Chapter 12 – Moving

Kira woke up and realised that it was the day that she would be moving in with Conner and Pam, and Jade would be moving in with Neil. She got dressed and headed to Neil's room to wake him up.

She knocked on the door and heard a faint, "Come in, Kira."

"Good morning, Dear Brother!"

Neil groaned and said, "What are you doing up this early?"

"Jade's moving in here today and I'm moving in with Conner this weekend, so get your butt in gear and get up!"

"OK, OK. I'm up. Go and fix breakfast till I get dressed."

"OK. Bossy boots."

Kira laughed and went downstairs to fix the breakfast for them.

About twenty minutes later, Kira was just finishing her breakfast when the doorbell rang. She went to answer it and when she did, she saw Jade and David Spencer standing on the other side.

"Hey Jade, Mr. Spencer."

"Hey Kira. Dad, this is Kira, Neil's twin sister and soon to be my sister-in-law."

"Hello Kira."

"Come in. Would you like a cup of tea Mr. Spencer?"

"Yes please, Kira."

"OK, have a seat in the living room and I'll bring it through to you. Jade?"

"No thanks Kira, can I have a glass of juice please?"

"Sure, you know where everything is. Mr. Spencer, how do you take your tea?"

"Milk and four sugars please Kira, and call me David."

"OK. Be right back."

She headed into the kitchen to make the tea for David.

When it was ready, she took it back through to him and said, "I'll be back down in a minute. I'm just going to see if that lazy brother of mine is up yet."

She headed up stairs and knocked on Neil's door. She got no answer, so she went in, only to find him still asleep.

She went over to the bed and shook him, but he still didn't wake up. She shook him harder and said in his ear, "Neil! Wake up! There's a fire in the house!"

Neil awoke with a start and said, "OK. Let's get out of here. Phone the fire brigade Sis."

He looked up and saw Kira laughing. "Very funny Sis. Now, can I go back to sleep?"

"No. Jade's downstairs along with David."

"WHAT?" Jade's here? Already?"

"Yep, now you gonna move it or do I have to go to extreme measures known as getting a bucket of ice cold water and dump it over you?"

"You wouldn't dare. Anyway, I'll be down in five minutes."

"OK."

Kira headed back downstairs and said to Jade and David, "He fell back asleep, but he'll be down in five minutes."

They nodded. Just then Kira's phone rang. She looked at the display and it read 'Conner'.

"Hey Baby."

"Hey Babe. Just to let you know that I'm up now so if you want, I can come over and get your stuff."

"No, it's OK, Baby. Just you wait in the house and I'll come over with it all."

"OK. See you when you come home Babe."

"Home. I like the sound of that. I'll see you then Baby."

"Bye Babe."

"Bye Baby."

Kira hung up the phone and said, "Jade, do you want to help me pack up my stuff?"

"Sure. How are you gonna get it all over to Conner's?"

"I'll walk."

"Kira, you don't have to walk. That's why I've got the van."

"Are you sure, David?"

"Positive."

"OK. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now you and Jade get started."

"OK. Come on Jade."

Kira and Jade headed up to Kira's room to get started on the packing.

Neil walked past the open door the open door of Kira's room and said, "So Sis, finally got started then? Do you want a hand?"

Kira looked up. "No thanks Bro. Jade's helping me. You go downstairs and keep David company."

"OK." Neil headed downstairs and the girls resumed packing.

"This is gonna take a while, Kira. We need help."

"OK, I'll call the other girls."

Kira proceeded to phone the girls. The first person that she called was Hayley.

"Hey Hayls."

"Hey Kira, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you and the other two girls want to help Jade and I pack up my room."

"Sure, we'll be right over. The boys can keep out of our way. We'll be there in about ten minutes."

"OK, Hayls. Thanks, bye."

"Bye."

Kira hung up the phone and said to Jade, "They'll be here in about ten minutes."

"OK."

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang and Neil answered it and saw all of his friends except Conner.

"Hey guys. Come on in. What are you all doing here?"

Leanne answered for all of them. "Hey Neil. The boys are gonna sit with you and us girls are going to help Kira pack."

"OK, Leanne."

The girls headed upstairs to help Kira.

"Hey girls. Come in."

"Thanks Kira. So, where do we start?" Sam replied.

x

In no time at all, Kira's stuff was all packed and ready to go.

"Why should we carry these boxes downstairs to the van when we have four strapping boys downstairs doing nothing?"

"Quite right Leanne."

"What shall we do Kira?"

"Leave it to me Sam."

Kira turned to the door and yelled, "BOYS! GET UP HERE NOW OR ELSE!"

Downstairs, Neil heard his sister shout and turned to the rest and said, "I wonder what's going on?"

"Shall we ignore them Neil?"

"Gaz, if do that, my sister will come down here and drag us upstairs. Need I remind you all that your girlfriends are up there as well as my fiancé?"

Gary sighed and turned to Ethan and said, "Neil's right. Leanne would kill me if I didn't help."

"Neil, just ignore them, I'll deal with Hayley and the girls."

"Tommy, are you sure that's wise?"

"Trust me."

x

Meanwhile upstairs, the girls were waiting for the boys to come and help.

"I don't believe this! I'm going to kill Neil!"

"Kira, calm down. We'll get this stuff moved, even if we have to do it ourselves."

"Hayley, you're right, but I'm still gonna kill my twin brother!"

All the girls tried to calm Kira down and eventually succeeded.

"OK, Kira. Let's get started moving these boxes. I'll go down and tell my dad to get the van ready."

"Thanks Jade."

Jade left the room and went downstairs to tell her dad.

"Hey Jade, are you girls ready?"

"Hey Dad. Can you get the van ready please?"

"Sure."

With that, David headed outside to wait in the van and Jade headed back upstairs.

"Kira, we'll take your clothes down first, that way, the fragile things aren't going to get damaged."

"OK. I'll go down first."

Kira headed downstairs and didn't notice that a piece of carpet was loose. All of a sudden, she fell to the horror of the girls who were standing watching.

"KIRA!" They all shouted and ran downstairs to check on her.

x

The boys were watching TV when they heard they girls shout Kira's name. Neil went out of the living room to see what was wrong and noticed Kira was lying unconscious at the bottom of the stairs.

"OH SHIT! Sis, talk to me. Can you hear me?"

He looked at the girls and asked, "What happened?"

"She tripped over a piece of loose carpet, Neil."

"Thanks Sam."

He called to the boys and they came out to the hall. Neil turned to them and said, "take care of the girls, comfort them. I'm gonna phone an ambulance."

He did so and within a few minutes, the ambulance arrived and paramedics placed Kira on a gurney.

"Go to Jade's. I'll call you with news."

They all nodded and headed to David's van and explained everything.

Neil locked the door and said to the paramedics, "I'm coming with you. I'm her twin brother and my Mum and Dad are on their Honeymoon."

They nodded and Neil climbed into the ambulance.

x

Within minutes, they had arrived at the hospital and Kira was taken straight to Resuscitation

Within minutes, she woke up.

She looked around and said, "Neil?"

The nurses realised she meant her twin, so they brought him in to Resuscitation for to see Kira.

"Kira?"

"Bro, where am I? What's happened?"

"Easy sis. You're in hospital. You fell downstairs after you tripped over the carpet."

"Oh. Where are Mum and Dad?"

"Mum and Dad are on their Honeymoon in Paris, remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"I'm sorry Sis. If we had have come upstairs when you called us, you would have been fine."

"Bro, come here."

Neil came closer to the bed and Kira took his hand.

"You've nothing to worry about. If I had have just asked you to help with the boxes instead of yelling, I would not have been angry and I would have seen where I was going."

Neil nodded, but still felt guilty.

"NEIL MATTHEW MCBRIDE! Wipe that guilty look off your face right now! I'm not blaming you. We should have checked the carpet."

Neil sighed. "You're right Sis."

x

The nurse came in and said, "We'll send you for an X-Ray, but I suspect your leg is broken."

Kira nodded and the nurse sent them to X-Ray.

x

About half an hour later, they were put in a cubicle and the nurse came back with the results of the X-Ray.

"It's just as I thought. You're leg is broken. We'll get a cast on it and you're free to go home."

Neil looked at Kira and said, "I'll call Conner to pick us up, and the boys and I will get the rest of your stuff moved into Conner's for you and then move Jade in. You just rest."

"OK. Thanks, Big Brother."

"You're welcome, Baby Sister."

Neil went outside and dialled Conner's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Con."

"Hey Neil, what's up? I take it Kira's ready to come home to my house with her stuff?"

"That's what I'm calling you for."

"Oh?"

"Can you pick Kira and I up at the hospital and take us back to your house?"

"Sure. Is everything OK?"

"No, Kira's leg is broken."

"WHAT? What happened?"

"She tripped on the stair carpet and fell down the stairs."

"OK. I'll be there soon. What about her stuff?"

"I told her that the boys and I would move it."

"I'm in. OK. See you soon. Bye."

Neil hung up the phone and went back to Kira and reported that Conner was on his way to pick them up.

x

A few minutes later, they were outside waiting for Conner. Just then, his red Mustang pulled up.

"Hey Babe. Neil."

"Hey Baby."

"Hey Con."

x

About half an hour later, they pulled up outside Conner's house. Conner opened the car door for Kira and helped her inside.

He kissed her on the lips and said, "I'm gonna help Neil and the boys get your things and I'm sure that the girls will move them in for you."

Kira nodded and the two boys left.

x

They came back within three hours and the girls set to work moving Kira's things in and sorting them out.

Neil turned to Kira and said, "Jade's moved in as well. It's just Mum's things to move."

"She'll get them when she comes home."

"I know. Anyway, Sis, Jade and I had better get going. See you soon, Sis."

"See ya Bro."

The girls all said goodbye and then they and the boys left.

Kira turned to Conner and asked, "Baby, where is Pam?"

"I don't know."

Just then, the phone rang and Kira answered it.

"Hello?"

"Kira? Is that you?"

"Yeah Pam."

"OK. Can you please tell Conner that I won't be coming home tonight as I am staying with my sister, Sharon, as I have had a few drinks and am unable to drive."

"OK. Hold a second."

"Baby, it's your mum on the phone. She wants me to tell you that she won't be coming home tonight as she is staying with a friend of hers as she had had a few drinks and is unable to drive."

"Does she want me to pick her up?"

Kira turned back to the conversation with Pam and asked, "Conner is wondering if you want him to come and pick you up."

"No it's OK. I'll be home tomorrow."

"OK Pam. I'll tell him. Hold a minute."

She turned to Conner and said, "No, she says it's OK and she'll come home tomorrow."

"OK."

Kira took her hand back off the mouthpiece of the receiver and said, "He says OK Pam."

"Thanks Kira. See you tomorrow."

"You're welcome. OK. See you tomorrow."

Kira hung up the phone and turned to Conner and said, "Let's get to bed. It's getting late Baby."

Conner agreed and carried Kira upstairs to his room.

When they entered his room, he placed her on the bed and he said to her, "the girls have put all your stuff here, so I hope that you don't mind."

"Of course not Baby. We'll be sharing a bed when we marry anyway, so it doesn't matter." She brought his head down to hers for a kiss. She pulled back a few minutes later and said, "Let's get to bed Baby."

Conner left the room so that Kira could get ready for bed. A few minutes later she called him back in and he got himself ready for bed. Conner then lifted back the covers and placed Kira in the bed and joined her.
