Chapter 14

I couldn't sleep for the past few nights, and if I did if was only for a couple of hours

My mind was still wrapped around the moving in with my birth family thing

I love them, don't get me wrong but... I've known this family for as long as I can remember, I don't know if I want to leave them yet

But I also don't want to hurt their feelings, I groaned in frustration as I took one of the pillows on my bed and covered my face with it

I heard the roaring of an engine outside, not again...

I tossed the pillow off my face and hopped up from my bed, looking out the window and seeing our new noisy neighbor with his stupid car continuing to drive up and down the street

I groaned and placed my head on the cool window

I just wish things would be a little easier
~~~~~~~~~
When we got to school, we saw Leo at the very front of the line. Today was Locker Reassignment Day, and knowing Leo, he wanted to get the best locker

"Leo, how'd you get to be first in line for locker reassignments?" Chase asked him when we walked up to him

"Oh, since I couldn't get any sleep, I've been here since dawn. FYI, you do not want to see the lunch ladies without makeup." Leo told us.

"Wait, they wear makeup?" Bree asked surprised and Leo nodded his head. I heard Adam walk up behind me so he could listen to the conversation.

"But since I'm first in line, I'll finally get the corner locker." Leo said.

"Wait a second. I thought this was the line for lice check?" Adam said. He made a face when he realized he was wrong and then walked away from us. Leo looked over at the corner locker and stared at it dreamily.

"There she is. Locker 106. Away from the traffic, near the cheerleaders, and I can see Principal Perry before anyone else. And a two second head start could save a life." Leo pointed out and Bree, Chase, and I all agreed with him.

As Bree and Chase walked off, I spoke, "I'm going to the library. I wish you luck in your locker adventure!"

I lied

I went outside to the courtyard and sat by a bench under the tree out front, when I sat down I put my head in my hands

I can't believe I'm skipping class for this, with no excuse, but I can't wrap my head around this situation

Move in with my parents and abandon my family that raised me when I had no one?

Or disappoint my family by making them think I don't love them

I groaned, I just wanted to scream, or cry

Maybe both

I stood up, grabbing my things and walked to the nurses office, I looked at her a nodded as she opened the secret entrance to mighty med

I left my bag with her and stepped through to Mighty Med, this time without a suit on me

Just my normal clothing

"Please be here..." I mumbled, walking around the counter to hear someone hit their head on the counter

"Stupid counter!" He cursed, I smiled

"I don't think the counter meant it," I mentioned, then Kaz popped up from under the counter with a surprised look on his face

"Scarlett?" He asked, I had a small smile

"Can we talk?"
~~~~~~~~~
"Wow," Kaz spoke as I finished, not the response I expected

"I just... I don't know what to do. And I wanna know what you would do if you were in my situation," I asked, turning towards him

"Well, I don't know..." Kaz began as he rubbed the back of his neck

"You don't know?" I scoffed

"Yeah, I mean, it's a tough decision. I don't think I could make one for you," Kaz spoke

"Kaz I'm not asking you to make one for me, I'm asking what YOU would do," I snapped

"Yeah but if I tell you what's I do then there's a chance you'd do it and I don't want you to make a decision you regret," Kaz explained, I rolled my eyes and began to stand up

"Well, I regret one thing today," I spoke, beginning to walk away

"Scarlett I'm just trying to help—" Kaz began

"Well you're not! Okay? You're not! I'm caught in the middle of the toughest decision of my life and I don't know what to do!" I snapped, turning around to face him

"Scarlett your are the worlds toughest hero! You've saved the world more times than I can count! Literally! I stopped at ten," Kaz began, I looked at him

"This will not break you," Kaz spoke

"It already has," I replied, giving him a sad look before exiting the room

What am I gonna do?
~~~~~~~~~
That night at the Davenport house, Davenport invited the neighbors over so they could resolve what was happening during the night. He wanted to see if there was anyway that they would stop driving their car so we'll see how that goes. We were all waiting in the living room when we heard the doorbell finally ring

Davenport said, "Okay, that's Pierce. Now, watch as I handle this like an adult."

"Okay, but what do you want us to do when you start crying?" Bree asked him, I softly smiled

Crying sounded pretty good about now

Davenport gave her a look before opening the front door. To my surprise, a young man was standing in the doorway. He was holding his coat over his shoulder and had a smug look on his face

"Clayton? What are you doing here?" Leo asked him as we all stood up from the couch

"Looking good and smelling great." Clayton said smugly and even Davenport seemed surprised at what he said

Then he said, "Oh, and my dad came to talk to your dad."

"Wait. Pierce is your dad?" Chase asked him

"Makes sense. Rich jerk, rich jerk's son." Adam stated. Clayton took a step towards him, which caused Adam to lean forward and sniff him

He said, "Man, he does smell good."

"Who's this?" I asked Chase from behind him, he turned towards me

"Some jerk who stole Leo's locker, he paid Perry off," Chase explained, I nodded in understanding as we both turned back to watch the ordeal, I leaned onto him from behind and held my hand on his bicep, he held his hand over mine as I kept my head on his shoulder

"Hello? Isn't anyone going to take my coat?" Clayton said as he held out his coat

"Heck yeah I'll take it!" Adam said.He took Clayton's coat and stuck his arms in the sleeves. He pulled up on it, which caused the coat to rip in half. Clayton looked at his coat in horror while the rest of us looked at it nervously

"It's got a lot of give." Adam said to him.That's when an older looking man walked through the door. He was about the same age as Davenport, but you could tell he was Clayton's dad. They walked the same, and I had a good feeling they acted the same

He tossed his car keys to Chase and said, "Two coats, light wax and shampoo the carpets, and don't touch the radio. I'm an easy listener." This caused Chase and I to break from our previous position, with my free hand I balled it into a fist

As Davenport shut the front door, Chase gave Pierce a look and said, "I'm not washing your car." Before we went back to our previous position

"Me neither." Adam said then asked, "But May I take your coat?"

"Can we move this along? I got golf in the A.M. and I like to show up early to scream during other people's swings. Ah!" He screamed, which caused us to jump. He smiled and said, "Drives 'em crazy."

"Look, I'll get right to the point. You have been driving your car across my lawn at night and it needs to stop." Davenport told him

"Not going to happen, but I will pay you to stop talking. What's your price?" Pierce asked as he pulled out a wad of cash

Davenport laughed as he asked, "Are you trying to pay me off? I'm a billionaire."

"Wow! Just a billionaire." Pierce said unimpressed as Clayton winced behind him, "Must be rough. Well, if you ever need a loan, you know where I live. It's the castle at the top of the hill that casts a shadow over your entire existence."

"Oh please. You do not have more money than I do." Davenport scoffed at him

Pierce pulled out his phone and showed Davenport his screen, "That is my net worth."

When Davenport began to laugh, Pierce turned his phone sideways and said, "Well, not all of the series fit in my screen."

Pierce scrolled over one time and the five of us said, "Woah." He scrolled over again and we said, "Woah." He scrolled over one more time and we said again, "Woah!" The smirk that was on Davenport's face was now gone. In fact, he looked like he was on the verge of tears."Oh yeah? Well, I see one zero that is not on that screen. Ha! Take that!" Davenport said to him before his lip started to quiver

"Someone's about to start crying." Bree sang

"Look, enough is enough. What is it going to take for you to stop driving on my lawn?" Davenport asked him.

Pierce thought for a moment before saying, "I can't think of a thing. Good night."

He turned around to leave, but Davenport stopped him. Davenport said, "No! You are not leaving until we resolve this."

"Fine. How about a contest?" Pierce suggested, which made Davenport confused, "We can settle this on the racetrack. My stock car against yours. You do own a stock car, don't you?"

Davenport laughed slightly before saying, "Of course I own a stock car."

He probably doesn't even know what a stock car is

"And when I win, you stop driving your car on my lawn." Davenport told him.

"Oh, no, no, no. I think we should play for much bigger stakes. Like the deeds to each other's houses?" Pierce suggested, which made my stomach start turning into a knot, "The winner stays, the loser goes."

Davenport hesitated before saying, "Deal." The five of us looked at each other with our eyes wide. What was he doing?! He can't give up the house!

"See you on the track, or later tonight when I tear up the rest of your lawn." Pierce said. Him and Clayton began to laugh as they took the keys out of Chase's hand and walked out the front door

We all rushed over to Davenport, Chase and I moving away from our position

"Please, please, please tell me you didn't just agree to giving up our house!" I snapped, causing the room to stand still

"Let's all calm down!" Chase suggested as he gently placed his hands on my shoulders but I brushed him off

"Remain calm? Yeah sure, let's all remain calm while Davenport gives away the only home you've ever known!" I scoffed

"Look, guys there is no need to worry—" Davenport began

"We grew up here Davenport! We became a family in this house and you just want to throw it away?! How could you!" I snapped, feeling heat rise in my hands

"This house holds our family, it has no right to belong to anyone else. You have to call off the bet! Call off the bet! Please!" I begged, clasping my hands together as I felt hot tears build up in my eyes, "There are memories here you can't replace. You can't just throw away the only home I've known!"

"Scarlett what's going on?" Bree quietly asked, I looked around at everyone around me, each person looking at me with sympathy, I could feel tears rolling down my face as I head the sides of my head

"I just want everything to stop falling apart around me!" I cried, closing my eyes as I grabbed fistfuls of my hair

"Scarlett what happened?" Chase asked softly, I opened my eyes to look at him as I felt my body physically shaking

"My parents want me to move in with them again and I don't know what to do! I don't know what to choose! Cause if I make the wrong choice I'll hurt one side and I can't handle losing the family I have!" I cried, feeling my head pounding, my temperature rising

"Scarlett it's gonna be okay," Davenport comforted, walking towards me but I stumbled back, removing my hands from my hair and he looked at me a little hurt and shocked

"Why would you do this Davenport?" I softly spoke, before I rushed out of the room, going to my room and locking the door

I let out a small sob, laying my head against my door

I then turned and threw myself onto my bed, crying till I fell asleep
~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Scarlett!"

I looked around the room, it looked like the old house Tasha raised me in, where she took me in

I watched as a younger Leo ran past me, a younger version of me ran right behind him, both were giggling their heads off

I smiled lightly, this was a few years after Tasha adopted me, Leo and I were playing superheroes

"I will protect the city with my sidekick Scarlett the Great! To the lair!" Leo giggled, flapping a cape around and rushing to a pillow fort we had made

Then it changed, it was a ten year old me, Leo and I had just turned ten and it wasn't long after Leo's birthday

"Kids! I have someone I want you to meet!" Tasha called, Leo and I abandoned our video game and rush to the living room

Standing their was an unfamiliar man

"Davenport..." I mumbled, a smile tugging at my face as I turned towards younger me, who was giving Davenport a death stare to remember

"Scarlett, Leo I want you to meet Donald Davenport. He and I have been seeing each other for a bit and I wanted to introduce you two to him," Tasha smiled, Leo looked skeptical

"Hi guys! So glad to finally meet you two!" Davenport spoke as he held his hand out to shake outs, neither I or Leo shook his hand, so he took back his hand after a while

"They'll warm up to you," Tasha whispered comfortingly

"Well, she wasn't wrong..." I smiled, just as the image changed

Now it was me at thirteen, Tasha and Davenport has been dating for a long time, and he was on the brink of a proposal

Younger me sat in the living room as I watched TV

"Hey Scarlett? Can we talk?" Davenport asked, younger me sighed and turned off the TV, turning towards Davenport

"Yes Davenport?" She asked

God I was actually really mean to Davenport way back in the day

"Is it alright if I sit?" Davenport asked, younger me nodded and scooted over so Davenport could sit. He sat down and faced her

"Look, I know you haven't exactly been my biggest fan. I know you love Tasha a lot, because she's your mother," Davenport began

"Adopted mother," younger me corrected

"Right, and Tasha has told me because you don't have your real parents, you don't want her taken away from you. And I just want to let you know I love Tasha, and I would never take you or Leo away from her," Davenport began

"And he never did..." I softly spoke

"I want her happiness as much as I want yours. Which is why I want to get your blessing first before I propose to Tasha," Davenport spoke, I watched as younger me's eyes widened

"You're going to propose?!" She squealed

"With your permission yes," Davenport smiled, I could see a small conflict in younger I's face

"I'm gonna make a promise to you. I will never take Tasha away from you or Leo. I promise to treat her like the Queen that she is if you can give me a chance. I'm not saying I'll become your Dad because that's for you to decide. I'll just be an added guardian," Davenport explained

Younger me hummed as she thought the offer over

"So... do I have your permission?" Davenport asked

"Hmm..." she began, before looking up at Davenport

I knew when he made that promise he'd never break it, "Deal."

"But I'm not helping you with Grandma Rose," younger me spoke

"Please! She's scary!" Davenport begged, younger me then began to laugh, and Davenport soon joined her

I could feel tears in my eyes as the memory, just as the memory washed away another one came to, Tasha and Davenports marriage

It wasn't a big one, but it was enough for us. Tasha's family was a little bigger than Davenports since it was just his mom

We were at the reception, Leo and I sitting next to Tasha as Davenport gathered everyone's attention

"Attention! Every I'd like to say something please," Davenport spoke as he clinked his glass, everyone soon gave their attention to him

"I just want to say lucky I am, to be apart of Tasha's family," Davenport began, I heard Grandma Rose hum in the crowd, Leo and I chuckled at her reaction

"Tasha has been a gift in my life, I can't imagine the rest of my life with out her," Davenport gushed, glancing at Tasha with a smile she gladly returned

"But most importantly, I'm so honored to become part of her family," Davenport spoke as he looked towards Leo and I with a big smile

"I promise to give them the life they deserve. To the Dooley's, the Davenports, and the Anderson!" Davenport cheered, everyone else cheered and raised their glass in approval

The memory faded and came to the old house Tasha raised us in, and another me stood right across from me

"Out of all the things this family has done, and you treat Davenport like that?" She wondered, I looked at her sadly

"I had no right, he treated me with so much kindness even when I wanted nothing to do with him. How could I be so mean?" I scoffed, god I've been such an awful person to people lately

"Deep down you know the decision to make. But you've got some people to apologize to," She began, I nodded, I defiantly have to apologize to everyone

"Wake up, Scarlett. Wake up," she simply spoke
~~~~~~~~~
"Scarlett, wake up honey," Tasha's voice spoke, I slowly opened my eyes to see her sitting in the edge of my bed with a soft look on her face, I could feel tears in my eyes

"Tasha! I've done something really bad," I mumbled, feeling my lip quiver as I sat up, she engulfed me in a hug and I didn't hesitate to hug her back

"Oh sweetie, I know. Buts it's going to be okay, I know you. You're so strong, smart, creative, you'll figure out a solution," Tasha spoke, pulling back from the hug as she wiped away some of my fallen tears

"I know it feels hard to spilt your time between your two families, but I can promise you no matter what decision you make we all will always love you," she reassured

" 'Spilt your time', 'spilt your time!' That's it! Tasha you're a genius! How could I not see this all along?" I cheered, hugging Tasha again before jumping off my bed

"I know what my decision is! I've gotta get to Davenport! I've gotta help!" I spoke, rushing around my room to grab my things and start getting them together

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Tasha chuckled, I looked at her confused before she gestured to my clothes

"Right, need new clothes. Think you can drive me to Davenport?"
~~~~~~~~~
Once I arrived at the racing track with my backpack in tow I watched as Davenport's pit crew got up and walked off the track. We all looked at the tires laying on the ground. Davenport said, "Probably should've waited until they put those back on."

"I'm here for like two seconds and you've already fired somebody," I chuckled, causing everyone else to turn towards me

"Scarlett you're here!" Leo cheered as Chase came over to me and wrapped me in his arms

"You feeling any better?" He asked, I smiled and kissed his cheek

"Yes, but I've got something to say," I spoke as we broke from our hug

"Well make it quick, we've got a race to do!" Adam sighed, I gave him a look which made him shut up

"Davenport, I'm really sorry that I blew up at you the other day. I just got so frustrated with the situation around me that I didn't know what else to do and blowing up seemed like a good idea at the time, but it really wasn't," I began as I walked a little closer to Davenport

"You've never treated me with anything less than kindness, you've always had my best intention in mind and I had no right to be angry with you. You're just doing what's best, and I'm sorry that I treated you so badly yesterday. I hope you can forgive me, because in my heart you'll always be the father figure I needed in my life when I didn't have one," I finished, feeling tears weld up in my eyes, Davenport gave me a smile and pulled me in for a hug which I gladly excepted

"Well all make mistakes, Scarlett. I understand you're frustration and I forgive you. Honestly I probably shouldn't have done this racing thing in the first place," Davenport spoke, I chuckled as we pulled away from our hug

"So... were good?" I asked, he smiled

"We're great," he replied

"I hate to be one to ruin such a heart warming moment, but you have no pit crew and we're losing the race!" Leo panicked

"Wait, Mr. Davenport. What if we replaced your pit crew with a bionic pit crew?" Chase suggested

"Or we could start rooting for Joey Logano." Adam suggested and we all glared at him. He said defensively, "Hey, just throwing out options."

"Joey Logano is here?! How's my hair?" I asked Bree, she began to help me fix up my hair

"Hold on, isn't using bionics technically cheating?" Leo asked.

"Look, they cheated first, technically if you think about it, I'm just leveling out the playing field." Davenport pointed out.

Chase began, "Okay, I'll tap into the car's central computer and optimize it for peak performance. Bree, you use your super speed to change these tires and gas it up. And Adam-"

"Can do this." Adam said. He placed his hands underneath the car and lifted it up. He smiled, "Pretty cool, huh?" His smile went away when his hand started to burn, "Ow! Hot radiator! Hot radiator!" He took his right hand out from underneath it and began to blow on it. When he left hand began to burn, he placed his right hand back underneath the car and began to blow on his left hand. I face palmed myself as he continued to repeat what he was doing.

"Well, seeing as your cars really slow let me take a look at the engine," I spoke, shoving Adam out of the way as I opened up the top, revealing the engine

"You know about car engines?" Chase asked, I smirked as I lifted myself up from the engine

"I watched NASCAR for a long time, I know a thing or two about cars because I wanted to show off to this guy I liked in middle school," I spoke, Chase gave me a look

"I'm totally over him now!" I defended, throwing my hands up

I then went back to the engine as Bree began putting the tires back on, I looked at the engine and smirked, "Hey Chase? How many volts of electricity can this car handle?"

"Well an average car need 12.6 volts, but this is basically a super car so I'd say about double, maybe even triple," Chase responded

"Would I fry the computer system?" I asked

"Not necessarily, what are you getting at?" Chase asked

"I'm gonna electrify this car, the amount of energy from my bolts will give this car a massive jump start. Enough to catch's Joey's massive lead," I replied, Chase smiled

"Then go for it! Wait! Let me get out of here first!" Chase spoke, basically throwing himself out of the car

I grabbed onto the engine and the car battery at the same time, the heat having no effect on me since I had fire abilities

"Let's light this baby up!" I smirked, before beginning to electrify the car

After a couple of seconds with intense Lightning energy I decided it was enough and took my hands off the engine and battery, wiping them together with a smirk on my face

"Let's win a race!"
~~~~~~~~~
Soon enough, we all had on black and red jumpsuits and hats with Davenport's logo on them. Believe it or not, I wasn't complaining at all. As a kid I always watched to be involved in this kind of race and here was my chance

With my jumpsuit I made some adjustments to give me some kind of shape, I took my belt off my regular clothes and wrapped it around my waist, I rolled up the sleeves of them jumpsuit and stopped them past my elbows. I pulled my hair up and out my ponytail threw the hat I was given. I had a headset on like everyone else to hear Davenport from the car

"Fifty laps to go!" Perry announced over the intercom, "Logano's lead is shrinking! Davenport is actually catching up. And don't forget, your lug nut calendars are available at the concession stand. Keep an eye out for April. I'm wearing tires."The five of us all gagged and cringed before going back to watching the race.

"Nice job with the jumpstart Scar, think you got room for another one?" Chase asked, I smiled.

"I've got room for several," I smiled, holding my hand up and wiggling my fingers as small sparks came from them

Thanks to the clutoniam crystal flowing through my veins my powers have become even stronger than what they were

Davenport was now right next to Joey, and I felt myself getting excited. Davenport said through the earphones, "Great job, Chase! This car is flying now!"Davenport came in for another pit stop, and Bree, Leo, and I climbed over the barrier quickly

Leo looked down at the clipboard and told her, "Okay, we need to change the tires to in under ten seconds or-"She cut Leo off by super speeding around the car and changing the tires quickly. She was done in less than five seconds, and when she came back, she had grease all over her face.

"Done." She said with a smile.Davenport waved at us before taking off out of the pit. Leo's hat went flying off of his head and I had to grab him because it looked like he was about to blow away. He quickly got upright and Leo and Bree climbed back over the barrier.

"Scar! Give the car a jumpstart!" Leo ordered, I quickly popped open to see the engine, I grabbed onto it and the car battery before giving it an extra boost

"Good to go!" I replied, shutting the top and hopping back over the barrier with the others, just as Davenport took off

"This is incredible! Davenport has evened it up! I'm almost beginning to care who wins!" Perry announced.We all continued to watch the race, so when Joey Logano walked up to us, we were all very surprised.

He asked us, "So it looks like my afternoon just freed up. Do you guys need any help?"

We were all speechless. In fact, I was star struck. We all began to say jumbled up words, but nothing came out.

"Please say yes. I want to hide from that flag lady." He told us.

"Joey! Want to go halfsies on a hoagie?" She asked him. She took a bite into the hoagie, and he immediately hid behind the barrier. I didn't blame him. Leo gave Joey his pair of earphones as the race went on. When Davenport passed us, Leo checked off another lap and I saw that there were only two more laps to go. We were so close to a victory!

"Two laps to go in the jerk five hundred." Perry announced, "Davenport and Pierce are neck and neck. It's anybody's race, and I think we're all wondering the same question. Is there a Mrs. Logano?"

"Davenport, you're doing great. Just please stop saying 'Vroom Vroom' every time you make a turn." Joey told him through the earphones.

"Gotcha." He replied, "I can't believe this. I'm think I'm going to win! I'm going to win!"

That's when I heard a popping noise and the car began to swerve. I groaned when I realized that the steering wheel must've popped off.

He began to scream, but Joey said, "You do know it pops back on, right?"

After a moment, I heard the steering wheel pop back on and he said, "I knew that!"When he started to slow down as he went around a curve, I smiled because I knew exactly what he was doing and it could work.

Chase asked, "What is Mr. Davenport doing? Why is he slowing down?"

"He's going to lose!" Bree said.

"No, he's obviously giving up. It's the honorable thing to do." Adam said.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Guys, it's fine! He's just drafting." Joey Logano seemed impressed that I knew that, he gave me an encouraging smile and I gave a sheepish one back, I then felt an arm wrap around my waist, I turned to see Chase smiling at me innocently, oh someone's jealous

I chuckled and leaned back into him as he wrapped his other arm around my waist as we continued to watch Davenport race

"It's something I learned from my racing simulator." Davenport said, "I'm reducing my wind resistance by hiding behind Pierce's car and then I'm going to slingshot past him in the straightaway. On my controller, it's red, red, green, up arrow, but I'm pretty sure I can make it work."

Davenport went around the corner and he suddenly caught up with Pierce. He began to laugh loudly and then he said, "Vroom Vroom! Sorry Joey."

"It's alright. We all do it." Joey shrugged it off

Davenport flew past Pierce and they were so close to the finish line. When Davenport crossed the finish line first, Perry waved her flag and announced, "And Davenport crosses the finish line!"

We all began to cheer loudly and I turned around to Chase and we hugged tightly, we won! Once we let go I took off my headphones because they were starting to get uncomfortable

I looked to my left and hugged Bree tightly. We won! We actually did it! "Great job, guys! Now it's time for the real race. Getting away from that flag lady." Joey said as he put his earphones down.

"Wait!" I said. I ran over to him and pulled out my phone. I pulled up my camera and got it ready for a selfie. We both smiled and right after we took the selfie, we heard Perry say, "You forgot your calendars!"

"Nice meeting you. Now run for your life." I told him.He gave me a grateful smile before running away. Perry ran after him quickly. When Davenport pulled up in front of us, we immediately began to cheer for him as he climbed out of the car. He ended up falling backwards and onto the ground.

We all stopped cheering, but when he stood back up, we began to cheer again.

"Man, nice work, Mr. Davenport! You totally showed those guys who's boss!" Chase told him.

"Yes. Yes, I did, but it's important to remember always win with dignity." Davenport told us. He looked over at Pierce and pointed, "Ha! I beat you! I beat you! I beat you!"

He ran over to the Harringtons and we all couldn't help, but laugh. Leo walked over to Clayton and said, "Well, Clayton, looks like the corner locker is all mine."

"I'm still richer than you." Clayton said to him

"And you know what that got you today? Nothing." Leo told him with a smile

"Yeah? Well, your wallet's nothing." Clayton shot at him

"Oh, it's something." Leo said as he pulled out his wallet, "And right now it's saying, 'Please have my locker cleaned out by seven A.M.'"

Clayton went to say something, but he ended up walking away. Leo smirked as he walked over and high fives me. I better never see that jerk again.
~~~~~~~~~
Once we all got back home we celebrated, but there was something I needed to do first

I got myself to Mighty Med and saw Kaz and Oliver talking behind the counter, I hid the present I had behind my back

"Hey guys! Kaz, Oliver! Nice to see you two again!" I smiled as I walked towards them

"Oh hey Scarlett! What brings you by?" Oliver asked

"I was hoping to talk with Kaz. Alone if that's alright?" I asked, Oliver then looked towards Kaz and then back and me before looking at Kaz who gave him a look

"Oh! Oh! Yeah a moment alone, hehe. I'll be going now!" Oliver smiled, why is he acting like that?

Oliver began to walk away pointing finger guns at Kaz before he tripped over something behind him and fell on the ground, I winced

"I'm good!" He replied as he hopped back up and rushed out of the room

"Is he always like that?" I wondered

"More or less," Kaz shrugged, "but you wanted to talk?"

"Yes, Kaz I'm so sorry for how I treated you the other day. I had no right to put my decision on you and blame you for telling me in was my decision to make. But deep down I guess I just wanted to know what you would do so it's maybe make my choice a little easier," I rambled, before stopping and smiling at Kaz

"So I promise to never put that kind of thing on you again. And to start to make up for how I treated you, I got you something," I smiled, pulling the present out from behind my back and handing it to him

He took it with a confused smile as he began to pull out the tissue paper from the bag, he gasped in shock when he saw it

"The crystal of night?! What—? How—?" He began, I chuckled

"Nightro left that in his lair and I decided to pick it up. I thought since your a big fan of my comics you could find a better use for it than me," I smiled

"Look! Shadow puppets!" Kaz gasped as he projected a night time like screen on the wall in front of us and made a bunny out of his hand

"Again, Kaz I'm really sorry and I hope that this doesn't effect our friendship," I spoke, he then out his crystal orb away in the bag and held his arms open

"Bring it in," he spoke, I smiled and hugged him

"This doesn't effect our friendship, not in the slightest. Oh! Did you make a decision?" Kaz spoke as we pulled away from each other

"I did. I decided to live with both. The Davenports on weekdays and the Andersons on weekends. It's a win-win!" I chuckled
