Julie P.O.V

Rose parent and my parent were best friend back then they lived in the same building apartment in queens,when Rose and I were ten years old our mother take us to central park because we had A+ on our report card. our dads didn't want to go as they were playing dominos at a neighbor place which was normal. when we got back from the park police tape were all over the neighborhood my mom was shaking trying to go over the tape to go check on my dad after calling him so many times without success on reaching him,but the police was quick to stop her from entering the premises.

What's your name ma'am.ask the officer

my name is Ariana Brady,this is Madeline Graber and our daughters we live in the building would you please tell us what's going on.

the officer beckoned someone over to us,whispering something the lady take Rose and I away from our mom's the next thing I knew they were screaming no, rose and I run back to them.they both hug us saying they sorry our dads is gone.the officer say there was a home invasion rose dad got stab and my dad got shot trying to escape I felt my heart break to a million pieces for my family and Rose's family.

it get a bit easier day by day to live without them but we never let our sadness show on our grades we was not einstein but we were exceptionally smart. our dads were accountant they always teaching us things about revenues,equity stuff.couple months after the incident things were getting hard since our dad were they only one working they gone ,now we have no father and running out of money. that's when rose ask wouldn't it be cool if we live together we can be sister. really I'm going to ask mom, I ran to the kitchen calling mom.are you girls ok aunt Madeline ask,I'm fine but mom can rose stay with me so we can be sister.she look at me and smile,let's aunt Madeline and I talk about it, and a month later Rose and I were sister moving to a house in long island in a town call Babylon.it was a bit difficult to adjust on a new environment but I took comfort in knowing I have a sister and two moms.we got made fun of for having two mom but we didn't care.

Three months into our new school things start to look up for us we started tutor kids in math,the teachers was impressed the ask the principal to test us for a higher grade which we past with flying color.they were impressed with two eleven years old doing ten grade algebra.they offer to send us to high school mom didn't want to by the time we turned thirteen moms was getting frustrated of all the pressure on them they ask us to make our on decision whether to go to high school at thirteen or stay in middle school.

two thirteen years old kid in high school that's interesting.we didn't care being the youngest kid,since no body can tell our age unless we tell them,that develop we were.

Rose and I were still tutoring middle school student and now high school we made decent money from it being kids and all

Eight months into high school I met Christopher Jones, a senior and a basketball star player,my first crush.me barely fourteen it has to be a crush. rose tutor him in math I tutor his friend Mason in history. Mason was asking if rose seeing any body,the fact that we didn't want anyone in the school to know our age beside teachers,I tell him yes she have a boyfriend.he seem sad hearing my words but he recover quickly.he invited me to his graduation party he told me to bring rose I politely decline saying I have more student to help.

He smile saying he understand.

I look over at Rose and back at Mason and smile saying if it meant to be it will be,don't worry.he smile and leave the room.

it's been a long day I'm ready to go I tell rose.thank goodness tomorrow is the last day before regent,can't wait to take a break from other people's problems and focus on my plans. I know right,we need to start working on our project said rose.

I think we'll have enough money from tutoring the summer to start on the project before the school year start.by the way Mason was asking about you.

really rose say blushing,yes really judging from your face I can see you interested.

not gonna lie, I kinda like christ but we fourteen we can't be thinking about things like that. our mom is our priority and making our dads proud.beside they senior

I know Jule,it just a crush nothing else.

good evening babies scream moms from the kitchen,hi moms rose and I say in unison.go wash up for dinner food will be ready In five minutes.

we go upstairs to our bedroom change and go back down for dinner.

how was ya'll day,mom look at me we fine what about you girls.busy we have been getting a lot of tutoring gigs since next week it's regents,you girls don't have to do that both of you have a college fund.we know but we have other things plans and we can keep running to mommy's everytime we need fifty bucks say rose.our mom smile and said well you guys have been so busy lately maybe we can take a family vacation this summer. I look down at my plate,I'm sorry moms we have a couple kids to tutor the whole summer.

well Ariana it just you and me all summer. Madeline say.

we sorry moms we promise we'll make some time for the family soon,and will be able to go on vacation anywhere we want.just give us a year or two.

they take a deep breath and sigh ok,now you guys go to bed and rest.

no mom,you cook we'll clean. we'll clear the table and wash the dishes go and watch television. out of no where rose ask,would you be ok if our mom seeing someone else.

to be honest I don't know rose,all I know is that I want them both to be happy.no matter what they choose to do with their lives, but I want to make sure they feel like they don't have to wonder where they next meal is coming from or if they credit card is going to go through at the grocery store.

but they young jule,I think there's a lot of guys that would love going on a date with them.

that I'm sure of, but are they want to.

I never heard them talking about dating,but it's up to them. they have a long way ahead of them.
