Episode 21: New York
Bey POV
February 26th
——————————————————

The plan was simple.

A visit. That's it.

We were going to see the old witch, let her get the surgery, stay a few days, then come back home. Everyone was pretty much normal about it, we weren't crying or worried because honestly jay's mother was a bitch to all of us. Especially to jay, he just always made excuses for her because well that's his mom but me? Oh fuck her!

NEW YORK ~ AIRPORT

We touched down in new york and I for one hated airports. Too cold. Too rushed. Too broke. Reminds me of my childhood- wait no jay's I was still rich.

Like me the kids were annoyed. The younger twins were whining, blue had an attitude, and the older twins were mia.

Bl: I don't like airports. It's got this weird smell, I dont know what it is.

B: It's the smell of poor honey

G: mommy!!! My legs hurt

B: Girl I'm wearing heels please!

Kalani walked silently beside me, headphones on, eyes scanning everything. Then Khalil was glued to his phone.

B: You gone look up or do you plan on walking into a pole?

Kh: I'm texting Amyra.

I peeked to see he immediately snatched his phone away.

Kh: mom!

B: damn, what yall talking about?

Kh: nothing!!!

B: mkay

Jay walked ahead, kinda quiet. He was a bit upset because he thinks this is another one of his mother's antics and so do I but we gon see.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Gloria looked smaller than I remembered. Still sharp. Still mean. Still her. But pale. Tubes. Machines humming like they were gossiping.

Gl: Well how nice of you to visit your mother after five years

J: Hey mom

He said dryly.

Gl: and you brought my kids

J: You asked

She looked at me.

Gl: I didn't ask for you

I smiled politely. The kind of smile that meant I was five seconds from violence.

B: You're welcome

The kids hovered awkwardly. Blue whispered to Kalani.

Gl: You had two more?

B: oh no, I remarried these are my kids

J: but I still treat them like mines

He pulled the younger twins in closer. I smiled.

Gl: Not surprised

Bl: was she always this mean or is this the sickness talking?

Blue failed to whisper, I popped her.

B: shut it up!

Gl: I heard that.

Blue shrugged.

Bl: Oh..?

I blew my breath. The kids weren't that close to gloria because well she's a bitch so...
