Thick & Thin

Chapter Twenty-Eight; Sister, Sister

(Days Later)

"BEE YAWWN SAAAY can you open up the door sometime todaaaay?" Michelle sang out and kicked at the bottom of the door, feeling her fingers going numb. The grocery bags she carried filled to capacity were wearing her tiny arms down.

Somewhat inseparable over the past few weeks, Kelly stood beside her giggling. "You know that girl is crippled, stop playing." she added not doing any better with the load she was holding. A duffle bag full of overnight clothes for the both of them.

"Crippled -my ass, she can walk just fine."

Kelly shook her head; smiling to herself. 'Same 'ol Chelle.' Their friendship couldn't have been mended at a better time. Ever since Kelly 'left' home as she liked to refer to it, Michelle had been right by her side and willingly opened up her home to a friend in need. Luckily, Michelle was able to fall out of her funk and get her head on straight also with the company around. They were more than elated when they found out Beyoncé had been released from the hospital.

The door swung open and they looked up adoringly at the figure standing before them.

"I swear, you might as well move in with the chick if you're always going to be here." Michelle joked and brushed past Shawn. Kelly laughed and followed her. "Where's B?"

"Hey Shawn, How ya doin?" He said sarcastically before closing the door; referring to their terrible mannerisms. "And she's upstairs."

Leaving the grocery bags in the kitchen; they headed upstairs to Beyoncé's room where they found her laying in the bed watching TV. "Hey yall." Sheepishly, she greeted them and continued flipping through the channels.

"Hey My-Bee!" Kelly cooed and jumped in the bed with her. Beyoncé was completely aware of the changes that had taken place since her little mishap and was definitely cool with the fact that Kelly had came to her senses about who her true friends are.

Michelle accompanied them on the opposite side, leaving B in the middle of the two; looking like the three bears. "What are y'all doing here?"

"Self proclaimed girl's night!" Kelly fluffed a pillow behind her and rested her back against the headboard.

"humph. We haven't done that in a while."

"I know, so big-face has to bounce." Michelle added.

Beyoncé let out a breathy giggle; clutching her stomach.

Even though she hated the nickname Michelle had given Shawn, she couldn't deny the humor in it. "Shut up!" she plucked her shoulder and continued. "He's suppose to be going somewhere anyway! Good thing y'all showed up, Brendan's with Terrell- and I was not about to sit up in here by myself."

"And where exactly were you going to go Beyoncé?" Michelle squinted sarcastically reminding her that her car was totaled.

Beyoncé smacked her lips and looked at Michelle trying her best to hide the grin on her face. "You got one more time!"

Michelle grinned like a chestier cat and hugged her. "You know I'm just playing!" She sat up and looked around. "So what's first?"

"I don't know what'd y'all bring?"

"Half the grocery store and some old movies!" Kelly voiced admiring her nails meticulously.

After deciding to pop in a movie and stuff their faces with junk food all at the same time, they got up and headed down the steps.

Clearly on his way out, Shawn ran into them in the foyer.

"You leaving already?" Beyoncé stopped in front of him while the other two went on ahead minding their business- or so she thought.
