Woo hoo! You guys did it! You gave me two comments, so here is the chappie I promised! XD Remember those OCs doe… I need dem! But, let's continue the whole two comments thing… so, next chappie is 2 comments away!

QOTC: Do you have any pets? If yes, tell meh what they are and their names, if not, tell me what pet you would like!

Yay, so, um, answer that question! I have two cats, Peabody and Piper, and a dog named Bosco. They rock!

Here is chappie number 11!

Brooke's POV

I waved goodnight and closed the door. I leaned against the wall and slid down and sat on the floor, where Coal came up and pounced on me. He was so cute…

He sniffed my hands, and then looked up at me and meowed when he reached my wrist. There were rub burns and rope marks around them. I sighed, and headed into the bathroom to find some Neosporin… ah, Dangit, I was supposed to visit my dad tonight! Ugh… too late now. I glance at the clock. Midnight. No wonder I was tired. After putting on the Neosporin, I walked over to my room and collapsed on my bed. I crawled under the covers, not caring to change my clothes. I was too tired, and I didn't feel like getting up.

I laid there, trying to sleep, Coal curled up in the crook of my arm. All I could think about was the scare I had. What if he got out of Jail? What about the other man who was there? What if they came back? I looked over at my clock. 12:37. I slowly crawled out of bed, trying not to stir Coal. Standing up, I pulled a hair tie off my wrist and put my hair in a messy bun. Walking down the hall, I slipped into my dad's room. I wished I could see him there, sleeping peacefully, but that's only a dream. Cancer sucks.

Venturing into the closet, I looked for the wooden box that hasn't been touched for years. I spotted it on the top shelf. Grabbing a stepstool from the bathroom, I reached up and grabbed it, then brought it over to my dad's bed and set it down. It was heavy, I'll tell ya that. Blowing the dust off the top, I read the words carved there.

Paul Michael Janners.

Yup, that was his name.

I slowly unclipped the two clasps that had held this box closed for years, and opened it. Inside sat a shiny, blue, Diamond. It was beautiful. It was maybe the size of an eraser, so it was huge in the gem world. Huge. I decided not to touch it, but I gently closed the lid and placed it back in the closet, and threw my dad's ugly Christmas sweater on top of it just incase.'

I left my dad's room and headed back to mine, and looked at my dresser. On top of it were two frames. One held the picture of my Mom, Dad, and I, and another showed me, at the age of 14, sitting at a piano bench with Nikki. I picked it up and held it gently in my hands.

"Mrrrow!" Coal jumped onto my shoulder from the bed (yes cats can do that), scaring me. I shrieked and dropped the frame, and backing came off and the picture flew out. It all came down in separate pieces: the photo, the frame, and the backing.

"Coal!" I scolded, and he sulked back over to the bed. Bending down, I picked up the pieces. Nothing was broken, thank the Lawrd. However, when I picked up the picture, I noticed something written on the back.

Hey Brooke! Thank you for being an awesome friend. I love playing Minecraft and piano together, and doing art with you! I can't wait for the national art fair this summer! It's gonna be so much fun! Well, see ya later!

~Nikki

A single tear rolled down my cheek. I sighed and put the picture back in the frame and placed it next to the other picture. I laid back down on my bed with Coal, and slowly felt myself drift into sleep.

Mitch's POV

I flopped down onto the bottom bunk, Jerome following after.

"Alright biggums, TURN OFF DAH LIGHTZZ!" I shouted into my pillow. Jerome obeyed and turned off the lights then climbed up the ladder to his bed.

In ten minutes, I heard Bacca's snoring. NO. Just, no.

I sat up and went out of the room, and for some reason went to the computer room. Hey, I had an idea…

I grabbed the camcorder off the desk ad turned it on.

"Hey guys, its Mitch, or baj-*yawn*-oh, sorry, you see, it's past midnight here, so I'm pretty tired, but I wanted to show you something." I said as I crept down the hall into mine and Jerome's room.

"You ready to see something?" I whispered, grapping a black marker off my desk. I slowly uncapped it and drew a mustache on Jerome. I then put the cap back on and pulled out my phone. I pressed music, turned it on full volume, and held it next to his ear. I smirked at the camera and said,

"For you, biggums!" and I pressed play.

"ASDFGHJKL OH MAH GAWD!" He shouted, shooting up and hitting his head on the ceiling. I burst out laughing, still holding the camera.

"BIGGGUUUUMMMMSSS!" He shouted, jumping down from the bed and tackling me.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed, dropping the camera. We wrestled for about 4 seconds when Adam came in.

"What dafuq! GO TO SLEEP! He shouted, slamming the door shut.

"Good to see you too Sky!" I shouted back, laughing my head off.

In a couple minutes Jerome and I were able to breathe again, and I said goodnight to the camera and turned off, so it would be uploaded tomorrow.

"Good night, Benja."

"Good night Bacca."

The next Morning!

Brooke's POV

I slowly opened my eyes to see big, round, grey ones staring at mine.

"Mrrrooww!" And I felt his tiny paws walk all over my stomach.

"Coal….. why so earrrllyyyyyyyyy…. *yawn*." I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Groaning, I stood up and went to go feed Coal, and I stop to look at the clock.

7:10. Why Coal, why?

The little black and white kitten followed me into the kitchen where I poured some more food into his dish. I decided that since I was awake, I would go and see my dad since I didn't last night. I walked back into my room and looked at my phone.

OH yea, I had to call Jason.

I dialed in his number and clicked call, then put it on speaker and set it down so I could start getting my clothes out.

"Hey Brooke! How are you doing?" His voice came from the speaker.

"Good, good. Coal woke me up early this morning. You?" I responded, pulling out my jeans.

"Good. Jerome and Mitch decided to stay up late and wrestle and play pranks on each other when we got home, so Ty went in and stopped that. Other than that, we all slept. Ian and I are the first ones awake." He said. I could here cereal being poured in the back ground.

"Cool."

A couple seconds of silenced passed, and I heard Ian mutter something to Jason, which was inaudible for me.

"So, um, hey Brooke?" He said nervously. I got a little worried too.

"…Ya?" I responded quietly.

"Do you, um, wanna, you know… go, out…?" He finished sheepishly.

I was quiet for a moment.

"I haven't been asked out since 9th grade, and even then that relationship didn't last maybe a month.

"S-sure…" I stuttered, not knowing what else to say.

"YAAAAAYYYY JASONNN AND BROOKE! YOU DID IT JANSON! Ian so pwoud of wouuuu!" I heard Ian shout in the background. I blushed and giggled.

"DOOD, IAN SHUT UP!" Jason shouted back. I heard a smack.

"Owie…"

"Sorry about that. So wait, really?! Do you want to go on a walk? Like, a trail, or whatever…" He slowed down at the end. He obviously hadn't thought this through.

"A walk sounds nice…" I trailed off, getting a little worried. I didn't know what else to say, what I should do, or what. I don't like like Jason, right?

"Cool! DO you wanna meet at the StarBucks on Survay Avenue?"

"Ya, sounds great. What time?" I asked the butterflies in my stomach calming down a bit.

"How about… 2:00?"

"Sure. See you at 2?"

"See you at 2!" The call ended. I slumped onto my bed.
"Oh shoot, a date? Really? What do I do now?" I mumbled.
