(Christmas Eve - I think it's the next day but lost track of days so just clearing things up)
*Casey POV*
I wake up and see that we're still at Joey's. I go to the kitchen and see Megan sitting at the table. I sit across from her and look at her.
"Hey you okay" I ask
"Yeah. I just couldn't sleep and didn't want to wake anyone up" she says
"Ok. Do you want something to eat or drink" I ask
"You don't know where anything is" she says
"Yeah but I can find stuff by looking" I say
"Sure something to drink and eat" she says
I walk to the fridge and grab two bottles of water. I set them on the table them look through cabinets. I find a can of pineapple and a can opener so I open the can and grab two forks. I sit down again and hand her a fork. We eat all the pineapple and we start arguing about who gets to drink the juice.
"What's going on" we hear someone ask
We turn around and see a half asleep Joey standing there.
"We were hungry so I was looking for food" I say
"Then what are you arguing over" he asks
"Who gets to drink the pineapple juice" Megan says
"Just split it. Grab two cups. I mean it shouldn't be that hard. You found everything else" he says
"Ugh but I don't want to get up" we whine
Joey goes to a cabinet grabs cups and hands them to us. We thank him and he sits down at the table to.
"Why don't you make yourself a cup of coffee" Megan asks
"I'm too lazy" he says
"Joseph all you have to do is grab a k-cup put it in the machine put a mug underneath and press the size" I say
"Eh" he says
"Lazy" Megan says
"Look who's talking. The one who didn't want to get a cup" Joey laughs
"When is everyone else getting here" I ask
"I don't know why don't you call one of them" Joey says
"Why don't you send them a group text" Megan asks
"Why don't you?" Joey asks
I pull my phone out and send them a text.
Cas- when our you three morons getting here Joey is getting on mine and Megan's nerves
Ch-I want to sleep!!!
A-chad you don't have to get angry
Cal-I'll be there soon. Tell Joe I'll bring him coffee
A-I'm on my way too. I'll stop for donuts
Cas- Chadwick
Ch-I'll be there hold your horses
Cas- I don't have any horses
Ch- whatever
I put my phone away and pay attention to Joey and Megan's argument.
Caleb is bringing you coffee Joseph" I say
"Thank you Caleb and don't call me Joseph" Joey says
"Ok" I say
The guys walk in give minutes later and come into the kitchen. Caleb gives Joey his coffee an they sit at the table.
"What are we going to do about the other three" I ask
"Joey do you have an amp and electric guitar" Megan asks
"Yeah I'll be right back" he says
"I wake my older brothers up this way" Megan says
Joey comes back and hands her the guitar. She plays it into the amp and warns us to plug our ears. She plays a little then stops. We unplug our ears.
"Megan" we hear three voices.
Megan gives the guitar to Joey and hides behind the guys.
The three trudge in here looking a little angry.
"Where's my sister" Luke asks
"I don't know Lukey where is your sister" I ask
"I'm going back to bed" Donald says
He leaves and we hear him go upstairs.
"Nicole and Casey go get dressed" Alan says
Alan and Chad give us each a bag and we head to the bathroom to change.
*Megan POV*
I'm hiding behind the guys and Luke is still standing there.
"Come on just let me tackle my sister" Luke says
"Nope can't let that happen" Caleb says
"You might break the guitar in the process" Joey says
I kick him slightly and he grabs his ankle in pain.
"You ok" Alan asks
"Yeah I'm fine" he says
He puts his leg back down. He moves away and reveals me. I hop onto Chad's back but my brother grabs me off.
"Nice try there sis" he says
"Why did you kick me" Joey asks
"I don't know I just chose who looked weak out of the four of you" I say
"Ooh" Caleb says
"Caleb I was deciding between you two then realized Joey was closer" I say
"Ooh burn want some ice for that" Luke asks
"Luke put your sister down so she can go get dressed" Alan says
"But Alan I never get to torture my sister" Luke whines
"Yeah right Lukey you wrestle me all the time" I say
"Oh hush it Meggy" he says
"Does everyone in your group of friends end your names in a y" Chad asks
"I don't know. We just do it naturally" I say
"Ok go get dressed" Caleb says
He tosses a bag of clothes at my face and I go to a bath room. I change and meet everyone else back in the kitchen.
"What are we doing today" Nicole asks
"Well tomorrow is Christmas so I think we were going to go to Christmas Eve service." Alan says
"We should watch Christmas movies" Caleb says
"ELF!" I shout
"Megan no shouting you're going to wake Donald up" Joey says
"Oh well" I say
"What are we going to do with you" Chad asks
"I say throw her in a dumpster" Casey says
"Casey" I say
"Hey I like that idea" Nicole says
"Now now girls" Caleb says
"Shut it Grimmy I think they have a great idea" Chad says
"Yeah I agree. Joe bro where's the nearest dumpster" Luke asks
"Uh I'll show you follow me" Joey says
Chad picks me up bridal style and everyone follows Joey.
"Caleb are you going to help me" I ask
"Yeah. I'll hold the lid" he says
"Alright guys put Megan down. We're going to watch movies. We'll go to my house so the girls can watch with us" Alan says
"Chad you can put me down now" I say
"What you actually want to walk" he asks
"No but I prefer to be on someone's back" I say
"Ok" he says
He puts me on Caleb's back. Caleb tries to get me off but I cling on for dear life. Casey hops on Joey's back and Nicole hops on Luke's.
"Should we just walk to your house since it's a ten minute walk" Caleb asks
"Sure why not" Alan says
The guys start walking and us girls strike up a conversation.
"Ok who is your least favorite teacher" Casey asks
"Mrs. I" I say
"Who's your favorite" Nicole asks
"Mr. Kimball" Casey and I say
"He's not a teacher" Nicole says
"Oh well he's still our favorite" I say
"Who's Mr. Kimball" Alan asks
"He's like the vice principal at the freshman center" Casey says
"There's the high school who has 10-12 grade then there's the freshman center but only has grade 9" Nicole says
"Ok" they say
"Luke who was your favorite" Nicole asks
"Mr. Hunsicker" he says
"We have Mr. Hunter and I know that he's very boring. I usually pay attention to Mr. Curto whole shouts" Casey says
"Wait how long are we here in Nashville for" Nicole asks
"I think we arranged that you well two will go back after New Years" Caleb says
"Ok" Casey sighs
"Hey what's the matter" Joey asks
"I just realized that Nicole and I only have about a week left to spend time with Megan before we won't see her again for a while" Casey says
I hop off of Caleb's back and go over to Joey. Casey hops off and I give her a hug. Nicole hops off Luke's back and joins the hug. We pull apart and wipe our tears. We all finish our walk to Alan's and go inside.
"Ok what movie first" Alan asks
"Either Elf or Rudolph the red nose reindeer" Casey says
"Ok" he says
"Megan, Nicole" AJ cheers
"Hey chicka" Nicole says
The other two follow behind her.
"Uncle Chad can you get us ice cream" Presley asks
"You have to ask your father little princess" he says
"Daddy can we have ice cream" she asks
"Ooh yeah Alan can we have ice cream" Nicole asks
"Ice cream" AJ cheers
"Please Alan" Casey pleads
I feel someone tug on my pant leg. I look down and see Rowe. I pick her up and she starts giggling.
"Alright I don't see why not" Alan says
"Yummy. Uncle Chad will you go get us ice cream" Presley asks
"Ok who wants to come with" he asks
"Me" Rowe says
"I'll come to" I say
"Great. Alan can I borrow your van" Chad asks
"Yeah" Alan says
He tosses Chad the keys and we go outside. Chad puts Rowe in her seat and I get in front. Chad gets in and starts the car.
"Did you eat breakfast" he asks
"Yeah. Casey and I shared a can of pineapple" I say
"Ok good" he says
We get to the store and go inside.
*Nicole POV*
"Ok I'm bored" I say
"We just started the movie" Alan says
"She's right I'm bored too" Casey says
"What should we do" Joey asks
"Hide and Seek" AJ says
"Ok" Alan says
"Your counting Alan. Unless you don't know how then we'll have Presley do it who is probably more capable" Luke says
"Watch it dude" Alan says
Alan starts counting and we all separate. Presley grabs my leg and I pick her up.
"Where do you want to hide" I ask
"I don't know" she says
I find the laundry room and open the dryer.
"Ok you're going to hide here and I'm going to hide some where near. Is that ok" I ask
"Yes" she says
I help her in the dryer then close the door. I then find my hiding spot.
*Alan POV*
I finish counting and start looking. I go upstairs first. I walk into Presley's room and walk over to her bed I move the covers and see Joey.
"Yo wake up sleeping beauty" I say
"I wasn't sleeping. I was hoping that if I didn't move you wouldn't see me. How did you know I would hide here" Joey asks
"Ugh Joey you are clueless" I say
I walk out and go to AJ's room. I look in her fort and see her and Casey giggling.
"What's so funny" I ask
"How daddy can't sing high notes" AJ says
"Is that so" I ask
"Yes" she says
"What ever. Now I need to go find the others " I say
I leave the girls and go back downstairs. I head to the basement and into the game room.
"Yo Mario due you happen to know where Luigi is" I ask
"Sorry all I know is that Princess peach is in princess Presley's room" Caleb says
"What are you not playing hide and go seek" I ask
"I am but I'm also playing Mario kart" Caleb says
"Ok Mario" I say
I go upstairs and Chad, Megan, and Rowe enter.
"What you guys doing" Chad asks
"What are you guys!" Caleb yells
"Shut it Mario" Chad says
"We're playing Hide and Seek and I can't find Nicole or Presley" I say
"Oh that will be hard" Megan says
"How so" I ask
"Nicole is the best at finding hiding spots" she says
"Wait I haven't found Luke either" I say
"Oh brother. We'll be here for ages" Megan says
I start to hear banging so I follow the noise no get to the laundry room and open the dryer.
"Well hello there Presley" I say
"Hi dada" she says
I pick her up and hold her on my hip.
"So where's Nicole" I ask
"Secret" Presley says
"Dada" Rowe says
"Yes" I ask
"Nicole is in the kitchen" she says
I walk to the kitchen and open the pantry door. I look in the far back and see Nicole.
"Hello miss" I say
"Who gave it away" she asks
"Sorry Rowe loves food and said your in the kitchen" I say
"Who do you have left" she asks
"Luke" I say
"Ok" she says
She gets up and walks out and I close the pantry. Megan and Nicole start laughing. They whisper to Chad and he starts laughing to.
"What's so funny" I ask
"Nothing" they say
They run out of the room and down to the basement. Presley runs after them. Rowe goes over to the pantry and opens the door. She goes in and closes it behind her. I try to open the door but it's lock.
*Luke POV*
Rowe comes into the pantry and shut the door. I quickly lock the door and motion for Rowe to be quiet. She nods her head and sits on my lap. I grab a box of crackers and grab a package out.
"Me" Rowe asks
"Promise not to tell your daddy" I ask
"Promise" she says
I give her a few crackers then eat a few myself. I put the crackers away and watch Rowe finish hers. Once she's done I brush the crumbs off her face and hands. A few minutes later I hear the door unlock and Alan opens the door.
"Hey Alan" I say
"Wait you were in here" he asks
"Yeah. Nicole was sitting on my lap so you couldn't see me" I say
"Sneaky little monkey. Why is Rowe in here" he asks
"Remember she walked in here. She was keeping me company" I say
"Ok" he says
We get out of the pantry and he picks Rowe up and we join the others in the living room. Megan is laying on the couch so I go and sit on her.
"Ugh" she says
"Luke get off the poor innocent girl" Caleb says
"I don't think she's innocent" Chad says
"We agree" Casey and Nicole says
"While is it always Megan against everyone else" Joey asks
"I've been wondering that for ages" Megan sighs
"I'm hungry daddy" AJ says
*Casey POV*
"Lets go eat" I say
"What should we eat" Alan asks
"I think Fallon was making lunch for everyone" Chad says
"Well lets go eat" Caleb says
"Ok we're going to have to take another vehicle. So 4 will have to walk to Joeys house to get in someone's car" Alan says
"I think I have everyone parked in so three more can go with me" Chad says
"I will" me, Megan, and Nicole say
"That works" Chad says
We all start walking to Joey's. Nicole hops on Chad's back and I hop on Megan's.
"Seriously" she asks
"I don't want to walk" I say
"Guys we can use really bad grammar since Grimm shady isn't here" Nicole says
"Today's word of the day is retribution. We are going to get retribution on Caleb" I say
"No the word of the day is probity. People have to have probity for people to trust them" Nicole says
"No no no it's wormhole you have to take a wormhole to get to Mario kart world" Chad says
"Only Chad's sentence used the word in the correct way" Megan says
"Yas" he cheers
We get to Joey's and we hop off. Chad unlocks the car and we hop in the back.
"Scooch over Casey" Megan says
I move to the middle and Megan sits on the other side of me.
"What am I? A chauffeur" he asks
"Yep" I say
He starts the car and drives to his house. We get there and go inside.
"There you four are what took so long" Fallon asks
"Megan and I had to walk ten minutes with a girl on out backs" Chad says
"You poor thing." Fallon says
"I know" Chad says
Fallon kisses his cheek then goes to the kitchen. Us three follow her.
"Do you need any help with lunch" we ask
"Um no I think I got did all under control" she says
"Fallon th-" Caleb starts
"Caleb Andrew Grimm how many times do we have to remind you not to correct us ladies about our improper grammar unless if you want to be flattened to a pancake" Fallon says
We go to the living room and join the guys. There's no more room so Megan and I end up sitting on Luke and Chad's lap.
"Get off of me" Chad whines
"There's no where else to sit" I say
"I predict a carpet in your near future" Luke says
They drop us on the ground so we go over to Alan and whisper something in his ear we then whisper it in Joey's ear.
They push the two off the couch and Megan and I steal their seats. Caleb walks over and lays across all three of us girls since Nicole was already on the couch. We push him off and he lands on Chad. Those two start wrestling then bump into Joey. Joey starts wrestling with them and Luke hops in on the fun.
"Megan do something" I say
She hops in and separated the four of them.
"Ok Each of you it in a separate corner on the floor" she says
They do as she says and she sits back down next to me.
"Alan you were supposed to be keeping them under control" Nicole says
"I'm sorry but someone usually Caleb tells me to" Alan says
"Lunch is ready" Fallon says
We all race to the dining room and sit down. They have Luke pray for our food then we start eating.
"Does anyone want to see the new Star wars" Joey asks
"Joseph you are not going to see Star Wars tonight. You know we all hang out and Christmas Eve" Fallon says
"But Fallon" he whines
"I'm going to watch it" Luke says
"No you aren't you are spending Christmas with the group" Fallon says
"But Fallon" Luke complains
"Oh you big babies" Megan says
"I'd be careful sis I know where you sleep" Luke says
We eat lunch with little conversation.
"What are we doing now" I ask
"Well we have Christmas Eve service at five and it's 1:30 now so I think we'll each return to our homes" Alan says
"Ok" I say
"Alright I'm taking Nicole, Joey, and Luke" Chad says
"The others are stuck with me" Alan says
We get in Alan's van and drive to Joey's. Caleb and Megan get out. Alan drive back to his house and I pick Rowe up. We go inside and to the living room.
"So how are you enjoying the trip" Alan asks
"I'm having a lot of fun" I say
"That's good" he says
"Daddy can we watch tangled" Presley asks
"Sure" Alan says
He puts the movie in and Rowe climbs into my lap. Once the movie ends Brycie walks into the living room.
"Ok you five should go get ready for tonight. We're meeting up with everyone at Caleb and Kelsey's" she says
I get up and go upstairs. I grab my change into black pants, a Christmas shirt, and my black flats. I grab my green hoodie, that matches the other girl's, and go downstairs.
"Everyone ready" Alan asks
We all nod our heads and go to the van. I get in back with AJ.
"Hi Casey" she says
"Hey AJ" I say
Alan drives to Caleb's and we're the last ones there. We go inside and the other two are wearing their sweatshirts.
"Ok I need to get a picture of you three" Kesley says
"Nooo" Megan whines
"She doesn't like getting her picture taken" Nicole says
"Come on Megan please" Kelsey says
"Alright fine" Megan says
"Wait Megan you're in the middle and you girls are on either side" Fallon says
We rearrange ourselves and they take a few pictures then Megan joins the guys on the couch.
"She acts too much like her brothers" I say
"I like your girls sweatshirt. Especially the shade of green" Joey says
"No I was going to say that" Chad says
"Boys no wrestling you're going to mess up your clothes" Fallon says
"Ok" they sigh
Around 5:10 we leave Caleb's and head to the church. We go inside and take up a whole pew to fit everyone. The service starts at exactly 5:30. The pastor has the guys sing a few songs then they return to the pew. He starts the sermon. After he's done talking the guys go back up for a few more songs then it ends. We're just hanging around in the church when my phone rings. I go outside and answer it. It's from my older brother Tyler.
C-hey Ty what's up
T-There was a car accident on the way home from Christmas Eve service
C-is everyone ok
T-mom and dad died instantly
C-what about Jason? are you ok
T-Jason and I didn't go. Jason wasn't feeling well so I offered to stay home with him
C-what's going to happen to us kids? Are you able to take guardianship of us
T-I think mom had a plan for us kids to move to Tennessee and live with her one cousin that we've never knew about
C-who is it
T-a Joseph Stamper
C-um was he told about this yet
T-no do you know him
C-yeah he's from the band Anthem Light
T-oh well the lady from family services is her and was just about to call him why don't you ask him to talk on the phone and put it on speaker
C-ok hold on can I call you back
T-yeah
I hang up and go inside. I run into someone and see Joey.
"You okay Casey" he asks
"Not really actually I need to talk with you" I say
"Ok" he says
We go outside and sit on a bench out there.
"What's up" he asks
"Ok so my dad and mom were in a car crash when they were coming home from Christmas Eve service. They died instantly. My brother just called me and told me that and something else. My parents have written that if they would ever die they want her cousin to watch us and become our legal guardian. That person is you Joey" I say
"Wait so I'm really your cousin" he asks
"Apparently" I say
"Was your mom Linda" he asks
"Yeah" I say
"She was like a big sister to me and Donald" he says
"Well I need to call my brother back so you can talk to family services" I say
"Ok" he says
I pull my phone out and call Tyler back.
T-hey C
C-hey Ty
T-is Joseph with you
J-yeah I'm right here
T-hi I'm Tyler
J-Joey
T-ok I'm going to put the lady on her name is Elizabeth
E-hello Joseph I'm Elizabeth. Did Casey explain what happened to you
J-yeah
E-ok well their little brother Jason is two. Casey is fourteen and Tyler is Sixteen. Are you willing to become their legal guardian
J-of course
E-ok I'm going to have Tyler and Jason get on the next flight to Nashville and then after the holidays you and them can come get their stuff
J-ok thank you
T-I'll see you later tonight sis and thank you Joey so much
J-no problem
C-by bro
I end the call and put my phone away. I wipe my tears and look at Joey.
"Are you okay Joe" I ask
"Yeah. I'm just trying to process everything" he says
We sit there for a few minutes then everyone walks out.
"You two ready" Alan asks
"Can you just give us a minute" Joey asks
Alan whispers something to everyone and they start walking away. Alan comes over and joins us on the bench.
"Alright what's wrong? Joey's crying and that doesn't happen a lot and Casey is also crying" Alan asks
"Casey's mom and dad died and her mom was my cousin and like a big sister to me and Donald. Her mom has me written down to become the legal guardian of the kids" Joey says
"How old are your siblings Casey" Alan asks
"Tyler is 16 and Jason is 2" I say
"When are they coming" Alan asks
"They'll be here in about 2-3 hours" Joey says
"Ok" Alan says
"Do you think Caleb would be okay with Luke staying at his house so Tyler and Jason can sleep at mine" Joey asks
"I'm sure he won't mind" Alan says
We stand up and Alan hugs both of us. We wipe our remaining tears and join the group. Joey goes over to talk with Caleb and I go to talk with the girls.
"You okay Casey" Megan asks
"I never thought it would be you having to ask I it was me alright" I say
"Yeah me neither" she says
"What happened Casey? Why were you and Joey crying" Nicole asks
"My parents die in a car accident. My mom was Joey's cousin and like a big sister to him and Donald. Oh and I'm moving to Nashville. My mom left Joey as the legal guardian of us" I say
"Great so you're both leaving me" Nicole says
"Nicole it's not our fault" I say
"I know you moving out here isn't your fault but Megan probably is the reason for her parents divorce" Nicole says
"I didn't do anything" Megan says
"Yes you did" Nicole says
Megan runs off crying and then Nicole walks off. Chad and Alan go after Nicole and Caleb and Luke go after Megan. Joey walks over to me.
"What happened" he asks
"Nicole's upset that Megan and I are moving out here and we're both leaving her. She then said it was our fault and I said it wasn't. Then she said me moving out here wasn't my fault but Megan moving out here was her fault for making their parents divorce" I say
"Casey you three have been friends forever. I saw these shirts one day and I think the saying is pretty cool. They said, 'God made us best friends because He knew our parents couldn't handle us as sisters' but then your sweatshirts say unbiological sisters and I've heard that a sister is a forever friend. I've only known you three for a week now but I can tell you guys are forever friends. Nothing can separate you three" he says
"Thanks Joey and to just let you know once Jason hears he'll be living with you he might call you daddy since he doesn't really remember our parents because he's only 2" I say
"It's fine. I understand" Joey says
*Chad POV*
Alan and I find Nicole and go over to her. We sit down next to her.
"I don't want to talk" she says
"Ok you don't have to talk just listen" Alan says
"I heard what happened and I've talked with Luke before about what happened with his parents. He said that they were fighting about their dads work and how he was never home and causing Megan to have to watch her little brothers all the time. She was already heart broken about leaving you two and what you said just made her feel even worse. Then Casey loves you both and what effects one friend effects all friends so since Megan became sad all three of you became upset." I say
"There are a lot of verses that talk about Friendship. There's one that sticks out to me here. That's Proverbs 18:24. It says: 'A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.' I think that related to Megan situation since two of her brothers are over seas, one will be going to college soon, an the other two are really young. She needs friends who will be there for her when her brothers can't. She needs you and Casey" Alan says
"There's another verse, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. It states: '9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!' When any of you three are depressed or whatever I know you will be there for each other. So go and be there for them. Don't let anyone pity them because they don't have anyone to help them is. And if that verse still doesn't convince you there's Proverbs 17:17 'A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.' A FRIEND LOVES at ALL times. Go and be there for your friends and love them" I say
She stands up and gives us a hug and walks over to where Casey is.
"Good job bro" Alan says
"You too" I say
"I didn't do anything. You were the one who exaggerated on the point of friendship" Alan says
"Whatever lets just go back" I say
*Megan POV*
I run off from where us girls were talking and climb a tree and start crying. I hear noise and people sitting in the tree as well.
"What's wrong sis" Luke asks
"Nicole hates me and it's all my fault" I say
"Megan your parents divorce isn't your fault" Caleb says
"Yes it is" I say
"How" Luke asks
"Well when they argue at night I always here my name being mentioned a lot and dad is always yelling" I say
"Hey come on sis stop crying it will be alright" Luke says
"Megan have you ever read Ecclesiastes 4:9-10" Caleb asks
"Yeah" I say
"Well you aren't the man who people pity. You have friends down there who will pick you up when you fall down just like you're there when they fall down. Go be with them. I would hate to see a great Christ like friendship end over some stupid argument" Caleb says
We climb down an hug both of them. I wipe my tears an we go over to the others. We group hug and all that stuff.
"Ok time to go. Everyone get in the proper vehicle. Casey you're sleeping over at Joey's" Alan says
*Joey POV*
Casey and I get in my car and I head to the airport. We get there and go inside. A few minutes later Casey spots her brothers and runs to them. They walk back over to me.
"We haven't properly met. I'm Joseph Stamper but everyone calls me Joey or Joe" I say
"I'm Tyler but people call me Ty and the little guy asleep in my arms is Jason" Tyler says
"Ok well why don't we go to my house then we can talk and you can meet one of my older brothers Donald" I say
"Ok" Tyler says
I grab their bags and we walk out to my car.
"Joey car seat" Casey says
"I have one for Rowe in the back of my car" I say
I grab it out and put the bags in the trunk. I put the seat behind my seat and Tyler hands Jason to me. I put him in then get in front. I drive to my house. Tyler grabs their bags and I get Jason out. We go inside to see Donald and Kenny in the living room talking.
"Hello brothers" I say
"Oh hey joe bro" Donny says
"What's with the three kids" Kenny asks
"I'll be down in a second to explain I say
The kids and I go upstairs and I show Tyler the room. He sets the bags down and we go back downstairs. I sit on the couch with Jason on my lap. Casey and Tyler sit on the floor.
"Ok so you guys remember our cousin Linda right" I ask
"Yeah" they say
"These are her kids. Casey was here because of a contest her and her two friends won. But Jason, the one on my lap, and Tyler just got here. We just picked them up from the airport. Their mom and dad both died in a car accident and left me as the legal guardian. Oh and Tyler these are my brother Donald and Kenny" I say
"Hi" Tyler says
"Hey" my brothers say
"Oh I don't need to stay here anymore. They finished with my apartment" Donald says
My brothers leave and slam the door in the process.
"Jeesh they always slam the door" I say
"I'm going to go to bed" Tyler says
"Ok. Goodnight" I say
He goes upstairs.
"Casey you can sleep in the other room. Is it fine if I place Jason in a pack n play for now" I ask
"Yeah and thanks" she says
She goes upstairs and follow behind her. I walk into my room and lay Jason on my bed. I set up the pack n play and put him in it. I place a blanket over him then get in my own bed and fall asleep quickly.
