Thank you so much ameko200. It's nice to have some people that read and have the guts to leave a review. Anyways, here's the second chapter.

Simon Grace walked up the front porch steps and heard voices just beyond the doorway. Knowing the door was unlocked, Simon continued to stand in front of the door, thinking. He wondered if things had changed while he had been gone. Probably have. He thought and continued to stare at the ram's head door knocker. Pulling his duffel bag onto his shoulder, he opened the door and entered.

Mrs. Grace was standing at the oven in the kitchen, telling Mallory and Jared, who were sitting at the table, about her first boyfriend. Mallory and Jared were laughing and smiling at the things that Simon's mother was saying. Simon set his coat and duffel bag by the front steps and entered the kitchen. Mrs. Grace stopped talking and looked at Simon smiling while Mallory looked at him nervously and Jared tentatively looked at the top of the table.

"Hey, Simon. Did Brennan's mom drop you off?" Mrs. Grace asked.

"Yeah."Simon answered quietly.

"How was camp, hon?" Mrs. Grace asked.

"Fine."

"Hey...Simon."Mallory muttered to him.

"Yeah. H-Hi." Jared said, still looking down at the table top.

"Is dinner almost done?" Simon asked his mother, pretending to be oblivious to the odd behavior of his siblings.

"Yeah, hon. Go ahead and sit down. Jared, set the table." Mrs. Grace ordered her son. As Jared grabbed the silverware from the drawer, his mother patted his back, and Simon sat down, looking at Mallory suspiciously.

Jared set the table and sat across from his sister, next to his mother, and Mrs. Grace set the table. Dinner was mostly quiet, other than Mrs. Grace questioning Simon about his time at camp. Jared and Mallory didn't talk much, just like they hadn't a few nights prior, except to occasionly mutter yes and/or no. Mallory seemed to be smirking on the inside, and Jared seemed to be planning something for later. Simone wondered what it was that was wrong with his two siblings as he filled his mother in on his abscenses.

When dinner finished, Simon and Mallory cleared, and Jared washed dishes with his mother while the other two went upstairs. Mallory still didn't say anything to Simon, and went straight to her room. Simon went straight to his and Jared's room, seeing as he had his duffel bag. Setting it down on the floor, he silently got ready for bed. He laid down underneath the covers with a flashlight, and awaited his brother to come into the room. Jared came into their room a few minutes later, and silently got dressed for bed. He checked that Simon was asleep, who was very good at faking sleep, and left the room, closing the door behind himself.

Simon stood and slowly walked down the hall, just in time to see Mallory's door closing. He snuck over to it, making sure, that his mother was in bed. Putting his ear to the door, he listened to his brother and sister's voices just beyond the rectangle of wood.

"I told you I was sorry Mallory. I just don't know how he'll take it. I was nervous. 'Sides, you didn't do much better." Jared was saying.

"Yeah, but Mom took it okay. I'm sure Simon will too."Mallory responded.

"But Simon's not Mom. No offense, but he's more logical and less keen to break rules."Jared said.

"We're gonna have to tell him some time. I'd rather us tell him than him figure it out by himself." Mallory pointed out.

"Yeah. But, soon, okay? I don't want to have to sneak around."said Jared. Then, they were quiet. Peeking under the door, Jared could make out the fact that both were sitting on Mallory's bed, but they were moving. Their feet were turned towards eachother's and their was a weird sucking noise, as well as a grown. He saw Jared's hand move to Mallory's back.

"I need to go to bed, or he'll get suspicious." Jared said. Their was one more sucking noise and then footsteps. Simon quickly used the flashlight that he had taken with him to find his way back to their room. He put the flashlight underneath his bed and covered himself up, pretending, once more, to be asleep.

Sorry, this was a short one. Most of it was from Simon's POV, but whatever. Please, if you read, LEAVE A REVIEW!! I get so sick of people reading my stories and not leaving reviews. But only send reviews if you liked the story. I don't like mean reviews, as I had gotten on one of my other fanfictions, which I, not surprisingly, ended up deleting. Hmm...I wonder why. ANYWAYS! Tell me if I should post another chapter.
