I wasn't really looking forward to moving back with my dad Bullfrog. I was just fine living with my grandparents after my mother died a few years back. But now they were getting to old and I had no one left except my dad.

The reunion was nothing to special. I remember it as if it were only yesterday. Which it was…

I got out of the cab with my one duffle bag in hand, since I didn't posses a lot of things, and slowly walked towards the two story house which I would now call home.

After I rung the doorbell a few times, the door swung open and I came face to face with someone who looked like me quite some.

He stared at me with the same green eyes I had, only mine were lighter. And then he did the unthinkable and brought me into a hug. I sort of froze for a second not knowing what to do.

Snapping out of it I put my arms around him and patted his back awkwardly.

"Uh, nice to see you too Eli," I said feeling a little uncomfortable. I mean he is my half brother, and we were close as kids when I still lived in this neighborhood, but I haven't seen him since I was eight. So I sort of felt like strangers.

He stepped away and looked at me and smiled, "You really grew up didn't you, you look older." he said, his smile not faltering.

"That tends to happen as years pass by," I replied and chuckled a bit.

"Well come in, Bullfrog and Cece have been waiting for you," he said while escorting me in.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous to see my dad. I wasn't the same eight year old he left all those years ago. As I walked in I noticed the place was a bit cluttered but clean enough, I placed my bag on the floor only to jump when Eli's voice boomed in my right ear,

"Dad, She's here!" he must have noticed me jump and said, "Sorry didn't mean to startle you," he smirked.

I did nothing but give him a mini glare.

"Woah!," he lifted both his hands in mock surrender, "Put those daggers away, you could poke and eye out with those things," he said backing away slowly but not loosing his smirk.

"Only if it's your eye," I remarked only half kidding. Then I smiled, I was sort of glad we were getting back to our old ways.

"Now Cece isn't that adorable? Sibling rivalry in my house." came the voice of none other then my father.

My eyes immediately snapped to where he was standing. In a few strides I was engulfed in a hug by Cece.

"Oh, it's good to have you here, finally! This house needs more estrogen!" she cheered. All I could do was smile shyly at her.

"Oh, Bullfrog isn't she just adorable?" she said.

My dad walked up to me, "It's good to have you kid, make yourself at home." he said.

So, as I said before the reunion wasn't anything to special. There was no over joyous tears, except maybe Cece minus the tears, or a heart to heart with my dad or hugs on my dad's part.

In a way I still held resentment towards him after he left. But I wasn't one to disrespect, so when he offered me a handshake I accepted. That was the most affection he was getting from me.

There was a knock on my door, I lifted my head to look who was there only to set it back, it was Eli.

"Yeah?" I said, reverting my eyes off the ceiling, which had a poster of Clark gable on it.

He came in and I felt weight on my bed so I sat up. He looked up at the ceiling and smiled,

"That's cool, who is that guy?"

"Just a dead actor who I happen to be in love with," I said nonchalantly.

He raised his eyebrow, "I bet, anyway you ready for school tomorrow?"

I groaned a bit, "It's Monday already?" I threw my head back and sighed.

"Don't worry, it's not," he hesitated, "that bad," he finished.

"Your hesitation makes me more confident, thank you." I rolled my eyes.

"It's different, that's for sure, but you'll be fine, at least you'll know one person." he patted my leg in a comforting gesture.

"I hope so."
