Shawn vs. Mama

Part Two of Her reason

That's when Shawn's mom slammed the door leaving nothing but unspoken words in the air.

Shawn's PoV

I was having so much fun. All my family came out for my birthday. We all chilled and joked around. It was like old times. I missed it a lot. We haven't had a lot of days like this, so when these occasions come around we treasure them. I looked around for bey and I didn't see her. I figured she wouldn't come although she did say she would. Tonight was supposed to be real special I definitely wanted her to meet my family but I guess it'll be another time. I talked to  my sister Tiana "T" and I told her about the fight. Of course she was surprised but she made bey's actions much clearer.

She explained to me that bey is only scared because of her relationship with Michael. Its not that she doesn't trust me. Its that she has a wall built up and she's trying to learn to trust me. She's only insecure because if the things Michael has done and said to her. Instead of cursing her out and being so hard on her, I need to learn how to gain her trust and make her fall in love again. I need to let her know its Ok if she's isn't completely trustworthy yet but I will never do anything to betray it.

Of course after we talked I felt like crap so I really wanted bey to show up so I could see her but she was a no show. I had made plans for her to meet my mom and T.

It was starting to get late so I started opening my gifts.

"Alight so first from ma." I opened it and it was a photo album with all my baby pictures and family pictures. There were two pictures with my dad in it and  it really made me smile. I havent seen a pic of him in years so it really got to me.

"Thanks ma. This means alot" I kissed her on the cheek and she just nodded and kissed me back. I went on to the rest of the gifts. I finally got to the last gift and it was a small-medium sized box.

I read the card aloud. "Hey Shawn, I hope you like your gift. I know I've only known you for a couple months but you've made me so happy. I'm so proud to have you in my life. Yea we've had our little issues but I honestly don't know what I'd do without you and little man. Thanks for all your help. Love Bey Bey" I opened her gift and it was the vintage watch I had looked at a while ago. I wanted to get it but instead I bought bey a dress while we were passing the store. I had planned on coming back to get it but the owner said someone came and bought it already. That was their last one. I looked around to thank bey but didn't see her.

"BEY...BEY" I looked around in confusion until my mom said

"Oh I sent her home baby" she said with such pleasure.

"You what?" I was confused and extremely upset. This whole time I thought she was a no show but instead she had actually showed up and dismissed.

"I sent her home"

"Why the hell would you do that?"

"Watch you're tone when you talking to me boy?"

I sighed in frustration as I looked at my mother. "Ma why did you tell her to go home?"

"Because you need people like her in your life especially women like her"

"What the hell does that mean?" I said as my anger started to rise. Everyone stared at me because I rarely ever lose my temper but that's bey and I do NOT play when it comes to her.

"Shawn watch yourself, you're starting to get out of line"

"No ma you're out of line.. I love you but that women is the only woman I've been with since j's mom. She's made me so damn happy. Hell yea she pissed me off but I have love for that woman. So no you're out of line."

"Shawn I've been around way longer than you. I know a gold digger when I see one. So shut the hell up acting like you actually love that whore."

"If she is then so is half the people in this room because she has never asked me for a damn thing and yes I do love her. Now I'm not gonna do anything to you because you're my mother but I'm going to ask you to not call her out her name because you don't know shit about her. Everybody thanks for coming over but the party is over. Get out!"

Everybody kind of stood there and looked stunned.

"I SAID OUT!"

Everyone made their way to the door saying bye and their little last happy birthdays.

My mother was the last person to leave.

"Sha--"

"Ma please not now"

"Alright baby I'll see you later love you"

"Love you too" I shut the door and sat down for a bit.

I called Jerome and he came running.

"Yes dad"

"Want to come make a trip with me?"

"Yea Ok"

"Good go pack  a pair of clothes and some overnight stuff."

"Ok"

I was about to make things right.
