Visit from the Sister and Summer Plans
AN:This chapter is quite short and is really just a filler until I can think of what I want to do next. Not quite sure how to progress their relationship.
Beep, Beep, Beep
Groaning I turned and slammed my hand on the snooze button on my alarm. Once it was quite again, I snuggled back under my cover hoping to catch some more sleep.
Beep, Beep, Beep
The alarm sounded urgently what felt like seconds later.
"Newt! Time to get up, come on son." My dad's voice sounded through the door as he knocked.
"I'm up!" I shouted back as I turned the alarm off. Grumbling I got out of bed and walked into the hall heading for the bathroom. I turned on the shower to heat up the water while I used the facilities and brushed my teeth. Once I was finished, I climbed into the shower and let the water fall over me for a moment to wake up before getting washed.
Once I was washed, I got out and dried off slightly before pulling on a pair of grey joggers I had brought with me. Walking out of the bathroom I was attacked by a bright flash.
"What the…" I said in surprised.
"Hey lil' brother." My older sister Sonya said with a smile while holding my phone in her hand.
"Sonya? What are you doing here?" I asked giving her a hug.
"Well, my classes are done for the summer, so I took some time off work to come visit." She smiled
"That's grea.. wait did you just take a picture of me?" I asked
"Yup, you can send it to your lover boy" she said in a sing song voice.
"He's not … Urgh give me my phone. I have to get ready for school." I grumbled while holding my hand out. Sonya giggled but placed the phone in my hand. Sighing I went to my room and pulled the closet door open and took out a black MCR shirt with greet writing. Walking to the drawers I took out a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, socks, boxers and a green scarf. It wasn't cold enough for a scarf, but I always wear one. Once I was dressed, I grabbed my green converse and pulled them on. I quickly grabbed my phone as it beeped and smiled when I noticed it was a text from Thomas.
Tommy: Hey! You ready for the last day?
Newt: Morning, yeah just heading for breakfast. My sister came for a visit.
Tommy: Your sister? Didn't she move with you?
Newt: Daisy did but Sonya stayed in London. She has a husband there and goes to uni doing photography. She's also away to have her first baby. Do you want a ride to school?
Tommy: Nice! Congrats to the uncle-to-be, and yeah that would be great. Do you mind giving Chuck a lift too?
Newt: Sure, I'll pick you up soon. What's your address?
Tommy: 52 Wayward street, see you soon.
Slipping my phone in my pocket, I jogged down the stairs to breakfast.
"Morning son, you ready for your last day?" My dad asked
"Morning dad. Yeah, going to pick Tommy and his brother up after breakfast."
"D'aww going to get your lover boy, how sweet." Sonya teased and I felt my face heat up.
"He's not… Nope not going to play into it. Hello Alby, did you have a nice trip?" I asked my brother-in-law.
"Good to see ya Newt. Yeah it was calm and pleasant thank you. How are you settling in?" the tall man asked politely.
"It was hard at first but getting better and easier each day. Well gotta go. Bye everyone, see you tonight buttercup." I said dropping a kiss to Daisy's head as she waved.
"Bye son, behave and enjoy your day." My father said while reading the paper.
I pulled up outside Thomas' house and honked for them to come out. A few moments later both Tommy and Chuck were climbing into my jeep.
"You ready?" I asked Thomas as he climbed into the passenger seat.
"Yup, last day. Got any plans for the summer?" Tommy asked
"No, not really. My sister and her husband are visiting, not sure for how long. Might see if I can convince my parents to let me visit my friends in London for a week. You?"
"Just hanging out. We do bonfires and go camping. Its just us and mom and she work's a lot so we don't get to go away unless it's to visit family." Newt nodded to show he was listening as he pulled into the parking lot.
After school, I dropped Thomas and Chuck off with a promise to text later about making plans for the next day before heading home.
"Hey all, I'm home." I called as I walked through the door.
"Newtie! Look I got a medal" Daisy said as she ran out of the sitting room to show me her medal.
"Really? Well done sweetpea. I'm proud of you, where is everyone?" I asked her.
"Mum's making dinner, daddy and Sonya and Alby are in here watching T.V. C'mon we have summer plans to make, when do you want to do our movie night?" Daisy rattled off as she pulled me into the sitting room.
"Hey son, how was your last day?" Dad asked.
"Hey da, yeah it was good. Went by quickly, going to text Tommy later about some plans for over the summer." I told him
"Sounds good son…" dad went to continue but Daisy cut in.
"But what about our plans?" she huffed.
"Oh sugerpie, I promise we will still get to do all the things we had planned for the summer."
"Okay Newtie." And she went back to her toys.
Dinner was uneventful as the family sat together and re-connected.
Newt: hey what's the plans for tomorrow?
I texted Tommy later as we were all sitting in the sitting room playing board games.
Tommy: Hey! How was family dinner? And not much we were thinking of sitting in mine and playing some video games?
Newt: yeah sounds good. And dinner was calm, we're playing board games now. I'm going to head for a shower, talk later.
Tommy: cool, I'll see you tomorrow at 2pm.
Putting my phone down I headed up the stairs to shower and get ready for bed.
