Atlas

Sadie (say-dee) - Black hair, And blue eyes (10)

Noah- Brown hair, brown eyes. (13)

As I woke up in the morning I got ready for school. I got up and just brushed my teeth. My mom isn't around at all so I have to take care of my brother and sister. It sucks that she isn't around. I love her but. She pays for our house stuff and sends me money every month. But another reason I put food on the table for me and my siblings. My mom is just a gold digger, a drug addict but mostly a god damn gold digger. As soon as I turned 18 I got custody of my siblings. I got ready and put my chains on. I messed with my hair a little and walked toward Noah's room. I peeked my head in and he was sound asleep. I opened the door all the way and walked over to Noah's bed.

" Noah... Get up it's time for school" I said while shaking his foot. He doesn't have many memories with or around his mom. SO I'm pretty much all he has. Besides Sadies. Noah started to groan as I woke him up. He looked at me and smiled.

"You and your messy hair Atlas," he said laughing a little. it was 6:00 AM. I smiled at him.

"get up and get ready. Make sure you brush your teeth okay?" I said while still containing a smile on my face. He nodded and got up stretching. I patted his head and started to leave his room. I turned around to look at him. He might not be my son. But I raised one hell of a man. I smiled to myself before walking out and closing his door behind me. He might be 13 but I don't want him to worry about anything. He has a phone already, the same as Sadies. I walked over to her room and opened it a little. I walked over to her bed and shook her arm. I know how to wake them up. I've raised them since I was 12. Got a job at 12 as well. And got a phone from Walmart too. As she woke up she rolled over and sighed.

"Good morning dad," she said while still laying down.

Dad... She looks at me like a father... Really. But she must know I'm her brother. It's okay though. Because I do and will accept that I am their father in a way.

I smiled. But tried to fight back tears. She has no memories of mom. But I have Memories with mom but not any with our dad. But it is okay though. Because I won't feel for a stranger. EVER.

"Get ready okay? I have to take you and Noah to school in 30 minutes." I said smiling at her.

"Okay dad I'll be out soon," she said sitting up.

"Okay, my love make sure you brush your teeth." As I said that I kissed her on the forehead and got up to walk out.

"breakfast will be ready in 10," I said as I closed the door behind me.

I think she knows I'm not her dad. But if she does think I am so be it. I'm going to raise her the best way I possibly can. I want her to have no worries in the world.

I walk downstairs and go straight to the fridge. I grabbed some milk and eggs I walked to the pantry and grabbed some bread and cinnamon. Not going to lie. I can cook. I taught myself through some videos. Anything you want I can make it. But Sadie and Noah Love French toast. As I started making it Noah came downstairs. He was wearing one of my shirts. I don't mind. As I continued cooking I looked at Noah.

"Where Sadies?" I asked him.

"I think she's still in her room want me to go check?" he told me I nodded he went upstairs to check on Sadies.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM YOU PERV" Sadies yelled while laughing.

"I-IM SORRY" Noah yelled while running downstairs. I looked at him in confusion. Sadie loved messing with Noah like that because he doesn't knock. I dont Knock when it's past their bedtime or it's the morning. A few seconds later Sadies started laughing as she walked down the steps slowly.
