“Mum will you stop it”
“Come on Pen, dance with me”
“Mum your drunk its 3 in the morning” Penelope was almost in tears….
Calleigh came rushing down the stairs….
“Penelope go to bed now, you have school in the morning”
“Im sorry mum” Penelope ran upstairs
“Mum what the hell are you doing, its 3 in the morning, your drunk and your acting ridiculous”
“Calleigh, why cant you be like Penelope…..you too serious” Magenta slurred her words
“Mum please go to bed, its late and I have to be up in the morning for school”
“I don’t like you, your too like your father”
Magenta flopped onto the sofa and instantly fell asleep
“Night mum” Calleigh whispered as she turned the light out and climbed the stairs to bed. Calleigh had learned not to take her mums words to heart, especially when she was drunk. She loved her mum but she wished she wouldn’t act like this, it hurt Calleigh so much.
“Mummmmmmmy” Calleigh jumped awake at the sound of her baby brothers voice
“Mummmmmmy, scared me”
“Can somebody please shut him up” Magenta screamed
Calleigh climbed out of bed and stumbled into Masons room, Mason grinned at the sight of his big sister
“Call, up up” Mason stretched his arms up and Calleigh lifted him out of his crib
“Hey baby, did you have a nightmare?” Calleigh cuddled Mason as he buried his head in her neck
“Aww there there Mason, shall we go wake the others up?”
Mason laughed and shouted “up bed up bed” his way of telling them to get up out of bed.
Calleigh crept into her little brothers up
“Jakoby, time to get up sweetheart”
“up up up” Mason giggled
“Come on tiger, breakfast time”
“Coming” Jakoby moaned
Next it was Faiths turn to be woken up but when she walked into Faiths room she was nowhere to be seen.
“Faith, where are you” Calleigh called thinking Faith was playing one of her hiding games
“Faith come on, time for breakfast, I might even let you have coco pops for breakfast” Faith loved chocolate cereal, Calleigh only let her have it sometimes though.
“Argh Faith get out” Calleigh heard Penelope scream
Calleigh laughed, knowing Faith would have hid under Penelopes bed, so when Penelope stood up Faith would have grabbed her leg.
“Downstairs in 5 minutes please guys”
Once everyone was sat at the table eating Calleigh could finally go upstairs and get ready for school. Calleigh was very thin for her age but she hardly had time to eat after running round after the little ones.
Next she managed to get Mason to nursery and Faith and Jakoby off to school.
Penelope met up with her boyfriend and went to school with him.
Calleigh was only half an hour late to school which was extremely good for her, Mason usually screamed and wouldn’t let her leave but today he was off playing with his friends before Calleigh had even finished saying bye.
