Beyoncé pov

"Beyoncé and Aaliyah get up please. it's time to wake up." I heard my aunt Taraji yell outside of our room knocking on the door.

I was half asleep but i still heard everything going on around me. i just didn't want to get up because my bed was feeling extra comfy this morning.

"i'm up auntie." Liyah said shuffling around in the bed. i stayed still not saying a word trying to bask in the comfort of my bed before i was forced to get up.

i opened my eyes right as my aunt Taraji opened our door and saw her walking over to Liyah's side of the room. i took that time to try and get some extra sleep but it didn't work due to Liyah coming over to my bed and sitting on it.

"Hey Bey good morning!" she said hugging me. i had no choice but to sit up and hug her back. "Good morning Liyah. I slept good did you?"

she nodded and i nodded back letting her know it was good she had a nice sleep.

"Okay girls, you guys can stay and talk for a little while i finish up breakfast then we can get our day started" Auntie said. we both yelled okay and faced each other again.

"Do you think it's weird that we share a room still?" Liyah asked me. i shrugged not really knowing the answer to that.

i kind of knew the answer but i just didn't want to know the answer.

i have autism and i was diagnosed at three years old when i was nonverbal. at that age i was supposed to be talking already.

my mom didn't want me anymore when she found out so she passed me to my auntie Taraji. at first i didn't know what was going on but as i got older i realized why i wasn't living with my mom anymore.

she kept my liyah with her because it was nothing wrong with her so she was labeled as the perfect child.

when me and liyah turned five, my aunt found out that my mom was on drugs, which led her to taking Liyah and moving her in with us.

"Bey? you okay?" liyah asked tapping my arm. i nodded realizing i zoned out.

"also im sorry i asked the question and i already knew the answer"

"it's okay liyah i love you" i said resting my head on her shoulder. "i love you too"

the answer was, we shared a room because i didn't do so well without my sister during the two years we were apart. even now i hate being away from her and i get really panicky when she isn't near me. i always think something bad happened to my sister.

me and liyah sat in silence for a minute until our door was being opened again. it was Marcell my cousin but i consider him as my brother. i'm pretty sure he was coming in here to say good morning and annoy us like he does every day.

"good morning girls" he said walking in and sitting on liyah's bed. i gave a small wave before grabbbing liyah's hand to play with the charms on her nails.

"hey Mar. you coming in here to be annoying or you actually wanna be a good brother for once?" Liyah asked causing me to giggle. Mar smacked his lips and threw a pillow at me and liyah.

"unt unn don't be throwing stuff at my baby nigga" Liyah said throwing a book at him. he dodged and started laughing. soon liyah took her hand away which made me frown but she was 'fighting' with Mar so i didn't frown for that long.

while they played i took the time to go to the bathroom and do my morning routine which consisted of taking a shower, brushing my teeth, and doing something to my hair. my hair was in braids so i didn't have to do much to it this morning.
