Juvie Girl Has A Daughter?

chapter 8

I get home and go straight to my room to change into some sweatpants and a hoodie. I check the time. It's about 4 am. I go upstairs and out to the patio. I sit on my patio sofa and think. I hear the door slide open. Stephanie comes and sits next to me.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so zoned. " She asks.

"I was talking to my dad and we were talking about Caden. We actually have talked about this before but I have always just brushed it away. But my dad said I should try to collect child support for Sabrina. "

"Why haven't you though? " She asks.

"He denied her. At that point in time, if I had tried to get anything out of him, I would have had to take him to court. " I say. I yawn and lean back.

"I think it's a good idea. I mean you pay for everything. You barley make enough to pay all of your bills and to be able to buy Sabrina things and take her places. " Stephanie explains.

"So you think I should go to court? " I ask.

"I'm just saying that the child support would help you. And with how much he makes, you would get a lot for her. "

"I'll have to think about it. I don't know if I want to go through all of that. "

"Think about it. But whatever you decide, I fully support you. " I smile.

"Thanks Steph. I'm tired. I'm going to bed. " I say.

We stand up and go to our rooms. I lah in bed and think. I really don't know if I need to do it. But it's really been on my mind lately.

"Sabrina! Stop! "I yell. She continues kicking my seat and throwing her tantrum.

" Sabrina stop. Your mom is trying to drive. "Stephanie says.

" No! "She cries.

"I can't fucking deal with this today. I haven't had to deal with a tantrum like this since she was 4. I'm too hungover for this bullshit. "I pull the car over and put it in park. I get out and open the back door.

" Why are you acting like this? "I ask. I unbuckle her seat belt and move her over. I get in and shut the door.

"My necklace. "She cries.

" She lost her necklace? "Steph asks.

" No she broke it and then lost it. She called me earlier and said she broke her necklace and I told her to put it in her bag, but she didn't. Now she doesn't know where it's at. "

"It's at grandpa's house. "

"Well then grandpa will find it. Now stop throwing your tantrum or you're grounded. You need to stop acting like a baby. It's a fucking necklace " I say getting out of the car and back into the drivers seat.

"It's not just a necklace! It's Charlotte's necklace! " She yells still crying.

"I FUCKING KNOW OKAY! I know it was hers. Why do you think I'm so mad Sabrina? "I say. I'm so stressed right now.

" Can't you call your dad? Was he there? "Stephanie asks. I sigh and grab my phone from my purse. I dial my dad and wait for him to answer.

" Hey honey. "

"Are you home? "

"Yea why? "

"Sabrina lost her necklace and she's throwing a tantrum. She was screaming and crying and kicking my seat. I couldn't drive home. I had to pull over. " I say.
