" ok class today your homework assignment is to write a story over how your life has changed in a year starting now to the new year. It will be due when you get back from Christmas break and must be 2 pages or more." our professor said to us and then turned to write more information on the board which I quickly wrote down. I finished writing the other instructions down and started packing up my things. The final bell rang telling the students class was over and we can go home.
I walked out of the room to the parking lot and walked to my car and drove to my house. I got to the gate and the guard opened it for me. But before I go on let me explain some things. First the reason for a gate on the house is because I'm dating the captain of the L.A. Lakers basketball team, Jacob Walsh.
Now let me explain myself to you. My name is Bridget Elizabeth Parker and I live in Sacramento, California. I have dark chocolate curly hair that goes down to my mid back and mocha colored eyes. My dad died when I was 6 from cancer and now my mom has a house a couple streets down from mine. California is my hometown and I have lived here all my life. When I was 16 my mom got a company job that made her go everywhere she would be gone to a place for 3 months at a time. So my 13 year old sister Stella and 4 year old brother Brayden is my job now. They look just like me and my mom except Stella's hair is a little shorter and Brayden's isn't curly it is spiky in front. I've been taking care of them for awhile now and I'm basically their mom/sister. They live with me and Jake in our house that we bought a couple months ago. Jake loves Stella and Brayden to death and vise versa. Stella once said if she was older and I wasn't dating Jake she would. And Brayden is just like the little brother Jake never had he is already teaching him how to play basketball. I love them and wouldn't trade them for anything.
Currently Brayden is at a birthday party for one of his school friends and Stella is over at a friends house. I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner. Tonight we are having spaghetti and meatballs. It's our favorite meal. I was recently putting noodles in the pot when the alarm went off to the house and seconds later I heard " Brie are you here?". " yes in the kitchen" I yelled back to my boyfriend, Jake. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist I turned around to see Jake's chin resting on my shoulder. I smiled at him. Jake has sandy brown hair and ocean blue eyes.
He kissed me cheek "hey where are Stellz and Brady at?" he asked me. "oh Stellz is at a friends house and Brayden is at a birthday party for Josh. What time is it?" I answered. "It's 5:30 why?". I stared up at him with wide eyes dropped the meat that was in my hands and ran to get my purse.
"crap I forgot to pick them up" I said to myself although Jake was right behind me. "brie chill they're probably not even ready yet or know what time it is" " your right I have time" he nodded opened the drivers door for me and I got in "aren't you gonna come with me?" I asked confused. He smiled at me " I have to finish dinner remember" he told me. "oh yeah I forgot I'll be back in 10 minutes can you have it finished by then?" "I'll see what I can do" he said then smiled his million dollar smile at me.
I drove to go pick Brayden up first. He came running out to the car with a huge smile on his face and got in the back seat of the car. "hey bridgee" he smiled at me. I laughed at how excited he was "hey Brady-bear did you have a good time" "ya I had a great time I won a basketball for shooting the most free throws at basket ball" he said still smiling. "cool Jakes gonna be really proud of you, and you said you played basketball right?" I asked starting the car and heading towards Amy's house to pick Stella up. "ya" he answered.
I unbuckled Brayden from his car seat and went to knock on the door. Amy's mom opened the door and greeted me and Brayden and we walked inside. "Stella sweetie your sisters here" Amy's mom ,Linda, called upstairs. A few seconds later we heard two pairs of feet running down the stairs. And then Stella appeared with Amy at her side at the bottom of the stairs. " hey gabi " she said as she came to hug me then Brayden. " hey stellz are you ready to go?" I greeted her.
" ya but Gabi can Amy spend the night?" "she can as long as it's ok with her mom" I said as I turned to Mrs. Wright. "it's fine with me if you think you and Jake can handle two 13 year old girls and a toddler" she said and smiled. "ya that's fine I'll drop Amy off around noon tomorrow sound good?" "ya that sounds fine" "ok then come on girls" I motioned towards the door.
We got home and went inside. "What are we having for dinner Gabi?" Stella asked me. "Spaghetti and meatballs sound good girls?" "Yeah" the said together. We set the table and ate. "Stellz you need to take a shower Amy you can take one to if you want there is a bathroom down the hall from Stella's room" "ok thank you Miss Parker" Amy said. "Sweetie I'm only 19 I'm fine with you calling me Bridget" I smiled at her as I stuck a dish in the dishwasher. "oh ok thank you Bridget" she said then turned with Stella to go upstairs to take showers.
"Jake" I called. "Ya Brie" he said as he walked through the kitchen door with Brayden at his side. " Can you give Brayden a bath while I finish cleaning up the kitchen please" "Ya sure c'mon little guy" he told Brayden he gave me a kiss and walked out of the room towards the bathroom.
Five minutes later Stella and Amy were in there pajamas watching a movie in Stella's room. I walked in "lights out at 10 please" they nodded and stared back at the screen I smiled and walked out. I said goodnight to Brayden and headed to our room.
I found Jake on the bed looking at the TV. Screen. I went to lay down next to him "I invited the gang over for lunch tomorrow is that ok?" he asked me. "mmhhmm" I mumbled tiredly to him. "go to sleep babe you've had a long day" he told me and pulled me closer to him. I just nodded and drifted of to sleep with him humming 'god bless the broken road' our song.
