~Chapter 8~
Amanda's POV:
The next day in school turned out pretty good, the guys were with me and I didn't feel as much lonely anymore, but of course I still felt that loneliness. Today is my day off in the cafe and it is Friday today, I can actually get some sleep. I go to Christian's house today, I didn't have to worry about Aunt Lucy because she always goes out with her friends during the weekends and doesn't get back until Monday afternoon, so that gives me time for myself.
"You excited to see Mom?" I heard Christian ask
"Yeah I'm pretty excited to see her, I haven't seen her in forever." I said
"She misses you, you know." He said with a smile as he focused his attention on the road.
"I miss her too, so much." I said, a few minutes later we arrived at the Ferguson's house.
"You can stay here if you want, I'll just go get the twins." I said
"Nah, I'll go with you, don't want anything to happen to my best friend now, do I?" And I just rolled my eyes and gave a light laugh.
"Whatever Chris." I said and got out the car with him following my actions and walked to the front door to knock.
"Coming!" I heard Mr Ferguson's voice say from inside. The door opened to reveal Mr Ferguson.
"Hello sweetie, Christian." Her greeted
"Good afternoon Sir." Christian said
"Oh please, don't call me sir, just call me Daniel, I've always told Amanda to call me by my name but she prefers Mr Ferguson, it makes me sound old, gosh." Mr Ferguson said with a laugh.
"Sure thing Daniel."
"Oh you're here for the twins right?" Mr Ferguson asked and I nodded my head.
"Kacy's taking a nap so I was in charge with the kids for a while."
"Come in" He added and opened the door wider for us to walk in.
We walked to the living room to see the kids watching cartoons.
"Hey guys" I said and their head snapped to me and Christian. They all ran to me and Christian and gave us hugs. To say that Christian was shocked that the kids were giving them hugs is an understatement, he looked bewildered.
"Alright, time to go." I said and lifted Ashton in my arms as Ashley wanted to be carried by Christian, that little brat, just kidding.
"Thanks for taking care of them Mr Ferguson." I said and kissed his cheek.
"No problem sweetie, now take care of yourselves. Christian take care of Amanda and twins for me, will ya?" He said
"Of course Daniel, I'll take good care of them." Christian said and gave me a smile.
"Bye Matt" I said and kissed his forehead.
"Bye guys!" He said
"Lock the door behind you guys alright?"
"Yes Mr Ferguson, thanks again." I said and got Ashton's bag.
"Now let's go to Christian's house." I said and walked out the door with Christian following me.
"Alright now, you guys behave here in the back okay? Don't be too naughty." I said and buckled their seat belts.
"Yes Sissy" They both said, I got in the front as Christian got in the driver's seat.
We got to his house in 10 minutes and I forgot how big his house was, it's massive.
"I'll take Ashley again." He said to me and I gave him a smile.
"Thanks Chris."
"Don't mention it." He said returning the smile.
"Come now Ashton." I said and placed him on my hip. For 8 year olds, they were pretty tiny which is why we can easily carry them. Usually 8 year olds can do things by themselves now, but since our parents died when they were pretty young and I was fairly young at that age as well, they don't know how to do other things and also why I need to help them.
"C'mon, let's go." Christian said and walked to the door with me following behind.
"I'm sure Mom's excited to see you again." He said
"Well I'm really excited to see her." I said with a smile on my face.
"Here we go" He said and opened the door and walked to the kitchen. I looked around and saw that everything remained the same, it didn't change a bit.
"Mandy!" I heard Christian call
"Coming!" I walked to the kitchen and saw Mrs Matthews.
"Oh my dear Amanda, how I've missed you." She said walking towards me and pulling me in a hug.
"I've missed you too Mrs Matthews." I said and wrapped my arms around her.
"Why did you stop coming over?" She asked as we pulled away, I looked over to Christian and pleaded for help.
"Things just really got busy, Mom." He said
"Oh well I guess that's alright, as long as you're here now." She said with a smile on her face.
"And who are these cuties?" She asked looking at Ashton who was still in my arms and Ashley who was with Christian.
"Oh these are my siblings, Ashton and Ashley, they're twins." I said
"Wait, these are Ashton and Ashley?" She asked and I nodded my head.
"Oh my they've grown so much since the last time I saw them." She said and took Ashton from me.
"Hi there little one, I'm Christian's mom." She introduced herself to him.
"Here let me take him Mom, you can take Ashley now." Christian said to his mother while taking Ashton and giving Ashley to her.
"She looks like you Amanda." She said which made me smile. Mom always said that Ashley would grow up to look a lot like me, she had a lot of my features, specially my eyes.
"Yeah, Mom always said that she'd grow up to look a lot like me since she had a lot my features." I said smiling at Ashley who gave me a goofy grin.
"Yay! I look like Sissy!" She exclaimed.
"No fair, I want to look like Amanda, she's very pretty and so that'd make me a handsome boy!" Ashton protested
"We're twins dummy!" Ashley retorted which made me, Christian, and his mom laugh.
"Well yeah, that's true." He mumbled softly
"Oh you two are so silly." Mrs Matthews said and gave her a kiss on the cheek before returning her to me.
"What I meant to say was that because she is a girl she will look a lot more like Amanda." She explained to Ashton.
"It's no fair though, I wanna look like Sissy." He pouted
"You're so silly Ashy." I said and reached to ruffle his hair.
"You look a lot like Amanda, you know? Same nose, same lip, same rosy cheeks, same complexion, and the same beautiful brown eyes." Christian looked into my eyes as he said that.
"You think so?" Ashton asked, Christian looked away from me and down at Ashton.
"I know so"
Well he's being quite sweet
