I Hate...

(Disclaimer: none of this is her real family)

Onika's POV
Same day

I made my way into the living room standing to the side due to not knowing anyone and also there was nowhere to sit, as I got comfortable where I was Beyoncé and her friends came in as well still slightly conversating while looking around. But her eyes wondered the room with more urgency than the others before they stopped on me I gave a small closed smile as she eyed me in a worrisome way before she smoothly made her way to me with them following along with curious faces but you could see they wouldn't dare to say a word, "Whats wrong?" She asked as she stopped her steady steps in front of me causing me to lift my head to her due to the major difference in height. And for once it seemed like all her attention was on me willingly, her eyes held curiosity and some sense of caution I guess from the emotion my face was holding but I gave a quick and fake reassuring smile "Nothing" I softly spoke looking at her eyes that also have some real happiness and a pure glint.

Her eyebrows softly furrowed with her head slightly tilting as her curiosity grew through her eyes that softly squinted at me giving me the chance to remember the times when she did before. I felt a real, wide smile come across my face at the thought as she was about to speak until some woman interrupted her causing us both to look in her direction "Alright everyone the food is almost ready so if y'all would like we can do prayer now" she smiled in front of what I believe is everyone. She was a caramel tone with a mixture of dark and dusty brown curly hair with a petite figure looking around Bey's age maybe a bit older, I saw Beyoncé grimace in the corner of my eye as she looked at the young woman and I felt the air between us change causing my own to scrunch up a bit "Whats wrong?" I asked leading her to turn back to me with slightly wide eyes as if she was caught in something "Nothing.." she spoke with a fake like smile that made me straighten my face which she took notice to seeing I wasn't taking kindly to her actions.

She sighed lowering her head to the ground then looking at me "I have uhh history with her..." she spoke biting the inside of her lip looking past me with mellow eyes, normally when people say that they hold a different meaning but her mood was far from the average "What happened?" I asked coming closer to her seeing some darkness come into her shortly lived happy eyes. Her lip twitch as her eyes started to grow of anger until she blinked it all away only to show a blank face "Nothing, we just have history." She nodded looking at me now giving me a small smile that was nowhere near genuine then walking over to her more adult group. I sighed to myself looking down trying to see as to why she keeps closing me out as I get her to open up, I looked over the room and the people seeing about four of them around my age including Solange. Two boys one light skin with a curly top fade and a dark skin with waves that weren't the best I've seen, they were already glancing at me along with some of the older people with confused and slightly aggressive faces to me "Who come with?" I heard a older woman ask from the left of me as I stood at the bar of the kitchen next to a empty high chair I didn't want to embarrass myself getting on.

"She came with me" I heard Bey say clear and defensively, I looked up at her as she turned to everyone and making her way to me standing before me as if she was blocking me from anymore questioning. The room slightly fell to silence seeing as everyone held either shock or confused expressions "Beyoncé?" the same woman ask as I now found the source being an older darker tone woman standing up from her spot on the large dark brown couch that was against the wall facing the tv, she had flat ironed hair that was a little over her shoulder looking around her late thirties mid forties but she looked well body wise. "Aunt Kimberly" Bey spoke with a emotionless voice looking at the woman standing her ground against her as if she's been wanting to for so long, the woman grew a slight smile as if she didn't believe her eyes as did some others but they didn't hold smiled they still kept shock faces "Wh-where have you been?" Her now resolves aunt asked as everyone else made faces of agreement.
