Saving My Life

The Mall Tantrum

Zach is in the picture above.

Ariana's House: 3:00 pm

"Taylor, wake up. You fell asleep during Saw 4. Come on, we were thinking about going to the mall." Zach says, shaking me awake.

When I open my eyes, all the kids are sitting on the couches in the living room. My head is laying on Zach's shoulder and when I wake up he greets me with a smile.

"Hey beautiful." He says, stroking my hair.

"Hi." I respond, lifting my head and smiling.

I get up and go upstairs to shower and do my hair and makeup before getting dressed in some white skinny jeans, white boots, and a silver sparkly off the shoulder sweater. I grab my purse and emergency money before going downstairs.

Kenzie is waiting with the kids in the living room.

"Ariana said we have to bring Kenzie with us. Her and Sean want some alone time with the twins." Skai said , crossing her arm's.

"Don't worry. I'll keep her under control." I say, even though I am secretly a little upset at Ari for putting kids in control of a toddler.

"Alright, let's go." Cameron says, leading us out.

I pick up Kenzie as we walk to the neighborhood mall. I don't want her to run off.

When we get to the mall, Kenzie is getting a little squirmy in my arms so I put her in the stroller we brought just in case.

"No. I want out. Put me down." She says, putting up her arm's.

"No Kenzie. I don't want you running off." I say, leading them to the mini toys r us store to keep her calm.

We buy her a couple of toys before going out, much to her dismay.

"No. I wanna stay. Stay, stay, stay. I want more toys." She says, drawing attention from a few people.

"Kenzie, quiet down please." Zach says.

"I want more toys now!" She yells, getting more attention.

"Mackenzie Tatiana Grande, don't you dare yell at anyone like that again." I tell her, bending down at her level.

She responds by quivering her lip, then bursting into tears.

"Mackenzie stop it, now." Zach says, picking her up.

"Guys, should we just go back?" Peyton asks.

"No it's fine. She's never acted like this before. It's probably just a one time thing." I respond, making Zach put her down so I can hold her hand.

"Mackenzie, if you calm down now, you can have a treat when we get home." Zach tells her, pushing the stroller along as we continue walking.

"Fine." She agrees, letting me put her back into the stroller.

After we walk around for a few minutes, she falls asleep and we finally go shopping.

The Way Home: 6:30 pm

We have finally finished shopping and we're on the way home.

"Hey, I'm gonna go home now." Peyton says.

"Me too." Cameron, Karan, and Skai say walking home after Skai.

"I'll make sure you get home safely and then I'm gonna go home." Zach says, opening the door for me.

When me and Kenzie are in the house, Zach goes home and I put Kenzie in her crib before putting up my stuff and going to find Ariana and Sean.

Instead if them, I find a note on the kitchen table in Ariana's handwriting.

Me and Sean went on a night out. We hired Niya to take care of the twins. She's probably in the back if the twins are asleep. We let her bring a friend so they could have fun in the new pool house. Surprise! They built it while we were gone. I had to pay extra because of the holidays but its worth it for you. It's in the back. She has a baby monitor for the twins and Kenzie. Have a good night. :)

I go out back and find Niya and her friend in the pool.

"Hi Niya." I say, sitting in a pool chair.

"Hi. This is my friend, Mariana. We've been friend's since 1st grade. Mariana, this is Taylor." She says, smiling at her friend.

"Hi." I say, getting up to shake her wet hand.

"Nice to meet you." She replies, going underwater when I sit back down.

"Well, I'm gonna go back inside, let you have fun. Don't worry about the kids. Feel free to leave when you want. Oh, and here's your money." I say, waving and placing $500 by her stuff.

"But, I didn't do anything." She says before I leave.

"That was a test. Ariana told me to do it. She said if you took the money then you weren't a good babysitter. But you didn't so you are a good babysitter. Keep the money. Think of it as your prize. It's from me, all of it, for taking care of my nieces and little sister."

"Thanks." She calls as I walk out.

That girl will definitely have enough money for college working for us. Especially if I keep giving her money for no reason.

I walk back into the house and decide to eat some dinner.

I eat some mac and cheese before going upstairs and checking on the kids.

They are all asleep so I go in my room and turn on the TV. I end up falling asleep while watching Spongebob and never get the chance to take care of the twins.

When I wake up, I can hear the twins crying in the baby monitor. I turn off the TV and check the time. 10:00. They are still gone. Niya must be gone too because she would have taken care of them.

I run to their room while thinking all this and open the door. I run to Aly first and take care of her before taking care of Kaylee. When they are asleep again, I take Kenzie to the bathroom before feeding her and putting her back in her crib.

We always put diapers on her during the night, just in case.

When the kids are all asleep, I go back to my room and turn on Spongebob again. After a couple minutes, I fall asleep again.

A/N Hey guys. Tried to make the chapter long today. Does anyone think Ariana and Sean are in danger? Please tell me if you want them to be in danger. If no one does, I might just surprise you. Bye.
