A Life Like This

..My heart still bleeds for you..

Brooklyn's P.O.V
Chills swept over my body and my breath became white from the cold winter air. The more the wind blew the more I grew impatient with standing at the corner waiting for Breeze's bus to arrive.
Today was her first day of school and even though waiting in the freezing cold was absolute torture nothing could compare to seeing her beautiful face light up as she runs down the steps of the bus when she sees me standing here waiting for her.
On the other side of the road stood two couples that looked to be in the mid-40's.
"waiting for your sister" one of the older ladies asked, smiling at me warmly as if she wasnt intending to be nosey. "no,not my sister" I responded trying my best not to give attitude. With a puzzled expression the lady looked at me and then soon nodded as if she understood my life story quickly turning the other way."I understand A cousin. ..I hope" I snapped my neck toward the lady as if she had lost her mind questioning me.."No, not my cousin but since you insist on being in my busi-" I stopped once I saw breeze's bus in clear sight and her little head looking out the window.
Once the bus came to a stop she was the first to run off. arms wide open for embrace and a beautiful smile across her face.
"Mooommmyyyy!!" She jumped into my arms and I spun her around holding her tightly. I could feel the stare from the lady across the street. I looked up only to see the look of disgust across her face but she doesn't even know me. Lucky for her breeze was here or else she would be hearing a mouth full of disrespect from me.
I hate when people pass judgement and don't even know a thing about me. So what I'm a young mother..I made a mistake but my daughter isn't. It's not like I was opening my legs for any cute boy that called me pretty...I feel in love..I just made a mistake.
Grabbing breeze's hand we headed back home. "sooo,tell mommy about your first day of pre-school.!! I bet it was great"
"mommy it was reawy great !! We wearned how to pack cubbies and it was easy mommy!!some kids don't know how but I did! We even wearned a morning song. You want to hear it mommy??" She asked, bursting with excitement.
"Yes,baby sing it to mommy" she cleared her throat and I couldn't help but laugh she was so silly. "Good morning world. It's morning. let's have a good day.good morning world it's morning no frowns on your face. Good morning world it's morning.we'll have a great day YaY,YAY,YAY!!!"

We both bursted in laughter as I opened the door to our three bedroom apartment. Walking in I threw my keys on the coffee table.
Breeze ran straight to the kitchen and grabbed a fruit snack. "Did you ask??"
I said as she tore open the wrapper."mommy can I pwease have a snack"
I nooded yes because saying no was pointless. she had already ate half of it. "Do you like our Good morning song mommy" plopping onto my couch kicking my feet up to relax I responded "Yes baby, I loved it"
