Chapter 14
"it took you long enough" a voice calls out from down the hall, Amelia stands wiping her tears and shuffles to the hallway where she finds Beyonce standing wearing her iconic yellow dress. Her mouth drops in shock as she takes in the woman she had idolized since she was a little girl
"Beyonce what are you doing here?" she asks trying to keep her composure, so much had happened within the last few minutes and her emotions were already all over the place she didn't know if she could keep it together
"I'm here because you finally accepted your life"
"I'm starting to think that maybe you aren't Bey" she responds walking over to the woman
"you're right I'm not who you think, the person you're seeing right now is supposed to make you feel safe and calm while we talk"
"who are you then?"
"I'm someone who's been looking after you for a long time" she says grabbing the girls hand, she snaps her fingers and the pair are no longer inside of her house, they are now standing on a bridge that overlooks a beautiful lake
"where are we?" Amelia asks staring at the scenery in shock
"this is a small park that is only a 5 minute walk from your house"
"what I've never seen it before" she says shocked
"thats because you've never taken the time to appreciate the beautiful things in life"
"Beyonce? sorry can I call you that? "
"call me whatever you please"
"was any of this real? or was it just a dream?" she asks turning towards the goddess who stood in front of her
"what you saw was a slightly altered version of your future"
"wait so it was real then?" she asks feeling her heart race
"yes"
"so Ashton?"
"is your soulmate" Beyonce says and she gasps and allows a big smile to take over her face at the thought of being with him in her real life
"but why show me this? won't that change everything?" she asks worriedly
"It was not an exact copy of your future, but regardless if you had stayed on your path you never would have made it to him"
"what was gonna happen?"
"you would have killed yourself 6 months later after your first attempt, now is that still something you plan on doing?"
"no"
"then why did you take the pills when you knew it was dangerous?" Beyonce asks
"even though my life was good I wasn't ready to live without Ashton"
"why do you feel this place is no longer necessary?"
"because I don't need to come here to feel love, I have so much of it in my life. I can be happy on my own" she says
"good, thats exactly what I needed to hear, now its almost time for you to wake up is there any last questions you have for me?"
"yeah just one more thing, why me?" she asks
"because you needed to see the truth about life, Amelia you're destined for great things"
"wow that means the world coming from you" she says smiling
"of course"
"can I hug you please?" Amelia asks pulling the woman into a hug, after a few moments they pull away and the girl looks up at her guardian angel.
"its time to wake up" she says before snapping her fingers
