India & her sisters in mm .
(Crystal - curls , Brooke- next to Crys , Morg - blond , Bre - reindeer ears)
India Westbrooks .
I stepped onto our tile wood floor, shutting and locking the door behind me.
I heard all the chatter stop in the dining room.
" India, is that you? " I heard my moms small voice say.
" Yes ma, it's me. " I threw my clutch onto the coffee table and stepped out of my shoes.
As I walked into the dining room, all eyes were on me. There was a lot of eyes too. All my sisters were here. Crystal, Brooke, Morgan and Bre. I was the youngest. Brooke had brought her 3 kids Allan, Angela and Amaje'J . Crystal and Morgan brought their new boyfriends and Bre brought her son Tyler. My baby brother Blake, who just got back from camp, sat next to all my uncles, aunts and family friends.
Tyler broke the silence by running over and jumping up on me. " Auntie India is here! "
I chuckled, picking him up and kissing his small cheek. " Hey Ty baby. You missed me? "
He nodded and outstretched his little arms. " I missed you this much! "
I smiled and outstretched mines even more. " Well, I missed you this much. "
He pouted. " Dang, you beat me, squid ward tentacles. "
I laughed and sat him back down. He was referring to my arms, which aren't even that long.
" Have a seat, India. We just started eating. " My dad shot me a fake smile. I slid into a chair in between Crystal and Morgan.
"Ooooh, You in some deep shit." Morgan whispered to me. I looked over at Crystal who nodded.
What did I do? My sisters swore they wouldn't say anything about Chris, so what could my parents be mad about now?

" All the company is gone! You can kill her now!" Blake yelled, running up the steps.
I bit down on my bottom lip. I refrained from chasing his big head ass up the stairs and slamming him.
" Snitch. " I mumbled under my breath. At least I had my sisters on my side.
" What did I do? What do they know?" I looked at all 4 of them, pleading with my eyes. They just shook their heads. I guess they weren't on my side either.
" Come in here India! "
I put my head down, slowly walking towards the living room. I wasn't in the mood for this bs.
I stepped inside, plopping onto my favorite recliner.
" So, you've been coming home late, not calling us, to tell us where your at or anything." My mom said, tapping her chin with her acrylic nails.
" Strike one. " My dad said in a singsong voice.
" Then... we see this. " She tossed me her iPad and I caught it, lifting it up to my face.
You know that face when you show you boyfriend something you caught on his phone and he get to squinting at the screen? Yup, that's what I was doing. It caught me off guard at how the paparazzi was so sneaky. They had caught pictures of August walking me to my car and they even had the pics of me and Chris at the awards. Now I see what Chris meant about the paps.
Before I could speak, Crystal came in. " Y'all shouldn't do her like this. She just doing her job. Yall should be proud of your baby. Look, she's in magazines, on the red carpet. Her fame is growing. Yall pointing out the negatives but what about the positives? "
I smiled up at her. She told them. That's why me and crysissy were so close, she always had my back.
My dad nodded. " She has a point, our baby is doing big things. She's working with Chris Brown for God sakes. "
My dad was the good one. It was like good cop bad cop with the two of them. And my mom was definitely the bad cop.
She sighed. " I just don't want them to take advantage of you. Your a beautiful young lady and I don't want them to try and make you do things you don't want to. "
If she was talking about sex, I would want to do that, they didn't have to tell me twice. I refrained from saying that cause my mom couldn't take a joke. It would turn into a whole lecture. Plus, I was still practicing abstinence so she had nothing to worry about.
" I promise they're not. Chris is a really respectable man and I like working with him. August is a gentlemen to. I just met him today though and all he did was walk me to my car. "
" See, gentlemen. " Crystal consigned, smiling.
" Just start calling us and telling us where your at okay?"
" Okay, daddy. "
My mom pulled me into a hug and my dad kissed my forehead. I ran out of the room like it was no tomorrow.
" Come help me find something to wear, we're going to a party. " I said, grinning at my sisters.
