When I finally get inside, I punch the wall. I am so angry. Right after I hit the wall my phone started to ring.
"Hello?" I ask with a very angered voice
"WOW someone is mad." Ugh its brandon.
"What do you want?" I ask harshly
"I can't brandon! I have to work and I have to take care of lisa."
"Come on I just for a little bit?"
"No! That's my final answer okay!"
"Fine but you need to let loose soon."
"I will as soon as I get caught up at work and can afford a babysitter."
"Megan can watch little Lisa. She just got done with her child class or whatever."
"That would be nice but I still have to work. OH GOD! NO! NO! NO!""What? What is it?"
"I have a term paper due in an hour. I can't do it because I have to get ready for work and put Lisa down for her nap. UGH I hate this!"
"I'll help if you want. Your mom should not have left you to care for Lisa and yourself. Alone."
"I know. She didn't want us as soon as she had her. Lisa should have been put into foster care but, you remember my uncle Lee right?"
"Yeah why?"
"He kept her from having to go into the foster care system."
"Your only 16 you shouldn't have to deal with a 5 year old sister and school. On top of that maintaining a stable job."
"I shouldn't but I have to. If I don't we will be evicted and put into foster care. I don't want that for Lisa. I need to do it for her."
"I know you do. But you should ask for help sometimes. I know you won't because your stubborn."
"I don't need help I can do it on my own. I just have to manage my time."
"Rose you need to get help. Your going to get too stressed, I will help if you'll let me. Please let me."
"Fine. You can help."
"Okay what do you need?"
"Food and my bed."
"Okay, I will get you food. You go to bed. I'll be there in 15 minutes."
I drag myself to my room and decide to take a quick shower.
After my shower I notice that brandon is here with food. Wow he wasn't kidding he really wanted to help.
"Rose, I brought you food. Go eat."
"Aren't you going to eat something too?"
"If you don't mind me joining you."
"I don't, thinks for this, you really didn't have to."
"I know but i wanted to help so i am going to, as much as i can."
Soon we heard the pitter patter of Lisa's bare little feet running through the hallway.
"BWANDON!!" she called out
"Lisa what have I told you about running in the house?"
"Not to. I sowry."
"It's okay. Just don't do it again okay?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Hey Lisa, How have you been?"
"Good wanna come play?"
"Sure. Just give me a moment and I'll be in there."
"Okay." we watch her skip down the hall.
"She really loves you Rose."
"She loves you too Brandon."
"Like I said, don't be afraid to come to me for help if you need it. I will gladly help you out. It seems to me like you'd both like me to come over more."
He is right. I would like if he came over more but i'm not going to tell him that.
"Lisa would. It would be helpful if you were here."
"That's why I'm going to be here anytime I can be."
"Okay. But only for Lisa. I have to get ready for work. Thank you for the food and the help with Lisa."
"No problem I'd do anything for yo...y'all."
Why did he almost say you, He doesn't like me does he? No, I doubt it. He can't, he has a girlfriend. But it's possible he could while he is dating her. I still doubt he would. Were just friends. Ugh now I'm over thinking. I walk to my room to get ready for work, when my phone lights up on my dresser indicating I got a message.
BFF: Party at Terry's you comin'?
Me: No I have work and if you sent Brandon to try to convince me too, he didn't do a very good job. Tho I might drop by on my way home.
BFF: Okay and I didn't send Brandon he went himself. Well gtg ready. I'll hopefully see you at the party. Love Ya Bye.
Me: Bye
As soon as I finish getting dressed I start on my make-up which is very little.
A little mascara and some chapstick.
"I just put Lisa to bed." Brandon says, peeking his head in my doorway
"Okay thank you." I watch him through the mirror walk towards me.
"You look beautiful Roza." he whispers in my ear.
"Thanks?" I say, but it comes out more as a question.
"You want me to go home? I can stay if you need me to."
"It would be nice to have some help in the morning. You can stay if you'd like but I have to get to work. I get off at 10:50 but probably won't get home till 11:15. You can sleep wherever and you don't have to wait till I get home. If you need anything call me."
"Okay."
We hug goodbye and i head off to my car.
Brandon's P.O.V
As soon as Rose leaves I decide to take a shower.
"BWANDON!" Lisa yells
"What is it Lisa?" I ask when I get to her room.
"I can't sleep."
"Why what's wrong?"
"I want Rose."
"She has to work. She'll be back in a couple of hours."
"But I want her now!"
"She has to work so, will I do?"
"I don't know. I still want Rose."
At this point she was crying. I pull out my phone and call Rose
"Rose?"
"Yes? I can't talk long. What do you need."
"Lisa is crying. She wants you. What do you want me to do?"
"I knew this was going to happen again."
"What? What do I do? Help me please."
"She's having an 'I want my mommy' moment, just comfort her. I'll be home as soon as I can take off. Good luck." She hangs up the phone and I head back to Lisa's room.
"Lisa?" I ask quietly. But when I peek in I see she is fast asleep. I head off to do my original idea after Rose left. Take a shower. That i originally decided to take.
