Stolen Innocence

Chapter 1

Laeci's POV
*Beeep Beeep Beeep

I rolled over in bed and grunted in annoyance, I was so tired of this.

I had to get up early every morning to make sure that my siblins were ready for school and so that I had enough time to get myself ready.

Tre'shawn, Alana Alaya and Mace's biological dad and me and Jerome's step dad was never home in the mornin time, he had to work.

Alana helped out a lot too.

I slowly rose up out of bed, I walked across the hall to wake Alana.

"Lana!", I semi yelled.

I walked over to the bed and lightly shook her.

"Lana, come on baby girl get up we gotta get ready."

She rolled over "do I have to?" She asked with sleep in her eyes.

"Yes Lana you do, now getcho but up lil girl you know the drill."

Lana stomped out of bed and went straight to the bathroom the only one we had, I hurriedly went in before she shut the door.

Lana spends hella time in the bathroom if you let her, too much.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face and went to my room to plug up the flat iron.

Once Lana was finished I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

I plugged the flat irons up in my room.

I told her as I got in the shower.

After I got out I saw that Lana was already dressed she had on a pair of faded blue jeans and a white tee shirt with her old dirty black and white chucks that she wore almost every day.

I went to my room and got somethin.

I ended up wearin some light jeans that were cuffed at the bottom and a white wife beater I threw on my dirty black and white chucks and a black hoodie.

Alana then went and got the little kids up so we could get them ready before we left

"Alaya, Mace!" We called through the apartment. Those two never slept in the same place.

Sometimes they slept with me or Alana, or in the livin room on the couch, they were on the couch.

Mace came into my room and gave me a tight hug, I loved my little brother to death.

I gave him a bath then pulled on his briefsor else he would be running around with both legs in one side, he put on his usual khaki shorts and a white collared shirt.

Alaya was old enough to get herself ready she just needed someone to make her.

Once we were all ready to go I gave Mace and Alaya a kiss on the forehead and told them to leave when the alarm clock went off in twenty minutes because Alana and I had to leave.

The bus came and picked them up right in front of our apartment building in the mornings so I was comfortable letting them go alone.

"Hold each others hand" I yelled as grabbed my bag and shut the door with Alana right in front of me.

We walked down two flights of stairs to the first floor and left the building.

When we made it to school Alana and I went our separate ways because she was a freshman and I was a junior.

I walked down the hall towards my locker and saw my best friend Mara standing there.

"whatchu been up to?"
