A/N – I know this chapter took forever don't hate me please J Anyways this is a really short chapter but I have to get some feed back from yall so there will be some questions at the bottom of this chapter.

ENJOY :)

As Gwyneth's pale cobalt eyes peeked from under her droopy eyelids the small teen let out a yawn and proceeded to blink a few dozen times trying to make her eyes adjust to the lighting. At first she almost was almost excited about the day to come. Before she realized she wasn't at her sister's house, she was at a hospital awaiting news on her parents' condition. Reading herself for the worst and praying for the best like she always had.

Yup that's the holiday mood.

A look around would show that her sea of red hair and small head was resting in Braxton's lap. The boys arms draped across Gwyn's stomach and his other holding tight to the girls elbow and his other placed in the girls resting on his knee.. His soft almost baby like face drooped on the chair next to him in a seemingly uncomfortable position, Gwyn jerk up hoping not didn't wake him, he moaned something before curling up on his side where Gwyneth was previously laying. Gwyn let out a sigh of relief he wasn't up good. She fingered Braxton's oversized sweat jacket with the Lemonade Mouth symbol on the front draped around her shoulders.

In the chairs next to him laid Grace head caressed in Tom's lap and using his jacket as a blanket. Tom didn't end up going home for the holidays both of his parents where on different sides of the country because of movie deals but when he heard about his friend's parents he flew to New Jersey knowing he should be there. Next to Grace's feet sat Ebony who had her head resting on Nathaniel's shoulder her husband's jacket he wore under his snow coat draped around her shoulders. And Nate who had his head resting on Ebony's and sky who was caressed in-between the two of them Joel's jacket covering her small form.

Trevin was on the other side of the room snoring as his head was draped over the back of the chair. Carrington however had her head rested in the nook of his arm and seamed very comfortable in Trevin's jacket. Jayln and Kayln took the floor both facing different ways their hands lightly touching using Nathaniel's snow as a blanket. Leave it to the twins hey. Carson sprawled cowardly in a sitting position across two of the chairs in the middle of the room closet to the door. Mari slept with her head on Carson's lap his jacket providing a blanket and her feet behind in front of Joel's head. Joel using Mari's knees as a pillow.

Gwyn took off Braxton's jacket and draped it over the boy. Despite her best judgment she was still mad at him, even in the face of tragedy; she just could not bring herself to forgive him for what he did. And the worst part in her mind is he hasn't even talked to her since. They mean we were supposed to be best friends at the least, they were supposed to tell each other everything. They were supposed to be each other's sole confident, well along with Grace. But no he ahead and liked the most slimy person in the school and had yet to dig up the decency to tell his so called best friend.

"Morning Gywnie," A voice said and Gwyn turned to be met with Nathaniel's light green eyes.

"Oh Nate, I didn't mean to wake you." Gwyn sighed.

"You didn't I have been up for a while not able to sleep to worried. You okay?" He asked slowly getting up and lowering Ebony down to a laying position Sky tucked safely under her arm. He then made sure both of them where covered with the jacket before walking and taking Gwyn's fore arm in his hand. At contact tears began to spill from Gwyneth's eyes. She was not okay, not the slightest. Nathaniel took her into his arms and allowed her to cry he had many things he could say to wipe away her pain but none of it would replace the reassuring hand the slowly circled Gwyn's back.

Sure Gwyn would act strong like she always did around the others to compensate for the fact in most other ways she was weaker and to show she was like them even though she wasn't. But in the arms of her brother in law she allowed herself to break because she knew that it was safe.

Questions.

1. Any ideas on the Brax and Gwyn Talk?

2. Any other kids you all want to get to know beter?

3. Do you all want to have Ray in this story?

4. I am adding Scott in the story so I would like to know if you all want Carrington to be glad or sad to see her dad.
