Rats with Wizards
Hello everyone i am back with a brand new chapter! Enjoy!
Apologize for any grammar mistake or confusion.
Morning soon came. Alex woke up and looked around her room. She got out of bed and shut the curtains for it being too bright. She walked over to her mirror to find her hair a complete mess. She exited her room and walked down the hall to the bathroom. Once in she undressed and got in the shower. After her shower she wrapped herself in a towel and headed back to her room. She shut her door and grabbed her wand. She waved her wand in the air while saying a spell. Seconds later she was in her usual clothes, blue jeans with a pink top and a light sweater. She walked over to her mirror to see check her hair. She messed with it until it was perfect to her. She exited her room and made her way down the stairs into the living and kitchen. She sees her mom in the kitchen
"Hey mom" Alex said
"Morning sweetie"
"What's for breakfast?"
"Well your father wanted me to make lasagna for breakfast. So I stuck with pancakes"
"Are they chocolate chip?"
"No blue berry"
"Well there goes my morning"
"I thought you liked blue berries"
"No Justin does"
"Well it's a good thing I made some special pancakes for you" Theresa grabs a plate full of chocolate chip pancakes from the microwave and hands it to Alex
"Yes" Alex said
"You should know me better sweetie. I know you love chocolate chip. Justin and your dad love blue berries and Max love well… ketchup"
"Not listening, eating" Alex said eating a piece
"At least we know your, your fathers kid. You two eat the same" Alex looks around the room noticing something missing
"Where's the boy Chase"
"I told him to go take a shower"
"So what's the plan for today? How are we going to help him?"
"I'm going to post some pictures in the substation then on the streets and see if anyone calls"
"What if no one does?"
"We'll call the police and they take him to child services"
"Don't do that"
"Well what should we do Alex"
"If no one calls for him then why can't he live here?"
"We know nothing about this boy. For all we know he could be a criminal from another state"
"Think about it. He lost his memory so it's basically a fresh start"
"I will discuss it with your father okay 'if' no one calls"
"Yeah"
"Now hurry up. Your father and brothers are working and they need your help"
"Why were never busy"
"Your father put a two for one special and people are coming in left and right. He needs your help for waitress duty"
"Why can't Justin do it? All the guys and girls are always checking him out"
"Just go"
"Fine" Alex grabs a pancake and makes her way downstairs. Theresa finishes with the pancakes and places them in the microwave. She sits down and drinks a cup of tea before going down and helping her family.
"Excuse me" she turns around and sees Chase standing at the stairs
"Yes" she said nicely
"I would just like to say thank you for letting me use your bathroom"
"No problem honey" Theresa gets up from the couch and walks back into the kitchen "Are you hungry Chase" Theresa asked
"Yes ma'am" Chase goes over and sits at the table. Theresa serves him a couple of pancakes and a glass of milk
"How'd you sleep" Theresa asked
"I slept fine, thank you for asking" Theresa took the chair next to him
"Do you remember anything?"
"Sorry but I still only remember my name"
"Okay" Theresa gets up and heads back to the kitchen
"Hey Theresa" Chase said
"Yes"
"I overheard your conversation with your daughter... I understand if you want to take me to child services if no one claims me"
"Chase I would let you live here and become part of the family but I know nothing about you"
"If it helps I know nothing about me either. Just my name" Theresa soon heard a whimper knowing this isn't a trick for the boy to rob her. She knew this boy lost his memory, she had to help him
"Listen honey" Chase looks at her "I'll talk to my husband. If he says it's okay, then well let you stay if no one has called for you in a week"
"Would you really do that for me?"
"Yes I would"
"Thank you"
"Your welcome, now eat your breakfast" minutes later Harper came up the stairs
"I need a drink of water" she goes over and grabs a glass
"How bad is it" Theresa asked
"There are a lot of people and they just keep coming in" Theresa looked at Chase who's eating in peace
"Harper can you do me a favor"
"Yeah sure"
"Tell Max and Justin to come up here please"
"Alright" Harper puts the glass in the sink then heads downstairs. Minutes later Max and Justin come up and approached there mother
"What do you want mom" Justin asked
"I'll make a deal with two okay"
"Sure" they both said
"I'll cover both of your's shifts if you stay up here and keep Chase company"
"Sure" they both said giving their mother there aprons. She grabbed the aprons and went downstairs. Justin and Max stood there watching Chase eat in peace
"Now what" Max asked
"One of us goes over there and makes conversation"
"Who gets to go?"
"Rock, paper, scissors"
"You're on" they put their hands out
"Rock, paper, scissors" they both said. Justin puts paper and Max puts rock
"Looks like you go" Max walked over and sat in the chair next to Chase. Chase and Max sat there in silence for a minute. Both scared to talk
"So Chase how was your sleep" Max said trying to start a conversation
"It was fine" they were silent again. Max tried to think of something to say but how do you start a conversation with someone who has no memory.
Meanwhile down in the substation. Alex was at the cash register taking orders while Jerry was in the back making the sandwiches. Theresa and Harper were waitressing.
"Dad we need a number four" Alex shouted
"On it" he shouted back.
"Harper" Harper looks over and sees Theresa with some flyers
"Yes Mrs. Russo"
"Can you go hang these just outside the sub shop" she hands Harper the flyers. Harper looks and sees a picture of Chase and the number of the Russo's at the bottom
"Yeah I'll be back" Harper leaves the sub shop. Theresa made her way to the back to find Jerry making the sandwiches
"Honey"
"Yes Theresa"
"I need to talk to you"
"Can we do that later; I'm a little backed on orders"'
"The people can wait, I need to talk to you about Chase" Alex stopped helping the customer to ease drop on her parents
"Um excuse me" Alex motioned the customer to wait
"What do you want to talk about" Jerry asked
"I was thinking if someone doesn't call for Chase maybe we can just"
"Adopt him. We know nothing about the boy, for all we know he could be a criminal from another state"
"I know but I just don't think it would be right to send him to child services"
"Theresa"
"Please Jerry, were all he has if you think about it"
"Theresa"
"He could work for you. You always said you needed an extra hand"
"That is true"
"Please honey, he seems scared" Jerry sighed deeply
"If no one claims in one week then he can live here okay"
"Thank you" she kisses him on the cheek. She then leaves and helps the customers
"Yes" Alex said in excitement. After her shift was over she headed upstairs to find Max and Chase talking at the table still. She went over to Justin who was watching TV "Hey Justin"
"What" Justin
"I just overheard mom and dad. They said if no one calls for Chase in a week he's going to be living with us"
"Really"
"Yeah so just a heads up"
"Okay" Alex went to the stairs and looked at Chase and Max talking. She smiled at Chase knowing at least he has some kind of family
Sorry for the bad ending. I hoped you enjoyed it. Also an update was added to my other story 'Chase's Life 2' so you can go check that out. Please review and see you next time.!
