Am I My Sister's Keeper

Intro I.

I.
Houston, TX

Beyoncé wiped the sweat from her forehead as she got off the bus after school. If it wasn't hot enough in Texas already the fact that the bus had no air didn't make anything better.

Beyoncé continued her journey home as quickly as possible. When she opened the front door she walked in.

She saw her youngest sister on the floor watching TV. Her youngest sister looked at her and smiled. She got up and walked over to her Beyoncé.

Beyoncé scooped her up and kissed her cheek. Beyoncé walked in the kitchen and saw her other sisters eating and doing homework.

Beyoncé had four other sisters. Solange, age twelve, Rasheeda, age ten, Brooke, age eight, and Tiana, age three. Beyoncé was the oldest at fourteen going on fifteen.

"Hey y'all." Beyoncé said.

"Hey Bey." They said.

"Where's mama?" Beyoncé asked Solange.

"In her room." She replied.

Beyoncé nodded and sat Tiana down. She went in search for her mother.

She went upstairs and she was where Solange said she would be.

"Hey mama."

Her mother looked at her and smiled.

"Hey baby, how was school?" She asked.

"It was cool." Beyoncé said shrugging. "You about to go somewhere?"

Beyoncé noticed she was dressed and doing her make up.

"Yeah, I was waiting on you." She said.

"I'm babysitting?" Beyoncé dryly asked and her mother laughed.

"Not today baby girl, you're going with me."

"For real?" Beyoncé asked smiling.

"Yeah, I'm just waiting for your father to get here to watch them." She said as she finished getting ready.

Beyoncé laughed imagining her father babysitting.

"Go put your bag away and wait downstairs."

Beyoncé nodded and headed towards her room. She tossed the bag on her bed and headed downstairs.

She went back in the kitchen.

"Hey, I'm about to go with mama somewhere." Beyoncé said to her sisters.

"No fair, I wanna go." Solange said.

"Not this time." She said.

"Who gonna watch us though?" Rasheeda asked.

"Daddy." Beyoncé said.

"He not my daddy." Resheeda said and Beyoncé rolled her eyes.
