Can't Change the Past

Shawn POV

"Dam."
"That's all you have to say?"
"What you expect me to say?"
"A little more than 'dam'. I mean I just told you the woman-"
"Told me what? Cause I think I didn't hear you right. Repeat that for me."
"Shawn, Karen isn't your mother. G-"
"Dam man I can't believe this shit! You know I always had a feeling that she wasn't my mom."
"Really?"
"..... hell no! Beyoncé get out of here with that mess man."
"Shawn I'm-"
"How you just go and make some shit up like that?"
"I'm not!"
"On the day of my father's fucking funeral?"
"Shawn I'm telling you the truth."
"Nah you ain't. Look I know you don't get along with her but to make some wild shit up like that is unnecessary."
"I have better things to do than to make up lies about who your real mother is."
"Yo shut up, forreal. You're pissing me off."
"Shawn-"
"Don't touch me!" I yanked away from her. "MA! MAMA!" I yelled looking for her.
"What's going on over here?" she asked. Meghan came over as well.
"Tell her. Tell her the dumb shit you just told me!"
"You really think she's going to just come out and say it? She's been lying to you for 28 years!"
"You my real mom?"
"What kind of que- yes!"
"Then why is she telling me you're not?!"
"You know that girl has had it out for me for the longest! She's just trying to take you away from me!"
"For the last time. I. Don't. Want. Him. You need to tell him Karen."
"There's nothing to tell. He's my son."
"Really? Mr. Carter told you to tell him but you kept dodging it which is why he told me to do it!"
"Why are you telling him lies about me Beyoncé?!!"
"You know I'm not lying. His dad-"
"Don't bring him into this." he said through clenched teeth.
"Too dam bad because he's in it. He's the one who told me to tell you!"
"Why would he choose you out of all people?"
"Because Karen for dam sure ain't doing it obviously." she said rolling her eyes.
"I don't believe you. Once again, you're lying to me."
"Again?" she said with her face scrunched up.
"You've made up elaborate stories before."
"You need to leave." Meghan said. "You're upsetting everyone here."
"This doesn't concern you."
"Anything involving the father of my child concerns me."
"That's still up for debate but go off I guess."
"Beyoncé-"
"You really need to shut your mouth before I shut it for you." Beyoncé said getting in her face before I dragged her away.
"I said y'all not doing that shit today and I meant that!"
"I have never in my life lied to you! Never! So why the hell would I start now?!"
"You've never lied?"
"You know what? Fuck you." a tear escaped but she wiped it away.
"You did that already." I smirked.
She punched me in my chest and that shit hurt. She tried to keep going but I grabbed her hands and we started arguing getting louder and louder.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Aunt V said coming over to break us up. "You two stop it. This is not the time or the place to be fighting each other. Shawn you're grieving and taking shit out on everybody."
"Aunt V she's lying on my mom! I'm not taking that shit!"
"Boy watch how you speak to me!" she said plucking my ear. "Both of y'all need to cool off before anything else is said that can't be taken back."
"Too late." Beyoncé said. "Here." she said digging in her little purse and shoving an envelope in my hands.
"What's this for?"
"Read it dumb ass! It'll tell you the same shit I just did!"
"I'm not reading some dumb ass paper you wrote to try and convince me of this stupid ass lie."
"Keep that same mother fucking energy nigga! Because when you find out the truth about her I'm not going to be there! I am done!"
"Ma." "Mommy." King and Aubri came running over with smiles on their faces. I'm hoping they didn't see or hear nothing. We are a good ways away from everybody.
"Come on y'all. Let's go." she said grabbing their hands and leaving.
"Bye King and Aubri. I love y'all."
"Ch. No you don't."
"Don't tell me I don't love my kids."
"Look how you're acting nigga. I don't have to say shit."
"Be-"
"Shawn hush." Aunt V said. "Y'all go on."
They turned and left, "WHAT THE FUCKKKK!!!"
"Son calm down."
"I can't! Like why would she lie like that?!"
"I have no idea son."
"Mama she's not telling me the truth, right? There's no way that she could be telling me the truth?"
"Shawn I am your mother. I don't know why she decided to come here with that mess today."
"Karen." Aunt V started.
"Vera I'm not doing this today. My son just lost his father and I lost a husband."
"I'm going back to the house. One of y'all need to call Beyoncé for the will reading in two days." Aunt V said shaking her head.
"For what?"
"She has his only living grandchildren that's why."
"I'll text her tomorrow if they haven't left yet."
