Hey guys! Back again :P Now, I got quite a good response to this story overnight so I'm gonna write and finish this as fast as I can. Hope everyone enjoys this chapter! :P
O gosh! Alexa's room is even worse than Chloe's! You can't even see the floor! Well..Better get started, I guess.
3 hours later.

Phew! Got that done! I look at the clock on her wall and see that it's 1.00pm. 1.00PM! I only have an hour before Miranda gets home and then two before the girls get home! How am I gonna clean Miranda's room, clean the garage and do the gardens all in one hour! If her room is as bad as the others, there is no way I will get that done in time! Better get into rush mode. I walk into Miranda's room and luckily, there's hardly any mess to clean up! There's only a couple of items on clothing on the floor and the bed was unmade. Easy peasy. I pick up her dirty colthes and make the bed all in 2 minutes. I walk down the the laundry and put the washing machine on with all of their clothes in it. Ok, That's done. Now, off the the garage. I walk into it using the house entrance and see that all I have to do sweep up some cobwebs, pick up the firewood and clean the floors. So I put my headphones in, turn the volume up and get to work. The music will get me motivated to move faster.
So 30 minutes later, I finish sweeping up my last cobweb and head outside to start working on the gardens. So I have to pluck out a few weeds, re-plant a few plants and get to work on the vegetable garden. Easy enough. And I have...20 minutes to do it. Hmm.. might be pushing it for time. Oh well..Better now than never. I sit down on the grass and start plucking out the weeds. Jeez! These weeds are bloody hard to pull out! So 20 minutes later, I am still sitting on the ground, plucking out weeds when I see a shadow come over me. I look up and see Miranda staring down at me.
"What are you doing out here! You should of finished this by now!"
Hello to you too.
"I'm sorry but the girls rooms took longer than I expected."
"Don't go blaming your laziness on them!"
"But seriously, they had.."
"I don't want to hear your excuses, Justin! Now hurry up and finish these gardens. I have guests coming over this evening and you haven't even started dinner yet."
"But, I didn't know that you have.."
"Oh god, shut up Justin! I don't approve of all of this back chatting to me and these pathetic excuses! Now hurry up and finish these gardens! I want a roast chicken for us so you better get started soon."
"Yes, stepmother. I'll get to it right away."
"You better." And she walks back inside.
Fuck! Will she ever just leave me alone! I can't be bothered to make a fricking roast chicken! Oh well..It has to be done...Better finish these gardens soon.

30 minutes later...
.
"Ok. Miranda. I have done the gardens. Now what time would you want dinner to be served?"
"7 o'clock"
"Ok."
And immediately I start preparing the chicken. Want to get this done as soon as possible.
.

40 minutes later.
.
*crash!*
" Mommy! I'm home!" I hear Alexa screaming as she crashes open the front door."Where are you!"
"In the kitchen, hun."
And immediately she runs into the kitchen.
"Did you get that CD for me, mom?"
"Oh no! I must have forgotten! Justin, go the store and fetch that CD for Alexa."
"Why can't she go and get it! I have to stay here and finish making YOUR dinner remember?"
"You take that back! If my Alexa wants something, she shall get it. Now hurry up and get it for her."
"But I'm never going to get dinner done in time for your guests if I go to the record store now. And I'm sure that you don't want dinner to be late for your guests...Imagine what that would do for your reputation."
"For once, he's right, Alexa. I couldn't imagine what would happen to me if I made my colleagues unhappy. Not good.. I'm sorry Alexa but can it wait for tomorrow?"
"You are so selfish, mother! You only think about yourself!" and she storms up the stairs and we hear her door slam.
"Oh, I hate to see her like this. She could be cooped up in that room for days now. You remember what happened last time... Justin, please go to the store and get that CD for her. I can't stand to see her like this. I will take over the chicken for you."
"Ok..."
So I grab my keys, run out the front door, get into the car and drive to the store. I can't believe I am driving 10 minutes out of town just to buy a flipping Taylor Swift CD...
I arrive to the store, run in and grab the CD, (Which has its own stand by the way. Egh. Doesn't bloody deserve it.) buy it, and drive back home. I walk through the front door and immediately, I am being yelled at.
"Did you get it! Please tell me you got it!" Miranda yells at me
"Yes, yes it's right here." And I give her the CD.
"ALEXA! Please come down here! I have a gift for you!"
We see her come out from her room, very sulkily, and she walks down the stairs slowly.
"What is it, mother?"
"I went out and brought the CD for you, sweetie."
WHAT! I went out and brought the flipping CD for her!
"Oh, Thank you mother!" And she gives her a hug. While she is hugging her, she sees me standing in the corner.
"What is he doing here, mother?"
"What are you doing here, Justin! You should be preparing dinner! They will be arriving soon."
GRRRRR!
I storm off to the kitchen and see that she hasn't done anything with the chicken! It's exactly the same as it was when I left. There is no way I'm gonna get this chicken done.
Then Miranda pops her head in the door to say something to me.
"Justin, My guests are coming at 6 now." And she pops back out.
(Jacob point of view)
"But Dad! I don't wanna go to some stupid school ball!"
"You have to give it a go, Jacob. You're never gonna met a girl if you stay cooped up in the library all day at school and in your room all night."
"I like doing that, Dad. I don't wanna meet a girl! And I don't wanna go to the ball! You'll know I'll hate it."
"You'll never know, Jacob, unless you try it. Besides, I promised Jim(the school principal) that you would go..."
"Now why would you go and do a stupid thing like that?"
"Because he wants and I want you to meet someone! This might be your only chance to meet someone if you choose to be a hermit for the rest of your life."
"Ok! Ok! I'll go! Just please get off my back about it!"
"Thank you, Jacob. Now I know you will have a good time. Now..we better decide what you should wear.."
So.. Did you guys like this chapter? Don't worry..It's progressing along..Anyways, I hope you like this story! I am having tremendous fun writing this :P I can't wait to get to some certain scenes :P Take care everybody..and God Bless.
