The Trade

My fault

A couple weeks have gone by and Rylee hasn't been home

Tuesday

“She is so adorable”Rhett stated kissing Krei's cheeks

I stared into to space, trying to keep my eyes open. I havent had any sleep lately. For the past two weeks, I've been working everynight and I'll have Bryn watch the kids for me. She's being real supportive right now, but I still couldn't tell her why Ry is gone. Or even what I do for my money, Im just not ready to tell anybody yet. Im ashamed, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

“She looks like you and mommy” Rais added in

Everytime they get around her, they melt and be actin like lil bitches. Its cute tho. They were very upset that I had gotten pregnant in high school, but very supportive because I still decided to go to the local university(Not a community college) We were all sitting together at Rhett's apartment, Rico,Reed,Rance,Rais,and Rhett were all passing Krei back and forth, we were “waiting” on Rylee. I decided to let Jojo stay home today, so he was playing the game

But truthfully, Ry wasnt coming. I told my brothers we needed to have a family meeting and they all agreed especially because they haven't seen their niece and nephew for about a month

“Um, I guess I should tell you all now that Rylee isn't comin'” I said from my seat where I played with Krei's little jordan's.

“What?” Reed asked

“Where she at ?” Rico cosigned.

Ever since mama died, they have been like our head

Before I started speaking I looked across the pad to see if Jojo was still in the living room

“Ry... she's sick” I whispered

“What's wrong with her?” Rance asked putting Krei's nini in her mouth

“Why couldn't she be here Railin, quit beating around the bush” Rhett said sternly

They were all watching me intently

“Ry is on drugs... she got fired five weeks ago, but I just found that shit out two weeks ago Jojo miss his momma, his daddy already a dead beat, now Im responsible for him, I got krei to take care of, school, work, and I dont know what to do” I said breaking down

They all looked at me , while Reed embraced me in a hug

“Ry's on drugs?” Rance asked again. He was the closest to her, where with me, I was close to all of my siblings,I mean they all I got
