Okay, I've decided to keep my story. I think I can make this work. I'll just have to use the family computer when I can, like old times.

Saying of the Day

"More like Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot!" from A Very Potter Musical (It's hilarious!)

On with the story

Bekka's POV

First period, blech. Second period, BLECH. Third period, BLLLLEEEECCCH! Need I go on? It's finally lunchtime and although Bruce might be there this is probably the best part of my day.

"Bekka, what's the real story behind the bruised lips?" Hannah asked, man I thought I cleaned this mess up?

"I told you, I got hit in the face with the ball," I laughed nervously.

"Yeah, but I've seen you get hit in the face with a ball before and it never bruised you like that before," Dylan said pointedly.

I reply, "It was probably thrown a little harder then." Dylan then shrunk back into his seat and surrendered, but Hannah needs a little more convincing.

"Then how come the ball bruised only your lips and not any other part of your face?" She asked, her eyes in slits, creepy. Then Dylan yelled, "AHA!" I just gave him the 'you're an idiot' look.

"I dunno, maybe my lips bruise the easiest," Hannah huffed and the conversation was over, but if know her it's only over for now.

"Come on, we better go or we'll be late for next period," Dylan said changing the subject.

With that the three of us set of to our next class in silence. I can't believe their so concerned for me. If I weren't so afraid of what Bruce might do to me I might tell them. Sadly, that isn't the case. We made to fourth period with a minute to spare.

"Okay class, today we're going to learn about…" and that's when I zone out. When I finally zone back in the class is over and everyone is gone but me.

"Do you have a question or something Ms. Cooper?" the teacher asks me, yeah right, what student would stay back in class to ask a question about something they don't care about.

"No sir," I left the room only to come face to face with an empty hallway and the meanest jerk alive.

"Hey, Bekka we didn't get to finish what we were doing the other day," Bruce said menacingly.

"Good, because I didn't even want to start," I retorted. Almost as soon as those words left my mouth I felt a hard smack to my right cheek. He just slapped me!

"You do not disrespect me like that little girl! Or the consequence won't be just a slap in the face," with that he walked off, I guess pissing him off made him forget what he was going to do to me. Thank goodness, because I can't begin to think of what this kid had in mind to do to me.

The rest of the day I just hid my face from everyone and waited for it to be over. Luckily Hannah and Dylan weren't able to question me, because as soon as the bell rang I was either off to my next class or in last period's case off to my ride home.

PARKING LOT

I was able to avoid any potential investigators so far, OH CRAP! It's Eli! Run Bekka, RUN! Unfortunately, my legs weren't listening to my brain and were stuck to the ground like glue.

"Hey, Bekka! I need to talk to you!" Yeah, well I don't want to talk to you right now, but my legs don't agree with me. When he finally made it to me he looked at my face in confusion.

"Why is there a giant red mark on your cheek?" Come on Bekka, think of something! Wll since this excuse seems to be working pretty well for me…

"Well, let's just say me and basketballs aren't the best of friends right now,"

"I can see that, they apparently don't like your lips either. That's a hell of a bruise," he said stroking my bad cheek, which made me wince. He pulled his hand away and I mentally winced, because although I was in pain I liked his hand being there.

"Listen, I have to go, I'll talk to you later. Promise?"

"Promise," and we went our separate ways, for now.

When I got in the car I just fed the same lie to my brothers. Not surprisingly, they believed me! We made it home peacefully.

Chad's POV

I swear, Sonny has not shut up about this camping trip. It's almost as bad, if not worse, as it was when we were teens. Don't get me wrong, I love the woman to death and would do anything for her, but right now I want to duck tape her mouth and lock her in a closet. Oh no, there she is, talking off someone else's ear off about the trip. Don't worry man; I'm coming to save you!

"Um, Sonny, I'm sure this man has somewhere to go. Plus you have a family to tend to so come lets go home," She resisted me the whole way, insisting that she must tell him one more thing. I didn't listen, eventually she gave in and we headed home.

LATER (At Home)

Still Chad's POV

I walk into my home to find my boys, but where's my little girl?

"Hey guys, where is your sister?" Beck nodded to her room and I left them with their mother. It's their turn to endure the suffering I had to all day.

Knock Knock

"Come in," Bekka said in a small voice, what's wrong?

"Hey, how was- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" my sudden outburst made her jump.

"Oh, yeah, in P.E. I got hit in the face with the ball, hard," that sounds like something that would happen to her.

"Oh thank God! I thought it was something really horrible,"

"So me getting hit the face ISN'T horrible, gee, I feel the love dad," she huffed.

"No, I mean- I don't wanna- I'm- I'M COMING SONNY!" I got out of that room as fast as possible, women when their angry, especially Cooper women, not good.

"I WAS JUST KIDDING! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MISSED THAT!" Bekka yelled down the hall at me. Oh good, she was kidding, but I'm not taking any chances. I make my way down stairs to be greeted with four half-asleep sons and an oblivious mother.

"Hey Sonny. What's for dinner?" I guess she forgot because she gasped and rushed to the kitchen to cook. I saved even more lives today, score two for Chad!

Bekka's POV

Phew! That was close! Actually it wasn't really my dad is just as bad as my brothers. The one I have to worry about is my mother.

Ding

Bekka

Eli

Hey :)

Hey baby ;)

Creepy much?

Well, I am a pervert, remember?

True.

So, what's up?

Nothing. Just bored

So I'm just what you use to pass time? That hurts, right here *points at heart*

Oh, man up you big baby! At least I chose to talk to you.

That's fine, for now.

What are you doing?

Talking to a pretty girl

Aww! Thanks :)

Oh! You thought I was talking about you? Haha, don't make me laugh.

Ugh! Jerk

I'm just kidding! Calm your panties down

What if I'm not wearing any?

He hesitated before answering, yeah, I kind of did go a little far, even for me.

Then I guess I better take my boxers off to make it even ;)

Woah! This conversation took a drastic turn! Get back on track.

Okay perv, that's enough

Hey, you started it this time. I guess that makes you a perv too. I've corrupted you! I'm so proud of myself!

Whatever, I have to go, talk to you later.

Bye

That was one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had. He made me blush! Darn him!

"Bekka! Dinner's ready," time to face the music.

AT DINNER

"BEKKA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?" déjà vu.

"Don't worry honey. She just got hit in the face with a basketball in P.E. Happens to a lot of people," Dad defended me, thanks dad. I could tell she didn't buy it though; she was staring at me through slits. That means we're going to have a talk later, yay me.

After dinner I went to my room cleverly avoiding my mother.

Knock Knock

Spoke to soon. I didn't even say enter when she barged in.

"You may have your father and your brothers fooled, but we both know you can't fool me as easily. What's the truth behinds the bruises and marks?" Think Bekka!

"I'm serious! Something did hit me in the face," two things actually, but both from the same person.

Mom must've seen the look on my face because she replied, "Fine, I guess you're right. You would tell me if something was wrong though, right?" she looked genuinely concerned as a mother should be. I nodded to her. She embraced me in the tightest hug I've ever had.

"I love you Mom,"

"I love you too,"

She left me so I could have a peaceful sleep. Yeah, it wasn't so peaceful. I kept twisting and turning because if I closed my eyes all I could see was his face, and trust that is not a sight I like to see. So I get didn't much sleep.

NEXT DAY Chad's POV

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed. I turn over to find the most beautiful woman lying next to me. Her hair's spread out on the pillow and she just looks like an angel.

"Stop staring at me," Woah, she's awake.

"But you're gorgeous, how could I not stare at you?"

"Yeah well, how would you feel if I stared at you while you were sleeping? It's kind of creepy."

"I would say you can look, but you can't touch," she laughed, I love her laugh.

She sighed, "I guess this means it's time to get up,"

"Yeah, we do need to go to work so we can pay the bills," I said.

"Yes, because missing one day will kill us," she joked. I nodded in agreement. She left the room, I'm guessing to go get dressed then make breakfast. I guess that means I should start getting ready.

I finished getting dressed and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning Dad, finally decided to come eat?" Bekka asked me.

"Did I really take that long?" My entire family nodded their heads.

"You took longer then the average GIRL should take," Alex joked. I was not amused.

"Oh haha, real funny Alex."

"Well, he is your son honey. You had to expect he would be just as sarcastic as you," Sonny told me, I hate when she's right.

"Alright, well I have to go to work. I love you kids, ready to go Sonny?"

"Yeah. I love you kids, see you when I get home. Don't be late for school," She gave each kid a kiss and we walked out the door to the car.

"So do you think Valerie will actually do something?" Sonny asked me.

"No she's all talk and no action, trust me, everything should be fine," I reassured her.

Bekka's POV

"Okay, time to go to school," Alex said, rubbing his hands together.

"Why are you so excited to go to school for a change?" I ask him.

"No reason," he mumbled, did he just blush?

"Did you just blush?" Chris asked, wow mind reader much? "Ooh, Alex has a crush!" Chris continued.

"Shut up!" Alex said.

"I think I know who the girl is!" I say in a sing song voice.

"Alright, let's stop teasing Alex and get to school before we're late,"

"When did you decide to become the mature older brother?" Cameron asked jokingly.

"Get in the car." Beck said. We all did what he said and had a peaceful ride to school it made me forget about you know who.

That was all flushed down the drain once I got to my locker. Guess who was waiting for me?

"So, are you going to behave today?" Bruce asked menacingly. Why is no one in the freaking hallway? Don't they have classes they need to get books for?

"Why are you so persistent on bullying and sexually harassing me?" He slapped me, in the same spot as the last time.

"Did I say you could talk back?"

"You didn't answer my question," he slapped me again.

"You just don't know how to shut up do you? We'll have to finish this later, people are starting to come in," Oh great, now they come, you're about five minutes to late buddy. Bruce walked away leaving me there to rub my cheek.

"Hey Bekka, what's up?"

"Dylan! You scared me! Where did you come from?"

"Well, when a Mommy and Daddy are in love-"

"EWWW! That is not what I meant!"

"Hahaha! Well, that is what you said!" Hannah laughed.

"Hey Hannah,"

"What's up chickie? Got hit in the face with a ball again?" I totally forgot about that!

"No, today it was a locker,"

"Oh you're giving every inanimate object a chance to injure you?" Dylan joked.

"Yeah, I don't want any object to feel left out," we all bust out in a fit of laughter for a few minutes, then we decided to get to class.

It turns out me and Bruce were never able to finish what we started. In fact, I didn't see him for the rest of the week. It's Friday now and my week was full of schoolwork, friends, conversation with Eli, and no Bruce. It was a good week. Now it's time for that camping trip Mom is so fond of.

AT HOME Bekka's POV

"Okay kids! The car is all packed and ready! Let's get on the road!" Mom said all too excitedly. A bunch of unexcited mumbles succeeded her statement.

This trip took 4 hours to get to the camp ground and the ride there was filled with a bunch of guys having a burping contest and me being smushed in the middle of everything. When we got to the camp grounds I jumped out of the car and kissed the ground.

"So you eat dirt now?" Alex said. I glared at him.

"Well, at least I'm able to put food in my mouth." I replied.

"Look, that spaghetti jumped of the spoon and landed on my shirt," he reassures me.

"Mhmm, yeah. We both know it was because you were staring at Hannah"

"Shut up, Bekka!" he looks so embarrassed, maybe this camping thing can be fun.

"Alright kids, calm down. Let's set up camp and make a fire," Mom said.

"Yeah, 'cause the sooner we do this the sooner we can go home," Dad whispers to us, we all laughed and Mom stares at us in confusion.

"What's so funny?" we all say nothing and act like nothing happened. She shrugs and we start to set up camp.

"How about we have a little friendly competition?" I tell my brothers. "Whichever team finishes putting up their tent first wins," They all replied, "Deal" and the games were on.

It was me and Alex against Cameron, Chris, and Beck. You may think since they have three and we have two that it would be an obvious victory. How wrong you are.

"Finished!" me and Alex yell, we turn around that the boys are still reading the manual. "Not fair!"

"Totally fair! Me and Alex went to Uncle Grady's camp while ya'll stayed home to sleep! That's your own fault!" This argument was over, Alex and I won. After that we all sat by the campfire that my mom made and dad attempted to make. "Alright, who wants to tell the first scary story?" mom asked us. Trust me, I have one heck of a story to tell you, but I can't.

"Nope, sorry," I told her. She looked at the boys and they refused to and so did Dad. So it all came down to her.

"You know what you guys are all party poopers! I'm going to bed!" That's the end of Day 1 at the camp I didn't want to be at.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Crack

My eyes shot open, did I just hear what I think I heard?

Crack

That's when my whole body shot up. Yes, I definitely heard something.

"Alex. Alex! Wake up!" I say while slapping him repeatedly.

"What? What is it?" he mumbles sleepily.

"I heard something outside of the tent,"

"It was probably the wind go back to sleep Bekka,"

Crack

"Is that what the wind sounds like now?" Then it was his to turn to fly up.

"What was that?"

"That's what I've been wondering, idiot!"

"Rawwwwwrrrrrrr!" Once I heard that fake rawr, I knew it was a joke. But Alex couldn't tell so he ran out of the tent screaming. It was hilarious! Until he hit the tree.

"Oh my gosh! Alex are you okay!" I heard mother yell, so she was the secret monster?

"mmmfp" Alex mumbled. This is not good. Mom and I rushed over to Alex as the rest of the boys including Dad were lazily coming out of their tent.

"Chad! Pack up the car, we have to get Alex to the hospital!" and that was the end of our camping trip. Great idea Mom.

Alex ended up being fine, the impact just knocked him out. The doctor prescribed him some headache medicine since his will be tender for a while. We just ended up going home to avoid any other injuries that might have been caused if we went back.

The rest of the weekend was boring, except for the occasional teasing Mom about the Alex incident.

So now it's Monday again, and time to go to school again. Fun. Maybe, this no Bruce streak will continue. Then maybe it will be fun.

There you go. This is one of the longest chapters I have ever written. I was actually excited while writing it. So, yeah. Thanks mrpuppy for the camping idea!

That being said, I would like to announce that my sister has a fanfiction! She has a Twilight story, so if you're a fan of Twilight please read and review her story! It would make her so excited. Don't tell her I told you though. :)

P.S. Please, tell me what you think. Your reviews are what encourage me to write stories so please review!
