Later the same day.

Lyndsey's POV:

I had a shower and sat on my bed drying my hair, my door was slightly ajar; it suddenly swung open from Nick knocking on it.

'Hey what's up?' I said turning off my hair dryer

'So you're grounded as well huh?' he said sitting on my stool.

'Yeah, did I take the shine off of you a bit?'

'No 'afraid not, grounded for a month and I'm sure there is a whole heap of other shit to come.'

'Oh well at least I tried.' I said sarcastically.

'Want to watch a DVD?'

'Yeah ok, let me just finish drying my hair and I'll give you a shout.'

'Make sure you pick something funny.' I shouted after him

Just as I was about to switch on my hair dryer I heard Rome's voice down stairs with my dad.

'Ok I bought beer and fried chicken, the essential supplies' I heard Rome laugh

'Nice one dude. I've had a shit day and I've got two grounded teenagers stuck at home for the whole weekend.'

I ran to my bedroom and finished drying off my hair and then went and knocked on nicks door.

'Picked one yet?'

'Yeah American pie sound ok?'

'Yeah fine, I'll go down stairs and get drinks and popcorn you set it up.'

'Hey Rome!' I said on my way past the lounge.

'What are you doing?' dad followed me out to the kitchen

'Just getting something to eat and drink. That ok?' I opened the fridge.

'Just don't steal any beer.' Rome shouted.

'Wheres nick?'

'He's upstairs. What's with the twenty questions dad?' I was getting annoyed and he was stood in my way.

'I am your dad, I can ask you questions.'

'Me and nick are going to watch a movie; I was just getting some drinks and popcorn. Why do you want to know every little thing we are doing? Shall I shout down and tell you when we go to the bathroom.' I said a little bit more than I wanted to.

I didn't look him in the eye I just looked at the floor.

He walked closer to me.

'because I am not bringing up two brats who think its ok to mug old ladies and talk back to their parents so in future watch your mouth.' He shouted and walked out of the kitchen slamming the door behind him.

I had tears in my eyes. I made sure they were gone before I walked into the living room.

I said good night to dad and Rome and walked back upstairs with two bottles of Pepsi and a bag of popcorn.

'Here you go.' I said putting it all on nicks bed

'I don't fancy a movie anymore. I'm just going to go to bed. 'I said trying not to cry.

Nick jumped up and grabbed my arm as I turned to leave.

'What's wrong Lyns?'

'Nothing I'm just tired.' I couldn't stop my self from crying

'Hey come on.' He said hugging me and letting me sit down.

'Why can't I do anything right? Why aren't we ever good enough for him?' I put my head in my hands.

'What did he say?' Nick put his arm round my shoulder knowing instantly who I was talking about.

'Nothing really, he just told me to watch my mouth blah blah, usual shit.'

'Right. I'll go and tell him how much he's upset you.' Nick got up

'No no don't I'll be ok.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yeah come let's watch the movie.' I dried my eyes and sat back

'Lyns, you know you can tell me anything.'

'Yeah I know I can. Thanks nick.' I gave him a big hug

'What was that for?'

'For being my brother.' I giggled

Hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry nothing major is happening yet. I'm trying to establish the characters 1st.
