Hey guys! I'm sorry for being quiet for the past 2 weeks, a lot has happened but I am working on the 5th chapter! :D And hoping to possibly post it by Wednesday or Thursday.

Basically I am currently on Spring Break, but our university turned to online classes and initially students were allowed to stay on campus but they just gave us the order to evacuate the campus and that this is mandatory. For my area, we are currently under a state of emergency bc of the coronavirus and now suddenly college developments are changing by the second.

So! I decided for now to give a sneak preview of what I have so far!

And also now let's talk about a mini surprise! I have decided to do a mini sort of spin off series to the side of this main storyline, it's updates will be on and off depending on if I have a sort of spontaneous idea. It is extremely informal sort of text message style, it is sorta non-canon to this main story and it's like mini updates before the big ones with this story. I really hope you enjoy the mini stories in between the main ones and to go check it out. So overall the two stories will be part of a series on Ao3 called: "Anderson Family Shenanigans" LINK: /series/1667269

and this miniseries will be called:"Because it's fun to tease your sister" LINK: /works/23190634/chapters/55513441

Also another mini q&a of u guys at the end of this chapter

It's 6am according to the clock, but that's not really the thing that catches her attention the most.

The first thing that Alina reallynoticed when she woke up on the sofa is that something was resting on top of her back that wasn't necessarily a pillow or blanket. Rather, it was something that seemed slightly heavy, sturdy, and gave off some warmth. She slowly got up from her position, and said thing slid off of her as she worked to get off the sofa bed.

However, in an instant she found herself pulled back onto the couch and her body tensed from the sudden gesture. After managing to slow down her breathing from the initial shock, she looked up and recognized the heat source next to her as Hank and that right now he had his arm protectively around her. That was probably what I felt earlier?

It was strange . . .

Strange to be on the receiving end of a hug, the initial body contact paralyzes you for a bit but then it is followed by a warm fuzzy feeling.

It's no wonder Connor wasn't used to her hug earlier.

She kinda felt like a stuffed animal being enveloped by Hank right now. Her head was tucked right underneath his chin and she was nestled into Hank's side while using his shoulder as a pillow. It felt safe and secure.

She hadn't felt that way in a long time. Her mum was always out of the house, working to help pay the house mortgage and keep them afloat. When she was 12 and 13, her mum would still come home a bit earlier to cook dinner with Alina. It was their bonding time and a sense of reassurance that maybe they could retain a sense of normalcy after kicking dad out of their lives. But after she turned 14, she started to do more part time work too and their break times wouldn't match as much.

Dinner nights became . . . lonely and she was always asleep by the time her mother came back. She silently shuttered thinking back to all the times she cooked and ate alone. Sure, she didn't mind eating alone and had gotten used to the concept. But it wasn't exactly something she liked having to deal with.

She peeked over to Hank's sleeping figure and saw how he seemed to be so relaxed despite the bags of eyes. Maybe things would be better here than back home? She liked the fact that she didn't have to be alone all the time. She did have friends and a family of friends, but it just wasn't the same.

She relaxed some more next to Hank and her head plopped onto Hank.

I don't want to be alone again. Please… don't kick me out.

She nuzzled herself to Hank's side and then pushed the negative thought away. It was no use in thinking about it now, he did say she was only staying with them for a week. Maybe Tina could take her in? As she thought more and more about what to do next, her mind cascaded into the world of oblivion again as the dream world beckoned her.

Once again thank you to the subscribers that are so patient 3 I really appreciate all your love

Q&A QUESTIONS TIME! :D
What are ur favorite movies and why? Maybe like a favorite quote or theme or moral around the movie?

For me my favorite movie is "Into The Spiderverse" bc Miles Morales is just such a relatable character in that struggle to find your identity and figure out what you want to do with your life. And for me, the favorite quote from the movie is:

"How do I know I'm ready?

You won't, it's a leap of faith. That's all it is."

*cues* 'What's up danger?' music songggg~

So just like if u guys r scared to do smt new or to challenge urself, take tht leap of faith and dive in, maybe it'll turn out better than u think, take a chance. (Warning: Please don't do dangerous stuff though, excluding those and dont do like harmful stuff ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ Thanks!)
