Cora's POV…
Me, Bradin, Nikki, and Derek sat in the living room looking at pictures of all of us from when we were little. Some I had brought, some were from their parents. "Ha-ha, look at this one…" Derek said handing me a picture. "Oh I remember this." I said. The picture was of me and Bradin with cake all over our faces at my 10th birthday party, "My mom was so mad, she couldn't get the cake out of my party dress." I laughed at the memory. Bradin smiled, "And it took me forever to get it out of my hair, but that cake fight was fun…" I nodded, "Yeah it was." I set that picture down and picked another one up, this time it was of Me, Nikki, Derek, Mr. and Mrs. Westerly, and Bradin. Nikki sighed seeing the picture and I looked at her, "Oh umm… I'm sorry." I quickly put it under a few other pictures to hide it but Bradin grabbed my hand to stop me, "No… it's nice to be reminded of them sometimes. Keep it out; it'll be like they're looking at these with us." I nodded setting the picture to the side.
By now we were all in our pajamas, me in my grey pajama pants with the word 'Angel' written on the back and a black tank top, Bradin in red plaid boxers and a green t-shirt, Nikki in her night gown and Derek wearing sweat pants and a dinosaur t-shirt. "Our first Juice day!" Bradin smiled picking up a picture of Bradin and me looking on the verge of hurling on the couch in my mom's house. "You look sick." Derek commented and Bradin and I said at the same time, "We were!" We all laughed and Ava walked n, 'How are you guys doing?" She asked. We all said things like, "Fine," "Great," But I heard Bradin say, "never been happier." This made me blush and it was only then I realized he hadn't let go of my hand. Ava had a box in her arms, "I found more photos, if you feel like going through them…" She set the box down beside us and said, "Any one want a milkshake?" Again me and Bradin said in unison, "Vanilla with gummy bears and whipped cream." That was out favorite kind since the day we were at my dad's house and were having milkshakes. We were also watching the lion king and eating gummy bears when I spilt the whole bag in his milk-shake. "I was prepared for that."Ava walked away. Bradin and I laughed and Nikki and Derek picked up another picture, "Whose this?" asked Derek. Bradin took the picture and smiled, "Cora… look." I saw the picture in his hands and my hand slowly went to my mouth. We were 4, sitting on the swings… we were holding hands and Bradin was kissing my cheek. "That's Cora and I." Bradin told Derek and Nikki giggled, "You 2 look so cute."
Bradin POV:
"Well one of us still does," I said prodding Cora in the stomach. Cora grabbed her stomach and laughed and she tickled me. I tickled her back and a tickle war began. As our milkshakes arrived she grabbed my hands to stop me and I stopped. Aunt Ava handed us our milkshakes. I rolled the straw between my fingers and took a sip. Cora picked a gummy bear out of it and popped it in her mouth giggling lightly. We continued looking htrough pictures and laughing and everything, we finished our milkshakes and I looked out the window. Derek and Nikki were in bed and Aunt Ava was probably crouched over a new design or something, "Cora come on.." I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the kitchen. I found a bag of pop corn in the pantry so I put it in the microwave. "Bunny, what are you doing?" She asked me and I smiled, "Let's go outside, eat popcorn, and count the stars." I suggested. She smiled and kissed me, "That's so romantic! How many times have you done this with Callie?' She asked her tone in her voice changing. "Cora, don't… I told you I love you, and I do! His just popped into my head okay, so please, just come outside?" She nodded and then it was silent until the microwave beeped signaling all the kernels were popped. I took it out of the microwave and dragged Cora outside where I saw something I really didn't want to. Oh Shit, I thought. "Whoes she?" Callie asked?
