What Is Life? [Finished]

Chapter 26

Bryan walked closer to her.

"Why were you outside?"

"Because I knew Bria couldn't leave me in the house by myself."

"So why didn't you call me?"

Bryan didn't say anything.

"Go upstairs."

"Am I in trouble?"

"Don't ask me that. Go upstairs now."

Bryan left and went upstairs.

Bria looked at Beyoncé as she drunk her water.

"So am I-"

"Take your ass upstairs too. Why the hell would you go outside knowing that-"

Beyoncé took a moment to breath.

"Go upstairs."

"But-"

"Bria." Beyoncé snapped.

Bria got up from the stool and ran upstairs. She had seen Beyoncé mad before but she looked very pissed off.

Shawn was at his desk working until his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Daddy, can you call ma and like calm her down?" Bria asked.

"Calm her down? Why? What happened?"

Bria explained everything to him and he just laughed.

"Daddy, it's not funny. I mean I get why she mad at Bry but what did I do? Why she yelling at me?"

"What did you do? You know you can't leave him in the house but you did anyway."

"He was fine, he's eleven."

"It doesn't matter. When we tell you to do something we mean it."

"Okay but still."

"Bria, I'll see you later."

"So are you gonna call her or-"

"Goodbye Bria." Shawn said and hung up his phone.

He laughed and shook his head as he went back to work.
