My Life Is Different

Chapter Thirty-Four

get the tissues ready this will have you crying....

Another day, another battle. Wether you're in love or just trying to get through the day. You have to keep going no matter what life throws at you. Which is hard but with the right mind set you can make it...you just have to stay positive.

Today we go on tour...yes we. Jake and my family are going. Jake gets to go because my openers backed out because they are sick like stuck in a hospital sick. I sent them my regards and told them how much I'm going to miss them, but Jake gets to come and I'm not complaining. My dad didn't like the idea at first, he says we spend to much time together and that we shouldn't tour together but after a minute or two of begging he finally said yes.

We are taking Maria as well because we are not leaving her with a nanny Jake and I both agreed on that one. We have a custody case in a few hours so right after the court house we are coming back, changing clothes and heading out. I'm in my room looking over my outfit for court. I have on a white ruffled blouse with a black skirt I tucked in the shirt then put on my black heels.

My hair is in a high pony tail with a side braid, I'm really nervous about today because right now her fate is in our hands because we're going to have to explain why she should be in our care, and I don't want her going back to her real family. Someone knocked on my bedroom door,

"Come in"

I turned and saw Jake come in wearing a black suit and tie I can tell he's just as nervous. To be honest everyone in the family is we all have grown attached to her. Jake came over and sat on my bed,

"How you feeling?"

"Scared" I bluntly said I faced Jake "in a few hours we're going to be standing in front of a judge who will decided the fate of Maria and if he chooses that she goes back" my voice broke and I felt my throat start to close up,

"Hey" Jake soothed he stood up and hugged me

"I just" I felt myself start to cry

"All we can do now is just hope" he said "Hope that the judge makes the right decision...hope that she will be ours"

"I'm scared Jake"

He held me tighter "me too"

"Hey" it's my dad

I stepped back and looked at him he's going with us

"It's time"

I looked back at Jake and he held onto my hand

"We'll get through this together"

"We're a team"

I looked at the ring on my finger he got me for Christmas,

"Forever and always" I whispered

We walked out of the room and headed to the courthouse.

We are standing in the court room awaiting for the judge to come back and give us the answer to wether Maria stays with us or goes back home. I honestly think she should stay with us because her real parents didn't even show up but for some stupid reason we have to still stay here and give the judge the reasons on why we would be a much more suitable home.

Throughout the whole process Jake kept holding my hand and it helped calm me down, but not much,

"Can he just hurry up?" I exclaimed

"He's trying to make the right decision it's going to take him awhile" our lawyer said

"Well he's taking forever" I said
