Unconditional Oceans (MegYoncé)

22

Omniscient

Anthony watches the car pull into his long driveway with a small smile.

He's wanted to reconcile with her for a long time.

It's been almost 5 years since Joseph's unfortunate and untimely passing and she hasn't spoken to him since...

She hops out of the car and walks up to her uncle with an emotionless expression on her face.

She doesn't want to be here.

She hates this man for what he did and what he stands for.

She wouldn't even be here if her friends didn't call him to bail that reprehensible demon out of jail as a "birthday gift".

Her 20th birthday is in a few days and she can't even enjoy it.

"Good to see you, Megan." The tall man says stepping aside to let her enter his mansion.

"I still don't fuck with you, Tony." She says brushing past her uncle into the spacious foyer.

"I figured as much since you haven't answered any of my calls in the past few years." He chuckles awkwardly.

"You got my dad killed so... Nothing to talk about."

"Megan, I swear to you I had no idea what your father was walking into..." Anthony tells her.

She has an impossible time believing that.

Her uncle keeps tabs on everything.

He would never be blindsided by an ambush like that.

"Yeah, okay. Where is she?" Megan asks impatiently.

"She's underground." He says ominously as he leads Megan to what is effectively a dungeon underneath his home.

She lays her eyes on Caresha for the first time in years.

She sits on the concrete floor, chained to the wall like a slave.

The conditions are far worse than the Dallas County Jail and Megan chuckles at the sight.

Good.

She's been in this dark chamber since Glo and Latto dropped her off.

5 days ago.

Megan took her time coming here.

She had to mentally prepare herself to see Anthony; The man she blames for her father's death.

And to see Caresha; Her assaulter. A bitch she thought was her friend.

She thought they ended things on good terms. When in reality, this bitch was a fucking snake.

The last time they saw each other, Caresha told Megan that her mother was moving them away due to her 'behavioral issues'.

She failed to mention that the 'behavior' was her giving Megan the Bill Cosby special and intentionally conceiving Mason.

"Why did you do that to me?" Megan asks her.

She still can't wrap her head around Caresha's actions.

"I wanted your money." She sighs like Megan's question is exhausting to her.

"You never even asked me for any money."

"Your uncle explained that the money went to your mother because you were a minor... then he paid me to go away." Caresha says looking past Megan to the man standing behind her.

He doesn't bat an eye at the accusation.

Because it's true.

He swore to his brother he would keep an eye on his niece if anything happened to him.

When his watchful eye uncovered that Caresha had gotten pregnant, he made the problem go away.

So he thought.

He paid the Brownlees $10,000 and agreed to let them live if they disappeared.

If Caresha weren't such a fuck up, she never would have gotten arrested and Megan never would have gotten the phone call to pick up Mason.

"You knew what she did to me?" Megan asks Anthony in a calm, unwavering voice that reminds him of his brother.

Megan bares a remarkable resemblance to her father.

It's almost as if he's in the room.

"I initially thought it was consensual. I didn't find out what " He says honestly.

If he had known what really happened, Caresha would be a distant memory.

The only reason he spared her back then is because she came across to him as a dumb, 17 year old kid who just wanted a come up.

"But you knew I had a child out there?" She questions.

"I did." He answers.

"And you didn't think to fucking tell me that?"

"Megan, you were... not in a good place..." He says.

She stares at him.

She's standing in the room with the two people that have betrayed her the most.

"I'm sure as fuck not in a good place right now either, am I?" She questions narrowing her eyes, squinting at her uncle. "You let my child be with this weirdo for three fucking years. Who knows what she did to him..."

"I was trying to protect you. You're my blood..." Anthony says, clearly starting to feel bad about the way he handled this.

He fears he'll never be able to fix this relationship.

The only piece he has left of his brother is staring at him like he's the scum of the earth.

"You should have been protecting Mason. He's your blood, too, but you don't actually give a fuck about blood. You just like to be the puppet master and control every fucking thing." Megan says angrily, walking away.

"Megan, what about her?" Anthony questions in reference to their chained up captive.

"I don't give a fuck. Both of y'all can rot in hell." She says stopping briefly to lock eyes with Caresha. "If, for some reason he lets you live, don't contact me or Mason ever. Or I'll make you wish you had died a long fucking time ago."
