Fish Out Of Water

Making Decisions

Bey's POV
Kelly and I were talking next to my locker when Kanye and Tim came up to us.

"Hey baby. Hey Bey," Tim greeted us.

"Hi Tim," I said.

"What's up Kells and Beyoncé?," he greeted.

"You actually said my name for once. I'm surprised and impressed," I said.

"Well I'm tired of you using your little magical powers on me," he said.

"I knew you'd come around," I told him.

"Yeah, whatever," he said.

"Where's Jay," I asked.

"Well, he was with us, but then Simone came up to him in the hall. So he told us to leave so they could talk in private," Tim explained.

"My guess is that they're arguing about you and what Jay told me happened last night," Kanye stated.

"Man, this is all my fault. I should've known better than to go out with him last night. I'm gonna go see if I can find them and fix this. See you guys later," I said as I walked off down the hallway.

Jay's POV
"Simone, I don't understand why you're so upset!," he exclaimed.

"Because you took that bitch on our anniversary dinner!," she retorted.

"Which you said you couldn't go to!," I added.

"Only because you were being a dick and wouldn't buy me a new dress to wear!," she yelled.

"I bought you a damn diamond necklace and made dinner reservations! Isn't that enough?!," I continued.

"You still had no right to take her out!," she yelled.

"I worked hard to make that money to pay for those reservations instead of just using my parents' money because I wanted to show you how much I cared! I wasn't just about to let them go to waste!," I exclaimed.

"So you just took out some random girl who just happens to be highly attractive?!," she asked.

"Bey is not some random girl! She's my friend, and she's new to town so I thought maybe she'd want to go out and see the city! I was being a good friend!," I yelled.

"Do you find her attractive?," she asked.

"Simone-," I began before she cut me off.

"Do you or do you not find her attractive?," she asked again.

"Hell yeah, have you seen her?! But I know not to cheat because I have a girlfriend," I told her.

"You love me, right?," she asked.

"Of course I do baby," I said.

"If you really love me, then you'll stay away from her because she's trying to break us up, and she's weird. Last night, when I followed her to the restroom, she had locked the door, and when she came out, she was completely dry. So stay away," she told me.

"Simone, she's my friend. I'm not going to stay away from her, and she's not weird," I told her.

"Okay then Jay. It's either your friend of 2 weeks or your girlfriend of 2 years," she said.

"Pick her," I heard from behind me.

I turned around to see Bey.

"Bey-," I started before she cut me off.

"No, Jay. Just pick her like she wants. I heard everything. I don't want to cause any trouble. I'm sorry if I messed your relationship. I didn't mean to do that. But I don't want to mess up anything any more than I already have. So just pick her Jay. Like she said, you've only known me for two weeks, and you've been in love with her for 2 years. It'll be easy to just forget me. I'm not worth all this trouble because you barely know me," she told me.
