Chapter 1: New Neighbors

Mckenily POV

I sit back in the front seat of my car, listening to my two of my younger siblings argue about what movie they can watch next; Joseph and AbiGail are technically younger than me by about fifteen minutes, We are triplets. I just sit back in the red minivan with my mom driving and my Dad in our other car with my other younger siblings Tony, Jada and Conner; my Mom decided to take the older kids and most of the luggage with the minivan, and my dad decided to take the black Ford pickup truck and the younger siblings, well I mean they are not young. Tony is thirteen, Jada is eleven, and Conner ten. All of my siblings including me do a family channel, where we sing; but we also show our fans are other hobbies and family. We have about seventy thousand views on our channel, so not a extreme amount. We are moving to California from Minnesota because of the cancer treatment center, is located in Los Angeles.

I look into the sideview mirror of the van and see that my brother is filming for our channel.

"Say Hi Mckenily."

"Hi, Whats up? You know what we are doing right now? Driving from Minnesota to California, Northridge. So we are about twenty minutes away from our new home, that us kids have never seen, including me, and I am so excited. I get to live in Cali!" I say smiling the putting my pink sun glasses on my eyes.

"WHOAHHHH!" Joe Says as he puts the camera back in it's bag.

I take my Iphone out and plug my pink beats in and sit back and listen to music.

I knew I fell asleep because I wake up to Abigail Screaming in my ear.

"We are here. We are here!" She says shaking me.

"I know . I know!" I coo back. I take and put her light purple shades off her head and cover her eyes with them. We both laugh. I watch as the van pulls into the neighborhood. Welcome to northridge Villa a sign says.

" Joseph film that sign." I say pointing to it. He does as asked, he always listens to me, or atleast I hope he does. I flip back to looking at all the houses and the ocean that lays not too far behind, All the houses are like beach houses with three floors and really nice front yards. I really wonder what the backyards look like. What are backyard is going to look like.

" There it is." My mom sayings showing us where the house is.

I look at the house beside ares and I see a basketball hoop and a RV in its driveway. Why would there be a RV sitting there in a driveway? Then we drive past that RV and pull into our driveway. the second that the car stop I flew out of the van and ran to the backyard. AbiGail follows. I stop shy of a couple feet and turn around, watching AbiGail from behind me. The pool and beach and all the beautiful plants. I run down to the beach, and on my way I rip my shoes off. The second my feet hit the water I am in love with California. The Water is so clear and the prettiest shade of blue that I have ever seen. then I hear Joseph and he has the camera because he is speaking as he runs towards the beach.

"And this is our backyard, and this is the ocean in our backyard!"

"Whoah! I am so excited to be here, It is about time. Mckenily how do you like it here?"

"I don't like I say." Trying to keep a straight a face. "I love it!"

I go further into the water, holding the bottom of my shorts up. AbiGail Joins, then out of know where I can see Tony and Jada.

"Yeah, I would join you all but I do not think the camera is waterproof, so I am just going to stay out here and film you guys." Joseph says pointing the camera in my direction. He films everything, then cuts everything but five minutes of it to put in our channel.

" Oh screw it, we can get a new damn waterproof camera tomorrow." He says throwing the camera to the ground, pulling off his shirt and jumping head first into the water.

The I see our dad, with Conner.

"Guys don't you even care about seeing the inside of the house." He says waving us over, holding some towels up for us to dry off with. We all jump out of the water together, like we were in sync. I take a towel and follow my dad back to the house, everyone following behind me. My dad stops, steps from the front door.

" Now kids, all of your rooms are painted your favorite colors, Joseph and Conner, you guys are sharing a room, Jada and abiGail sharing, Mckenily you have your own, and Tony you have your before I forget all your stuff was moved in to the rooms, and you guys we bought some new skateboards for you all, they are in the garage."

"Ok great now, can we please go in?" Tony says, grabbing at the door.

"Go enjoy!" my dad says.

Tony is the first room I see, red, his favorite color. It also has a skateboarding theme to it,. which make sense because beides singing and playing the drums, he loves to skateboard. My room is right next to his. I stop at the door. It says Mckenily at the top of it, and has some photos of me and my friends back in Minnesota. then I grab the door handle and go in.

"Oh my fricken gosh!"

My room is my favorite color, purple; a darker purple with all my other things a lighter purple. My bed is a purple bedspread, with black flowers. I go to my window and open in, I have a perfect view of the ocean, the bright blue sea. I see a whiteboard that says Welcome Mckenily. Wow do I love my room, back in minnesota my room was pink, my favorite color when I was like five, and It was really girly and had all my dolls on shelves above me. This room matches my personality perfect. I really want to go back outside, so I go and try to find Jada and AbiGail's room. I stop when I hear Joseph jumping on his bed.I look into his bedroom.

"Come on, lets go!" I say.

He jumps off his bed and follows me.

"Hell yes. I love this room so much!"

"I love mine too, but I really want to go outside and enjoy the weather." I say smiling.

We go down stairs and find AbiGail and Jada coming our way.

"Dad is going to shoot us." Jada says.

" Why?" Joseph says

"He had a secret for us. He was going to show us a room for our videos and where we can sing and perform, and we saw it." abiGail says with a slight smile on her face.

"Well you better show us." I say

Jada takes and leads us down to the end of the hall. then opens a room.

"Hell no! Unreal! " Joseph says.

We enter the room and it has everything that we need to make videos , and has a new set of drums, Joseph and I have a microphone, Joseph also has a new guitar, AbiGail has a keyboard,and Jada has a set of drums that are pink.

I see Joseph eyes dart toward the recording studio.

"This is pretty awesome, we can record songs whenever we want, and we also have a computer to edit the songs and edit our videos. I am in love with this pl-."

"You Guys! This was supposed to be a surprise! But now that you know how do you like?" My Dad says smiling.

I run over to my dad and give him a hug, and everyone follows.

"We love it! but do you know what we can eat? I am starving." Tony says.

"Mom is going to pick some food up because we really do not have any, so why don't you guys go outside for a little while."

I practically run for the garage, I am going to take my skateboard and ride it up and down the street. Joseph must want to also because he runs right by me. Once we get to the garage I am shocked once again. We have new bikes, skateboards, sports equipments, and A campfire grill.

"Wow. This is just so cool. Look at our skateboards." Joseph says grabing his and showing it to me.

It has his name on it, along with a skulls and other boyish things.I take mine down and mine alo has my name on it, with a tiger on it, a purple tiger on it.[1]

I hop on my skateboard and fly down my driveway. Joseph right behind. It rides so smooth along this nicely paved street. Me and Joseph are teaching some tricks when all of the sudden I see somebody come out our next door neighbors RV carrying some stuff with him. But then he looks back at us, but continues to bring the stuff into the house. Joe and I continue but we get interrupted by the boy coming back.

"Hey, Im Ross you must be our new neighbors." He says holding his hand out to greet my brother.

Ross. I recognize him, he is from the disney show Austin and Ally. he is really handsome. He has really light blond short hair, brown eyes, and an athletic build.

Ross POV

" Hi I am Mckenily, and this is my brother Joseph. We are triplets, but our sister is inside."

Mckenily is a very small petite girl, with blue eye, and almost no hair, but I can tell that is brown by her stubs. But she is really gorgeous. Joseph is a blond buzz cut, with brown eyes, and a athletic build.

"Where are you guys from?" I ask.

"Oh actually we are from Minnesota. See my five other siblings, my parents, and I moved here to be closer to a cancer treatment center. I have Cancer." She says smiling.

I find that really sad, but she seems strong about it, she seems like she fights it like it is nothing.

"Oh I am sorry to hear that. I hate to leave but I just got back from our tour, you see I sing and perform in a band, but I am sure my Mom will be coming to have a big large meet and greet, so I am sure I will see you soon."

She smiles. "Alrighty Bye."

"Later dude." Joseph says waving at me as he starts riding his skateboard.

Right now all I feel like doing is sleeping in my own bed, or going to see my girlfriend Laura, who I have not seen in a while, but I do not think my parents would let me leave right now, we have a lot to unpack. I walk back into my house and go and plop down on my couch right next to Rocky. I notice that rocky and I are the only one's in the room, so mom must be upstairs with Rydel helping her unpack.

"Who were you talking to out there?" Rocky says, giving me a strange look, then brushing his brown hair from his face.

" Are new neighbors. I just went up and greeted them." I say smiling.

I watch as my Mom enters the room from upstairs.

My mom speaks. "Yes we have new neighbors, and we will all be going over to talk to their family , so I would go to bed early tonight alright?"

"Yeah, I am going to go to bed right now, and mom tomorrow I am going to go hang out with laura alright? I say

"Yes. Good night honey." My mom says.

I get off the couch and go over to my mom, who gets up and gives me a hug and a kiss on the check. even though I am seventeen she still does it all the time, but she also does it to riker, my even older brother.

Mckenily's POV

I wake up in my new bedroom, early. I take and get out of my bed and walk downstairs. I go into the kitchen where I hear noises from, to find everyone else downstairs, sititng down eating breakfast. I take a seat between Tony and Conner.\

"Thanks for waking me up." I say bitterly.

"Sorry honey." My dad says.

My mom hands me a plate of eggs, and french toast, and after I eat I go back upstairs and get out of my fuzzy hello kitty pjs and I put on a pair of jean shorts, a bralette, and a army color flannel. I take my leisurely time, until I hear a knock at the door.

"Mckenly, Can you please come down here." My mother says with a calm voice

When I get downstairs I notice my mom has already answered the door. I look at the five handsome boys, and the gorgeous girl, along with two smiling parents. I smile and give them a quick wave.

"Hello I am Stormie, this is my husband Mark, and are children Riker,Rydel,Rocky,Ross, and Ryland."

"Hi, I am Melissa, my husband Willie, and our children Mckenily, Joesph, AbiGail,Tony, Jada, and Conner. you guys are all welcome in and join us."

As everyone one of them step in the first thing I notice that's different about there family is their all really tall, my family averages five-four and they're all about six feet tall. We all gather around the living room, some on the two couches and some on the floor aside the couches.

Stormie is the first to speak up.

"Well it is nice to have some new neighbors, we were not all excepting some, we have been gone for almost five months and just arrived home from are kids tour. There in a band along with a good family friend. So why did you decide to move to california?"

"Are daughter Mckenily has cancer, and we moved closer to be near the treatment center, and we all have kind of wanted to move away from Minnesota. It gets cold up there." My Father says.

"We also sing, we have a youtube account." Tony says.

"Wow thats really cool! I would love to hear you guys sometime." Riker Says.

Riker is definitely the oldest. He is real handsome, Brown and blonde hair, black glasses, and wearing a tie.

"Yeah, And I would love to hear you guys sometime." Jada Says.

"Well I am sorry to have to leave so soon, the kids have somewhere to go." Stormie says.

"Well If you are not busy I was wondering f you and Mark would want to join me and Willie for lunch, and later we are planning to have a bond fire and you guys are all invited."

"That sounds great, Mark and I will Join down at the cafe in LA at noon, and we will all be there tonight. See you guys soon." Stormie says. We all walk the Lynch's to the door and say our goodbyes.

Ross POV

When we get back to the house my mom speaks up.

"That poor girl, I think her name is Mckenily, I can't believe she has cancer, It must be so hard oh her family. They all seem so nice, And yes we will all be joining them tonight at eight, so I want you guys back from where ever you guys have plans tonight. OK?"

"Yep, works for me." I say "But now I got to go so bye."

"Bye Sweetie, say hi to Laura for me."

" Will do, mom."

As I walk out the front door I grab the keys to my door, and leave my house. When I get outside I can automaticly smell the breeze from the sea, the breeze that I have been missing for five months now. I also have been missed driving, and I can't wait to go over and see my girlfriend. right now there is so many great thought going through my head. Before I start driving I text Laura saying I will be picking her up in about ten minutes.

When I pull up into her driveway I almost cry of Joy, with seeing her again. Beautiful as always. Her dark brown hair with blonde highlights which is usually in curls in straighten today. I get out of the truck as she comes to greet me, and the second we meet, she is in my arms. I kiss her lightly.

"Wow, Long time no see stranger." I say

"I know, and you look handsome as ever." She says smiling

I pull her into my arms again, the longing in our touch is ridiculous.

" Ready to go?" I ask breaking the hug.

"Yep all ready."

I go grab the front door and let her get in,closing it behind her. Then getting in the drivers seat and start driving. On the way there I just take in the moment that I really am with her again, after not seeing her for what seems like forever. I Just think this is going to be a perfect day, we are going to go out for lunch, then hit the beach.

[1] I have a skateboard like this, so that is where I get this idea.
