Start Over

"I'm fine Auntie" I spoke to Aunt Kylie who literally bombarded me when Storm dropped me off to her place. "Are you sure? Storm was crying and you had me worried. She wouldn't tell me who you were with and I got nervous" she told me. I walked towards the kitchen and took out some orange juice from the fridge. I poured a cup before chugging it down.

"Storm told me that Zendaya got us backstage of Coachella and asked Beyoncé to keep us hidden. She didn't want to risk me being seen by...them" I told her in slight disgust. I watched her eyes go wide when the words passed through my lips. "Beyoncé? Did she say anything?" She asked. She looked a little nervous and it made me confused. "Say anything about what?" I asked her. "Like, about anything?" She pressed. "She asked if I was okay and all that" I told her plainly.

I didn't think she needed to know that I met some of her family and got her nephew's number.

She nodded, "okay, did she ask about your family or anything like that?" She asked. I rolled my eyes, "no, she asked about me. What's with all these questions?" I asked her. "Nothing, it's nothing" she told me. "Auntie is there something that you aren't telling me?" I asked her, putting my cup in the sink. "No?" She stated more as a question. I stared at her. She sighed, "okay, maybe" she started.

She pulled me to sit on the couch.

"Okay well, Kim texted me like thirty minutes ago saying that Shawn Carter is coming past the house and they want you there. If they ask about Beyoncé or anything, please just say you know her songs and that's it" she stressed. "Shawn Carter? As in JayZ? What is he coming to the house for and why do they want me there?" I asked. "I promise I don't know what he's doing here but I do know they want to see you. I gotta drop you off tomorrow morning" she told me. "So, why do I need to lie about Beyoncé? I should spit in his face for cheating on her" I muttered, folding my arms. She chuckled, "not necessarily lie, remember, you didn't go to Coachella. All you know is her music and what's on the internet" she told me.

None of this still makes sense to me. I knew that Jayz and my dad knew each other since like the early 2000s. I've seen the shaderoom post and other shit about him supporting Shawn when he was dropped from all of those brands when the divorce was announced. But why do I got to lie about it? I don't like his ugly ass anyway.

"Okay, I got you auntie. I'm gonna go to bed, it's been a long day" I told her, kissing her cheek and walking upstairs.

When I made it to my designated room, I pulled out my phone and decided to text Julez to tell him I was home.

Julez 🥶

I'm home, I got in like thirty minutes ago but I got bombarded by my aunt

Cool, my mom was just pressing me to see if you got home or not 💀

Tell Solange I said I'm fine, thank you 😭

Did you take your meds?

No, I can't. I just drunk some orange juice to balance everything until I can take my meds when I go home

Why can't you take them now?

What's with all the questions?

I can't be worried for the wellbeing of my newfound friend?

I guess
But
For one, my aunt only has my lower level pills which I hate since they give weird side effects. And two, I was supposed to take it when I had my last meal for the night which I already did.

Damn
So like
I'm gonna ask this because I'm hella curious and it's the nosey libra in me but, do you have like diabetes?

lol
No
I mean, I have a glucose defect in my system. My blood doesn't get enough sugar so if I don't eat something high in sugar or take my meds it could lead to hospitalization

But you passed out today?

I had my epipen, and if I took it longer than fifteen minutes, I would have gone into a short coma

I didn't wait for his response and decided to get myself ready for bed. Today was so draining literally. All I want was my bed.

I honestly didn't know why I was telling someone that I just met all of this but, he had this comforting aura about him that made me want to tell him. The only people that knew about my condition were my family and Storm. Not that I had any other friends to tell it to.

Julez just gave me this feeling that I knew him. Well, everyone that was in that room tonight did. Especially Beyoncé. I thought I was tripping and I was just feeling the beginning effects of my sugar being low when I felt that feeling flow through my body when we first locked eyes when she was on stage. But, I felt it again when we were in the same room. In fact, I felt it stronger than the first time.

I didn't miss the looks on everyone else's faces either when they looked at me. A mix of shock and recognition was seen. It worried me that all these people looked liked they have all met me at some point in my life but I have never met them at anytime besides tonight.

And Y/n...you could clearly see she held this dominating aura around her. When I was talking to her, it felt like I was talking to myself but more in a metaphorical way. Like, the way she held herself and how she spoke just felt so familiar.

Maybe I should bring this up to Storm. There has to be some logical explanation as to why I felt this connection to people that I've never met before this situation ever in my life.

Do I know them?
