"Your Min...
It's been two days since we got to New York. There are so many people here and everything just has so much life to it. The hotel that we're staying in was beautiful.
"Ms. Rose it's a pleasure to meet you so as you can see this is a two-bedroom apartment with one washroom a kitchen living room. This building also has a gym and a daycare". I then walk around while holding Zac's arm. " what do you think ?" I look down to see Zac with sparkling eyes as he looks at the place. " I LOVE IT" he cheered as he ran around the apartment. " will take it" " great I'll have all the paperwork ready for you, and will be out of your hair in no time"
" thank you so much," I said while she handed me the keys "it's my pleasure, and you be good to your big sister ok" she smiled at Zac before leaving. "I'm always a good boy" Zac huffed as he rolled on the floors.
Time to make this place home.
After hours and hours of shopping, Zac finally had enough honestly, I've had enough too. If you're wondering how the hell can they afford all this stuff. Well, I've been saving some money and again my father had an emergency account for me. (Pictures of the apartment)

"Thena, can I see my room nowwww" "Ok, are you ready" Zac started to jump up and down "ok 3.... 2....1!" I open the door and Zac then rushes inside screaming and jumping on the bed " I love it it's so cool!!!!" Zac yells as he jumps on to me making us both laugh.
"Ok, ok get your pj's on tomorrow you start your first day of school" "Ok" he flops off his bed and starts putting on his pj's and runs back to his bed waiting for me to tuck him in. " ok goodnight. I love you so much" I kiss his forehead as I turn on his nightlight. "Goodnight" he whispers as he begins to fall asleep.
Now for the hard part finding a job. I then sit on our couch as I open my laptop and fire up my resume and apply everywhere. Please please please let me find something. After a few hours, I end up sleeping on the couch only to feel something tugging at me. I wake up in fear it's my mother. I look down to see Zac. " hey baby what are you doing up so late?, you should be sleeping" I pick him up and put him on my lap " I had a scawy dweam .... c-can I sweep with you" he mumbled " hey don't worry I'm with you" I pick him up and walk to my room placing him under the sheets as we both sleep in peace.
