Fall To Rise

Chapter 1 (We Gotta Go!)

It Is The Last Week Of The High School Year And Everyone Is Getting Ready For Their Day. Brian Hangs Up His Phone And Walks To His Wife Samantha While She's Making Breakfast For The Family.
"Good Morning Baby"  Brian Says.
"Good Morning" Says Samantha.

"TJ Said That He Can Let Me Work For His Construction Company  But The Only Thing We'll Have To Do Is Move To Atlanta And Move In With Him And Your Sister" Says Brian.

Samantha Is Really Curious About What Brian Will Do Because She Believes That's A Big Move In Her Opinion. So She Asks "What Do You Think We Should Do?" He Says Exactly What She Expected. "I Think We Should Go". Samantha Doesn't Think That The Family Should Just Up And Leave Like Brian Is Thinking So She Asks Him. "Don't You Think That's A Big Jump? I Don't Think We Should Do This".

Brian Immediately Feels Some Type Of Way.  He Feels As If Samantha Isn't Happy For Him Being The Fact That He Hasn't Had A Job In Almost 2 Months After He Lost His Last Job.

"Samantha I Haven't Had A Job In 2 Months And The Bills Are Coming In Like Never Before And We Can't Even Pay Them Because Nobody Has A Job Or Nobody Has Money.  So Were Eventually Gonna Get Evicted And Loose Everything We Have And I'll Rather Leave And Do What We Have To Do To Make Money Than To Be Here Struggling With Nothing."

Samantha Kinda Understands Where Brian Is Coming From But In The Back Of Her Mind She Still Feels That Its Not A Good Idea. So Samantha Remanis Quiet And Says Nothing And Brian Asks Her, "So You'll Rather Stay Here?"  

Deep Down She Wanted To Say Yes But She Understood The Situation That The Family Is In And Knows That The Family Needs To Make A Decision Quickly To Get On Their Feet. This Seems To Be The Only Opportunity To Come Open For The Family So She Just Says To Her Husband Brian. "We Can Leave But When Do You Wanna Leave?".

Brian Knows When His Wife Says One Thing But Was Thinking Another And This Was Kinda That Moment So He Asks "Are You Sure". Samantha Didn't Wanna Try To Make A New Life But She Knew That It's Not About What You Want Sometimes. In This Case Its About What's Best For The Family And This Seems To Be What's Best. So She Simply Answers His Question Saying "Yes I'm Positive".  Brian Wants To Start His Job As Soon As Possible So He Makes A Decision And Tells Samantha.

"I Think We Should Just Leave In 3 Days Which Is The Last Day Of School For The Kids." Samantha Believes This Is Very Quick. " Do You Think We Can Manage To Get This Done That Quickly?"

"Of Course We Can I'll Get The Boys To Help Me Move Things." Says Brian.  Samantha Hates To See The Children's Reaction Knowing That They're Not Gonna Be Happy About The Decision That Was Just Made By Their Father. "Brian How Are We Gonna Tell The Children?". He Says "I'm Gonna Leave That Up To You." It Was Almost Time For The Kids To Eat Breakfast So Samantha Yells For Her Children Saying. "Y'all Come On And Get Your Breakfast So Y'all Can Eat". In Comes Jey, Damesha, Day, And MeAsia. 

Day Comes In Fussing With Jey And Damesha And MeAsia Comes In Yelling About Who Gets The Food First. Samantha Yells For All Of Them To Calm Down And Sit At The Table And She Prepares Everybody's Plates. "Good Morning Momma" Says Jey. Samantha Speaks Back But She Know She Had To Get Straight To The Point.

"Look Kids I Hate To Tell You This But I Have To. Your Dad Found A Job." The Teens Didn't Understand Why That Seemed To Be A Problem.
"That's Something Good He Hasn't Had A Job For A Couple Months Now." Says Damesha.

Samantha Knew The Kids Didn't Understand Where She Was Going With This And She Hated To Tell Them But She Had No Choice. So She Just Flat Out Said It.  "Look Kids It Is Good That Your Father Got A Job But He's Gonna Be Working With Your Uncle TJ At His Construction Company So Were Gonna Have To Move To Atlanta And Were Gonna Be Staying With Your Cousins."

The Teens Face Immediately Frowns.  "Are You Serious"? Jey Asks. "What About All My Friends?" Asked Damesha. At That Moment Brian Knew That They Were Not Happy So He Tried To Cheer Them Up By Bringing Up The Bright Side Of Things.

"Well Kids I Know You Don't Wanna Go But We Have No Choice This Is The Only Thing That's Came Open For Us As A Family And We Can't Afford To Pay Any Bills At This Point Because We Have No Money. This Is The Only Way I'm Gonna Be Able To Get Money And Keep Up. Besides I Can Buy You All Lots Of Stuff Now." The Teens Gave No Response.  They Just Sat There And Was Half Eating Their Food. So Samantha Tries To Help Out By Saying "Look On The Bright Side. You All Get To Stay With Your Cousins And Go To School With Them And On Top Of That You Get To Be In Marching Band With Them. That'll Be An Honor For You All To Be Able To Do That." "They Have The Best Marching Band In Their State".   The Kids Face Kinda Glew Up Because They Heard The Great News About The Marching Band.

"Well Its Not That Bad But I Don't Wanna Have To Remake Friends All Over Again" "Says Day "I Already Don't Half Like Nobody As It Is."  Day Is A Ghetto, Loud, Feminine Gay Guy That Feels He Lives To Dance. 

MeAsia Believes That Its Not As Bad As Everyone Thinks. So She Says "I Think It'll Be Fun For Us I Mean We Can Do This For Dads Sake." "Think About It We Can Be In One Of The Best Marching Bands In The State." "Think About How Many People Will See Me Twirl The Flag, See Day And Damesha Dance And Most Of All Jey They Can Hear You Play That Trumpet Of Yours."

Jey Really Loves His Trumpet. He Practices Every Single Day. He Thinks About How He Can Be A Better Trumpet Player All The Time. He Thought For A Second And Felt That Since This Band Was One Of The Best In The State They Can Learn A lot. So Jey Gets Excited And Gets Out His Trumpet And Starts Blowing. Day Yells And Tells Him "Put That Thing Away You Play It Enough".

MeAsia Wonders So She Asks "Is This A Show Style Band" ? "Yes It Is" Responds Samantha. The Kids Faces Glew Up Like Never Before.  The Band That They Are In Now Is A Show Style Band And They Didn't Like Core Style. So They Was Excited That Not Only That The Band Their Cousins Are In Is The Best In The State But Its A Show Style Too. The Teens Are Excited Like Never Before And Brian Knew This So He Asks. "So Are You Kids Feeling Better"? The Teens Immediately Responds With A Yes. So Samantha Tells Them "We Are Leaving The Last Day Of School For You All Which Is This Thursday." The Time Was Getting Close To Drop The Teens Off At School So Brian Says "Let's Go Kids So We Can Drop You Off At School And When You Get Home Lets All Help And Work Together As Much As We Can So We Can Get This Done So We Can Be Out Of Here By Thursday Evening."

Jey Couldn't Stop Thinking About What His Future Would Be Like Being Apart Of This Band. He Was Almost Ready To Say Let's Leave Now. He Imagined Being Section Leader Of This Massive Band. But He Knew He Had To Wait. 

MeAsia Was Thinking About How She Would Be In The Field Shows And Parades. Even Though Its Nothing New To Her Because She's Done It This Past Marching Band Season. She Was Still Thinking About How It Would Feel To Be Apart Of The Best Band In The State. She Pictured Herself In Newspapers, Flyers, And Pictures Of Her All Over Social Media. She Was Beyond Excited.

Though Day Has His Ways, If He Was Dedicated To Nothing Else It Was Dance. He Was Excited About Doing The Dance Line In This Amazing Band. He Couldn't Wait To Shake What His Momma Gave Him. He Thinks About The Experience He Can Get And All The New Dances And Training That He Can Learn To Make Himself A Better Dancer.

Damesha Felt That Joining This Band Would Give Her A Popular Name.  She Imagined Herself On The Field Doing Splits, Turns And All Sorts Of Things And The Crowd Cheering Her On And People Taking Videos And Pictures For Her While She Performs For A Crowd Of People.

Every Last Teen Was Excited. They Knew That They Had Something Amazing In Store For Them And They Couldn't Wait To Start The Experience.
