Chapter 10: No One

Dakota laid fast asleep in her bed with her dog. The sun shone through the windows of the bedroom, boucning off of her hair and making it look almost blonde. She sighed as she rolled over and continued sleeping. Bobby walked into the room and pulled back the curtins. Jack grunted as he sat up in bed.
"Good morning Fairy!" Bobby joked. He ducked as a pillow flew at him. He then bent down and pulled Dakota's dog off the bed. He sat beside her and gently rubbed her back. "Come on sweetie! Get up!" he said softly. Dakota brushed his hand away and pulled the blankets over her head.
"Go the fuck away!" came a muffled reply. Bobby looked at Jack who was trying not to laugh. That little girl seriously had some spunk. Bobby pulled the covers off Dakota and began tickling her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ok I'm up! I'm up! Asshole!" Dakota sqeualed. Bobby pretended to look hurt as she sat up. Dakota rolled her eyes and hugged her brother. Sofi walked into the room and grabbed Dakota off the bed.
"Happy Birtday baby!" She said. Dakota laughed at they spun around and around. Sofi stopped and looked at the little girl in her arms. Dakota wrapped her little hand around Sofi's finger. "Por la vida mommi?" Dakota laughed as Angel, Bobby and Jack looked at them.
"Look La Vida Loca! No one speaks sp..." Bobby began but Dakota cut him off by glaring at him. She then turned back to her sister and smiled.
"Por La Vida!" Dakota replied. Sofi giggled and hugged the little girl tighter. Bobby stared at the two girl as if they were crazy.
"What the fuck does that mean?" he asked. Dakota and Sofi rolled their eyes at him and started whispering to one another. "Hello?" Sofi looked at Bobby and glared.
"It means for life Bobby! Now stop bein' an ass!" Dakota said as Sofi put her down. Angel laughed as his little sister ran out of the room when Bobby jumped of the room. Bobby chased his little sister all the way down stairs and into the kitchen. Dakota stopped when she saw a cake and presents. Jerry, Camille and the girls walked into the room and began singing Happy Birthday to her. Dakota and her family celebrated her thirteenth birthday. It was a day full of happiness. Her brothers were happy that she was growing up now. But that had no idea what was in store for them.

A week later

Dakota ran down the stairs and into the living room. She grabbed her coat off of the couch and looked at her brothers who were all watching TV, except for Jack who was cooking dinner.
"Guys, I'm going to Faye's!" Dakota said. Bobby, Angel and Jerry didn't take their eyes of the TV, but nodded their approval.
"Be home for dinner Dakota!" Jack called from the kitchen. Dakota ran out into the kitchen and hugged her brother. "Ok!" she said. Jack took a good look at his sister and gasped. She smiled before running back into the living room. Jack took off after her. Jerry looked up from the TV as she ran past.
"Excuse me little Miss. What are you wearing?" Jerry asked. Dakota looked down at her outfit. It was a pair off hip huggers with pink lepord print and a white spagetti strap top. Dakota shrugged her shoulders and looked at him. By this time, Angel and Bobby looked up. "Its just jeans and tank top!" Dakota said as she pulled on her blue denim jacket. Jack looked at his little sister and laughed.
"Go take that shirt off! Geez sis, did you have to butter your ass to get it in those jeans? They are way too tight!" Angel said. Dakota gasped and looked at her brothers.
"Sofi wears this kind of stuff!" she defended. Angel just stared at her with disbelief.
"Did La Vida Loca give you that outfit?" Bobby asked. Sofi showed up behind Dakota and stuck her middle finger up at Bobby.
"So what if I did Bobby! She looks good!" Sofi spat. Dakota smiled and high fived her sister.
"You gonna be around any guys?" Jerry asked. Dakota rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"No, its just gonna be me, Amie, Faye and Jojo!" Dakota said. Her brothers looked at her for a couple of minutes.
"Ok, but if I find out you were with boys, your grounded!" Bobby said. This time Sofi and Dakota rolled their eyes.Sofi grabbed her keys off the table.
"Come on! I'll take you!" Sofi said. Dakota waved bye to her brothers and followed Sofi to the car.

Bobby, Jack, Jerry and Angel sat on the couch waiting for Dakota to get home so they could eat. They all sat up when she walked into the room. She smiled at her brothers as she took off her coat.
"I'm so hungry!" she told them. Bobby got up and put an arm around her and pulled her to the dinning room.
"You heard the girl! Lets eat!" Bobby said. They all walked into the dinning room and sat down at the table after saying grace. Jack passed Dakota some mashed potatoes. She took them and put some on her plate before passing them to Angel. Ten minutes later, she pushed away her plate and went into the living room. Grabbing her guitar, which Jack got her, she ploped down on the couch. Jack, Angel, Jerry and Bobby looked at each other as Dakota began to strum a familiar tune. Dakota closed her eyes and put her all into the song.

I am moving through the crowd

Trying to find myself

Feel like a guitar that's never played

Will someone strum away?

Chorus

And I ask myself

Who do I wanna be?

Do I wanna throw away the key?

and invent a whole new me

and I tell myself

No One, No One

Don't wanna be No One But me..

You are moving through the crowd

Trying to find yourself

Feel like a doll left on a shelf

Will someone take you down?

Chorus And you ask yourself

Who do I wanna be?

Do I wanna throw away the key?

and invent a whole new me

Gotta tell yourself

No One,

No One

Don't wanna be No One But me..

Your life plays out on the shadows of the wall

You turn the light on to erase it all You wonder what it's like to not feel worthless

So open all the blinds andclose allcurtains No One,

No One

Don't wanna be No One But me..

When you're moving through the crowd
