I stood in the shower and let the warm water pour onto my head. I stood with my hands against the shower wall and turned my face up to the shower head. The water splashed into my face and I swiftly ran my fingers through my hair.

I could feel my hair begin to thicken and I could feel the lose springs. My hair was starting to curl. Mother would always straighten my hair, but I felt like keeping it in its natural state. I didn't have a flat iron or hairdryer so even if I wanted it straighten it, it wouldn't be possible.

After washing my hair, and my body, I realised that I needed some shampoo and conditioner. I had just finished my own and I didn't want to use the two-in-one shampoo and conditioner that was clearly used by all the men in the house. Mother told me I should never put sulphate in my hair, and it definitely had sulphate in it.

After the turning the shower off. I stepped out and dried myself with my towel. I put on my underwear and then put on some body lotion, followed by my baby pink sundress and matching coloured sundress. After I cleaned up after myself, I threw my things in the laundry basket and then walked out.

With my lotion in my hand, I headed in the direction of my room. I threw my lotion on my bed and headed for the dining room. When I entered, everyone turned there heads to look at me. They all stared wide eyed and I grew nervous. What was everyone staring at?

Terrance's face grew a great big smile. "Beyoncé, don't you look lovely."

I could almost feel my cheeks turning red.

"I like your hair."

Quincy smiled and I cheesed. He was so sweet. I forgot that this was the first time that they've seen my hair in its natural state. I walked over to the table and sat down beside Quincy. I eyed the table and my mouth watered. Everything looked so good. There was bacon, eggs, sausage, orange juice and toast. It didn't seem like much but there was so much of everything.

As we all helped ourselves, Chris entered the room, still dressed in his pjs. He yawned sat down next to Jay and then laid his tired eyes onto me. He looked surprised. His eyes grew big and he looked confused. Must be my hair.

"So I'm going to be out for the day, it's really hot out so Quincy you should take Beyoncé out for a swim. I had the pool cleaned."

Quincy nodded and smiled excitedly. They have a pool? Terrance smiled at both me and Quincy then shifted his gaze onto Jay and Chris. His smile almost immediately faded and his glare grew serious.

"I don't want any of your friends over while I'm gone. I mean it. No friends."

Jay groaned. "What makes you think I'll have friends over?"

Terrance chuckled sarcastically and shoved some eggs into his mouth.

"I know you."

As Jay groaned, I thought about the pool. I was really excited. I wanted to finish my food immediately so that I could swim. Quincy however, had finished his breakfast before me and grabbed me by my wrist and dragged me up the stairs.

"Quincy she's not done eating."

Quincy ignored Terrance and continued to drag me along until we stopped in the hallway.

"I'm going to put on my bathing suit. You do the same and we'll meet here okay."

I nodded and we both ran off to our individual rooms. Shutting my door, I ran over to my dresser and grabbed my one piece bathing suit. It was light blue with pink hearts on it. Something grandma had bought a while ago.

I hurriedly got out of my clothes and changed into my bathing suit. I threw my clothes on my bed and grabbed a towel and headed for the door. I was so excited. I couldn't wait to be in the water. I hadn't been to the beach in ages which was really sad, because I loved to be in the ocean. I've never been in a pool though, which was another reason why I was so excited.

When I got into the hallway, I laughed when I saw Quincy waiting impatiently. When he saw me he grabbed onto my hand and hurriedly led me to the stairs.

"What took you so long?"

"Sorry." I giggled.

We made it down the stairs and headed to the back. Quincy opened the sliding doors and quickly ran out onto the patio. He threw his towel onto one of the many benches and ran onto the grass. I watched as he screamed and he ran over to the pool. He stopped and turned towards me, he waved and then dove in.

I put my towel on the bench and slowly walked over to the pool. I stood on the edge and watched as Quincy splashed around. Walking over to the steps, I slowly got in and sat down. The water stopped at my waist and I just kept my eyes on Quincy.

"You're going to sit there? Come in and play with me."

Quincy swam over to me and I covered my face as the water splashed onto to me. Quincy sat beside me and placed his head on my shoulder.

"Are you scared?"

I shook my head and playfully moved my hands around in the water.

"No. I just want to sit here for now okay. You can play. I'll join you later."

Quincy got up and crouched down in front of me. He placed his arms on my thighs and pouted.

"Promise we'll play soon?"

"I promise." I giggled as we intertwined pinky's.

Quincy turned around and swam to the other side of the pool. He was very energetic and wild. I'm usually a lot like him, but I still felt a bit uncomfortable. I didn't want to do too much. I still felt like a guest.

"How's the pool?"

I looked over to Terrance who was standing at the edge of the pool. He crouched down and ran his fingers through the water.

"It's nice. I like it." I beamed up at him.

He smiled and took the shades off his face.

"So look a friend of mine will be over soon okay, to keep an eye on you and Quincy. Chris and Jay might go out so just in case they do, there'll be someone to get you guys some snacks and food."

"Okay." I nodded.

"I'll see you later on tonight okay."

I nodded.

"Quincy! I'm leaving now!"

"Okay." Quincy didn't look at Terrance and continued to splash around in the pool.

Terrance shook his head and chuckled. He gave me a wink before heading back into the house. Terrance seems really rich. I wonder what kind of work he does. I'd never ask though, I wouldn't want to look nosey. Maybe I could ask Quincy. He would definitely tell me.

I soon found myself in the middle of the pool with Quincy teaching me how to float. I was scared at first but it wasn't that hard to do. It wasn't that long before I was floating on my own, without needing Quincy to hold me up by my shoulders.

"Quincy, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay."

I swam over to the steps and got out of the pull. I dried myself off on the patio and entered the house. I gasped when I felt my body slam into a harder one. Why do I keep bumping into people in this house? I felt a hand wrap around my upper waist to stop me from falling. When my balance was found, I looked up and frowned. If I find out that I have another brother I'm leaving this house. Seriously. I'll pack my bags and leave right now.

"I'm so sorry I didn't even see you there."

The stranger looked down at me and his eyes seemed to widen. What now? Why's everyone so surprised by my hair today? He continued to stare at me and I felt my stomach begin to feel funny. I could feel my cheeks become hot and my hands begin to dampened. Why is he looking at me like that? And why am I feeling like this? Wow. He's really pretty. Wait what?

I heard someone clear their throat and we both snapped our heads into the direction of the noise. Chris was standing only a few feet away from us with an unreadable expression plastered on his face.

"You mind taking your hands off my fifteen year old sister?"

The stranger immediately let go of my waist and stepped back. I backed up some and kept my eyes on Chris. His eyes moved back and fourth between myself and the stranger. Sister? Since when did he start referring to me as his sister?

"Chris. It's not what you think. I accidentally bumped into her and I caught her. That's why I was holding her like that." The stranger blurted out all in one breath.

I've never heard anyone speak so fast before. He seemed so jittery. I would've laughed at how funny he sounded had it not been for Chris' unwanted presence.

"Jack, why don't you go and join Quincy at the pool. I'll let Jay know you're here."

Chris kept his eyes on me as Jack quickly walked to the sliding doors. I wasn't in the mood to play the staring game with Chris. My bladder was full and I needed to get to the bathroom asap.

I tried making my way to the stairs, but Chris wrapped his large hand around my arm and brought me right back to the spot where I had been standing.

"You should cover up."

I stared up at him bewildered. Cover up? I'm in a bathing suit? A one piece bathing suit. Jeez. And can he stop grabbing me like that?

"C-cover up?"

"Look at you. Why are you dressed like this? It's not necessary."

Chris displayed a disgusted expression and i grew uncomfortable. Did I look that bad? His eyes roamed my body and he shook his head. He scoffed out a laugh and rubbed the top of his head. Sleeking his hair forward.

"Like mother like daughter."

What's that supposed to mean? I took a step back and shook my head. He was so mean. And for what? I've done absolutely nothing to make him treat me this way. I felt my eyes begin to burn, I knew what would soon follow. I bit my lip and closed my eyes, quickly turning my back towards him. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Bringing up my mother is such a insanely cruel thing to do.

I didn't understand what exactly his statement meant, but I knew it was an insult. An insult that involved my mother. It hurt. It hurt a lot. I couldn't stop myself from crying and soon tears were streaming down my face. I turned to walk to the stairs, but once again Chris got ahold of my arm and spun me around to face him.

When I looked up into his face, his expression changed. His eyes grew wide and he immediately let his grip on my arm go.

"Are you crying?"

I shook my head and quickly wiped my face. My tears however didn't comply with my actions and kept rolling down my cheeks.

"Can I please j-just go to the bathroom?" I breathed. "I have to pee."

Chris took a step back and shoved his hands into his pockets. His eyes frantically roamed my face and I could've sworn I saw his hardened features soften. My tears must've been blurring my vision, because there's no way that what I just saw was accurate.

Shaking my head, I turned and headed for the stairs. The more I replayed Chris' words over and over again in my head, the more my tears seemed to build. My vision was blurred, but I made It to the bathroom and quickly flung the door open. I heard a funny sound, blinked the tears out of my eyes and squinted.

Jay was laying on his bed with his eyes closed and his mouth wide open. His blanket was covering his waist and I could see it quickly moving up and down. I saw him grab ahold of his headboard and bite his lip. What is he doing?

"Jay?"

"What the fuck?!" His eyes shot open.

I squinted and stumbled further into the room. Jay quickly sat up from his bed and tangled himself into his bed sheets. This is not the bathroom. I must've accidentally walked into the wrong room.

"Are you naked?"

Jay quickly got up from the bed, clinging his sheets to his body and turned his back towards me.

"Beyoncé!"

I jumped.

"What?! What's wrong?!"

Jay turned around with a shocked expression on his face. His cheeks were blood red, his forehead sweaty and his breathing fast.

"Get out!"

Jumping at how loud his voice was, I quickly headed for the door and shut it behind me.

"Fuck!" I heard Jay scream.

I quickly headed for the bathroom, relieved myself and then headed for my room. That's it. I can't stay here anymore. Everyone hates me. First Chris and now Jay? I can't stay in a house with siblings who hate me. I can't take Chris' awful insults whilst also getting yelled at by Jay. And for no reason! I walked into his room on accident! Big deal. What did he think I was going to do? Pee in his room?

When I got to my room I went straight for my suitcase. I opened it and laid it out on the floor before walking over to my dresser. I grabbed everything from the top drawer and threw them into the dresser. I fell to my knees in front of the suitcase and began to sob.

Who am I kidding? I have nowhere else to go. And what if Terrance came home and found out that I'd ran away? What if he'd be upset? Or hurt? I didn't want to hurt Terrance.

Sighing, I got up and laid down on my bed with my face shoved into the pillow. I let out a frustrated scream and bit the pillow shortly after. I turned my head to the side to get some air and shut my eyes. I tried to sleep, but I remembered that Quincy was still in the pull. I knew he was still waiting on me, because I told him that I'd be back.

Huffing, I got up from the bed and headed for the door. I timidly walked through the hallway and successfully passed Jay's door. I made my way to the patio and sighed when I saw Chris sitting by the benches. He turned his head, his eyes met mine and i instantly looked away.

I walked over to the pool and slowly began to walk down the steps. Quincy stopped splashing and swam over to me. He smiled and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, lifting me up and make me burst out into a fit laughter.

"What took you so long?"

Quincy put me down and began floating. I followed suit and closed my eyes.

"I had a really big pee."

I heard Quincy laugh, which made me laugh. Our laughter became louder, but mine died down when I heard another person join in on the hysterics. I stopped floating and looked over to where the sound had come from. The stranger, I forgot his name, was sitting at the edge of the pool with only his feet in the water.

"Jack! This is my sister Beyoncé! Did you know I have a sister now?"

Jack chuckled at Quincy and waved over to me. I slowly waved back and shyly sunk into the water until only my nose, eyes and forehead were exposed. Quincy continued to float and Jack kept his eyes on me. His eyes squinted in the sunlight, but his smile never faltered. Why does he keep looking at me like that? I feel funny!

"What's up Jack?"

I stood up straight and grew nervous when I saw Jay. He smiled over at Rome and I watched as they greeted one another. Jay's eyes then fell on me and he scratched the back of his head.

"Beyoncé."

My eyes widened.

"You mind if I talk to you for a sec?"

I shook my head and swam over to the pool steps. I got out and followed Jay to the patio, I saw Jack's eyes follow me so I moved quickly. His eyes on me made me so nervous. Not the uncomfortable nervous that Chris made me feel. A nervous that I've never felt before.

When we got to the patio, Jay handed me a towel and walked into the house. I dried off my feet and squeezed the excess water out of my hair and followed him into the house. We stopped right in front of the sliding doors and I wondered why we didn't just stop to talk on the patio. Maybe Jay didn't want to speak in front of Chris who was still sitting on the bench.

I stood in front of Jay and looked up at him. He seemed nervous. Definitely not as angry as he was in his room.

"Look...I'm sorry I yelled at you. It wasn't your fault. I should've locked the door." He gave me his familiar sympathetic smile and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"I was just really shocked you know? It's not really something you want your baby sister walking in on." 

What? I was so confused. What did I walk in on? I thought he was just upset that I had entered his room? Thought he maybe had a 'no sibling zone' rule. He seemed to be talking about something completely different. Oh.

"Is it because you were naked?" I shyly giggled and panned my eyes to my toes.

"I didn't see anything." I got on my tippy toes so that my mouth could be closer to his ear.

"You were covered." I whispered.

Jay looked me into my eyes and I could tell he was thinking.

"You...you didn't see anything?"

I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders.

"You must've been in pain though right? You sounded like you were crying."

Jay laughed and I saw his cheeks go red. He shook his head and took a step back.

"I-"

I heard the front door open and close. Jay and I both turned to the door and I heard footsteps approaching. Terrance is back so soon? I thought he said he'd be gone for the whole day? I saw a women with beautiful brown hair appear with the biggest and most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Her teeth were extremely white and perfectly straight.

"Taraji?" Jay asked, confused.

"Hey kiddo. Your dad told me to stop by. I brought snacks."

She walked further into the room and then her eyes landed on me. I didn't think it was possible for her smile to get any bigger, but it did.

"You must be Beyoncé." She placed the bags on the floor and opened her arms as she approached me.

She took me into her embrace and gave me a big hug. She smelled really nice. And her hug felt nice. It felt like moms hugs. She pulled me back and held onto my shoulders, her brown eyes scanning over my face.

"God you're beautiful."

I blushed.

I heard footsteps behind me and soon saw Chris standing beside me. Taraji's smile never faltered, but it got smaller when she looked at Chris.

"What are you doing here?"

I looked over at Chris and frowned. Was he always this rude? I thought his rudeness was only directed at me, but it seemed he had this ugly attitude with almost everyone.

"Nice to see you too Chris."

Taraji picked up the bags and headed for the kitchen with Chris right on her tail. Jay followed behind Chris and I soon followed suit. I was curious. Chris seemed really annoyed. More annoyed than usual.

Taraji placed the bags on the kitchen counter and began taking out the groceries.

"Do you need any help?" I offered with a bright smile.

"Aww sure sw-"

"You're not helping her!"

Chris snapped and I frowned. I swear if I frown anymore my face might just stay like that.

"Don't talk to her like that." Jay shot Chris a death stare.

Chris ignored him and kept his eyes on Taraji. Taraji rolled her eyes.

"Gosh your dad told me to come over alright. I'm just here to bring some snacks." She laughed and held up her hands defensively. "I'll be out of your hair in no time."

Chris shook his head and stormed out of the kitchen. What is with him? Did he seriously just dislike everyone? Taraji shook her head and sighed before turning towards me.

"So sweetie, how about you help me take these groceries out and then you can help me get the snacks ready?"

I smiled and looked over at Jay. Chris had already gotten upset, would he? Jay looked down at me and smiled.

"I'll be outside, you help out in here okay."

I nodded and walked over to the kitchen counter, grabbing a bag.

"So I'm thinking about some sandwiches and then I got some deserts."
