=A week later, April 11th=
( JayJay's POV)😱~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you guys aren't hiring at all? I have a buddy that works there and he told me that y'all had open positions left" I argue.

"Nah sorry bruh, they just ain't hiring right now blood. And who was ya friend?" ....this guy was so unprofessional, it's crazy that he had a job. But what can you expect, it's McDonald's...

"Never mind" I hang up instantly, rubbing my head from the stress.

This was crazy. Just a week ago, I was spending money like it was no tomorrow. But now me and my sisters might have to find a new place to live, because the house we live in now....is way too expensive. Not even a 7 dollars an hour job could help us with these bills.

And speaking of bills, guess what came in mail today?.........Bills. Damn, a nigga really bout to start growing grey hairs soon.

*Door open and closes*💢🚪

I watch Kaila come in through the door, just returning home from school I hope. She puts down her bag on the couch and walks into our dinning room, sitting at the table with me.

"Hi brother" she greets me.

"Hey, how you feelin'?"

"Better, now that I have medicine to help with the upset stomach"

"Mmm" I nod my head slowly, looking down at my fingers.

"So...we're really broke huh?"

"Yep. All I have is 500 dollars that's upstairs. That alone can't pay for my car, the house or my Damn child support..."

"She took you for child support?" her mouth drops.

"Yeah but that was when money wasn't an issue. And it's not like she has a lot of bread anyways, so as the mother of my child, I was helping her out"

"Mmm. So what are we going to do?"

"I-uh....I really don't have an answer to that. But.....I think we're gonna have to start looking for a new home soon, because I can't pay the bills or get anyone with that kind of money to help us. Even if someone did pay our bills this month, what about the next one, you know?" I sigh.

"What about our Aunts?"

"Well you know, Aunt Ray lives in Delaware, Aunt Riley is traveling with her family around the states and Aunt Brandi is in Jacksonville. No one lives in Miami no more..."

"Oh...."

"So which one would you go with? You really only have Aunt Ray and Brandi to choose from honestly"

"Maybe I'll just stay here and live with one of my friends..."

"Nah sis. I think it's best if you go live with the family...."

"Why I gotta live out of state? I have people here just like you do..."

"Like who, Kai? Like who?" I fold my arms.

"My friends..."

"Why can't you make new ones? Ones that are really friends and not the fake people you hang out with. Because if I can recall, your "friends" treat you like an outsider. And don't even get me started on your ex..."

She sits back in the chair and folds her arms, looking away after my statement. It was truth though, Kaila's friends sucks and she had to know that. And I think it would be better for her to go live with family instead of a friend. They have a nice stable home and good judgement to guide her in. They could help her take care of the baby she's carrying and since she's only 16, I kind of have the right as her guardian to send her wherever...
