Lily woke up to the sound of a crash and yelling voices. She looked down to see Kyle still sound asleep in her lap. So she carefully shifted his head on to a nearby pillow, and slowly but quietly made her way out of the guest room.
Lily walked through the living room and to the front door. She unlocked the door and stuck her head out to see her neighbors, the Jacksons, form across the hall having a huge augment. It looked like Mrs. Jackson was throwing her husband out again. This was no big event it happened at least once every week and by now Lily and her other neighbors were used to it.
"I HATE YOU, GET OUT!" Mrs. Jackson yelled and she started throwing her husbands belongings out of their apartment.
Lily had just enough time to duck into her apartment and shut her front door as a large suitcase came flying her way, and there was thump as the suitcase hit.
Kyle was awoken by a loud bang and he opened his eyes to find that Lily was gone. He sat up wincing at the pain in his side, as his stitches protested the movement. Kyle made his way out of the guest room looking for Lily, but she was no where to be found.
Just as he reached the living room Lily came in the front door.
"Where did you go?" Kyle asked with a yawn.
"Nowhere, just trying to keep my neighbors from killing each other" she told him plainly.
"Ok" Kyle said a bit confused, "why were your neighbors trying to kill each other?" he asked as he pored himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the kitchen table.
"Nobody really knows for sure" Lily said as she also poured her self a cup of coffee and sat down next to Kyle. "So" she said "tell me about this crazy family of yours"
"How about this one?" Lily asked Kyle as she handed him yet another birthday card.
Kyle and Lily had decided to stop by the drug store on their way to the party and get Amy a birthday card.
"I don't think that Amy will see the humor in this" Kyle told her with a smile as he handed her back the birthday card that had Spongebob saying "have a happy fifth birthday!"
"But it fits her so well" Lily said barley able to control her laughter.
"Just because she can act like she's five years old doesn't mean that she is" Kyle said and they both started Laughing, but Kyle quickly stopped when it made his injured side hurt. "Owww, stop don't make me laugh it hurts" Kyle said still smiling.
"Sorry" Lily said also smiling, "are you ok?"
"I'm fine"
"Let's just get this one" Lily said and she handed him a simple card that said "happy birthday" and was covered in flowers.
"Perfect" Kyle said as he took the card and they made their way up to the front of the store to pay for it, then he looked at his watch "But we'd better hurry it's almost three thirty, and the party starts at four"
