Still Holding On

Chapter 1

Juliette

Oh my goodness can you all believe it has been 11years! Ya girl is officially 33years old. And no me and KT aren't married yet. Matter of Fact we aren't even together. He wanted to live the single life for a few years so I said better yet you can stay that way. Now me and my children live in Miami where KT is playing for the heat. Carynn lives in Orlando with Julian and their three girls, Madison, Madelynn, and Malone.

Axle is 18 years old and exactly what I thought he would be. He is the basketball big time senior. My baby is handsome so there are always lil girls running behind him. Of course he is still attached to his mama.

Ace and Aiden are both 15 years old and sophomores on high school. They are also handsome. That's one thing I can say, me and KT make beautiful children. But Ace is always loud and outgoing and on his third level. He plays basketball like his brother and dad. Aiden isn't turned up too much. He is just a pretty boy who likes to chill in the cut, but he went a different route and plays football.

Last but not least we have our princess, A'Kenya who is 12 years old. Yes we ended up having a little girl. She is super smart so she skipped a grade putting her in the eighth grade. She is a daddy's girl. She is under her father as much as she can be.

All of our children went to public school. I wasn't going for that private school shit. I need them book and street smart. But yepp that's our life.

We live in a nice mansion in Miami with there father living maybe twenty minutes down the road. My kids are my life and have always been.

"AAAAHHHH MAMA! MAMA! TELL HIM TO STOP" Kenya came running in my room with Axle right on her heels not far behind.

She tried to jump across but he snatched her back and held her down. The twins came in behind them and started smacking her stomach.

"Alright! Stop hitting her!" I yelled coming from the closet.

The twins let her be but Axle wasn't moving. "Take it down Kenya!"

"You're not my dad Axle!"

"But I am. What's the problem?" KT walked into the room.

Ace handed his dad his phone, "Look at this picture she posted Dad. She already look to grown now she being nasty!"

"Y'all like nasty girls!"

Ace laughed, "No we fuck nasty girls."

KT punched Ace in the chest before I could respond. Axle was mugging the hell out of his sister. The bond those two share is sooooooo strong.

I took the phone and looked at the photo. This girl must be crazy, "Where did you get those shorts A'Kenya?!"

"From the mall."

Axle finally let her up before storming back to his room. He is pissed. The twins shook their heads before walking out.

"A'Kenya take the photo down."

She sighed, "Ma I'm almost in high school."

"Girl this isn't a negotiation. Take it down and bring me your phone!"

She wiped some tears, "Dad!"

"She got me beat on this one baby doll."

Axle came back, "Come on Kenya. We gon go through all your clothes."

"Axle! Stop being mean!"

He grabbed her and pulled her to her bedroom. I laid out across the bed. They drive me crazy sometimes.

"Axle!"

He came walking in the room, "Yeah Dad?"

"Take this and get y'all dinner and don't knock on this door."
