"Mommy!" Were you even listening to me?" My 10 year old daughter kizle said taping my shoulder.

"What baby?" I asked.

"Are we there yet?" She asked playing with her hair.

"No baby. We have like an hour left." I said.

"Mama you told us that an hour ago." My 10 year son kaison said.

"Well I do apologize." I said with my eyes still on the road.

Hi, My name is Erica M. Brakes, Daughter of Lisa And Jackson Brakes. Pastor and First Lady.

Sister of Abgail Brakes. All around district attorney.

And then there is me. The family disappointment. The story behind me is very unfortunate and crazy.

Imagine a church girl and her teenage love from the east side of Compton falling in love and she ends up getting pregnant.

Imagine her carrying this secret with her and going off to college and fall in love with a man who wasn't good for her, but yet She stays even tho he beats, mistreats and neglects her.

She stays. But if one day she gets tired of decides to run. Pack up her and her kids and run and never look back.

"Where is daddy?" Kaison asked.

"He is at home." I said.

"Why couldn't he come with us?" He asked.

"Because he wanted to stay home." I said.

"Did you even ask him?" Kizle said rolling her eyes.

They love their dad so much. I feel so bad about doing this but I couldn't take no more. They are to young to understand the situation and I'm not ready to explain it to them.

"Look guys. Mommy and daddy are going through a rough patch right now and mommy needed to take a lil vacation for a while ok?" I said trying to calm their nerves a lil. But the only thing they did was smack their teeth.

Welcome to my life.
