"Ok Jamal can you go to ten for me?"

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Ni..."

"Nine sweetie, repeat after me ok?"

"Ok"

"Nine..."

"Nine."

"Good job! Now can you go to ten for me?"

"Yes! One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten!"

"Yay." I started to clapping as I picked him up and held him in my arms. I sat down and he fell asleep laying on my chest.

Lately I've been helping Ms. Carol with the younger kids. I'm so thankful that she has allowed me to stay here so I thought I'd try to help out anyway I can. I'm currently helping my little Jamal with his numbers. Even though I've only been here for a month and a half, I love this little boy to death. He's been here since birth, his dad was shot and killed at the age of 20 when his mom was seven months pregnant and his mom died giving birth at the age of 17. I feel so bad for this little boy, and it hurts worse knowing that he doesn't understand any of this now being that he is five years old. It's makes me feel less sorry for myself seeing all these different kids and hearing their tragedies.

Ms. Carol came in the room and grabbed a sleeping Jamal out of my arms.

"Thank you so much Tyra for helping out around here lately. I appreciate it a lot, I wish more people would do what you do for me at this home sometimes chile."

"You're welcome Ms. Carol, thank you for letting me stay. I know you had a choice whether to accept me or let me go to a different home."

"Your welcome, now I saw heaven downstairs looking for you."

"But-

"No buts Tyra you've been working hard these past couple of days with these kids. Its time for you to go out and have some fun now go."

I giggled "Alright bye Ms. Carol and bye Jamal." I kissed his cheek

Once I hit downstairs I saw Trevor on the couch sitting with heaven cuddled up on his side. They are so cute. There were a couple other people in the living room as well. I made my presence known by plopping in the couch next to heav.

"Ty!" She yelled and hugged me

"I know I know, I've just been helping Ms.Carol these past couple of days."

"Ok I was starting to think you were avoiding me."

"Girl no! I just wanted to help out around here you know."

"That's why I love you ty, your so sweet and nice. You know I can't stand badass kids though."

I laughed "Whatever"

"So we were invited to a party tonight and I want you to come, no ifs ands or buts about it."

There was nothing I could say cause what heaven wants she gets and I know if I didn't go I would have hell to pay so I agreed.

"It's going to be outdoors so don't dress too fancy."

"Alright, who's party is it?"

"Trevor's cousin Jade, she's cool."
