Jasmine. POV

"Crap, this is worse than you described on the phone," I told my brother, my eyes bulging at the

sight before me.

"It's not that bad, is it?" Seth asked

"We're standing in puddles, it's bad," I informed him

"I know, I know," Seth sighed

"We can't stay here," Riley announced entering the living room

"I agree," Mum stated walking in behind him

"How the hell did this happen?" Bart asked, kicking a puddle, I had begged for him to come with me,

when I had received Seth's panicked phone call.

"That would maybe be my fault," Mum admitted

"Not maybe mum, it is your fault," Seth stated, obviously annoyed.

"Maybe if you had remembered you left the bath running whilst you were chatting on the phone to

one of your stupid friends we wouldn't be in this situation," Dad said harshly

"Look I'm sorry ok, no need to be so rude Carl," Mum defended obviously upset at his tone and the

bitterness of his words

"Yeah dad, lay off it," Riley said

"You're not the one who's going to have to shut down his business for a month because of her

stupid actions!" Dad yelled pointing his finger in mum's direction.

"Stop it!" I said disliking the way he was shouting at her

"And not only that, but now we have to find somewhere else to live!" Dad groaned, his face red with rage

"You can stay with us." Bart informed my family

"Really?" I asked shocked at his offer, he wasn't my family's biggest fan.

"Yeah, I mean you guys need a place to stay and I'm sure Aunty Myra won't mind, in fact she'd

probably be thrilled, gives you guys more time to discuss the wedding," Bart said

"And where are we all supposed to sleep?" Dad asked, obviously disliking Bart's kind offer.

"Well, Jacqui's just moved back in with Rhys, so you and Heidi can stay in her room, Riley stay with

Mercy in her room, Seth can sleep on the couch, no one will mind and well Jasmine's already staying

in my room," Bart explained, I noticed my dad's eyes flash with anger when hearing about the fact

that I was staying in Bart's room.

"Fine," Dad accepted through gritted teeth.

"Thank you Bart, that's very kind of you," My mum smiled

"Yeah thanks," Dad mumbled

"Right so, we'll let you guys get your things ready and then you can come round when you're done,"

I told them, taking Bart by the hand and leading him out of the pub.

"You didn't have to do that you know, they have enough money to pay for a nearby hotel," I told him.

"Look they're your family, I might not adore them, but for you I'd do anything," He admitted

"You're so sweet, it's literally killing me," I smiled

"It's because I love you,"

"Oooh that might change when my family move in,"

"Nothing will ever stop me loving you," Bart informed me in all seriousness

"I love you too," I replied, I stopped walking and brought my lips to his.

An hour later whilst Bart and I were sat on living room couch, the door bell rang.

As I opened the door, I was not surprised to see my family standing there and my mum with three

suitcases.

"Come on in," Myra called from behind me; I stepped aside and watched as they filed in.

"Let the fun begin," Seth whispered to me as he passed.

"I'll show you to your rooms, Ere Heidi I'll give you hand with one of those bags," Myra offered

"Thank you Myra, but just be careful that suitcase cost me quite a lot of money," Mum fake smiled.

"More like it cost me a lot of money," Dad said from behind her, ushering her upstairs.

I turned to Bart, who was smiling beside me.

"Amused by my family are you?" I asked, jokingly

"Well, I have to admit I do find them entertaining," Bart smirked

"That's because you haven't had the wonderful opportunity of living with them yet," I informed him

sarcastically.

"Well I do now,"

"Yeah, at the end of this week you'll be wishing you never offered to let them stay here,"

"Trust me living with my lot isn't a piece of cake either,"

"Yeah and don't I know it,"

"We'll cope,"

"You say that now, but let's not forget we've got your lot and my lot in one house now,"

"Haha, yeah, but I've got to admit, I'm just a little curious about how they'll get on,"

"You know what they say Bart right? Curiosity killed the cat,"

"True, but I'm not a cat, I'm Bart McQueen, all man," Bart smirked, leaning his face towards

mine

"Hmm, interesting way to put it,"

"Uhuh," Bart murmured closing the gap between us.

"Urgh get a room," Seth said from the stairs disrupting our kissing session.

And so it begins, the joy of living with my family again.
