15|it will just take a trip to the toilet.... It won't hurt

"AMELIA!?"

I yelled as I dropped Camille with a loud thud... I myself winced....

"Ow! Shit— I mean shoot" she corrected herself as mom raised her eyebrows at her and she glared at me.... I hugged Amelia... I could still smell her.... She had the smell of fruits.... She was a lip balm or lip gloss queen.... She reads mind! Its mind blowing....

"I've missed you" I said as I hugged her tighter...  And she hugged me too......

"Me too..... Your favorite person in the world is here!" She said as she smiled at me... I was pushed aside...

"Camille!" I and mom shrieked....

"I've missed you bunny" Amelia said....

"Now I didn't miss you at all" we laughed....

"You do liar" she said as she sat back down and smiled " feels good to be home" I smiled at her...

"Well.... Its good... Where's Jordan...? Is he locked up in his room or something?" She asked and my eyes widened.... Camille coughed.... Amelia stared at us....

"He is brooding! Um.... I mean.... He—" Camille faced me and mom looked at us....

"He is thinking about Annalise and how she won't be here tomorrow" I said with the saddest expression i could give....

"Really? You are seriously going to lie? Jordan told me already.... Your dad doesn't know though" she said as she smiled and I stared at her.....

"So you know he went to?" Amelia didn't complete it....

"New jersey.... Yes.... And he took a flight to and fro.... I need to see my daughter before mid night!" Mom said as Camille sighed and we all laughed.... I knew he was going to take a flight....

"Take your things upstairs, Amelia.... Dinner will be ready soon" she said not before she winked and we all winked back but Camille was struggling.... We all laughed......

"Guess things didn't change! You are still bad at everything" Amelia said as she smiled and Camille scowled....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing had gone out of place in Amelia's room.... She also had her sweet corner! It was cool.... But Annalise will never accept its better than hers.... But it is! Her room was now a white wall with colors on it.... Closet with colors.... Her closet was rainbow themed.... But her walls were her job! She's an artiste.... A cool one and she's well known but expanding!.... The only part that was left white was her "MEMORY LANE".... That was were her pictures were.... Annalise had that too and in that corner was her ex box.... All of the memories of exes.... Annalise had that too.... They are just too similar!

"Sweet!" She yelled as she hugged air and I smiled.... Her eyes widen at something....

"Has Izzy been coming to this room?" She asked.... That led me to where was Izzy?....

We both shrugged " where is he?" We shrugged again..... I sent him a text....

Me: Come home.... Dinner is in ten or 20.... I guess! Leave Emma alone!

Izzy: Shut up! I'm not with Emma... I'm about to start driving though.... Bye! Stupid!

Me:🙄

"He's on his way" I said as I raised my head to see Camille and Amelia stuffing their faces with Hershey's..... I stared at them!

"What? Mom won't know" Camille said as she opened another one.... I faced Amelia....

"It will take just a trip to the toilet... It won't hurt" she shrugged and I rolled my eyes.... I went to my Instagram.... New post!.... Useless**

It was Allison.... And her minions having their hair and nails done.... Seems they'll be here tomorrow..... I'll avoid then though..... I went to the discover page... Scroll.... "Pass me a bottle of water please"_ I said as Camille handed me one... I drank it.....

I spat out my water and started coughing " what the fuck!?" I said....

"Language woman!"  Amelia said as I rolled my eyes....

"He has a fucking cold!" I said as Camille came to check....

"Who?" Amelia said as she folded her clothes....

"Drake fucking Campbell" I said...

"Seems you swear a lot when you're angry?" I rolled my eyes again and I rolled my eyes....

I went straight to his name and called.... He picked at the fifth ring....

"Where the fuck are you!?" My voice boomed.... I could hear chatters....

"Well hello to you too" he said

"I'm not joking drake.... Don't you have a cold and what are you doing outside by 7?" I ranted all out waiting for his answer.... He sighed...

"I went out with Rosalyn.... Okay? There's no biggy and by the way.... I knew you were going to freak out" he said and sighed.... My nerves calmed down a bit....

"See you tomorrow" I hung up... Amelia and Camille were staring at me.... I raised my eyebrow at them....

"You hung up.... Annalise will be disappointed girl" Amelia said as I sighed and sunk into the chair I was presently sitting on.... I'm actually not ready to talk to him....

"Raise your hand if your hungry" Camille said.... I stared wide eyed at her and Amelia who raised their hands....

"Didn't you just stuff Hershey's and Oreos in your face?" I asked as I raised my hands dramatically....

"And little pop tarts" Amelia said.... I shook my head as they both laughed....

"I can't believe you'll be turning 19 next month" I shook my head at her as her phone rang..... I looked at her phone and took a second glance at it..... I and Camille gasped..... Amelia smirked at us.....

"Yooo!..... Really?...... Cool..... Yeah.... Soon..... Tell her she's stupid..... I love you!" She hung up and said "That was Zeke" I nodded....

"So now you're using an android phone because you want to prove the boys wrong?" Camille said.....

"And its not even the latest one!" I said wide eyed....

"So? I'm not a phone freak" she said but she was....

"I'm very sure you'll change it before you go back" I mumbled under my breath.....

"Watch me" she said.....

"Dinner!" Mom practically yelled through the intercom.... I shook my head and they both laughed....

We went downstairs.... I had removed my flannel and replaced it with one of Amelia's overdosed Tee's.... And I removed my head visor.... With my sneakers replaced with slides.....

Shock! Dad was at the table today.... Izzy was at the table too.... He and dad having a pinky fight....! Really? Eileen wasn't here today.... But surely will be tomorrow.... Dad's eyes widened at the sight of Amelia but Izzy heat him to it....

"I missed you too buddy" she said as she ruffled his hair...

"Don't touch my baby" Izzy playfully scowled at her as we all laughed....

"C'mere Amy!" Dad said.... He calls her Amy and Annalise.... Anna.... And he calls them the double A's.... Dad is like that! She hugged him and mom was grinning like a child..... We was super happy today.... All of her kids will be home today...!

"I've missed you old man" Amelia said as I took a seat at my my normal place and Izzy and Camille had settled down..... Camille was on her phone now chewing on an apple! And I eat more?

"Old?" Dad said as I and Amelia pointed at his hair.... Dad was aging.... Cool! Mom doesn't look it at all....

"Let's eat! Your mom will never make me live this down" he said as he sat down.... We all sat down waiting for mom to serve.... Today was Mac and cheese.... Typical! And meat loaf!.... I love meat loaf....

Mom served us all and now she had already sat down when dad starts with the questions.... I was already digging into my food....

"So? How is school?" He asked facing Amelia....

"Good? I guess? It okay but stressful.... I wish I was still in high school.... It was easier.... I actually thought I was suffering but then I wasn't and now- I'm ranting aren't I?" She said all out and we all nodded and laughed.... That was Amelia for you.... Ask her a question and She'll give you answers in ten folds!...

This dinner wasn't normal! I could see it in everybody's faces.... Even mom.... Dad is actually laughing and eating dinner with us.... Its weird.... No business talk.... But I think I spoke too soon...

"Um.... I guess we'll be having another formal party.... Probably ending of this month.... We are having a business party and we're hosting... Our company signed a thing with the Harpers.... So we are having a business party" He said all out and I dropped my fork.... I wasn't expecting business to come up at all.... It was going great.... I regained myself...

"Cool dad" we all said and mom smiled... We all smiled too.... Amelia and Camille were having their stupid footsie under the table....

"Will you too stop playing footsie!" I and Izzy yelled.... But before any body could talk we heard....

"Dinner is usually not this loud!" Zeke's voice boomed in the corridor.... I flew from my seat..... Practically flew....

"Zeke!" I ran to hug him and he chuckled....

"I missed you too!" He yelled... That was Zeke! He yells a lot.... I noticed more than three head and I Saw a not so familiar one.... That was jasmine!

Amelia was hugging Annalise.... And Camille was hugging Zeke after I disentangled my Del from him!...

"Anna!" I yelled and hugged her she laughed.... Her laughter was melodic... I love my sister a lot....

"I've missed you a lot" I said as I disentangled myself from her...

"Same here Artemis" she said as I smiled and glanced at Jordan that was looking down and grinning like crazy!.... I glanced at mom and dad that were still waiting for us to finish the pleasantries..... I looked back at Annalise.... She was going back to her old size.... But not too big.... But its quite obvious she had gone through that dreaded word.... I sighed and looked at all the best people in my life.... I couldn't help but smile.... The smile didn't move from my face until I heard someone cough....

"Okay okay! Sibling reunion! You have a visitor!" Jasmine said as she came out and we all laughed but I looked at Zeke that just winked at me.... I shook my head and smiled...

"If it isn't the girl that doesn't believe I'm the best Carter!" Camille said as she walked towards jasmine and folded her arms.... While jasmine yelped and hid behind Annalise's back.... We all laughed again.... Until dad coughed.....

"Will the parents get hugs now?" Dad said as we laughed and they all went to hug dad but dad gave jasmine a very intimidating look that made jasmine look like she was going to dig a hole and hide in it.... Dad smiled at her and we all heard her loud sigh... And we laughed....

We went to sit down.... Mom was grinning like crazy and fed Annalise like she was going to sell her as a mature chicken!.... But we were fine with it..... Amelia couldn't stop talking to Annalise.... I was so happy to see Anna happy again.... Jasmine and Zeke were smearing food on each other...

"Zeke will you stop? She's a girl!" Mom yelled at him and he smiled not before smearing Mac and cheese in her hair.... We laughed and now dad's phone rang....

"Nice having dinner with you guys.... And you Hispanic girl.... We have some talking to do but business calls" he stood up and Jordan scoffed..... Annalise hit him and mom glared at him....

"Do the dishes" mom said as she walked up the stairs....

"Not it!" I yelled....

"Not it" went round and at the end.... Izzy was to do the dishes... We all laughed at him.... We waited for him in the kitchen before we moved on.... Annalise was telling us rehab stories... It sounded fun but I knew she didn't like it.... Jasmine relaxed though.... She didn't even show the nervousness.... We all liked her....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Isn't it mad that we're all sitting here when we're meant to be sleeping.... ? Knowing mom will come downstairs and go ballistic on us?" Izzy said as he kept eating popcorn.... We all laughed and pushed the thought back....

"Its good to be home" Annalise said as she yawned....

"Seems someone started sleeping early" Jordan said as he ate popcorn...

"Shut up!" Annalise said and not they starts their banters!....

"I wonder why you guys always win cutest twins.... Every school year!" Amelia said as we laughed... And they stopped as Annalise laid her head on Amelia's lap....

"I need food" Jasmine said... And we stared at her....

"What?" She shrugged and her tummy grumbled....

"She eats more than a man.... You don't want to see her extra hungry side" Zeke said as jasmine threw a pillow at him and we laughed....

"Ivy, Amelia and Jasmine.... Kitchen!" Annalise said.... She didn't even call Camille because she was gone! To dreamland!... We stood up and before we left a pillow fight had already started but with less noise.... We laughed...

Annalise walked over to the coffee machine and wanted to make some.....

"No! No! No!" Amelia said as she pushed Annalise away from it....

"Why?" Annalise said as we all yawned at the same time.... We all laughed....

"This is why... By the wa–" she was cut short by the loud voice of Jordan yelling "eat pillow!".... We all laughed and then we heard a door open and slam!.... Everyone went silent..... The boys ran into the kitchen.... Now we were whispering and chaos in the kitchen... Camille was fully awake now!.... We hid under the table.... And jasmine shushed us.... My lip was in a thin line.... The light of the kitchen came on....

We saw mom's legs.... She walked round and she coughed.... We still stayed there..... I've never wished for a better time for Izzy to sneeze than now.... He sneezed and we all stared at him and he shrugged....

"Get up" Mom's voice was firm.... We all  stood up with innocent looks on our faces.... We all grinned at her.... She closed her eyes and put her thumb and index finger to pin down her nose....

"Go to your room and for this... You'll be waking up by 4 tomorrow morning and you'll be working" she said as we all groaned.... Knowing mom will do as she said.... We said our good nights before going to our rooms.... Jasmine got the last room on this floor which is in between Jordan and Zeke's room.... Poor girl!

I yawned and quickly changed into an oversized tee.... "Go to sleep baby" I yawned again and I plopped down on my bed.... I was out like a light!
