Kane walked in my room and turned my bright light on today at 2:00 AM! So here I am,at 7:00,in the living room with Ryan and Kane.After last night,I felt like never getting out of bed,but that's screwed up now!But,I mean,come on!He's only 9 years old.He is just a kid.We flipped through the channels on the TV,but,found nothing interesting."I'm hungry."I said as I got up and went to the kitchen.
"Me too!"Kane said,being his usual hyper self.
"Ugh!There is never anything good to eat here!"I said."I'm going out to eat.Ya' guys wanna come?"
"Sure."Ryan said.He got off the couch and grabbed his phone.
"Uh...duh!"Kane said.I wrote my mom a quick note and got in the car.
"Where are we going?"I asked.Everyone shrgged,so,I went to everyones favorite.McDonalds.I pulled into the parking lot and opened my door.The boys got out and followed me inside.Hopefully,we saw no one we knew because we were all still in our pajamas."Okay,Kane.It's up to you."I said and set Kane on the counter."Eat in or take out."Kane pretended to think reeeeally hard.
"IN!"he said.I nodded my head and waited in line to order.
"Ry?"Kane said while I ordered."Can I go play?"
"Uh,yeah,sure.I guess there is no problem with that."Ryan replied.Kane ran off just as I was filling our drinks.
"Where is Kane?"I said,very worried.
"Relax,Lils.I told him he could go play for a little while.I'm sure he's,like,with friends or something."Ryan told me.
"He better be!"I said.I handed Ryan his food and set the rest on the table.I decided to eat and let Kane play.That was a huuuuuge mistake.I finished my food and went to go get Kane.
I slowly made my way to the play area."Kane!Come eat!"I yelled and cupped my hands over my mouth."Kane!"There was nobody on the playset."KANE!"I still couldn't find him.
"RYAN!"I screamed.I couldn't even move,due to the shock.Ryan rushed over to me.
"What?What's the matter."Ryan asked me.
"I-I-I-I can't find Kane!"I managed to say.
"What?Oh my GOD!"Ryan yelled and began searching.We checked the bathrooms,under tables-everywhere.I had grown close to Shecklers' when Mom married his dad.Now,we all live with my Mom,but,not with their Dad.I know.It's all so confusing!Me and Ryan found each other.We were both on the verge of tears.Just then I heard a little voice yell,'boo!'Someone grabbed the back of my legs.I whipped around to see Kane there just smiling away.I grabbed him and started crying hysterically.Ryan did the same.
I got in the car and drove down the Georgia roads.(A/N they all live in Georgia now,I know its all confusing,just bare with me!) I got out of the car and went into the house.Of course first thing Kane did was tell Mom about the little "scene".I got yelled at,but,Kane and Ryan just sat back,smirking."Why do I always get blamed?I'm not the only one that screwed up!Ryan did.Kane did.Shane does.But,you only yell at me!I'm sick and tired of this!It's all just crap!Not once have you even said one slightly rude thing to them!They aren't perfect,ya' know!Nowhere near perfect!"I yelled and ran upstairs.
"Lily!"Mom yelled.My responce was a slamming door.Kane cam running after me,followed by Ryan.I'm sure Shane's gonna come any time now.They all rushed into my room without even knocking.At this point,I didn't care.I flopped,face first,on my bed.
"Lily,I'm sorry.I'm just a stupid ugly kid!"Kane put himself down.I looked up at Kane.Tears were running down his face.
"No,you're not!Stop saying that about yourself,sweetie!You're the best kid I know!"I said."everyone messes up sometimes.That doesn't mean I don't love you.I do and I always will."
"But,"Kane started to say."when you guys fight like that,I-I get scared.And sometimes,it's like we're not a family anymore."
"Don't ever say that.We are always a family.Not a blood relation,but,a family."I said,hugging Kane.Ryan was still so silent.I guess he didn't want to ruin our conversation.I flipped my darkish blonde hair out of my eyes and continued."Families will fight and we won't always be perfect.No family ever is.But,that doesn't mean we don't love each other.We do and we always will.I mean,we will fight and we will get mad.But what all matters,"I said,fighting the lump in my throut."is what happens in the end.Kane smiled his cute litlle smile and hugged my waist.I was so much taller than him and he was so much shorter than me that he only came up to right above my waist.I walked over to Ryan."That goes for you to!"I said and hugged him.I heard a baby laughing downstairs.That meant Trenton was back!He went to visit family for a while with our aunt.
"Li!"Trenton said and ran up to me
"Hey!What's up,goober?"I said.
"I had fun!"Trenton said as he ran off.I turned to Tony,who had just got here.Now that our family reunion was over,I could be alone with Tony.I walked up to him and gave him a quick peck.He smiled at me and kissed me again.He took me over to our garage.Not in it,just leaning against it.He pinned me against the wall and kissed me.When he stopped,I saw Ryan watching us through the window.He realized I saw him and started messing with random things,acting like he had no idea we were there.Same old ryan.Always looking out for his little sister.He peeked at me through the corner of his eye.I smiled at him and walked across the yard with Tony hand in hand.
"I'm glad I found you.."he said.
"Yeah.What would I do without you?"I said.He smiled at me and then kissed me again.
"Well,I guess I better go."Tony said.
"Kay.I love you."I said.
"I love you,too."Tony said.I gave him a peck on the lips and let him go.
"Bye!"I said as his car drove off.I walked back into the house.It was a pretty boring day.Everyone was either gone,sleeping or online.I went into into the living room and turned on the TV.I flipped through the channels.I heard the door bell ring,so I got up and went to the door.
"Hey,Lily!"Miley said when I opened the door.
"Hi!"I said,hugging Miley.I haven't seen her in sooooo long."What's up?"
"Nothing really.Just been hanging at the lake with Oliver."Miley said as she walked into my house.I nodded and lead her onto the couch.Ryan came down the stairs.
"Hey,Miley."Ryan said,walking passed us.
"Hey."Miley replied."What do ya' say we go to the lake,Lils?"
"Sure!"I said as I slipped on my flip-flops.We walked down to the beach,talking about random things.We approached the lake and sat on a nearby bench.
"So,how are things with Taylor?"Miley asked me.Crappy,hopefully.
"Please don't mention that little hoe around me."I said.Miley laughed as I joined in.We saw someone sitting against the tree.They had probably been there for awhile,but we just now noticed them."Hey,isn't that Rico?"
"Yeah! It is!"Miley said and got up the talk to him.
"Rico."I said,noticing he was crying."What's the matter?"Rico ignored me and just burried his face in his knees.The poor little 13 year old boy looked at me.
"My mom died."Rico muttered.We looked at each other in shock.Miley knelt down to him.She put her hand on his shoulder.
"Oh my God.I'm so sorry."is all she could say.All of a sudden,I felt bad for always being sorta mean to him.He had always wished we would be his friends.He wished anyone would be his friend.Everyone thought he was some sort of greedy little monster.He wasn't.He was actually really nice.If only people could realize that.I couldn't say anything.I had no idea what to say.
"I'm sorry."I said as he stood up and wiped his eyes.I gave him a hug and surprisingly,he didn't pull away.The short teenager hugged me.He only came up to my chest because he was so short.I let go of him and started to walk away.Miley had left so I guess I should leave,too.Rico stopped me.
"Lily!"he said.I turned around.
"Yeah?"I asked.
"Never mind."he said.I gave him a weird look as he turned away.I walked home to see Miley asleep on our porch.It looked like she had been there awhile.
"Lily!"Miley said when she heard me come on the porch."Where were you?I was supposed to stay the weekend at your house!Remember?No one was home."
"Oh,yeah!I'm so sorry!"I said.Miley rolled her eyes at me and we went inside."Ya wanna go to the mall?"
"And I quote Kane,'uh,duh!'"Miley said.I laughed and grabbed my phone and my purse.We walked to the mall,my shoes banging against the paved sidewalk.The walk there was strangely silent.We had to walk there because Shane had my car.We approached the big mall and walked in.
"I gotta get some lip gloss!"I said.
"I know.Me too!"Miley said,leading me to the make-up store.I looked around for my favorite flavor,which was strawberry.I couldn't find it!I tapped the workers shoulder,trying to get her attention.
"Excuse me,miss."I said politely."Where do you keep strawberry flavored lip gloss.I can't seem to find it!"
"Oh,right over here."the nice woman said,leading me to a rack.
"Thank you."I said.She smiled at me and nodded her head.I looked through the different kinds while Miley looked for new things for Hannah Montana.I spotted my favorite one and took it off the rack."Yes!"I realized the price was only 50 cents,so,I got one of each,which added up to be about 35 freaking lip glosses!I put it all on the counter and payed for it.The nice lady put it all in a bag and gave it to me.
"Have a nice day!"she said,smiling.I walked out of the store with Miley at my heels.
"Dang,Lily!How much did you get?"Miley exclaimed.I looked at her inoccently.
"Only 35."I said and laughed."Want one?"
"Sure!"Miley said.I took out her favorite flavor.Grape!She lined her lips with it.
"I've never had grape."I said.
"Really?"Miley said.Without knowing what she was doing,Miley kissed Lily.On the lips.I looked at her wide-eyed."Sorry."I kind of liked it.Whoa!What am I thinking?I can't be in love with a girl!I am a girl!Plus,I'm dating Tony!I said nothing and rushed home.I had to talk to someone!
Oooh!Is Lily gonna be a lesbian?Or is the grape flavor getting to her?Read on and find out!
Love 'n Peace,
Shelby
