Beyoncé POV
1 month later
"YOU DID WHAT?!" My mother yelled at me and i quickly closed the door of our downstairs area so nobody could hear
After our visit with the girls, it was just something about them that just stuck with me. I didn't know what it was quite yet but I knew I couldn't allow them to stay in that jail rotting away
They were dying in there slowly, I was fighting for them and they were clearly letting go. I couldn't let that happen to them because despite everything they were children.
They've been through a lot and I could tell they were extremely suicidal, and it wasn't like they haven't been trying. They were just being ignored and silenced but not anymore. I was going to make sure they got the help they needed if it killed me
I made a promise to myself and to Kiyana that I would re-write my wrongs I made in the past and I will fulfill that promise. So if this is what it took... so be it
After hundreds of arguments and disagreements with Shawn over the past week, he finally caved and agreed to help me get the girls out of jail.
It was a hard and stressful process due to the girls being product of the state. We had to go to court to get temporary custody over them since they were still minors along with a plethora of legal stuff and parenting courses they made us do. we also had to drop all personal charges against them so there wouldn't be a conflict in their case.
We had no hand in any of the case dealings anymore, it was now a state case meaning it was about to get dirty and messy real quick.
It took about 6 weeks to finally get all the paperwork together to bring them home but we finally got it together and picked them up yesterday morning.
They were of course under strict house rules while staying here to ensure the safety of everyone in the home. They couldn't come upstairs where our rooms were at all and couldn't leave their rooms downstairs past 10 pm. There weren't allowed alone with blue whatsoever and they also had to talk to a therapist everyday until the trial began.
They definitely seemed to dislike the idea of living here because of me. They didn't like me whatsoever but that was fine.. I'd rather them be uncomfortable than dead
"Can you stop yelling they are literally downstairs right now.." I told my mom and she was fuming
We hadn't told anyone in the family about what we were doing so we wouldn't get distracted by the negativity. We already knew it wouldn't be a happy scene so we waited until finally telling them today
"that's the problem Beyoncé! Have you lost your mind? You got those thugs in your home with the child they took!" My mom yelled at me and I just shook my head
"They were being abused and harassed inside that jail, they were gonna die if they stayed and we had no where else for them to go.." I explained to her and I seen Solo flop down on the couch crossing her arms
"I mean I don't see what was wrong with how they were being treated in jail. They deserve everything they get, you're acting like you don't know what they did" Solange said making me scrunch my face up in disgust at her comments
"Yeah I know exactly what they did.. they gave us blue back, unharmed! Those girls are 16 years old, your saying that a child deserves to be abused?" I asked her and she shrugged
"you're acting like they're 5 or something! Those girls are old enough and knew exactly what they were doing! Your letting criminals off the hook and you honestly should be ashamed of yourself" She argued and I just shook my head at her because she truly had some nerve
"That's what I told her.." Shawn agreed with them and I just rolled my eyes at them wanting the conversation
"When you were 16, you and your friends ran up in Lamelo's family home and killed their cat! You're a criminal too!" I called solo out for her hypocrisy
She stared at me with so much hurt for telling her secret since she had made me promise not to tell mom years ago but I wasn't gonna let her go on like she hadn't done something similar
"That's different and you know it!" Solo said and as I thought about it, I realized it was actually the exact same situation
"I beg to differ" i said and I noticed a horrified look on my moms face because she didn't know anything about that moment in solos life since I had completely covered for her so she wouldn't get in trouble
"You did what?!" Mama asked her and I seen Sol pout not wanting to speak on it but I wasn't afraid to point out her hypocrisy.
"About a month, after Lamelo hurt her. she thought it was a bright idea to break into his home and steal that stupid black cat he brought literally everywhere because she wanted to hurt him how he hurt her. She didn't feed him at all, killing it 3 days later!" I spilled everything watching her frown up
"That was something stupid you did as a kid out of hurt...What makes you any better than them? You're a damn cat killer, they sent Mike Vicks ass to jail for killing animals. You got lucky so respectfully I don't wanna hear your opinion" I told her and it got real silent after that
That shut her ass up quick and the room immediately got quiet. No comments were being made we all just sat here in awkward silence until I heard the door to downstairs creek open and lovie appeared
She had her head down and I noticed she was shaking just like she has every time I've seen her. I didn't know what was wrong with her and I really wondered why she shook like that but I didn't want to seem disrespectful
"Sorry I don't mean to interrupt or anything but we're hungry" she said and I noticed how long it's been since they last ate. We didn't have breakfast or lunch because Blue went back to school today and it was just a lot going on,
"shit.. I completely forgot about food. Do you want me to order you guys something?" I asked her, damn this is already going off to a bad start
"Do you mind if we use your kitchen to cook something ourselves?" She asked me and it kinda surprised me but I wasn't opposed because I really didn't feel like going through the hassle of dealing with online food ordering
"Sure just don't burn the house down.." I joked and she just looked at me before returning back downstairs
I noticed my mother shaking her head out the corner of my eye but I ignored her. The deal was already done and there was no amount of head shaking that would change that
"I can't even stand to be around here right now" she said grabbing her things walking out the house not even having the decency to say bye or anything. Solange followed soon after and I was totally ok with that because she had pissed me off anyways
All Three of the girls appeared from downstairs they didn't say a word just immediately went towards the kitchen.
Shawn tried to follow behind them to make sure they didn't do anything crazy but I stopped him because I knew how he could get. He still weren't too fond of the girls so it probably would've been a disaster
"I'll go" I told him giving him that look basically telling him to go on somewhere and go let me have it.
We argued for a good minute about this decision because he felt I was being too lenient with them. I began trying to tell him why I felt him going in there would be a bad decision but he was just so in his feelings he want hearing me out whatsoever!
After about 15 minutes of heavy argument and voices being risen. He finally just left the house...
Just like everyone else he walked out the door without saying goodbye or anything and at this moment I finally felt a little defeated
Maybe this won't work out..

Chapter 16!!! Filler chapter but we learned alot ..
Beyoncé bailing the girl out and allowing them to stay in her home while they await trial?
Why do you think she's doing this? Is it worth it?
Do you think this will affect the way the girls view Beyoncé?
