A new chapter! At last! Yay!

Chapter 4

The stairs were silent as I climbed towards our given room. I had run down to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. I returned to an empty room. "Big?" I asked confused, looking around. The bed was empty, but his clothing remained where it had been tossed earlier.

"I'm in here kid." Came his voice from the bathroom. I slowly walked towards the door that was left open a jar. Big was… sitting in the bathtub… and his mother was there? WHAT THE HELL!

"Oh my God!" I shot up so fast in the bed that I almost fell out of it.

"What is it kid?" Big asked, having been woken by my sudden movements.

"Nothing… nothing… just a bad dream…" I muttered, catching my breath.

"Well you might want to go back to sleep, long day tomorrow with all of my relatives coming. Oh, just so you know, watch Uncle Jack he has a tendency to get friendly when the booze comes out."

"As long as there is booze tomorrow." I chided.

"It won't be that bad, the twins will probably drag you away."

"There are twins in your family?" I asked shocked.

"Oh yeah, Katie and Kitty."

"Her legal name is Kitty?"

"Sadly it is. My aunt was still a little dazed from the drugs when it came time to name them."

"So, back to bed."

"If you don't mind." We lay back down and went to sleep. The next morning there was a knock on the door. "What time?" I asked, not able to form full sentences.

"Early" John muttered, rolling out of the bed.

"Why aren't you up yet?" His mother demanded.

"Because it's 6:30 in the morning."

"Family is arriving today. Get ready and come down to breakfast. Oh, good morning Carrie."

"Morning." I managed, not being able to sit up or open my eyes.

"We'll be down shortly mother." John said then closed the door. "Guess we should get up."

"Probably. Can you just pull me up?" He laughed then came over to my side of the bed and helped me sit up. "Hey, did you really tell me that you have a cousin name Kitty last night? Or did was that just part of my nightmare?"

"Nope, that was real." He grinned.

"It's going to be a long day." I muttered as I walked to the bathroom.

Alright, that's all for now reviews? Heh heh, that dream thing was pretty funny, eh? Saw a little Bunny/Trey flashback there.
