Chapter 7
"What happened again?" Lash said driving through the neighbourhood.
"I opened the door,
and there she was."
"Is she you're baby or something?"
"Have you even been listening to anything I have been saying for the past 5 mintues?"
"No not really."
"Then I should answer you." "No, it's not my baby, do you really think I'd have a baby at 11?"
"You have a point." "Alright forget I ever asked you."
"Alright." "But she's my sister, her name's Courtney, and she's 5."
"Are you serious?" Lash said looking back at Courtney in the back seat.
"Yea, that's what she told me."
"That's what kids say, but they new mean it."
"Yes, I do, I'm 5 years old."
"I guess she got the back talking from your dad?"
"No, my brother."
"He doesn't know about her, does he?"
"No, he's still asleep actually." She told Lash, then changed the topic back to Courtney. "So, what do you know about taking care of a five year old?"
"Lots of stuff." "I have to take care of you don't i?"
"Very funny Lash." She said playfully nudging him.
He laughed at the fact actually.
"Um, Taylor, I have to go."
"Go where sweetie?"
"She wants to go to the bathroom."
"How do you know that?"
"Just look at her, she needs to go." Lash said as he looked through the rear view at Courtney.
" Alright, my friends house is near here."
"Alright." Lash said speeding up.
In that 5 minute moment, Courtney went to Taylor's friend's bathroom, while Taylor and Lash waited in the car.
"So when are you getting your license?" Lash asked trying to not remember and absolutely forget that near-possible kiss last night, cause he knew it would never happen.
"I think 2 weeks."
"But you don't have to get it right?"
"What?"
"It's just because, I- I like driving you around…"
"Alirght, maybe I'll ask them for a later date."
"You don't have to do that, you can get my drivers license."
"It's okay, I like driving in your car too." She said smiling, that's when the door opened and Courtney came back into the car.
"Did you go?"
"Yeah. Uh, how much longer is this movie?"
"You told her we were going to a movie?"
"Yeah, if you tell her otherwise, she's gonna cry."
"Well, either she is going to cause when she gets to the you-know-what, and asks for the movie, how are you going to explain that to hear. So fix it."
"Fine." "Courtney." She said moving over to the back seat.
A smile appeared on Lash's face, but then was erased by Taylor's comment.
"I hope you're not thinking what I think."
"No, why'd you think that?" Lash said trying to cover up.
Taylor then looked back at Courtney "Listen, we're not going to a movie, but to a school."
"Why did you change your mind again?"
"Cause you got sad again, so I thought of one of the things I want to do, and it ended up that you liked the same thing, so to get your hopes up, I said we'll go to a movie."
Courtney was silent.
"C'mon Court, cut me some slack, I'm new at this."
"My name isn't Court." She said angry with her, Courtney paid her no mind and looked out the window.
A sigh escaped Taylor's lips as she sat back down in the front seat. "It's no use."
"Can't say I didn't tell you so." Lash said smiling to herself.
"You think this is funny don't you?" she said looking at him.
"No, why'd you think that?" he said erasing the smile on his face, but knew that he couldn't stop laughing inside… For some reason, this was funny beyond reason, and whether they liked it or not, they were blood related, they had to get along sooner or later, and that went for Taylor and Warren also……
