Immediately as I walked through the door, my mother was already rushing
around getting things ready for her new boyfriend and his son (Spot) to
come over. Spot was already there seeing as I gave him a ride and he was
standing right next to me, along with Itey and Mush.
"Hi mom." I smiled then started up the stairs.
"Louis Ballet! Come back here this instant!" She yelled up there stairs. I turned and started down the stairs I had just gone up.
My friends right behind me I smiled politely and asked, "Yes?"
She gave me a death glare, "Your friends will have to go home right now! Greg is coming over in a little bit with his son and I will not have all your friends here to ruin my night." By friends she meant Spot. He's the only one that ever got us in trouble.
"I'll go drop off Itey in a minute, and I was going to go into the kitchen and make Mush a sandwich, is that alright mom?" I asked patting Mush on the back. He grinned at me.
She nodded, "And what about 'Spot'?"
I smiled, "Spot's eating over, mother."
My mom's eyes went gigantic, "He will not eat over tonight! Greg and his son are coming over!"
Spot stepped along side me, "Greg's son is already here Ms. Ballet."
My mom shook her head, "Don't mess with my mind, now Mush, go make your sandwich, Blink go drop Itey and Spot off at their houses."
Spot smiled, "You mean he has to go drop me off just so I can come back over again... that doesn't make much sense to me." He said shrugging.
"Me neither, but if my mom said I better drop you off Simon." I said patting him on the back.
My mom raised her eyebrows, "Your really serious?"
"No Ms. Ballet. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky." Spot smiled.
Mush gave a airy laugh, "You mean you learned something in Science?"
"I listen when I feel like it." Spot commented, "besides, it's fun to have things like that to annoy people."
"It didn't annoy me Simon, Conlon is it now?" Mother said walking into the other room. Mush was already in there making his sandwich, and she wanted to check on him.
"Oh no Mush! That meat is out of date!" her voice carried from the distance.
Itey laughed, "So, are you ready to take me home?"
I nodded, "Hold on then I can drop Mush off on our way.
* * * *
After Spot and I went and dropped Mush and Itey off at their houses, then we found ourselves in my driveway; we opened the doors of the car, and walked to the door. We walked in to see something we really didn't want to see from our parents.
...They were on the couch, bet you can't guess what they were doing...
"Dad?" I heard the un-normal soft voice from the side of me.
"Mom, what the hell are you doing!" I managed to say, as they stood quickly up.
"Louis I..."
"Simon, I can explain..."
I looked over at Spot, who seemed to be as upset as I was. Biting my lip I shut my eye, "How long 'til dinners ready?"
I felt Spot's eyes on me, but still I did not move.
"About ten minutes." The quiet, shocked voice of my mother answered.
I nodded, "We'll be upstairs." I said, looking at Spot, he nodded and then we walked up the flights of stairs to my room. Passing my older little sister's room. A grin appeared on my lips as I heard the slight gasp of my sister.
Spot looked up from the stairs, which he had seemed to find quite amusing as he was walking up the stairs, "Hi Kellie."
I looked up at her, she had tears building up in her eyes, "Your not Greg's son are you?"
A weak grin grew emotion, as he gave a airy laugh, "Yup. I am."
She shook her head, then turned into her room, slamming the door behind her.
"Did she--?" he started to ask.
"A lot." I said nodded, as I started up the last flight of stairs.
After climbing all the stairs, we finally made it to my room. Opening the door, then finding a seat on the bed.
I fell backwards, thinking of what I had just seen. 'I can't believe it!' I thought to myself, 'My mother has never done this before... has she?'
I looked over at Spot, who was looking vacantly at the wall. I switched my gaze at the two pictures that sat by my bedside.
In the first picture, there was a tall bold man, with brown hair and blue eyes. Next to him was a beautiful woman with long flowing blond hair and light green eyes. In her arms was a small girl with shimmering dirty blond hair, mixed between the mother's and father's it was hard to tell what color it was at first, the girl looked little more then six months in the picture. Holding onto the woman's dress was another girl, this one older, her hair was just as brown, if not browner then the man's. Her eyes were like the mother's, beautiful in every way. Turning your eyes to the other side of the picture you saw a small boy, his smile spreading from one ear to another. His eyes were like his father's, as blue as the sky, and as pure as the air after rain. His hair came from the mother. Blond, the blond hair on the head was as if it was white. The tenderness, and sweetness in the face would have never been guessed to end up as one of the biggest troublemakers in the whole school.
Turning my gaze to the next picture, I couldn't help but smile. In the picture was the boy from the last picture, just a bit older, another blond boy sitting next to him and playing. They were both sitting in a mud pile, dirt covering their faces. Both had wide grins on their faces. Standing over them was yet another boy, this one had chocolate brown hair, which was as curly as you can imagine, his eyes just sucked you into his thoughts. After looking at the boy's forehead it was obvious what the other two were laughing at. There was a big blob of mud on his forehead, which was probably thrown by either of the other two boys.
I laughed to myself, and Spot looked over at me, "What's so funny?" he asked, his voice weak with confusion.
I picked up the picture and showed him. Then he laughed too.
"I remember that. We were like seven, and Mush didn't want to get dirty. You threw the mud remember?" He smiled.
I nodded, "I remember."
Knock knock
The door opened, my mother stood at the door, "Blink, Spot time for dinner."
We nodded and stood up. We walked downstairs into the Dinning room and two seats next to each other.
We said grace then served ourselves. On the table sat the finest chicken you could ever see, obviously bought from the store. Next to it was mashed potatoes, instant...yuck, with a gravy bowl right next to it. We had peas and carrots, rolls with butter, and even strawberry shortcake for dessert.
"That was great!" I said, leaning back in my chair patting my stomach.
"I'm stuffed." Spot announced before sharing a little advertiser with us all.
Megan and Kellie giggled, and I patted him on the back. "Thanks for sharing with us dude."
He smiled, "Anytime."
My mom looked over at Megan and Kellie, "It's time for bed for two little angels at his table." She smiled sweetly.
"Aww... do we have to?" Megan asked, yawning, "I'm not the least bit tired."
My mom laughed, "Yes. You do. Now say goodnight."
"Goodnight." Megan laughed, as I ruffled her hair. She lent up and gave me a kiss on the cheek, then skipped up the stairs.
Kellie gave a quiet goodnight then followed after her sister.
"We're going out for a little bit you two, we'll be back around eleven." My mom said picking up the plates.
"Alright, can I invite Mush over?" I asked, helping her out.
She nodded, "if you must."
"And can I invite Race over?" Spot asked with a grin.
My mom looked at us, "Are you planning a party or something?"
I shook my head, "It'll only be us four."
She let out a sigh, "Alright." She then picked up my little brother and handed him to me. He was already half asleep, "Will you put him to bed for me?"
I nodded, "Yes ma'am." I took him, then made my way to his room. His room was on the first level, and was the only room besides my mom's out of the ten rooms in my house on that level. I placed him in bed, then left his room.
"I'll call Race, and you call Mush." Spot said grabbing the phone.
"What if I want to call Race?" I pretended to cry.
He smiled, "Already dialed the phone number!"
I took out my cell phone, and punched in memory 3, and waited for a answer.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Mrs. Meyers. Is Mush there?"
"Alright! Just hold on!"
In the background I could hear her yelling at him, and I heard his crying as the sound of a smack rang through the phone.
"Hey?"
"Hi Mush, It's Blink."
"Kid..." His voice was low.
"Wanna come over, we're going to watch a movie."
"Ok..." I heard his voice grow with more emotion.
"Want me to come pick you up?"
"No, I'll walk. I'll be over in a little bit."
"Ok, see you then."
"Bye"
He hadn't hung up yet, and I could still hear the yelling in the background, "Who was that?"
"Just a friend Mom."
"What did he want?"
"He wants me to come over Dad."
"Are you going over?"
"Yes..."
"You didn't ask us?"
"I didn't think you would care." Mush's voice was cold.
"We'll teach you to--!" The phone was slammed down, and I pressed the end button.
I started to the door.
"Where you going, Race is on his way over?" Spot asked hanging up the phone.
"Kellie!" I yelled up the stairs.
"What?!"
"Watch the two younger one's for me, I have to go out for a little." I called up.
"Alright!"
I grabbed onto Spot's wrist, "Com'on!"
I dragged him to my car and we got in, "Where are we going Blink?" Spot asked.
"We gotta go get Mush, I'm worried about him."
"Why? His parents?"
I nodded, biting my lip.
He pointed out the window across the street, "There's Race, lets pick him up."
"Alright." I pulled into his driveway. "Get in Race, we have to go get Mush."
"Um... okay." He got in, "His parents again?"
I nodded, "I heard it over the phone, sounds like there drunk again."
We backed out of the driveway and made our way to the poorer side of town. Pulling up to a messy old trailer house. We got out of the car and headed to the door.
Inside we heard yelling, which was clearly that of Mush's parents. I knocked on the door, and the yelling stopped.
The door slipped slightly open and a ruffled voice of a woman answered, "What do you want?"
"Is Mush here? We need to talk to him." I smiled.
"He's not here!" she yelled.
"We just called him..." Spot said, giving her a queer look.
"He left!" She yelled again.
"Blink?" Mush's voice came from behind her.
"Hey Mush." I smiled.
Mush pushed past his mother, "I'm going out." Mush started walking to my car.
"You come back here!" She yelled after him. By this time we were all to the car. And Pulling out of what was supposed to be a driveway.
Mush sat next to me, trying very hard to hold back is tears. He lent on my shoulder as I drove and I looked down at him and smiled, "You alright?"
He nodded, "Do you think I can stay at your house tonight Blink. I don't wanna go home."
"Sure you can, Mush. I would be happier if you did." I kissed him gently on the head. Looking back Race and Spot were leaning on each other, fast asleep.
* * *
A/N: That was a long chapter. I think the longest I've ever written. That was great, I was so bored! It was sad though, you know with the whole Mush thing. It wasn't fun to write.
Well, time for...
SHOUT OUTS!!!
SHAKESEE- lmao, I don't think anyone knows how their own minds work. It's confusing really... Wow, did I just say that? Weird... They are cute aren't they? I love Mush and Blink. :p their the greatest. You don't have time for a long review? That is a long review dude. It's like wow. Hehe... Do you really think I'm a good writer? I think I'm a sucky one myself... but Then again I can never really say my own storys are good. So yeah. Skittery and Snitch so like each other, and they're so going to get to gether too... Yup yup! Um. sorry for the short ish shout out, it's late and I'm tired. And I have more shout outs to do too. Thanks for the review!
SPECSGLASSES- you finally updated! I was so happy! But anyway, back to your shout out. Hehe, you the coolest. I'm glad you like my story really I am! Yes, Spot and Blink are practically brothers. That is what I was trying to say. At the end they will be brothers too. Is everything Schools fault? I swear it is. ::nods:: yup. I know you love long shout outs, but my brother is rushing me. You see we're only supposed to have an hour, and this story alone took me like three. And he's saying, 'you've had your hour!' 'You need to get off!' I'm like 'shut up already!' yeah, well... short shout out sorry. Love ya.
T-R-US- You really should watch it. It's fun. I watch it just as much as I watch Newsies, I swear they have been on strike so many times in my house that it isn't funny, well yes it is. So HAHAHA! Lol, btw good luck with the plan. And make sure you send me an autograph when you meet him ;)
NAKAIA AIDAN-SUN- I ignored it. Yeah I did.
GRYFFIN PARKER- I love writing fanfics in gym. It's where I get most of my ideas. But lately I haven't really had a chance to. We're playing basketball and I love it! I'm thinking about trying out for the basketball team for school. That should be fun. Yes, Blink and Spot might be brothers... infact if you wanted to know they are going to end up being brothers...so... and I'm thinking about Mush moving in with the too. What do you think? I hate his parents. Thank you for the wonderful Review!
A/N: Next chapter... lets see. Two ideas. They go back to the house and 'hang out' or It'll just go into the next day, and Blink's mom makes Mush go home, then you know. But I could do that anyway for the chapter after the next if they just go to Blink's house. So, yeah. So nevermind. If you have any other ideas it won't hurt to tell me you know.
Thank you all for your support, Chip
