Fish Out Of Water

Step In The Name Of Love

Bey's POV
"Melinda!," I exclaimed.

"Hello Beyoncé," she smiled evilly.

I tried to close the door and get away, but she just pushed it back open.

"There's no need to worry as long as you do what I say," she told me.

"Why would I ever do that?," I spat.

"Because I could blow up your friend's car with my heat powers," she told me.

"Please don't hurt her," I begged her.

"Then do what I say," she told me.

"Fine," I told her.

"Great. Now, go outside and tell your friend that you can't go to that game tonight," she told me.

"What?! I can't. My boyfriend is playing tonight! This was so important to him," I told her.

"Well, is this game more important than his life?," she asked me.

I sighed angrily and went outside.

"There you are. Come on. We're late," Kelly told me as I approached the car.

"No, you go without me," I told her.

"What do you mean?," she asked me.

"You go to the game. I don't want to go anymore," I told her.

"Jay's you boyfriend, and you love him. And it was so important to him that you be there for his big game," she told me.

"I know it was important. But I'm just not feeling it anymore. I'm just not feeling him anymore," I said.

"What do you mean you're not feeling him?," she questioned.

"I mean that while I was inside getting my purse it just hit me. I just asked myself: why was I doing all of this for him? I don't even feel like I like him like that anymore. I really think I was just vulnerable from what happened with Chris, and I needed someone to fill that whole in my heart. And Jay just happened to be there. I've really felt like this for a long time. I've just been keeping it inside for his sake. I just can't do it anymore. I fake this love for him anymore," I said to her crying on the inside because I knew how much this would hurt Jay.

"So what do you want me to tell him when he asks why you're not there?," she asked me.

"What I just said. Tell him it's over," I told her as I went back into the house.

I closed the door behind me as tears streamed out of my eyes.

"We don't have time for your crying?! We have things to do Beyoncé!," Melinda yelled at me.

"Do you not understand that I just lost the only guy I've ever cared about?! He's probably at his game now upset that I'm not there after I promised him I would be! You of all people should understand what that feels like after what happened with Eric!," I yelled at her.

I know she's really dangerous and could probably kill me right now, but I could care less because of what she just did.

"Be careful what you say Beyoncé. I hold the faith of your family and friends in my hands. I could easily let you watch your sister die a slow, painful death," she told me.

"What do you want from me?," I asked her.

"Easy. Your powers. All of them," she told me.

"If you take all of my powers, I'd be human. I'd never be able to go back into the ocean and see my family. I'd never be able to communicate with them again," I said.
