You Ready for this? The last back story for this book until the real stories come in about how we became we? Well same I'm not ready either!

I'm Beau Taina Lewis, I was born to my Pere and Mere, Lionel and Michele Lewis. They were very young at the time of my birth, only 23 and 20. I may be the youngest in the group but I'm the 3rd oldest in my family, so I have my older siblings Aimee (4) and Dimitri 'Dimi' (2), the rest came later but let's just focus on us 3.

We had a pool at our house in France, one day when I was around 18 months, my Mere had to take Aimee to her dance lesson and my Pere and Dimi were watching 'Malo Korrigan' which was a French kids show is 1999 which he was in love with. I was left alone in the kid's playroom so I being an 18 month old wanted to explore so I got out of the playroom, zig zagged around the house, and found the back door opened, somehow got under the pool protecting fence and decided it was a good idea to swim.

My Pere finally got me to start breathing again, and soon enough the ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital with Mere. Let's just say from that moment I was very afraid of water and this is also the moment when my pere started calling me 'bébé d'eau' (Bay-be-do) which basically means water baby, A+ for creativity Pere!

After me drowning, my Mere started blaming my Pere for me being dead for a solid 3 to 4 minutes or something maybe even 6 but who was counting? It got to the point where my Pere started fighting back, it was horrible, even with my mum pregnant and...

After me drowning, my Mere started blaming my Pere for me being dead for a solid 3 to 4 minutes or something maybe even 6 but who was counting? It got to the point where my Pere started fighting back, it was horrible, even with my mum pregnant and all, so they filed a divorce in 2001. That same year in November, my little sister Lea was born.
