🌟She's Special🌟

Talking Again

"Bella, wait." She turned around and looked at me.
"What is it? My Mom is waiting for me."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say what I did."
"It's okay, I guess." We awkwardly stood there and then she spoke.
"It's okay. You were probably just mad."
"Yeah."
"Bella!"
"I have to go now. I'm going to get my phone today."
"Oh, so then you could text me. Kylie has my number."
"Yeah. Bye."
"Bye." She walked away and went into the car. She didn't look happy still. As I watched her and her Mom talk and then eventually watch the car drive down the road I wondered, what could I do to make her happy again?
"Axel!" I smiled at my Dad and hopped into the car.
"Hey sonny, how was school?"
"It was okay."
"Boring day today?"
"Kinda. Nothing funny happened."
"There'll be a ton of fun moments in the future. Trust me." Hopefully, with Bella.

AT&T (Bella's Perspective)
"Thanks, Mom."
"You're welcome. You deserve it, sweetheart. That report card was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen." I held my phone to my heart and she gave me a kiss.
"And we need to discuss the rules."
"What are they?"
"You can't be on your phone past 9 pm on a school night. Weekends are a different thing."
"Kay."
"There is a tracker on your phone. We talked about it in the store. It's there for your safety and if I find out that you've tampered with it or attempted to deceive me your privileges will be taken. Are we on the same page?"
"Yes, Mom."
"No social media."
"Not even Instagram?"
"No, not even Instagram."
"Why?"
"Because Instagram isn't for 11-year-olds. There are some really inappropriate things on that site."
"But everyone else has one."
"You're not everyone else."
"I know." Mom opened the front door and we got inside.
"Let me see what phone you got? An 8? Bro those things are ancient."
"You're just saying that because you have Mom's hand me down."
"Mommy, pick me up please."
"One second Leia Mae. Let me put this stuff down." Mom put down her bag and Leia gave her a big hug.
"How are you darling?"
"I'm good." She sucked Her lollipop and Mommy gave her a kiss.
"Lucy, Thank you so much again."
"No problem. Anytime." I gave Lucy a hug, we all did, and she left our house.
"So, What do you guys want for dinner?"
"Chinese food," Leia said.
"Okay, What from there?"
"They know us too well, the usual plus beef fried rice."
"On it champ." I talked to my brother a bit and to Leia too.
"Bella, hug me." I wrapped my arms around Lei and laughed as she gave me a kiss.
"Kids?" My Mom sat on the couch and we all turned to her attention.
"We need to have a family meeting."
"Why?" Ryan jumped onto the couch and Leia wrestled with him.
"I love Ryan." She gave him a hug and a kiss. (Kisses have been her thing lately.) I gave Ryan a snuggle too. He's the best.
"I've been thinking about the idea of going on vacation for Christmas."
"That sounds cool. Usually, we go for summer and spring break."
"That's right. But this year is really special because we have a very special person in our family now." We all looked at her and she giggled.
"I was thinking about where to go. Not Hawaii because that's getting a bit repetitive."
"What about the Bahamas?" I said.
"The Bahamas?"
"Yeah, it's a two-hour flight. There's Atlantis with a ton of shops, an arcade, and a water park."
"That doesn't sound too bad. I've actually been to the Bahamas before. I'd love to take you guys."
"So take us." Leia laughed at Noah and we all did a group hug.
"Bahamas!"

Sky-Zone (Olivia's Perspective)
"Mommy?"
"Yes, Leia Mae?"
"I really wanna do gym like Bella." She pleaded. She was so adorable!
"I wanna do tricks like Bella, and acro." We watched as Bella did a back tuck and we clapped.
"You really want to be in acro?"
"Yes. Please, can I be in gym like Bella? Please, please, please Mommy!" My four year old begged. I said yes. It'd be a great experience for her and a chance to explore her talents. But, we also needed to have a chat later.
"Thank you, Mommy."
"And, when we get home we need to talk about something. Okay?"
"Yeah. Come and jump with me."
"Jump?"
"Yes, we're gonna jump." She dragged me to the ball pit and looked at me.
"Mommy, we have to jump in." She giggled and held my hand.
"Okay let's go." We jumped in and I couldn't find her.
"Baby Lei?" She popped up and laughed.
"I was so scared."
"Mommy, I was right here!" We got out and Bella came towards me.
"Mom!"
"Yes?"
"Can we please go?!"
"Why?"
"Because...."
"Because of what? What's up?" Her face seemed super flushed like she was embarrassed about something.
"Bella, what's wrong?"
"We need to leave." She said quickly.
"But I don't wanna go. Mommy make her stop."
"Bella, what's the problem?"
"There's someone here who I don't like."
"Who? Is it a classmate?"
"Yes and he's weird Mom."
"Weird how?"
"I'm not telling you about that." I sighed and looked at the floor. I wish my daughter would talk to me. It looks like I have to talk to both of my girls today.
"Mommy we have to play before the time runs out and we have to go home."
"Alright, let's go play."
"But Mom!"
"Bella, going home wouldn't be fair to Lei. When we get home I need to have a word with you." She sat on the bench and didn't talk to us after that. Girls will be girls.
