Years

(A/N): Some of this may be a bit confusing since it bounces from flashback to real time, so just make sure you're paying attention. If you have any questions or if there's any confusion, let me know. Happy reading!

Bey POV

Well, it's been a few years and my God, how things have changed. We were giggling and laughing and making small talk until it was time for us to take our seats for the interview.

"Kelly, you alright?" I asked. She was shaking and sweating. I've never seen her like this. "Baby?" I call out again.

She looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes of hers and I grab her hand as they fill up with tears. "Kelly-" I started.

"Bey..I'm so sorry."

And that was the last I saw of her for years. No one knew what happened to her. There were no sightings, no trace of her at all- it was like she magically disappeared from Earth. She left me. Of course she didn't only leave me. She left Michelle, she left the group, she left her husband.

"What the hell did you do?" Tim screamed walking into my house. No one had seen or heard from Kelly in 2 days. At first we assumed it was jitters and nerves so we gave her some space and time. And then two days turned into 3..and then 4 and then 5. "Where is she?" He yelled.

I'd been crying for days. Completely distraught. I called and called and called. I went to our favorite restaurants, the park, and even to our place in Tribeca. "I'm so sorry, Tim." I said. "She just bolted. I didn't think-"

"No! You didn't think!" He yells walking closer to me.

"I didn't know this would happen!" I shouted back. "I love her!" I took a deep breath wiped my tears that were now free falling from my eyes. "She's afraid. Do you have any idea what she must be feeling?"

"You're the one who made her come out!"

"I didn't MAKE Kelly do anything! SHE kissed ME in public, not the other way around. She had me so convinced that she was ready. We told the world and then she ran. We were supposed to face everyone together." I hadn't realized how angry and venomous I sounded until I saw Tim take a step back from me. "I was ready." I could feel my bottom lip begin to tremble and my vision was starting to get blurry again; another fresh set of tears.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I'm just-I love her too. She never does stuff like this. Maybe it's the baby-"

My head snapped up and my tears immediately slowed down, almost to a stop. "The what?"

He looked like he didn't know what he just said-or like he didn't mean to say it. "I thought she told you."

"She-she's pregnant?" I ask just above a whisper.

Tim nods.

"Is it yours?" I struggle to get the words out. I already know the answer.

He looks at me for a moment before slowly shaking his head. "No." He says softly. He runs his hand up and down the nape of his neck. "No. The baby isn't mine."

Trey. I felt myself getting angry all over again. "Get out." I spat.

"But I-"

"Get the fuck out!"

"Just- please call me if you hear from her." I nodded my head rubbing my right arm with my left hand as if it were cold. He closed the door as he left.
