Jay
I got home as soon as possible when I got the call that Bey wasn't home. Solange was still in labour when Kelly called me so I had to get a taxi home and leave my car for Ma, Kay and Solange.
"Where is she?"I asked once I got into the house.
"We don't know Jay. We've been calling her ever since we saw that she was gone but she hasn't picked up,"Angie wiped her tears. I'd tried calling her too but it didn't even ring.
"How could y'all not notice that she was leaving the house? Did you not hear the door?"I sat down putting my head in my hands.
"Jay I know y'all are faking the marriage coz I set y'all up. Bey is sneaky enough to become an undercover agent. She can lie like a dog and make you believe her,"Angie crossed her legs.
"So where do you think she's gone?"they both shrugged. I didn't know too. Bey had only been in New York for six months but she barely went out. It was always here, Angie's, a restaurant or a club.
"What about Solange? Is she okay?"Kelly asked.
"She's still in labour. My ma's gonna call me when she hears anything else,"I sighed. "Y'all go. I'll stay up for her,"I laid back on the couch.
"Are you sure? We don't mind staying too,"Angie offered.
"No it's aight, I'll wait,"they nodded and stood up getting their things.
"We're really sorry Jay. Hope things get better for y'all,"Kelly apologised.
"Thanks,"they shut the door on their way out and I proceeded to go to the bedroom to freshen up and call Bey. Of course it went straight to voicemail so I left her a message:
"Bey...I don't know where you are and what you're doing but what I do know is that you're upset and you're hurting. I'm hurting too and maybe we can work through this by supporting each other as parents to a child we just lost. Please don't shut me out this time. I need you just as much as you need me. Come back Bey, I'm begging you."
I looked at my phone expecting a response from her but after twenty minutes of waiting I gave up. Instead, Ma gave me a quick text.
from Ma❣️:Solange just gave birth. Issa baby boy👶🏾
from Ma❣️:The doctor said that she can be discharged tomorrow morning too.
to Ma❣️:Thanks Ma...
from Ma❣️:Chelsea is staying with her for now. Me and Kay are coming over now
to Ma❣️:Aight
I laid in bed now waiting for Bey, Ma and Kaari. Was Bey gonna be here by the time Ma and Kay got here? I didn't know. This was the time I actually wanted to be here for her and not argue and fight her.
I heard the front door open and here my happy ass was thinking it was Bey but when I heard Kay's voice I knew she wasn't back yet. I let out a sigh of disappointment as they came into the bedroom.
"Aw Jay come here,"Kay opened her arms out and sat on the bed hugging me.
"Is this my fault? Did I make her lose the baby?"I sniffed wiping a tear.
"Shawn neither of you are to blame for this miscarriage. Maybe God didn't think y'all were ready,"Ma hugged me too. We weren't ready- truthfully. We weren't even legally married; everything was a set up.
"Where's Bey? She in the bathroom or suttin?"Kay looked around.
"She's not here,"I blew my breath.
"What you mean? Where she at?"
"I don't know. Angie and Kelly called me that she'd gone."
"Well where would she go?! Why would she leave?!"Ma exclaimed.
"How am I meant to know Ma? I left home knowing she was upstairs in here and I come back and she's missing. All I wanna do is be there for her but she wanna play hide and seek around New York,"I kissed my teeth.
"Have you called her?"
"Yes,"I kissed my teeth.
"Don't make me knock you sideways for kissing your teeth at me, Shawn. Have you gone out to look for her?"
"Where would I start? She doesn't go out as much here in New York so where would she go?"
"Well where do y'all keep the passports and all that?"Kay stood up.
"That drawer in the closet,"I pointed to the drawer visible from the bed and she got up to look.
"Oh Shawn. I'm so sorry for you,"Ma rubbed my back.
"Well how many passports y'all got? It doesn't look like anything's been touched but I may be wrong,"Kay stood on her tip toes looking through.
"Unless her US passport and French passport is gone then she hasn't left New York."
"Well she's still here. That's a sign of something. Does she know anyone else in New York?"
"She doesn't know anyone Ma,"I shook my head. All of a sudden the alarm went off as a signal that the front door was opened. Bey was the only other person apart from me, Kaari and my mom who had a key to the house so she was back. It was dark outside; the time was 09:23pm.
"Bey?"I called her name out. She opened the door of our bedroom dressed in all black looking rough. Her face had lost all colour and glow and she looked as if she was in another world. "Where've you been?"
"And what happened to you?"Kay questioned.
"Let's go Kaari so we can give them space,"Ma got up.
"Bye Jay, bye Bey,"Kaari hugged us both before Ma did and they left.
"Care to tell me where you were? I called you twenty times Bey and not once did you pick up,"I looked at her as she undressed. There were hickeys all over her neck but they could've been from this morning in the shower.
Bey stepped into the shower and didn't come out for about ten minutes. She returned in her towel wrapped around her body. Now wasn't the time to gawp over her figure. I wanted her to at least talk to me. Even her screaming would be good enough.
"Bey we both lost a child. Can we talk? I want to help you,"I begged.
She got dressed in a tank top and leggings before taking a pillow, her phone, charger and leaving [most likely to sleep in the guest bedroom].
How was I gonna get through to her???
