• The Next Evening •

~ Maddie's POV ~

" So , I have some exciting news " my mom said , setting down her fork as we all were at the dinner table , eating dinner .

Connor and I just stared at her , waiting for the news .

" Well I have great news for me and great news for you " she repeated .

" Mom , can you just tell us the news already ? " I groaned .

" Okay , okay . I have a date tomorrow " she smiled .

" Ew ! " Connor said , making a face as I squealed .

" That's great mom . Who is he ? Where did you guys met ? I am so happy for you " I said , smiling widely .

As much as I hate that Mom's moving on from dad but at the same time , I want a man in the house . The house just feels lonely with just Connor , mom and I . With another person , it will be better for all of us .

" Well , he's a doctor and we met just a few weeks ago when I had to get my blood test and we fell in love ever since , we are going on our official date tomorrow night " she smiled .

" Okay , anyways , what's the great news for us ? " Connor said , rolling his eyes at the both of us .

" Well , I asked Mitch if he could fly in and he agreed so Mitch staying here for the weekend " she announced .

" Yes ! " Connor and I said in unison as we high fived each other .

" I have to go a clean my room if Mitch is coming ! " Connor said excitedly , forgetting all about dinner and racing upstairs .

" Yeah , I have to go set up the computer monitors in the basement so Mitch can record while he's here " I said , getting up and heading towards the basement steps , leaving mom alone for dinner .

I shut off my phone , getting up from my bed and heading towards my desktop to start the call .

I'm so happy that Mitch is coming . I have something to ask him ...

~ Lachlan's POV ~

I paused the video and just stared at her face carefully .

She's so beautiful ....

I had decided to watch one of Maddie's videos on YouTube and man , she's amazing .

No , Lachlan , what the fudge are you thinking ? You can't like her ! She's Mitch's sister !

But I like her . She's funny , charming , beautiful . My dream girl .

I can't get my mind off her .

I sighed , turning back to my bedroom which was stripped of most of my values since I was leaving for my flight on Monday .

I am going to visit Mitch and Jerome in their new house in St . Pete , Florida and I am pretty excited .

Maybe hanging out with the boys will keep my mind off Maddie ...

• The Next Night •

~ Maddie's POV ~

" Okay , Connor fell asleep but should be up and hungry in a few hours so just order pizza or something . Important phone numbers on the fridge and money on the kitchen counter for any takeout " mom explained quickly to Mitch and I as she ran around the house getting ready for her date .

" Okay mom , you act like I haven't lived here basically my whole life " Mitch smirked , rolling his eyes .

Mitch had got in Montreal just a few hours ago and Connor had fallen asleep waiting for him .

He was in for quite a surprise when he woke up ...

The doorbell rang and mom's eyes widen as she slipped on some high heels .

" I'll get it " I offered , getting up from the living room couch and heading towards the front door .

I opened the door to see a middle aged man in a suit and tie holding a rose .

Damn , this guy got class ...

" Good evening , is Blare here ? " the man greeted , smiling widely .

" Yes , I'm here and ready " my mom said , coming up behind me .

" Okay , Maddie we are leaving . Good night " she smiled , kissing me on the cheek before grabbing the man's hand as he lead her to his car .

" Bye ! Have fun ! But not too much ! " I yelled , before closing the front door and locking it .

I walked back into the living room and fell back onto the couch to see Mitch on his phone .

" So big bro , what have you planned for the night ? " I asked .

He shrugged . " I don't know , what you have in mind ? ".

" Netflix and popcorn ? " I subjected .

" Yeah , I'm up " he smiled .

• A Few Hours Later •

After a whole hour of arguing about what movie to watch we finally decided to watch one of my favorite movies of all time , Home Alone 2 : Lost In New York .

" Hey Mitch ? " I asked , pausing the movie for a second .

" Yeah Mads ? " he replied , his eyes landing on me .

" I was wondering , since mom will have a man in the house , can I live in St. Pete with you and Jerome ? " I asked shyly .

I was really tried of living with mom and Connor . I mean , don't get me wrong , I love them more than anyone in the world but I just feel like I need to be around people that understand me and my career .

If I lived with Mitch and Jerome then it would be a dream come true . If I ever needed help with recording I could ask them . Unlike here where I have to figure everything out for myself .

There's a part of me that doesn't want to leave the house I have been living in my whole life but I honestly think it's time I move out of the house and live my life .

" Did you talk to mom about this ? " Mitch asked , a serious look on his face .

" No " I trailed off .

" Maddie , I would love you to live with us but ... mom and Connor need you " he frowned .

" Mitch , I know but I'm 18 , don't you think I should move on ? Mom and Connor will be fine . Plus , if anything happens Marley just lives a half a hour away from here " I begged .

" Maddie " he groaned . " Okay , if mom says sure than you can move in with Jerome and I but if she needs you then no ".

I sighed but agreed .

What will mom say ? What if she says she's not ready for me to move ?

I guess I will just have to figure something out ...
