Fighting For Family

SEVEN

BELLA

"Look for yourself." She basically threw the paper at me and Bray. She looks really pissed.

It basically said that our incomes were very low and they noticed. And if we dont find a way to make more money in two months to support the kids then they will be put into foster care.

"Holy shit." Me and Bray said at the same time. "Yeah. What are we going to do?" Kat stood up and started pacing as she asked that. "I dont know. But we will get through it." I said as I stood up.

"Yeah. I'll take more hours at the shop." Bray suggested. "No Brayden. You work a lot. I'll look for a second job tomorrow. We will have to talk to Andy and Eli though. They will have to help out with the kids." I said. "What if they take them away? I dont know if I could live with myself if that happened." She started crying.

And soon we fell to the floor and I started crying. Brayden crouched down and hugged us. "We will get through it. We have to for the kids and Nonah. Now calm down. Yall know I hate seeing yall cry." He soothed as he rubbed our backs.

Eventually we were calmed down a little bit. "Now let's go to bed and we will worry about this later." Brayden said. He kissed our cheeks and went upstairs. Me and Kat went up to our rooms.

As soon as I got into bed Ryan and Aiden cuddled me. Then sleep consumed me.

THURSDAY

I woke up to my alarm. I carefully moved the kids away from me so I could get up. I decided not to shower this morning since I done it last night.

I brushed my teeth and put my hair in a French braid. I then threw on my Freddie Freeman Braves Jersey, since they have a game today. Blue Jean's and my white converse. I tucked in my Jersey.

For makeup I did foundation, mascara, chapstick, and highlight. I then got my bag and went to the kitchen. I placed my bag down then went to all the kids bedrooms to lay out their clothes.

After I laid out their clothes I went to the hall bathroom and waited for the kids to come in so I could get them ready.

Eden came in first. I picked out a more casual outfit for her so I just put her hair in a ponytail and curled it. I put mascara and lip gloss on her.

Then was Landon, Ryan, and Aiden. I just brushed theirs to the side and sprayed it with hair spray since I couldn't do much because we ran out of gel.

Then was Bailey. She was already awake and she said she wanted to dress pretty. So I picked out a pretty dress for her. I tried a little bit of her hair in a hair tie then put a big white bow in her hair.

After I was done with them I went to the kitchen. "Awwe Andy we're matching." I went over and pinched his cheeks. "Stop Bell. You're so embarrassing." He said. I gave him a big hug and held him. "Hurry Bray get the picture." I said as I smiled and continued to hold Andrew in my arms.

"Got it." Brayden said and laughed. "Send it to me please." I ordered. "Already did."

"So help me if you post that." Andrew mumbled. I would never post that. I only post pictures where everybody in it looks good and he looked terrible.

We all ate breakfast then the kids got on the bus. "What time does the game start tonight?" Brayden asked while picking up the remote. "6 I think." I said. "Ok. I'll record it so we can watch it during dinner." He said. "Thanks cuz."

We got in our designated vehicles and left for school. When I got to school I went straight to my locker. Bray came too since his locker was next to mine. So was Kat's.

"Sunshine why did you copy me?" I heard a voice say. I turned around and saw Jake. He was also wearing a white Braves Jersey and blue Jean's. But he was wearing his Jordan's instead of converse. "I didn't copy you. You copied me." I stuck my tongue out.

"Whatever. At least they ain't the same player on the back. Mine is Acuna Jr. And yours is Freeman." He stated and smiled. "Yeah."

"Smile kids." We heard Brayden say. We both turned and gave him a weird look. "Haha." He said. "Delete it." "Nope. Now I have blackmail on you baby cousin." He laughed. Jake was smirking.

"Ok well at least get a good picture of us." Jake said. "Yeah." I agreed. "Get on my shoulders sunshine." Jake ordered.

"What no. Why?" I questioned. "Just do it." He said. I climed on his shoulders. He trumed so his back was facing the camera. "Move your hair from behind you and point to the name on your back. I'm doing the same." He stated. "Ok." I said and did what he told me to.

We heard a flash then Jake turned around. "Take one of our faces now." I was still on his shoulders. Brayden snapped the other picture. "Now put me down." I ordered. "Nope." He said and started walking towards Mrs. Jackson's class.

"Bray did you send the pics?" I asked looking down at him. "Yeah." He said. "Can you please put me down. I'm scared." I said acting scared. I wasn't really scared but I wanted to be put down. "Sure." He squatted down and I got off of him. We were already outside the classroom.

We went inside and took our seats. Then Britney the barbie bitch walked in. "Move." She told me. "No. You aren't even in this class." I spat. "I got my schedule changed. Now move." She ordered. "She said no Tiffany." Jake chimed in. I laughed knowing he got her name wrong on purpose. "Uhm actually my name is Britney." She said sweetly.

"I really dont fucking cars what your name is Tiffany. Now go away and leave Bella alone." He said through gritted teeth.

She finally left and took another seat. "Thanks Jake." I said. "No problem sunshine. She's ugly anyways and she stinks. Like she smells like fish." Jake chuckled.

"Ewwww. I dont want to know how you know that." I literally almost threw up in my mouth. "Ewww you're gross. I would never sleep with that fish. You can just smell her from a mile away." Jake chuckled again. "You really can." I said.

The teacher came in and the lesson started. It was really boring.

The day went by slow and pretty soon it was lunch.
