Ch. 2

-Tyler's POV-

Today was the day that I see what my folks were making a big deal over. I secretly prayed it wasn't another dog, because we had plenty between the three of us. I looked down at the Dalmatian that stood beside me. Opening up the back door, Kino hopped in without a problem. It was maybe half an hour away from my parents, which was nice for when I went to Pax or Vidcon.

I pulled up into the driveway, and I saw my dad come outside. He looked surprised at me pulling up. I stopped and rolled the window down when he walked up to the car. "I thought I was meeting you at your house?" He asked.

"Oh, shit you're right. I totally forgot, is it okay if I leave Kino here with mom?" I asked him as I put my car in park. He looked at the house and then at me before nodding, and if that didn't scream suspicion I don't know what would. I got out and walked Kino inside the house. Kino ran straight upstairs, which he never did unless one of the other animals ran up there.

Mom was making lunch, she looked up when I gave her a side hug. "Hi honey. Before you and your dad go to the car show we have something to show you."

"Okay, can we quit the waiting game? Whatever it is you are wanting to show me, can you just show me?" I asked with agitation.

My mom sighed in defeat and nodded in agreement with me. She walked passed me and headed upstairs. Kino came running into the kitchen with a crumpled up paper in his mouth. "Whatcha ya got boy?" I asked him as I took it from him; Kino wagged his tail happily as I opened it up. On the paper was a very detailed drawing of a flower.

"Tyler, we'd like to introduce you to Cally." Mom and dad had a hand on the shoulders of a brown haired girl. She stood there wearing a knee length pink floral dress, around her neck was a heart shaped locket. "We adopted her, she's your new sister."

I stood there and gawked, it took about five seconds before what mom had said to register. "Are you serious! How could you guys adopt a kid without talking to me about it!?"

"Tyler calm down please, let us explain." Dad tried to encourage with a gesture of the table.

We all sat around the table, I sat opposite of mom and the girl. "Cally was the daughter of a friend of ours. Her parents died about six years ago, her only living relative wasn't able to afford taking care of both of them. And we decided to adopt her."

"Your mother and I know we should've consulted with you, but we didn't want her to end up in a bad place." Dad added as he looked between Cally and I.

Cally looked up at me with big brown eyes. "Can I call you brother?"

I rested my forehead on a closed fist. "I'm gonna go home, I need to think about stuff. Kino come on." Slowly I stood and we left them at the table.

As I closed the door, one of the upstairs doors slammed shut. Causing my parents' dogs to freak out. We hopped in the car and headed straight home. As soon as I got home, I booted up my computer and Skype called everyone that was online. It looked like it was Evan, Luke, Craig, Delirious, Brian, and Nogla.

"A child! They adopted a fucking child!" Were the first things to come out of my mouth.

"Woah dude, totally not what I expected. How'd that go?" Brian asked me.

I shook my head with a deep frown, "I basically said I didn't want anything to do with her and left."

Everyone all groaned as if face palming themselves. "What's wrong with having a sibling? Maybe she's a cool kid, can't you give her a chance?" Evan asked before taking a bite out of something.

"They didn't ask me at all how I would feel. They only took her in because they knew her parents before they died. And the kids only relative couldn't afford to feed both of them." I informed them and crossed my arms.

"Dude, quit being so damn selfish. You are so loyal and caring towards us, even before we became good friends. Why can't you give a kid a chance? Did she react badly towards you?" Luke asked, he seemed to take this situation to heart because he has his own kid.

"Well no, Cally asked if I could be her brother. And when I left she stormed upstairs and slammed a door." I looked down at my phone when I saw it go off. I missed twelve calls from my dad, and several texts from them. They were both really upset with me, but I was upset at the fact they would even keep adopting a child without my opinion.

"You know what you have to do." Delirious said as if read my thoughts.

I sighed heavily and tossed my head back, "I really fuckers up, didn't I?"

They all say in unison, "Yes!"

"I'll go back tomorrow. Right now I need to just stay away and cool off." I told them before leaving the call without saying goodbye.

Kino stood next to me, and was whining loudly. I tried taking outside he didn't want out, he wasn't hungry, he wasn't thirsty, and he didn't want to play. I gave up and just let him roam around the house freely. That was about the time that I saw his claws painted in green glitter. The only person that came to mind was Cally. With a heavy sigh, I fell in the middle of the floor and started petting him.

"You too huh? Fine tomorrow I'll go apologize." I assured him, which immediately perked him up.

-Cally's POV-

I hid under my new blankets and was silently crying. Tyler wasn't like he was in his videos. He didn't want anything to do with me, just like my uncle. The orphanage told me that he could afford feeding two people, but I heard the conversation between him and the Head Mistress. He didn't care about me, or where I ended up.

"Cally, sweet heart, Tyler isn't always like that. He was just shocked and upset, he'll come around you'll see." I heard mom's voice softly say as the bed sank beside me.

"But he didn't want anything to do with getting to know me." I sniffled under the covers.

A hand rubbed my back when I started to hiccup. "You probably won't see it, but Tyler is very sensitive. He just puts up the big attitude, because it's the default personality when he's upset or playing a game with his friends."

"Really?" I poked my head out from the covers. "Do you think that Tyler will bring Kino?"

She chuckled with a nod of her head, "I'll be sure to tell him." Her fingers gently ran through my tangled hair. "Are you hungry?"

I nodded after sitting up and kicked the covers off. My mom took my hand and led me downstairs. I smiled at the thought of having an actually family, though I wish I remembered more about my broth parents. We walked downstairs and started setting up the table; it was two in the afternoon, so it wasn't too long since Tyler left.

"How do you like your new room?" Dad asked me before handing me a bowl filled with macaroni and cheese.

I took a couple big spoons full of it before plopping it on the right side of my plate. "I love it. Back in Washington, I had to share a room with three girls. They were all older than me."

"Well you won't have to worry about have to share your room. Unless one of the dogs or cats decide you have to share." Mom said with a chuckle.

"I love animals." I told them with a big smile, "I hope that Tyler brings Kino, I like him. I've never had a big brother before."

Dad gave the back of my head a gentle pat. "Tyler will warm up to you soon. It just takes him a little longer to own up to it."

We ended up talking about me starting school sooner than we were going to have. I already had all my school stuff together, and I have enough clothes for school. In Washington the younger kids were all homeschooled until they were able to go into high school. Mom and dad decided that I'd start Wednesday, and I was super nervous to be going to an actual school with other kids. The school I was going to had the middle and grade school grades in one school. That made me even more nervous. After lunch was over, dad and I did dishes while mom did the laundry.

"How did you know my old parents? I thought they lived in Washington all their lives." I asked him as I stuck my hand in the soapy water.

"Your father and I grew up together, and I met your mom after my wife and I got married. Your mother was very sweet when she had you, she always got on your father's case for spoiling you." He chuckled at the memory.

I frowned and looked down sadly, "I don't remember much about them. All I have to remember what they look like, is my necklace. It has a picture of us when I was a baby."

"I know you miss them. Maybe when everything is all settled here, we could all go to Washington and visit your parents' graves." Dad suggested as he gave me a side hug. "You're really good at doing dishes. Tyler didn't know the difference from hand soap and dish soap until he was fifteen."

We both started laughing as we finished the dishes. After we finished cleaning the house, we went on a walk around the property. Dad brought out a green ATV and two black helmets; he put the smaller on one my head and tightened the strap. He lifted me on the back before climbing on in front. Instinctively I wrapped my arms around his stomach when he started the engine, and took off down the open field.

At first I closed my eyes, afraid of falling off, but then I opened them and started cheering in excitement as we jumped over the small stream. After about the third time around, I got the courage to stand up as dad drove up and over a hill that was just before the stream. We continued riding the ATV until mom came out and told us that it was dinnertime. The both of us were out there for hours for it to be dinner, but it felt like a couple hours. After dinner I cleaned up and headed for bed, thinking that maybe my new brother, could give me a chance. Maybe.

-Tyler's POV-

Next day came, and I looked at the uploading video that was on my monitor. This was going to take forever, so I decided to call up Lilli and see how she was doing.

"Hey Tyler." She said with a yawn.

"Oh did I wake you?" I felt bad, knowing she had an another job that required her to wake up early.

She chuckled, "Now don't get too soft Tyler. I was just finishing my latest costume while I was waiting for my video to work."

I laughed and stood up to stretch out my legs. "I know how you feel. YouTube is being really fucking slow today."

"Yeah. Oh guess what!" Lilli instantly got excited.

"I got something to tell you too, but what's got you all excited?" I heard my phone ping, pulling it away I saw a text from Lilli. I opened it and saw a small light gray pit bull puppy. After seeing it in put my phone back to my ear. "Wow Lil, when'd ya get him?"

"He's name is Nebula. I got him a couple weeks ago, and he is the cutest thing ever!" Lilli said with excitement. "I gotta go. Wait you said you had something to tell me."

"Oh yeah, my parents adopted a friend of theirs' kid. I guess her parents died and she has no family members willing to take her in." I said as I looked down at Kino, who was wrestling a toy football.

She went silent until a heavy sigh came through. "Wow, that must be pretty rough on her. And let me guess, you pulled a Tyler and said some regretful things."

"How'd ya know?" My voice cracked.

"I grew up with you, dumbass. You tended to say dumb things ninety percent of the time, but you always apologized for it. Tyler, you're a great guy and you'll be an amazing brother. But you gotta give the kid a chance." Lilli was always the one who saw the soft side of me, I occasionally let it out when the guys were upset but that was an extremely rare occasion.

"I know, but I wasn't even brought into the decision." I told her, still slightly hurt about it.

"Ty, it probably was a spur of the moment thing. Rich and Amy probably saw it as a moment to keep her from a possible bad family." Lilli suggested.

"But adopting a kid can't be a 'spur of the moment' thing. You have to think about for months and figure out if it'll work." I reminded her.

I could picture her nodding on her side of the conversation. "You're right, but it's done. Did you think that maybe she needs someone to look up to? Be a role model for her."

"Have you seen my videos? I'm the furthest thing of a role model." I joked.

We both started laughing, but it last for a short time before she answered. "Well yeah, but I still look up to from time to time. From my personal experience you're a pretty good role model."

"Well thanks, Lilli. Oh before I forget, do you want to play some GTA with me, Delirious, and Evan? I think a couple of the others are playing." I knew she wouldn't be up for it, because of her ex. He really messed Lilli up; she's really only been comfortable around me and her older brother. So when I saw her at Pax a couple years ago, talking to the others really surprised me.

"I don't know Tyler, I'll give it a try. When are you guys playing?" She actually accepted! Maybe she's finally getting over it. Maybe.

"Tonight, I'll send you a Skype request. It'll be recorded, so maybe you'll get some new subscribers. I saw your loot shop, love the Game of thrones reference." I said before going back into my room and looking at the upload process. "Jesus titties, it's only and fifty percent. Last time I checked it was at forty-two. And that was fifteen minutes ago!"

She started laughing as she started moving things around on her end. "My video's up already. Did you see that I have almost hundred thousand now?"

"Yeah, maybe we can drink to celebrate it." I suggested. "Hey, I gotta go. My mom is calling."

"Alright, talk to you later." Lilli said happily.

I hung up and answered mom's call. "Hey, I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I acted the other day. I was just upset that I wasn't even brought into the whole adopting Cally."

"I know, and we're sorry for not telling you. We want you two to get the chance to bond, so you're father and I are going to on a trip for a few weeks. And we'd like to watch Cally while we're gone. You don't need to worry about anything, she'll be going to school in the mornings." Mom once again threw a curve ball at me. In the dick, thanks mom. "And we know it's all of a sudden, but it's to get things prepared for Cally visiting her parents' graves. It'd mean a lot, and Cally wants to get to know you. She looked up to you when she watched your videos."

"Wait, wait she's seen my videos? How?" I was surprised that she knew about my YouTube career.

"In Washington, the older kids would watch them and she'd watch with them. Cally isn't a bad kid, Tyler. Can you please be the big brother she wants?"

I sighed, away from the phone, before answering. "I'll try, when is she coming over? And is she going to be riding the bus? Or do I need to pick her up? And when are you guys going on your trip?"

"Oh thank you, thank you Tyler. We'll be leaving in a week, just to make sure she's good with school. She'll be riding the bus to school, I'll give the school your address before we leave. And it would mean a lot if you could pick her up from school." Mom was getting extremely excited for this.

"Okay, I'll get the guest room cleaned up. I'll be coming over later tonight to apologize." I told her as I grabbed a duffel bag, and started throwing overnight clothes in it.

"Are you going to stay the night? I'll make your favorite dinner." Mom bribed, which caused me to laugh.

"Yes, I'll stay over." I zipped the bag up. "I'll also bring Kino."

"Okay, we'll see you in a bit then. Cally should be home in a bit by the time you get here. Love you." She was so set on making it work, that's just the type of woman she was. Mom always wanted our family to get along, especially when dad didn't think I was going to make it in the 'YouTube business'.

"Love you too." I said before hanging up.

I looked at the monitor one more time. It ready sixty-five percent. "Fuck you, YouTube. Upload faster." I needed an idea on how to make it up to Cally for being a complete douche to her.
