Beyoncé POV
I got out of bed to go to my phone since it was ringing nonstop. In order to avoid waking Nika awake, I left the room.I muttered "Hello" into the phone.I'm talking to Beyoncé Knowles, so hello there. The male caller said."Yes, this is her,"
Okay, Mercy Hospital is calling because your parents were engaged in a deadly accident, they said. Even though our relationship may not have been the finest, I still loved them after hearing that.Through my tears, I cried, "Oh my gosh, I'm 24 hours away, but I'll be there by tomorrow."Okay, we also wondered who would be taking Solange Knowles. "Uhh, i'll take her," she said.After hanging up the phone, she said, "Okay ma'am, drive safely."I just started bawling at that precise time. I was never even given the chance to tell them I loved them or to try to mend our connection.😖😖
Bey, what's wrong Onika said in a confused tone, "My parents are dead." I said and started crying continuously.She exclaimed, "Oh god, we have to get you to Houston," but I said nothing and simply got up, wiped away my tears, and started to pack some clothing.Are you coming?She answered, "Yes, just walk to the car. I'm right behind you."I just couldn't believe it as soon as I got inside the car. Before, I thought I was alone, but now I'm really by myself. Now it's just Solange and I. She's only five, and we hardly really know one another. To get Nika some food for the ride, I drove to Walmart.I said, "Here," handing her 100 bills to spend anyway she pleased.She started to argue, "Bey, this is too much," to which I replied, "Just go."

approaching the front desk employee in person."Beyoncé Knowles," she said, "what's your name?" "Okay, second floor room 222."
I was nervous as I entered the elevator since I wasn't sure how I should be feeling. Solange raised her head as she entered the hospital and sprinted toward me.She sobbed loudly, "Mama and papa are gone. I know baby, but I'm right here." I rocked her. I've never been closer to her than I am now, but it already feels so normal. As she approached me, the social worker inquired, glancing up from the papers she was holding, "So will you be the guardian?""Yes, ma'am," she said, pulling out more paper. "Alright, I'm going to need your age before you sign these papers. I'm 18; you hardly meet the age restrictions.
She handed me the papers and said, "Okay, I need you to sign here."I stepped towards them and kissed their forehead while saying my goodbyes after signing the documents and going through the details for my parents' funeral.I heard a tiny voice say, "BB."I said, "Yes Solo," as I observed her now-red face."Am I staying with you?" she enquired. "Yes, baby, is that okay?" I responded with a smile.She laughed and replied, "Yes, that's okay."I told her, "Okay, let's get you home so we can pack your clothes.
I stopped on the way to my house to grab food for Solange and Nika.Taking her inside to her room after being picked up."Solange, please pack your entire wardrobe into your pink and blue luggage.I walked behind her and asked Onika, "Hey, you okay?"Yes, your house is large, she remarked, adding, "Solange, I'm going into my room to get somethings okay." "Okay," I responded, grasping her hand and leading the way upstairs to my room.When i enter it, it seems exactly as when i left.Wow, nika exclaimed amusedly "I just entered my closet and began packing my clothing as well.As I was packing, I knew Solange couldn't stay on campus, so I quickly called a friend.
