It's complicated {completed}

"Morning honey. I need you upstairs please. Nate's daycare is closed today and I have a lot of meetings going on today. What means I have to leave here in 5 and ever since you don't have classes today I thought you could spend some time with your brother." My Mom enters my room without even knocking.

"Ehhhhhhh."

"Come on. Upstairs. Now." I roll over and check my phone. Bloody hell its 7:40 on a Friday morning. This women really has no mercy.

"Maya Grace White. You better get your lazy ass upstairs before I'll do something the both of us will regret."

"Jeez. Calm down I'm coming." I don't even bother to put on some proper clothes, so I just go straight upstairs. Isaac and Gill are fighting about something while they both get in the car.
I need coffee.
Like a gallon of coffee.

"Alright make sure he takes his nap, I'll be home by 5:00 maybe 5:30. He needs..."

"Jeez mom. It's not the first time I take care of him. Go. But mom?"

"What?"

"I have to leave here by 5 can you please be home by then?"

"I can't promise anything." And off she goes. Well whatever. As I'm reaching for my coffee mug something runs straight into me. More like someone and that someone is my cute little brother Nate.

"Hey buddy what's up?" I ask him.

"Mayaaaaa. Wanna play."

"Hold up friend. I gotta get some coffee first here."

"Coffee? Maya needs some coffee?"

"Yes. Did you have some breakfast yet?"

"No." He violently shakes his head. "Want some juicy."

"You had some yet? Go and check mommy's and daddy's bathroom." Don't ask me why but he always leaves his cereal and drinks in my parents bathroom in the mornings. So off he goes to check if he can find it.

"Don't have any." He tells me a minute later.

"Alright then let's get you some. I'm hungry. You want some breakfast?"

"Pancakes!" He yells and his eyes immediately light up.

"Pancakes it is then." We make them together and I cut of some fruits (you gotta be at least a little bit healthy right?).

"Okay buddy. What's the plan for today? You wanna go somewhere or stay home?" I ask him as we both sit at the table eating breakfast.

"Wanna stay home. Uhhh let's play the car game." He's talking about the game of the life. He legit loves it. The only thing he does is grabbing to cars and racing on the board.

"Okay but eat up first." Once we finish eating we clean up, play and read some books. After that we decide to bake something. Whenever I'm bored I start baking. Cookies, muffins, cupcakes, waffles, cake pops. Name it I'll do it. We quickly decide to make some carrot cake muffins. The good helper Nate is, he stirs for me and helps me to fill the forms. While they're in the oven I feed him his lunch and then put him to bed. That's also my call to get ready for tonight so I jump in the shower and do my hair and makeup. Once I put some comfy clothes on I decide to go upstairs to eat something. But as I'm about to go upstairs I can hear someone walking and opening drawers in the kitchen.
Okay Maya think: it cant be Nate because he's upstairs sleeping and there is a gate which he can't open.
Mom didn't tell me about anyone coming today. So it must be a burglar.
Hot fudge. My stomach starts growling. You're such a fat ass.
"What I'm hungry?" I whisper to myself.
Maya there is someone upstairs breaking into your house. Stop thinking about food for once in a while.
Okay okay. What do I do tho? (Oh and yes i always have conversations with myself so don't mind me thanks.)
Go and grab something sharp. Painful.
Sharp and painful? I look around and the only thing that catches my eye is a pencil.
Seriously?
Oh come on you can poke someone's eye with it. I defend myself... from myself.
Okay be quiet. Whenever I go upstairs there's a burglar he sees me and shoots me. End of the book. Tadaaa.
