Fighting For Family

TWELVE

BELLA

ONE MONTH LATER

WEDNESDAY

This month has been. Interesting. After Jake moved in we got a lot closer. We came close to kissing once but we were interrupted. Social services sent us another letter.

This time the letter was saying that we could keep the kids. Now we dont have to worry about foster care. But we do have another problem.

Edens parents are wanting custody of her again. You see that wouldn't be a problem if they weren't alcoholics. And if they wouldn't have abandoned her at such a young age.

Nonah took care of her since she was 6 months old. Her parents come around like once a year. But I'm not giving her up that easily.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked the other older ones. "We will have to hire the best lawyer we can get. But nobody too expensive so people wont suspect anything with us having money now." Jake said. "Yeah I agree." Bray stated.

"So what are we going to tell Eden?" Kat asked nervously. "I dont know. But what I do know is that she is not going to those dead beat low lifes." I spat.

"Ok yall. We are all stressed about this situation. So Halloween is Friday. Let's not make the kids go to school since school is delayed for some reason anyways and have a family day." Jake suggested. "Ok. Eden let's go get the kids ready." Kat said. I nodded and walked upstairs with her.

"I have an idea." Kat said. "What?" I asked. "Well Ed and Bay always like to match us so let's all 4 match." She said. "Ok."

"Ok. For Bay she can wear the overall shorts with a purple shirt under. Purple low top converse and a white bow." I said. "Yesssss." Kat agreed.

"Ok. You get her ready while I pick an outfit out for Ed." I said. For Eden i picked out purple high top converse, blue Jean shorts, a purple t-shirt and a white bow.

I put her hair in a fishtail braid and I put the bow at the bottom. We did the same for Bay. "Ok. This is just adorable." I said. "Yeah. We are getting a picture after we are ready." Kat said.

I then went to my room to get myself ready. I braided my hair in a French braid. Put on my usual makeup. Then put on light blue jeans, my purple cropped hoodie and purple high top converse.

I walked out and saw that Kat was wearing a purple sleeveless crop top, light blue jeans and low top converse. Her hair was also in a French braid.

We went downstairs and saw the guys. They were all dressed pretty decent. Their hair was done too. "Why are you all 4 matching?" Andy asked. "Andy shut up. You know they do this because it's a girl thing." Eli said. "Can somebody take our picture?" I asked.

"Yeah. I will." Jake stated. We all stood together and took pictures. A funny one, a real one, and a kind of slutty one. For that pose me and Kat bent over in a twirking position and Ed and Bay laughed. That was the picture.

"Yall better not be teaching these kids how to twirk. Especially my baby sister." Bray said. "Bray I already know. I do it on the wall." Bailey walked over and put her feet on the wall and did it.

Brayden ran over to her and picked her up. He started walking towards her room. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Locking her in her room until she's 30." He said.

"Oh come on. We gotta get going." Kat said. "Fine. But I better not see that again." He said. "Whatever."

We all piled up in the van. Bray and Jakey up front. Kat, Landon, and Eden in the first row. Me, Bailey, and Aiden in the second row. And Andy, Ryan and Eli in the 3rd row.

We went to party city first. Since we needed costumes. "Hey Bell I have an idea." Eden said. "What is it Ed?" I asked. "How about me, Landon, Ryan, Bailey, and Aiden be the wizard of oz. I can be Dorothy. Bailey can be toto. And the boys can be the lion, scarecrow, and tin can man." She suggested. "That would be so cute." Kat chimed in.

"Would yall be Ok with that?" I asked the other kids. "As long as I'm the scarecrow." Landon said. "I'm the tin man." Ryan said. "Rawwwwrrrrrr I'm a lion." Aiden said. Me and the others laughed.

"What do you want to be?" I asked Elijah. We split up into groups after we picked out the little kids costumes. It'll make it faster. Right now in my group was Eli, Jakey, Aiden, and Ryan.

"The girl I've been talking to wants to be cute nerds together." He blushed. "That would be so cute." I said excitedly. "Whipped." Jake laughed. "Am not. At least I've got a girl mr macho man." Eli rolled his eyes.

"Ok you have khaki pants and a tie. You can wear your converse and all we need to buy is suspenders and fake glasses and a short sleeve white button up." I said. "I'll go look for those." He said. "Can we go with you?" Ryan asked. "Yeah. Hold Aiden's hand." Eli said.

They all walked away. "I have an idea sunshine." Jake said. "What?" I asked. "I know I called Eli whipped but the couples costume is cute so do you want to do that?" He asked hopeful.

"Yeah. As long as I can pick the costume." I said. "Ok. What do you want to be?" He asked. "Lilo and stitch. There is a stitch onesie right here." I picked it up. "Ok. I'll try it on over my clothes."

He tried it on and it fit. Now me. I saw a shirt exactly like Lilo's so I got it. It goes mid thigh. I then got a green lay.

We all met back up together. Kat and Andrew is going to be violet and dash from the incredibles. Bray is going to be superman. He just bought a superman shirt and he is going to wear a white button up shirt over it and glasses. He has met a girl named Ashley.

She is going to be wonder woman. They are honestly so cute. After buying our costumes we went to Bridge Street. An outdoor mall.

We went to a pizza place there and got some pizzas. While we were ordering I noticed Britney the bitch. Sorry Barbie the bitch. Yeah I changed her name from Britney the barbie to Britney the bitch.

Well. Looks like my day is ruined.
