Toby is eating breakfast and so do I and then I go upstairs to my room.I get dressed.I wear a orange bucees shirt and white shorts with black sandals.Mommy braids my hair with a white headband.I grab my backpack and run downstairs."Toby you're ready!Mommy!Lets go!"I'm coming!"she screams.It sounds like she was crying."Caleb!"I scream.He runs downstairs."What?"he says irritated."I-I-I think mommy's crying."Well come on let's go see."I nod we walk in mommy's room.She wasn't crying earlier when she fixed my hair."Mommy what's wrong?"Oh nothing baby."Oh okay."I say and walk out."Mommy what's wrong?"I hear Caleb ask her.He's 10.She tells him everything."Daddy and I are getting divorced.We had a big fight this morning."Oh mom I'm sorry."He says."It's fine honey.Im just surprised it didn't wake you and Beatrice up."Oh yeah that's good Bea would've been heartbroken."I start to cry.Daddy left.I walk and tell Toby."Bea it's okay."he says."No it's not Toby."I say."Wait I have an idea!Why don't we trick her into telling me.I mean they don't know I know yet."I say."Okay."says Toby."Mommy where's daddy?"At work."She says."But daddy normally don't leave this early."Well me and daddy are getting divorced Beatrice.We had a fight."I start to cry."About?"Bills,and the house and you and your brother."Why me and bubba?"Because we have to be able to feed y'all and we were arguing about money problems."Oh."I say and get in the car.We drive to school and I go to class and then after school I go to the tree house and cry for hours I think before Toby finds me.
