Ugh, the last chapter I wrote was really bad, I just read over it. The chapter was really rushed because I was trying to get to a certain point before I ended it and I wanted to finish writing it before I went to work. Anyway I'm going to try not to rush through it anymore. Otherwise thanks. Here's chapter 12.

---------------------------------------------------------

Joe couldn't sleep. He was in the basement with Kevin, while Frankie was upstairs with Nick. "Hey, Kevin? Are you awake?"

Kevin stirred a little. "Not really. What do you want?"

"Something is kind of bothering me right now." Joe replied.

"Can it wait?" Kevin asked, groggily.

"It's just that Lilly and I ran into Amy at Walmart the other night." Joe said.

"I'm listening." Kevin sat up across from Joe who was also sitting.

Joe told Kevin the story. "I couldn't believe all the things she was saying. It was really messed up."

"I'm sorry you had to deal with that." Kevin said softly. "I just can't believe she said all those things."

"Look, Kev, don't be sorry it isn't your fault she's that way." Joe replied. "You shouldn't beat yourself up about all this. You just need to move on and be done."

Kevin smiled. "I know, and thanks."

"Anytime." Joe layed back down. "Love you, Bro."

"Love you too, Joe." They laughed. Kevin heard Joe snoring a couple minutes later. He grabbed his phone and looked at the time, 5:43 am. He wanted to text Kelsy, he didn't want to even think of Amy anymore. He started entering the message. 'Hey kels sorry if its way early but we just picked up joe lilly and frankie from the airport and i wanted to ask you something so call me when you get up'

Kevin decided to get up. He turned on the ps2 and started playing a snow-boarding game. The volume was turned down on the tv so it wouldn't wake Joe. A couple minutes later, his phone rang. He looked at it and it was Kelsy. "Hey."

"Hey, what's going on?" Kelsy asked.

"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you up?" Kevin paused the game.

"Yeah kinda." She laughed. "I don't mind getting up early though. So what's going on?"

"Well it really isn't that big of a deal I was just wondering if you would maybe want to...go out with me tonight or tomorrow night?"

"Um yeah sure. That would be great. I'm free tonight but tomorrow I have some stuff going on."

"Ok, awesome!" Kevin lowered his voice realizing he was talking kind of loud. "So how does 6 sound?"

"Sounds good."

"I can pick you up at your house." Kevin got the directions to Kelsy's.

"So is that all now?" Kelsy asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you at 6." Kevin said.

"Ok, see you then. Bye."

"Bye." Kevin hung up. He smiled to himself and layed back down on the couch.

Later that morning, Robbie started calling everyone into the kitchen to eat. He made a big brunch. It was 11:30am, Frankie was the only one who was up and he was in the living room watching cartoons. Nobody else was really up but they started to file into the kitchen.

"Wow!" Frankie exclaimed with big eyes. "Chocolate chip pancakes and bacon and eggs! I'm hungryy."

Kevin laughed. "Save some for everyone else."

Frankie stuck his tongue out and giggled.

"Frankie, what about a hug for your big brother?" Kevin opened his arms.

"I missed you!" He ran over and hugged Kevin.

"Missed you too." Kevin said. Then he grabbed them each a plate out of the cupboard so they could start dishing up.

Soon, Nick and Miley came in also and greeted Frankie, giving him hugs.

Lilly went downstairs when she woke up. She didn't see Joe so she went to the basement. "Joee, you're the last one up."

"Aww." Joe groaned. "I'm tired."

Lilly smiled and sat down on the bed Joe was laying on. "Aren't you hungry?"

"No I'm sleepy." Joe opened his eyes.

"Frankie's going to eat all your food." Lilly replied. "I'm going to go upstairs now so he doesn't eat mine too."

"No!" Joe grabbed Lilly's arm and pulled her down next to him. "Now that you're down here you can cuddle with me."

"Well...okay." Lilly sighed, then laughed to herself. She got comfortable and fell back asleep.

Nick and Kevin sat in the living room while Frankie and Miley were in the kitchen playing checkers.

"So I'm going out tonight..." Kevin said, flipping through the channels.

"With Kelsy?" Nick asked looking at Kevin.

"How did you know?" Kevin questioned looking back at Nick.

"Hello- who else would you be going out with?"

"That's true, so did Joe tell you that he and Lilly ran into Amy at Walmart?"

"Ugh thats too bad. So what happened there?"

Kevin told Nick the story that Joe had told him last night. "I hope I never hear anything from that girl again."

"Same here." Nick said. "Oh Mom called this morning."

"What did she say?"

"She said that her and Dad were going to get the rest of the stuff boxed up and get some people in to help with the furniture and then they'll be leaving tomorrow morning hopefully."

"Oh cool." Kevin replied. "I can't wait to get my car back!"

Nick laughed. "You care more about your car than Mom and Dad."

"No! I miss them too." Kevin laughed. "I miss having my car too though."

"I win again!" Frankie yelled.

"Nicky, Frankie's cheating." Miley whined.

"Nuh uh I'm an expert at checkers." Frankie said, looking up at Miley.

"It's true. He learned when he was like 4." Kevin added.

"See?" Frankie gave Miley an I-told-you-so look.

Miley laughed. "You've always beaten me at checkers."

"I beat everyone." Frankie said.

"So what should we do now?" Miley asked.

"Wanna play war?" Frankie grabbed the deck of cards.

"Sure." Miley giggled.

"Deal me in." Nick went over and sat at the table.

"I'll play too." Kevin went and sat in another empty chair.

Later that afternoon, Joe and Lilly were up and Kevin was getting ready for his date.

"Where did Joe go?" Lilly asked coming downstairs from taking a shower.

"You sound like a lost puppy." Miley said, laughing.

"Puppies can't talk, duh." Lilly replied sarcastically. "Where is he?"

"He had to go down to Rico's to get Jackson's car keys so Kevin could borrow his car. Did you hear Kevin is going out with Kelsy tonight?" Miley asked.

"Aww that's cute." Lilly sat down on the couch next to Miley. "Where are Nick and Frankie?"

"They out in the backyard doing guy stuff I guess."

"I see."

At 5:45, Kevin left the house to go pick up Kelsy. He followed her directions and made his way to her house. Once he found the address, he pulled the car in the driveway and walked up to her door. Kevin knocked on the door.

Kelsy opened the door. "Hey, Kevin."

"Hey, Kelsy, ready to go?" Kevin asked.

"Yep." Kelsy grabbed her purse and went out to the car with him.

"You look really nice." Kevin said.

"Thanks." Kelsy smiled. "So where are we going?"

"I thought we'd just go get some dinner." Kevin said.

"That sounds good." Kelsy replied.

Kevin pulled up to a Chinese restaurant and they were seated in the back. "So how are you doing tonight?"

"I'm great." Kelsy said. "And how are you?"

"I'm wonderful." Kevin smiled.

A waiter came up and took their orders. They talked a little and then their food came.

"So what are you doing Friday?" Kevin asked.

"I'm not really sure yet." Kelsy replied. "Why?"

"Well there's a Hannah concert and I was just wondering if you wanted to come with me." Kevin said.

"Yeah that would be fun." She nodded.

"Cool." They finished eating and talked some more. "What does your fortune say?" Kevin asked as they opened the cookies.

"Uh...'A smile is your personal welcome mat.' Okay. What does yours say?" Kelsy asked.

"Mine is 'No man is without enemies.'" Kevin replied. He got up and paid, then they went out to the car. "So I should get you home now, it's like 8."

"Oh, yeah. We'll hang out Friday though for sure with the Hannah concert, right?" Kelsy asked, just to make sure.

"Yeah for sure." Kevin replied as he drove towards her house. "You can text me later or tomorrow or something."

"Ok. You can text me too if you want." Kelsy said.

"Yeah." Kevin drove up to Kelsy's house. "Well I had fun." He got out and gave her a hug.

"I had fun too. I'll talk to you later." Kelsy waved and went up to her house.

"Ok, later." Kevin went and got back in the car, then headed back to the Stewart house.
