Denise life isn't what she thought it was going to be. She dreamed of being a business woman. Someone who takes charge and knows what the want out of life. But a bucket ice water was thrown at her the moment her father left her life. Now she's stuck...
A scream went through the air making me jump out my sleep.
I looked around to see it was my baby brother Alex crying his little head off.
"Come on Alex you couldn't wait a few more minutes to wake me up," I said with a groan.
I stood up and stretched hearing my bones pop from being the same position so long. I walked over to his crib and looked at him shift and cry.

I picked him up and started to soothe his cries. As I rocked him in one arm I got the things I need to change him then fed him.
After he was burped I put him in the swing set that was in my room.
He was going back to sleep so I took this time to take a shower.
I quickly jump in the shower not waiting for the water to heat up.
The cold water hit my skin sending shivers up and down my spine.
The cold snatch away any tiredness I had as it slowly turned to hot water.
Today was the day I go back to school and I was stressing more than a little bit.
My mind started to roam and questioned started to form. Emotions started to build and yet I stood there.
Why was my life like this? Here I am 16 taking care of a kid that's not mine. Paying bills, working, and just trying to make ends meet. Should I have turned to the system? Should I have looked for my mother?
I rolled my eyes at myself. "Yea right like she cares."
Why do I feel so alone while doing this? My friends helped with watching Alex but of course I can't depended on them like that.
I have to stand by myself on this but why? This is supposed to be the time of my life that I'm supposed to be carefree. I'm supposed to be enjoying my childhood before going into adulthood but then again I never had a childhood.
"This is some kind of life I got." I groaned and a few tears rolled down my cheeks.
I washed and got out the shower before I put myself in a mood I couldn't get out of.
When I got out it was 6:02. I looked to see I didn't have any clean towels.
"I need to do laundry, air dry it is," I said with a sigh.
I did my daily hygiene routine before packing for school. I packed Alex diaper bag then my book bag.
Luckily my school has a day care for teen mothers or I would had really been missing stressed. All I have to do is drop him off and pick him on time even so this shouldn't be this hard.
