Episode 19: The Viral Fallout
Beyonce POV
January 24th
——————————————————

Leaked clips of the family hit on the internet and spread like wildfire before 9am. And who did it? Little Tmz!

B: I told you... do not post that video anywhere! WHAT'S NOT CLEAR ABOUT ANYWHERE??

S: I guess the any?

G: maybe you shouldve said nowhere

B: YOU- UGHHHHHHHHH!

I screamed cus the words I wanted to say were not pleasant.

S: she's doing it again...

G: shes crazy

Ka: ARE YOU SERIOUS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!

Kh: me?

Ka: WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT VIDEO OF ME SINGING!??

Kh: whats are you talking?

Ka: OH DONT PLAY DUMB THIS!

She held up her phone.

Ka: Sorry, I just need to see you, I'm
Sorry I'm so clingy, I don't mean to be a lot
Do you really wanna love me down like you say you do?
Give it to me like you say you do?
Cause it's hard enough you got to treat me like this
Lonely enough to let you treat me like this
Do you really love me
Or just wanna love me down, down, down, down?
Warm enough for you outside, baby, yeah

Kh: is doesnt sound bad whats the problem?

Ka: MY PROBLEM IS EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD SAW IT KHALIL!

Kh: so?? maybe you'll get signed?

K: you know what fuck you khalil FUCK YOU! I can't believe you would stoop this low just to hurt me!

Her voice cracked, her hands shaking with frustration. Khalil recoiled confused.

Kh: What!?? Kalani I'm your twin! Why would you think I'd try to intentionally hurt you?!

Ka: whatever go fuck yourself!

Kalani stormed upstairs and slammed her door, khalil just shook his head.

Meanwhile, me and jay were frantic. We kept trying to reach Zaina, but she ignored texts, declined calls, and her location was off. We decided to drive over again but this time we're leaving with her and ivy.

J: bey, bey! what is that??

It was a sign that said Sold.

B: no way

J: what the fuck

B: jay! what the fuckk!

I fell on their lawn with my hands in my head.

Zaina POV

I clutched Ivy to my chest on the plane, tears threatening to fall. Idris sat beside me calm.

Z: idris I dont know about this-

I: Baby this is the best thing for us. New start. Nobody to bother us. Nobody to judge. We're gonna be okay.

Z: okay

I rested my head on his shoulder, desperate for comfort and validation, hoping maybe this time he had changed.

When we landed we took our stuff into our new penthouse in new york. I looked down at my daughter and my...growing belly hoping I made the right decision.

Kalani pov

I sat on my bed, finally wiping away my tears. I opened TikTok hesitantly, bracing myself for the internet's reaction.

K: ...okay

I took a breath before reading comments. Surprisingly, they were good. People loved my voice. They actually wanted me to sing more. My lips curved into a small, genuine smile. But there was a pang of guilt. I was totally a bitch to Khalil and he was actually helping me...fuck.

Khalil POV

I sat in my room, still tense from the fight with Kalani, when my phone rang.

Kh: hey baby

Amyra's voice was nervous, stumbling around the words.

Amyra: Khalil.. uh... I-... can you come over

Kh: whats wrong?

A: Just come over..please.

My chest felt kind of tight, whatever it was she had to tell me I was sure it wasnt good. I know she has a horrible relationship with her mom because she's kind of an abusive drunk. I hope shes okay.

I grabbed my keys and threw on a hoodie running downstairs. I bumped into Kalani.

K: Oh khalil can we... talk?

Kh: Not now.

I ran out the door.

Kalani lingered outside the door a moment longer. She sighed feeling a wave of regret wash over her.

A/N🩷: This chapter is kinda crazy but I had to make a bunch of unexpected changes so😗
