Chapter 1
New York the city that never sleeps. It's 1 in the morning and here I am sitting on my bed with my blank computer screen in front of me. I stared at my computer screen for half an hour as if the words were going to appear on the screen themselves. Eh it's useless, I can use a cup of hot chocolate right now. I threw the covers off of my bed. Sliding my feet into the night slippers next to my bed, I walked out of the room climbing downwards on the stairs towards the kitchen.
"Nat what are you doing awake?" Dad who apparently was sitting in the T. V room this whole time. I bit my lip and turned,
"In the mood in for a cup of hot chocolate." I answered crossing my fingers behind my back hoping that he was not going to ask another question.
"How about you make that 2 cups of hot chocolate and come sit next to me on the couch and tell me why you're up this late." He smirked I groaned and made my way into the kitchen adding milk and Cocoa powder into a kettle placing it on the stove. I then took out two mugs. Once the hot chocolate finished I poured it into the mugs adding marshmallows to it. I placed the mugs onto a tray and carried it to the T. V room. I handed Dad his mug and coaster, And placed the tray on the table, taking my coaster and mug. Nate moved a pillow to make space for me as he patted his lap,
"Now why don't you honestly tell me why you're awake this late." I sighed and playfully pouted as I set my head on his lap and raised my legs up on the couch,
"Well I could ask you the same question," I retorted,
"Natalie, we've both established that you're just as terrible as a delayer than you are as a liar" He chuckled. His fingers running through my hair, something he's done ever since I was little when I couldn't go to sleep, or whenever I needed comfort.
"It's nothing honestly." I stated,
"Then why is it keeping you up this late, it's got to be something." taking in a deep breath I told him what's been on my mind,
"I'm having trouble with starting my English essay." Nate chuckled shaking his head,
"That's it?" He asked, I raised my head to look at him and glared, he chuckled and raised his hands up in surrender "Okay, Okay I'm sorry. I'll try being more supportive. What's your topic?"
"I'm supposed to write something life changing I faced,"
"Oh that is a tough, when is it due?" he asked, I smiled innocently,
"In 2 days." he groaned, grabbing the pillow that my head was laying on I protected my face knowing what was coming next,
"You. Never. Learn." He yelled playfully smashing the pillow onto my face with every word, I squealed and covered my face,
"Nate what are you doing to our daughter ?" Mom's voice came from the hallway. Dad's hands froze in midair. We both looked up behind the couch to see Mom holding Sierra as she slept on her shoulder. She had her hand on her hip fighting back the smile that was forming on her face.
"She deserved it." He stated shrugging his shoulders,
"Why?" Mom asks me as a smirk formed on her face as her eyes turn to me, I smiled innocently
"I have an essay due in 2 days, and I still didn't start on it." Mom chuckled as she shook her head,
"Oh come on Nate. When you were her age you'd write the essay the day before it was due. " she said as she joined him on the couch. And then it hit me I knew what I was going to write. I dashed up the stairs and into my room.
