you had simply ignored the bond we had or that maybe you didn't really care about our friendship and that's why you didn't come to me anymore. It was very difficult to accept that idea and when I was really ready, I found you again. Now I'm here with you, not believing that all this is real.
I can't tell you how happy I was to see you again after all this time, but I still had a lot of questions stuck in my chest. Now, however, they no longer exist. Thank you for clarifying everything for me!"Beyoncé took her hand and said..." Now let's put all this behind us, bury everything bad that's happened and move on.

- I'll only agree if you promise me something.

- What?" Beyoncé was apprehensive, afraid that Kelly had something worse to say. "If you don't want to, I'll understand too. I don't want to bring any more problems into your life... " She fired off several nonsensical words because of the anxiety in her chest. "

- Bey, Bey, calm down. " She put her index finger to the blonde's lips in an attempt to calm her down so that she could say what she had to say and this simple gesture caused both of them to shiver. But they disguised it well..." Hey, calm down, you haven't even heard what I have to say. "Kelly gave her a lopsided smile before continuing. "

- I'm sorry, Kells," she said awkwardly.

- For me to accept, you'll be subject to one condition. "The suspense continued.

- What condition would that be? I want to know.

- We can't drift apart again and if that happens for any reason, we'll try to sort it out as best we can.
