GONE

Part 2

Beyoncé

I ran to my door locking it quickly so Lyn couldn't get inside. I walked away slowly almost tripping over a pile of clothes. My hands were shaking so bad I had to clasp them together to stop it.

Looking down I looked at my now ripped shirt due to him grabbing me I closed my eyes in hopes that this would turn into a bad dream but it didn't. It never did.

"Beyoncé get your ass out here. Ima beat yo ass when I get in there." He screamed kicking and banging on the door. Still, I kept my eyes closed. I never expected to be living like this. Never in a million years. When I was younger, I used to imagine myself; this hardworking, strong entrepreneur, possibly a wife and mother. And now, I look at myself and wonder where I went wrong.

"Mommy!" I looked at my son who was in the corner with his little hands covering his ears. He was crying which broke my heart. Lyn had thrown him in here a few moments ago when I begged him to. He had enough decency to seclude him from us. I couldn't have him watch me get my ass beat.

"It's ok, baby. Please don't cry." I hurried over to him crouching down and squeezing him in a comforting way. Lyn banging on the door only made him cry harder. I hated to see my son cry.

We sat there together scared of Lyndall coming in here and hurting both of us. I closed my eyes in hopes that this may all just be a dream.

"Beyoncé!" He yelled on the other side of the thin wall.

"Beyoncé!" I heard someone yell right in my ear. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. My vision was still blurry but I could see a silhouette standing before me. I closed my eyes. I didn't get much sleep last night so I was so I was still exhausted.

"Beyoncé!" They said again. This person just didn't want me to rest.

"What?" I lifted my head off of the pillow and looked at whoever was yelling my name. When I saw it was Kelly I got upset. With Kelly being my best friend, she knows I hate being woken up from my sleep. Which is why she just laughed at my grumpy expression. A slight aroma of bacon and eggs flowed threw the room.

"Jordan came into my room saying he was hungry and that you wouldn't wake up. So I decided to make breakfast."

"Mommy food." He clapped his hands and laughed. Kelly and I nursed out in laughter.

"He's just like you... Greedy." I just shrugged and sat up fully exposing my upper body, that was only covered by a flimsy camisole.

"You can come down whenever you are ready. Me and him are going to be eating in the kitchen. Ain't that right jj?" He nodded still smiling and they disappeared into the hallway.

After a while, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. After I finished my business I washed my hands and brushed my teeth. I put on a pair of shorts to cover my bare legs before walking downstairs into the kitchen.

When I got there. I saw Kelly and Jordan sitting at the island eating breakfast together. They were laughing at whatever. It made me happy that they were already bonding with each other.

Deciding to help myself, I grabbed a plate, and filled it with many of the delicious breakfast foods, all of which still on the stove, nice and hot.

I sat next to Jordan at the island who already had a lot to tell me.

"Guess what mommy?"
