Dear Beyoncé,
I waved at you in the hallways today but I don't think you saw me because you didn't wave back.
We were supposed to have lunch together like we always do but you didn't show up and I don't know why.
I saw you have lunch with Kelendria and her friends today but you know I don't like them. They bully me, you know this. Or maybe you forgot.
Oh yeah I'm sure you forgot, you'd never willingly leave me behind. I know you wouldn't.
You're my best friend as I am yours. I love you Bey.
Love, Onika.
The slamming of the front door made Onika rush folding the paper slipping it into an envelope before running up to her room door and locking it.
She couldn't have him get in. He would hurt her. She didn't want that!
Tomorrow was picture day and she needed to look good for it. She knew how much Beyoncé liked going through the yearbook and seeing their pictures.
She wanted to look good for her.
Hiding under the covers of her bed, Onika could hear the sounds of heavy footsteps and laboured breaths going down the hallway and then she heard it.
Loud bangs sounded on her bedroom door, she was scared the door would fall off it's hinges if it continued on for long.
"Where's my fucking dinner you little bitch?!" The sounds of her uncles voice made Onika's stomach twist and turn in fear as she tried so hard to suppress her whimpers and still her shaking hands.
She was too scared to tell him that his dinner was in the microwave. She didn't want him to know she was awake. She just wished she was invisible in this moment but sadly she wasn't.
It took almost a good ten minutes before Onika hears him mutter a breathy, "Fuck!"
Onika could hear him burp as he seemed to have passed out right there on her doorway as she hadn't heard his footsteps leave the front of the room but instead hears loud snores.
Sighing out a little breath of relief Onika gets out her bed to place the letter on her bedside table amongst the few others already laid on it.
She wasn't sure when she'd ever have the courage to give Beyoncé these but she hoped soon she could.
Going back to her bed, she soon falls asleep to the very first memory she has with Beyoncé.

"Hey! Let me in!" Beyoncé screamed looking up at the tree house where her neighbor stayed in all day.
"No go away!" The little girl said back looking at Beyoncé through her window.
"But I got you flowers, look it's dandelions!" Beyoncé said holding it up so Onika would see it.
Onika left the window for awhile coming back with a basket connected to a rope, she then threw it down.
"Put the flowers in."
Beyoncé did as she was told looking up as Onika used the rope to drag the basket back up.
"Are they pretty?!"
"They're okay." Onika shrugged, "You can go home now."
"I thought you'd let me in today?"
