As I sat by the window I couldn't help but notice that there was a moving truck parking outside. Then I remembered that the house next to ours was for sale. I sat and watched as I saw a friendly looking family emerge from the van who was following the truck. There was a father, a mother, and four brothers and a dog. Wow, a whole family. More than what I can say about us. With my dad always leaving for business and my mom always dating the house was pretty lonely. I sat there thinking about my tragic family when all of a sudden I heard a scream from outside. I blinked back to reality and saw the youngest of the brothers who looked about eight or nine running around the newly fresh cut lawn with the golden retriever hot on his trail. The other three brothers watched and smiled sweetly and walked to the back of the van to unpack their suitcases. The youngest of the three had dark curly hair, the oldest looking about the same, and the middle looking had straight hair. They all took their things in and didn't come out so I left my window and back to my bed.
"Melissa!"
Great. Just great. Mother's here. And by the sound of her laughter her boyfriend Sage was here, too. Life is awesome. Not. I rushed down the stairs almost tripping but made it safely down. I went into the kitchen to see what my mom wanted and was a little surprised to see a familiar woman with her. And of course. Sage. Then I remembered the woman's friendly face. It was the mother of the new neighborhood boys.
"Melissa say hello to Denise Jonas. She's our new neighbor from New Jersey."
I walked towards the friendly woman who was giving me a sweet smile. She said "Hi, nice to meet you, Melissa!"
"Nice to meet you, too." I replied. When she shook my hand I couldn't help but notice how warm and loving they were. I really didn't want to let go but I had no other choice. That was so much better than my moms monthly hug. I took a step back to prevent myself from reaching back to her hand which I would've done.
"Would you like to come over and meet our boys? It looks like you'd be good friends!" she smiled.
I looked at my mom slightly to see if she would approve. She gave me a little nod and went back into the kitchen to tend to her lover.
I smiled back. "I'd love to."
Can't believe it. I'm actually gonna see a whole family. I kept thinking about it while I followed close behind Denise towards the house. It was a little yellow house. Not to big nor small. Just prefect for a family. As we approached the door she went to the side to let me in first. I walked in slowly, slightly looking up to see the stairs.
It was so quiet and peaceful.
"BOYS! COME DOWN HERE!" yelled Denise.
I jumped a little from her voice and then suddenly that quiet little house turned into a stampede of boys running down the stairs and jumping over each other. As son as the three oldest came to view they jumped the last ten steps and started babbling.
"I GOT HERE FIRST!"
"NO YOU DIDN'T NICK I GOT HERE FIRST!"
"FAT CHANCE, KEVIN! I DID!"
"BOTH OF YOU LOST I GOT HERE FIRST!"
"WELL, I WAS BORN FIRST!"
BOYS!
Suddenly they turned to look at their mother who was starring straight at them.
"Boys we have a guest."
Suddenly the six eyes turned to look at me and suddenly i wasn't sure if i really wanted to meet the new neighbors of New Jersey.
