In Love With A Psychopath

Chapter 5

April 1, 2001
Beyoncé

It's been four weeks since Sierra brought me to her brother's house and I actually feel a lot better. No one is shoving pills down my throat or watching me shower. Although I have had a few run ins with Shawn he usually keeps his distance. After our first session he thought that it was only fair to make me an out patient. Today is Saturday so I don't have any appointments and I can just chill.

Beyoncé I'm going to head out for a few minutes do you need anything? Shawn asked

No... But I was wondering if my little sister could come over for a little while? I asked

Yeah that's fine.... Oh Sierra told me to let you know that she will be here tonight after she gets off. He said grabbing his keys.

You're leaving your wallet. I said and we both shared a laugh

Uh thanks I'll be back soon. He told me then he left. I changed in to something more comfortable and decided to take a nap.

BEYONCÉ. I heard and opened my eyes to see Sierra standing over me.

What? Why are you yelling? I asked

Because you wouldn't wake up. She said

What do you want? I was kind of in the middle of taking a nap. I told her while sitting up

I got it and she doesn't know. She said dancing

What do you have? I asked her and she showed a bag full of things but the first thing I saw was that knife.

How did you get this? You have to put it back before she finds out. I told her

She won't find out. Sierra said before Solange burst threw the door and dropped on the couch next to me.

So when is the retrial? Solange asked

I don't know yet but Shawn talked to the lawyer and they said that we should have a date by Monday. I told them

Great now we have to watch this. Sierra said holding a crate full of tapes that was labeled "Beyoncé".

What is this? I asked Solange

I don't know it was in the attic I grabbed it when I got the knife. She said

You where in the attic? How did you get out? I told you not to go up there. I said

I didn't get caught and I used the back vent. She said rolling her eyes.

Just stop going back damn it's that simple you're out stop going back in. I told her.

I'm sorry I just wanted to help. She yelled

Just don't go back. Come on let's see what's on these tapes. I told them

Well lucky for us my brother is probably the only person in the world that still has a VHS tape player. Sierra said putting the tape in.

While we were watching Shawn came home. He was starring at the TV and the crate then he turned to look at us.

Where did you get this? He asked us

I brought it from our house. Solange whispered

You shouldn't have touched any of this. They could accuse you of tampering with evidence. He said sternly.

But they don't have any evidence. I said

This is a good thing right now you can bring it up in court. Sierra said

He won't be able to use it since he didn't have a search warrant all of this evidence would be invalid. I said sadly while putting my head down.

Exactly now if you really want to help then maybe you can give a statement. I'm going to work on getting a warrant and all of this stuff needs to be turned in as evidence especially that knife. He said picking up the bag.

I'll do it. But first I want you to know the truth so we have to watch this. Solange said putting the tape in.

We all sat down and watched the tapes. In the beginning there were a series of my past sessions with my mom in the attic. Some of the tapes showed a series of punishments including my mother giving my eight year old self electric shocks. When we finally got to the last video I realized that it was the apartment surveillance footage. The only people in the apartment were my mom and Nathan's brother.

This is child abuse. Sierra said and I just broke down.

I'm sorry Bey but I had to show you and she knows you're not at the facility anymore. Solange said

Ok you get dressed and you two pack this up. I'm going to change and we're all going to take a trip. Shawn told us and we all went our separate ways.

Solange

After Bey left it was just me and Sierra. I was putting the tapes back while she gathered a few pictures that fell out.

Who is this? I heard Sierra asked showing me a picture that showed Beyoncé and another girl that looked exactly like her. They were dressed exactly alike and both of them looked like they were seven.

I don't know... I've never seen this picture before but I could probably ask my dad. I told her

Maybe it's just an illusion picture. She said holding another picture that showed the the other girl.

Yeah but if it's not then where is she? I asked

Are yall ready? Where's Beyoncé? Shawn asked

Still getting dressed. I told him and we all sat down waiting

Ok I'm ready now. We heard and looked to see Beyoncé coming out of the room fully dressed.

Alright that means we can go now. I said

Where are we going? Sierra asked

To meet with the lawyer and I have to go to the facility and pick up a few things. Shawn said

I need to go to our dads church first. I told him and he said okay

Why do you need to go to the church Solo? Bey asked

I have to ask him something and no you can't come. I told her

But I wanted to see dad I'm tired of talking to him on the phone. Bey whined as we pulled into the church parking lot.

Well you can't it's too risky. Sierra said

I'll be back. I told her

Solange what are you doing here? My Dad asked

I came to ask you about this picture. I said showing him the picture we found

Oh this was a picture Tina had taken to show Beyoncé that she had more than one side to her life. He said taking the picture

Did it work? I asked

I don't really know but shortly afterwards your mom started giving her medicine and making her go up to the attic more often and I assumed that she was just talking to her but sometimes when I was at the office and the cameras were rolling I could hear Beyoncé screaming but I was never able to see them. He told me

Oh well thanks for clearing that up I have to go we're supposed to be going to see the lawyer today. I said

Let me know what happens. He said before ushering me to the door.

I will and hopefully we get a court date today. I told him before getting in the car and leaving.
