I tried to make home out of you
But door lead to trap doors. A stairway leads to nothing. Unknown women wonder the halls at night. You remind me of my father, a magician, able to be exist in two places at once. In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3 a.m. to lie to me. What are hiding? The past and our future merge to meet us here.
What luck, what a fucking curse.

Third Person POV
Beyoncé sat silently on the bed while her husband, well soon to be ex-husband packed his clothes."I can't believe I tried to make a home out of you" Beyoncé thought to herself.
"I can't believe she finally caught me" Jay thought to himself.
They have very different minds but that's what made them compatible. Or at least used to.
"Bey we can work this out" Jay insisted."Don't call me that." Beyoncé kept her answered short and simple.
"Don't be like that Beyoncé"
"You've got dishonesty laced all through your breath"
"I'm being honest right now"
"This stairway leads to nothing Jay"
"Baby come on" Jay pleaded.
"You just came home at 3am to lie to me. I think it's best that you leave"
•Bey POV•
When Jay finally left I went to take a shower. Showering always made me feel refreshed. It made me feel like I had a clean slate. It was now around 4:30 am. I slipped on some nike leggings and a hoodie with no shirt on under it. I couldn't stay home.I called both Kelly and Michelle but neither of them answered considering the time. So I called Nicki.
"Hello?" She answered on the third ring.
"Hey Nika what are doing?" I asked.
"What everyone does at 4 am"
"Can I spend a couple nights at your house? I can't spend anymore in mine"
"Oh of course. You know you could've just texted me right?"
"Sorry I just didn't know if you'd be up" I giggled.
"Well I am. Sorry I guess I'll see you in a few"
"Yeah" I hung up the phone. I always got nervous when I talk to Onika even though I've known her for years now.
•Onika POV•
I got so excited when Beyoncé called me.
"Aye girl wake up!" I nudged my girlfriend, Lauren."Why though?" She snapped.
"One because you have work & loose the attitude" I shrugged.
"Ugh fine" Lauren groaned.
"And get yo panties out my bed!" I yelled.
"Jesus, you act like you got another chick coming" I rolled my eyes at her comment although it was kinda true.
Lauren and I took a shower together then we brushed our teeth then she got dressed to leave. I walked her to the door."Bye, have a good day" I smiled pecking her lips.
"Bye" she smiled. I sighed and pressed my back against the door. Hundreds of thoughts swirled my mind but the ring of my door bell snapped me out of all of them. I waited a while before opening the door. I didn't want to seem thirsty. I gently opened the door. Beyoncé stood on the other side looking at her feet.
"You ok girl?" I asked snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Yeah" she said looking up at me. Her eyes and her nose were really red. I heart instantly sunk.
"No your not ok. That's ok, it's ok to not be alright. You gotta let me know these things" I sighed opening my arms for a hug. She nodded and walked into my arms for a hug."For once I thought I had it" she whispered. We walked into my living room.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No"
"Are you hungry?"
"No"
"You want me to roll you a blunt?"
She rolled her eyes before speaking, "No thank you"
"Tired?"
"Yes"
"Good because if I heard one more no I was gonna scream"
"Do you have a guest room I could maybe stay in?"
"Yeah it's up the stairs, down the hall and to the right" I instructed. She nodded taking my directions. After a few minutes I went up to check on her. The light was off but when I opened the door the tv was still on and Beyoncé was laying on her side on her phone.
"Are you just going to stand in the doorway or come in?" She asked. How does she even do that?
"Umm, if it's ok with you. I don't want to make you uncomfortable" I answered .
"No it's fine" she slid over patting the spot next to her. I slowly walked to the bed and got in laying on my back. I heard her lock her phone and put it on the nightstand. She turned over facing me then rested her head on my chest. I placed my hand on the small of her back and she put her leg over my waist. Getting comfortable we soon fell asleep.
