Can You Keep A Secret?

Ch.46

Shawn's POV
The last thing I remember is telling this man to tell a woman named Beyoncé in the hotel Chantél room 444 that I love her. And that's when I blacked out.

Beyonce's POV
I was awakened by a loud knock on the front door. I looked to the right of me and Shawn wasn't there so I decided to answer it myself.

I rolled my bum ass out of bed and lazily walked to the front door.
I unlocked it and a frantic man was standing infront of me, "ARE YOU Beyoncé?!" He asked frantically.
I was shocked at him and I just nodded, "yes I am Beyoncé why?" I asked now looking at him.
"A man.... A man was shot and he told me to tell a woman named Beyoncé he loves her." He said looking at my engagement ring on my left hand.
"A man?" I said scared for the worst.
"Yes a man he is being transported to the hospital right now." He said calming down a bit.

Now we have switched roles I'm the one freaking out and he's calming down. "Uhm. Ok. Uhm let me tell my friends. Thank you for this." I said my brain a complete jumble of thoughts as I closed the door.
I ran into Jack and shays tears in my eyes blurring my vision.
"Jack...." I said shaking him, he looked at me confused.
"Jack, someone shot Shawn. He's at the hospital. I'm going down right now." I said walking into our room changing into jeans and a tshirt.
"Bey. Are you serious. Ok we will meet you down there baby. It's going to be ok." Jack said rushing into my bedroom kissing my forehead as I walked out of the door.

I ran down the hallway thanking God the elevator was already open, I jumped in and jammed the lobby floor closing the doors.

The elevator took it's time getting to the lobby. As soon as I was out of the elevator I ran straight for the street looking for a cab. God is good because there was a man getting out of one right infront of me.
"Please hurry to the hospital." I said frantically.
The cab driver took off, "did you hear about the shooting at all?" I asked him wanting to find out who shot my baby.

"Yeah some girl shot him, she was talking to him and he denied her something and she just shot him. He had McDonalds in his hand at the time." He said looking in the rear view.
"Did they get the girl?" I asked.
"Yeah someone jumped on her and held her until the cops came." He said smiling at me.
"Did you know the man?" the cab driver said causing me too tear up, "did I?" I asked referring to his past tense, like Shawn is no longer alive.
"I'm sorry, you did didn't you? what I heard is that he didn't make it." He said, you could hear the sympathy in his voice.
I looked in astonishment, Shawn, Dead. No this isn't right. He's not dead.
"No my baby can't be dead.... no we are supposed to get married...." I said closing my eyes denying any tears to fall.
"Miss we are here, please this ride is free. My prayers are with you and your fiancé. I'm so sorry." He said as I was stepping out of the car.
I was still in complete denial as I walked into the hospital.
"Uhm Shawn Carter? what is.... is he ok?" I asked looking at the nurse at the counter.
"Shawn carter?" she asked looking at her computer.
She scrolled through....
"Shawn Carter? he's in surgery right now. and who are you to him? family?" she asked looking at me.
"He's my fiancé." I said looking at the woman.
Her look was filled with sorrow, "I'm sorry miss he is a fighter.... Please take a seat and we will call you in once he is out of surgery."
I nodded my head and went to sit down. He's alive that's good. He's in surgery and they will fix him. I said in my head as I held my knees to my chest.
I felt a hand on my back and I looked up and smiled a small smile when I saw Shay.
"BB I'm so sorry. Is he ok?" she asked pulling me in for a real big comforting hug.
"He's in surgery right now." I said still hugging Shay. I really needed a hug right now.
I moved on to Jack and he rubbed my back as I hug him tight.
"I'm sorry Bey." He said still hugging me.
I let go and sat back down, "thank you guys for coming." I said smiling at them.
"No problem Bey. We are here for you and Shawn, he's really a brother to us now no matter how odd that seems he really is." Shay said grabbing my hand in hers.
"Thank you." I said smiling at her.
"Beyoncé Carter?" I heard someone call for me. I looked up and smiled, they called me Beyoncé Carter.
I walked to them and they looked at me, "he's ok. He is out of surgery and breathing, he's a fighter Mrs.Carter he flatlined 2 times. If you would like to see him. He's most likely going to be asleep though." He said guiding me to room 204. I nodded, "thank you doctor, so much." I said walking into the room.
I closed the door behind me and walked to Shawn, I smiled and walked beside him. I couldn't help but to feel a streak of guilt run through me.
I could've prevented this, I could've held onto him a little longer in the morning.
I let the tears fall from my eyes as I sat next to Shawn's bed holding his hand. This is the second fucking time Shawn has been in a hospital.
I fell asleep holding onto Shawn's hand and a tear stained face.
3 hours later****
I was woken by a pillow being thrown at my face. I opened my eyes looking around at my surroundings. Shawn smiling at me, instantly causing me to smile and tear up.
"Aww baby don't cry...." He said barely over a whisper, obviously in pain.
"I love you Shawn." I said grabbing his hand carefully not wanting to hurt him.
"I love you too Beyoncé." He said smiling at me.
"Who did this to you Shawn?" I said looking at him with anger and pain in my eyes.
"Katie." He said looking down.
My stomach fell to my legs and my whole body began to heat up and beat to the pace of my heart.
"I'm going to kill her." I said looking at Shawn's stomach where he was shot.
"Bey there is no need. She's in jail for a long time ok." He said gripping my hand tight in his.
"I'm sorry."
"Bey for what?"
"I should've held onto you a little longer this morning. I could've prevented this, this pain you are in Shawn. This is the second time you've been in a hospital while being with me." I said looking at him.
"Beyoncé.... do you remember what I said to you. I love you and I will go through anything for you as long as your by my side baby. You being there for me makes this pain all worth it. I love you more than life baby."
"Shawn.... I can't help but to blame myself...."
"Beyoncé stop blaming yourself, Katie is obviously delusional and needs medical help."
"She does." I said causing him to laugh and me following.
I love him more than anything in this world.
