Bey POV

I Was Sitting In The Booth While Brooklyn Was Practicing Her Solo. Ms.Francis Signed Her Up For Jump Zone On Sunday. But I Had Kelly Join Me Because She Know I Could Get Bored.

"So I've Sent Off The Essay And Haven't Heard Anything Since And I Applied For CSU But Haven't Heard From Them Either...You Think They Just Tossed Me Aside ? I'm Not Gonna Get Into Either" I Said

"Girl There Are People 80 Something Graduating From College, It Just Takes Time. They Have A lot If Kids Applying There Bey"

"And What About The Scholarship? They Probably Wanna Give It To A Younger Person" I Said

Kelly Laughed "Stop Psyching Yourself Out...How's Things At Jays House?"

"It's Going , We've Been Pranking Each Other Lately...He Made Me Put Toothpaste All Over Me This Morning" I Said Rolling My Eyes

"Don't Forget Why Y'all Not Together In The First Place" Kelly Said

"I Understand You Not Liking Him When We First Divorced But We're Getting Along"

"Hmmm"

"Anyways , I Already Have A Plan For His Morning Tomorrow " I Smiled

"What You Gonna Do?" She Asked

But My Phone Began To Ring Before I Could Answer Her "Hello?" I Said Quickly Swiping To Answer

"Hey Mom We Got Outta Practice Early , Can You Come Get Me?" Corey Asked

Jay Worked A Little Late On Wednesday's So He Wasn't Available To Pick Him Up. "Yeah I'm On My Way"

I Hung Up And Told Kelly I Was Picking Up Corey So She Decided To Wait Here And Watch Brook. I Grabbed My Purse Heading Out Of The Studio To Go Across Town.

By The Time I Got There Corey Was The Only One Along With One Of His Coaches. I Parked And Got Out Quickly Running Over To Them "I'm Sorry , I Was Across Town With My Daughter" I Said

Coach Trey Laughed "It's Fine Beyoncé, We Got Out A Little Earlier Than Expected "

I Nodded "Hey Baby"

"Hey Ma" He Yawned "Bye Coach" He Said Straggling To The Car To Put His Duffle Bag In The Trunk.

"How's He Doing?" I Asked

"Good , I Can See Him Going Pro. But He Definitely Needs To Be Going To College" He Replied Smacking On His Gum.

"Of Course , My Old Self Trying To Go Back Now" I Chuckled , He Giggled.

"How's The Wedding? I Don't Remember When It Was" He Asked

"Oh...There Is No Wedding"

"Damn Got Cold Feet?" He Asked

I Giggled , Terrance Was A Good Coach And Kid Of Like A Mentor To Corey. We've Known Him Since Corey First Started Playing Football , Jay Never Liked Him Because He Knew He Liked Me. I Never Agreed , Terrance Was More Like A Uncle To Our Family.

"Nah, Just Wasn't Ready To I'm Single As A Pringle " I Laughed

He Looked Into My Eyes "Sorry To Hear That"

"I'll Get Out There Eventually But Not Now" I Smiled Weakly

He Nodded "Well I Let You Go , See Y'all Saturday "

"See Ya" I Said Walking Back To The Car , Corey Was Already In And Buckled Up.

"I'm So Hungryyyyy" Corey Exaggerated

"We Got That Spaghetti From The Other Night" I Said Starting Up The Car And Driving Out Of The Parking Lot.

He Sucked His Teeth "Mom Can We Please Pick Something Up? I Don't Want Spaghetti Again"

"We Had Spaghetti, Pizza , No You Can Eat That Spaghetti Or Make A Sandwich" I Said

"You Mean A Wish Sandwich? We Don't Even Have Sandwich Meat"

"Corey Jay" I Said Sternly

"Can We Get McDonald's Or Chick-Fil-A?"

"You Got McDonald's Money Or Chick-Fil-A Money?" I Asked Making A Right At The Light.

"Mom McDonald Right There Can-" He Stopped As We Passed It.

We Finally Pulled Up To The Studio Thirty-Five Minutes Later.

"I Don't Want To Be Here" He Whined

I Ignored Him , That's What Jay And Brook Got From Their Daddy. When They Starving They Get So Cranky.

(A/N: That's Me , Oh My God I Turn Into A Monster When I'm Hungry. I Get So Rude And Annoyed Lmfaooo I Literally Will Have My Lips Poked Out And Everything 😭)

We Walked Into The Studio And Corey Said Hey To Kelly. "She's Pretty Much Done Now" Kelly Said

We Waited For Brook To Grab Her Things So We Can Go. Once She Came Out We All Left And Kelly Went Her Separate Way. We Got In The Car And Brook Began To Whine At How Hungry She Was.

"Stop All This Damn Whining " I Said Pulling Into Chick-Fil-A

"Yesssss" They Said

I Rolled My Eyes As We Made Our Way To The Drive Through.
****
I Was Braiding Brooks Hair While We Watched Green Leaf. She Was Eating Chips While My Hands Began To Cramp.

Corey Was Sitting Next To Me On His Phone. We Heard The Door Unlocking And I Couldn't Help But Smile I Don't Know Why.

"I'm HOME!" Jay Yelled

"Ahhh! You So Loud!" Brook Said Covering Her Ears.

Jay Came Into The Living Room Running His Hands Through Corey's Hair And Touching My Back.

"Hey Y'all" Jay Said

"Oh Shit , I Forgot It Was Wednesday " He Said Jumping Over The Other Couch To Watch Green Leaf With Us.

"I Recorded Shots Fired Too" I Said

He Nodded "I Stopped To Get You Chinese"

He Smiled "Come Through...Thanks"

He Got Up Quickly Going To The Kitchen To Heat Up His Food.

I Turned My Attention Back To The Flat Screen As Brook Yelped "You Braid So Tight"

"Well I Got Grip Every Inch Of Your Hair" I Said

"Yeah All Three Inches" Corey Joked

"Shut Up!" Brook Said

Corey Laughed "My Hair Longer Than Your Little Girrrrlfrieeend"

Corey Rolled His Eyes. I Shook My Head "Shhh I'm Trying To Watch My Show" I Said

Jay Came Back In With His Food "Wait He Still Living In The Hotel?"

"Yes You Know Charity Not Gonna Let Him Sleep In Her Room" I Said

"She Lost The Other Baby" Brook Said

"Wait Not The Baby Boy Right?" Jay Asked

"She Had The Baby Boy Brook Is Talking About The Other Twin" I Explained

"Ohhh" Jay Said

"The Grandma Tryna Have The Gay Singing Guy Fired" Corey Chimed In

"I Ain't On That Gay Mess But He Was Cool"
Jay Said

After I Finished Brooks Hair Green Leaf Was Over And I Sent Her And Corey To Bed. Corey Didn't Have To Go To Sleep But He Did Have To Be In Bed.

"Can You Put On Shots Fired?" Jay Asked , I Nodded As I Put It On Cleaning Up The Hair Stuff.
