Sky POV "...dad!" Ugh. What? "Daddy wake up..." I roll unto my back and faced the source of the noises. "Ugh. Five minutes." I mutter under my breath while facing away only to be sprinkled with cold water. Yes, cold, fresh from the fridge. I curse out loud and roll away only to fall from my bed Wow, what a great way to start my morning. Awesome! Yay! Not. "Okay I'm up. What now?" I turned to my right and caught glimpse of three pairs of eyes watching me like I'm an alien that landed earth. "Dad, its Monday." One of the three answered dryly. I flexed out immediately, jumping out the bed with wide eyes. "s**t! We need to get to school! What time is it?" I lead them to the bathroom hurriedly and turn the tap on. "Relax Da, it just 6:00." Kailer answered with stepping to the tub. It's been like this for three years. Wake up, give them a bath, and cook anything I find and... Wait, have I introduced myself yet? I'm Sky Alexander Thorns, 21, single and smoking hotOkay, I just made the last part up. Yes, you heard it right. I'm single and currently acting as a father-s***h-guardian to my younger siblings. A seven-year-old twin, Kailer and Kaiser, and a three-year-old kid named Alexon. My sibling and I came from different fathers. Thiers dying before Alexon is born and mine being missing after stumbling upon my drunken mother at a bar one night leaving her pregnant and miserable. It's a good thing she kept me after all the things that happened to her, well, I'm thankful for that until three years ago. The thing is... after she gave birth to her youngest, Alexon, she tried to drown the twins once and choked Alexon after claiming that my father is back and she need to get rid of her 'mistakes' erm, kindly pointing at my brothers while saying that her true lover is waiting and they need to be together. I was only sixteen at that time. When I caught her on the act of slitting Kaiser in the throat, I realized that she might not be right in the head and called the cops. She was then sent to a mental institution leaving me with my brothers and a newborn behind. I stopped going to school for a year to tend to their needs. It's a miracle we survived. Well, that doesn't matter now. I dried them quickly and dressed them. They run to the kitchen and sat on the usual table in our crappy apartment. Our place is just a simple one bedroom apartment that has a small bathroom and a kitchen that also acts as our dining area. The place is pretty good for a single occupant, maybe a college student. But us? There are four of us with three kids and a single adult. Very inappropriate for kids if you ask me, I open the fridge and grab the spread and loaves. I spread the peanut butter on one side and covered it with another and puts it in a plate in front of Kailer, I grab another bowl for Kaiser and another for Alexon. God knows how much I thank him for the kids are not picky. I set the bowl of cereal to Kaiser and the oatmeal to Alexon while running to take a shower. The kids know how to take it from there while I ready myself for school. I dropped the twin at school and Alexon to a community day care that is owned by a dear friend. I went to the college I study since I need to be there by 7:30 to open the library. Yup, I work there three hours a day. It pays me good actually and I only have classes for four hours straight from 11:00-2:00, the time saves my lunch money and gives me time to proceed to work at a café. I only take a break to eat any cheap bread and run to fetch the boys and drop them off at the apartment. Well, I'm basically the bread winner so I should work. Some people said that I should put them up for adoption or something but I just cant. Theyre my brothers and they will stay with me as long as I can help it even though Im basically too young myself. I know... life sucks. Big time.
