Saving My Life

Christmas Break

"Ok. I understand. Thanks for letting me know." Ariana says, finishing her phone conversation with Kayla.

"Well Taylor, this is good news for you and Skai. Kayla is going on vacation with her family for winter break. She won't be able to tutor you until January 7." Ariana says, sadly.

"Yay. I'm gonna spread the good news to Skai." I say, going to the other side of the living room to call Skai.

"Hello?" She says.

"Skai, Kayla can't tutor us because she's going on vacation for winter break. We are free from her until January 7." I almost yell into the phone.

"Yay! We are free!" She screams, probably because she is home alone.

"Why are you screaming?" I ask since she almost broke my ear drums.

"Because I'm bored. My mom and my sister went to finally enroll my sister in school. She's going to 2nd grade. You know she's 7 right? The only reason she hasn't been in school is because she wanted to be homeschooled like me. Now she wants friends."

"Well how about you come over here? Sean and Ariana are about to go record a song together. I know the twins are young but their fans are getting bored. I'm babysitting them. Can you help?" I suggest as Ariana and Sean go upstairs to get the twins ready.

"Sure. I'll be over in a few. Bye." She says, hanging up.

I go tell Ariana and sean that Skai's gonna help before they leave. She arrives while they are waiting for the limo.

We go upstairs and into the nursery where they twins are in their cribs, both staring at the ceiling. We take them into Kenzie's room since the lights in their room are always dim. Kenzie allows them to borrow her crib while we play with her.

"Kenzie, what do you wanna do?" Skai asks as I finish putting the twins under a light blanket.

"I wanna play with my new Barbie Dream House." She says, leading us to her doll house section where there are 3 huge Barbie Dream Houses and a giant trunk full of different Barbies, Barbie Babies, and Ken dolls.

"This one." She says, pointing to the biggest House of the 3.

"Wow Kenzie. When did you get this?" Skai asks, sitting down to play while I reply to a text message from Peyton.

P: Hey. Watcha doing?

T: Me and Skai are on babysitting duty. Wanna come over?

P: Sure. Be there in a few.

T: Cool. I'm gonna invite Zach over too. Haven't seen him in awhile.

P: K. Talk to you lates. Bye.

I look up from my phone before going to my contacts and finding Zach's name.

T: Wanna come over? It's me and the girls. Babysitting.

Z: Maybe. What's in it for me?

T: Seeing the twins. You've only seen them like once right?

Z: Good point. Be over there soon. Bye.

I turn off my phone and start playing with Skai and Kenzie after telling Skai who's coming over.

The doorbell rings and Skai stays up here with the kids while I go answer it.

"Hi guys." I say to Peyton and Zach.

"What's up?" Zach says, following Peyton into the house.

"Well,-" I start to say but am interrupted by Skai.

"Taylor, come up here now. Hurry." She yells making me run up the stairs.

When I get to Kenzie's room, the twins are screaming and crying with some sort of white looking liquid all over them.

"Did you spill milk on them?" I ask Skai.

"No, Alyson puked on them." She answers.

"Gross. I'm not touching that." I say, backing away.

The other girls follow me, leaving Zach standing by the crib.

"Zach, you do it." I command.

"I'm gonna go make them a bath." I say before he can protest.

"Ugh." I hear him groan.

I run to the girls room and run them a warm bath, but not too hot. When I'm done, I go see what progress Zach has made.

"Hello." I say innocently.

"Oh. Nice of you to join us." Zach says sarcastically, taking out another wipe to clears the twins.

"This is just a suggestion but why don't you just take their clothes off and they can take a bath. They have plenty of other clothes and we can just wash those." I say sweetly.

"Oh. Good idea." He admits sadly.

He takes their clothes off and I wrap them in blankets that will also be washed. I pick them up and walk to the nursery where the bath is in Kaylee's bathroom. I unwrap the towels and place them in the shallow baby bath.

When they are nice and clean, I dress Kaylee in a pink onesie and Alyson in a purple one before going downstairs where everyone is watching TV.

I put them in the portable crib and sit. Ariana calls and says that they are on their way and they have Chinese.

The Day of Vacation

"Taylor, wake up. Vacation time." Sean whispers, shaking me awake.

"Alright. I'll be ready soon. Have Ariana come get me if you need help with the twins." I say, yawning at the same time.

"Ok." He replies, turning on the light and closing the door behind him.

I get up and brush my teeth since I took a shower last night and do my hair and makeup. I get dressed in a white off the shoulder sweater, pink leggings, and white converse. When I'm done, I grab my phone, my 3 bags and go downstairs.

Sean is waiting downstairs with Kenzie who is still half asleep since its 3:30 in the morning.

"Hey. I got stuck with bag duty. Go help Ari with the twins. They need to be dressed. I'll take your bags to the car and put Kenzie in there too." He says.

I leave my bags and run up the stairs.

"Ari, Sean told me you need help."

"Yes. Get Aly dressed please." She says, struggling to dress the squirming Kaylee. Alyson is also squirming around in her crib.

I hurry to get her dressed in a light purple onesie and some white jeans while Kaylee is dressed in a light pink shirt and white jeans.

"Ok. Let's go." Ariana says, bouncing Kaylee up and down while we walk down the stairs.

We walk outside with the twins and put them in their car seats. Sean locks the door and we all get in the limo, only hearing the sound of scattered yawns.

At the Airport

"Alright everyone, we're here." Kevin says, yawning afterwards.

He helps us with our bags and wishes us good luck before driving off.

"Ok let's get on the private jet. We're gonna be riding in that until the twins are 1. I hired a babysitter for the kids and there's a tiny play space for them." Ariana says.

We hurry to put our bags and everything else on the jet before getting on and everyone goes to sleep.
