Sorry I haven't updated in quite some time. I know I've tortured a friend of mine who's dying to read this new chapter. I'm sorry ahaha.

Anyways, I wrote this in school when I was in school, having a free period. I only had 20 minutes to type this whole thing out, so I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes or wrong sentence structures. Heh.

So enjoy :)

Dear diary,
I've been living with the Mercers for over 3 months now. I love it here, it's really cool. I've got 3 big brothers, who are so protective of me; especially Bobby. Jack's out with Cass, I think. Something tells me he likes her more than just a friend hehe.

Angel's out with Sofi, and Bobby is at the hockey rink.

I've got a secret to tell you, which involves Bobby…

On Friday, Hunter walked me home from school, cause Jerry couldn't come pick me up. When we stepped onto the front porch, Hunter stood really close to me. I admit, I think Hunter is really cute.

I didn't know Bobby was watching us from the inside. Hunter made me blush by smiling at me, and he suddenly leaned forward as if to kiss my cheek. The door immediately slammed open, and Bobby looked really red. He was tryin' to control his temper in front of Hunter, but said in a very threatening tone, "You best walk away from here now before you end up in a wheelchair."

Bobby's so mean!! I could have gotten my first peck on the cheek, but Bobby ruined it. He's so mean.

Anyways, I hear Ma calling me to help her wash the dishes. School tomorrow… I hope Hunter won't treat me differently… I'll apologize to him tomorrow :)

Angie slammed her little diary close and hopped down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and saw Evelyn smiling warmly at her. She smiled back, "Evening, Ma".

"Hello, sweetheart," Evelyn greeted her, and handed her a wet cloth, "Wash these dishes, dry them and stack them neatly on the rack, alright?" Angie nodded, and start scrubbing the dishes. Evelyn sat at the table and started on her knitting, while observing Angie.

She was such a bright little girl. She knew many things girls her age around the area didn't. She read quite a number of Jerry's classic books and she now knew how to cook and play a bit of guitar. Angel had taught her how to do Sudoku and after three days of learning it, she could solve a problem in less than 5 minutes. She was a fast learner.

The front door was heard being opened, and closed, followed by a lock. Two male voices could be heard distantly.

Bobby and Jack were home.
So they were at the hockey rink together... Angie thought.

"Hey Ma," Bobby walked in, followed by Jack and kissed Evelyn on the cheek. Evelyn smiled at him, and touched his cheek, "Hello, Bobby and Jack." Jack smiled at her, "Hi, Ma." Bobby looked at Angie who had her back facing him. He grinned. He winked at Jack, who shook his head, and poked her sides from behind. Angie yelped and dropped a dish. It fell to the cement floor and broke into several pieces. "Bobby!!" Angie yelled, her usually pale face turning a bright red. Jack cracked up laughing and Bobby jumped away, laughing his ass off. Evelyn gave him a disapproving look. "Look what you made me do, Bobby!" Angie shouted, glaring at him. Jack chuckled, which made Angie even more furious. "Jack, it's not funny, damn it!" Angie growled. Bobby stuck his tongue out at her, "Yes, it is, and oo you swore!" Angie shuddered angrily, "I'm living with you. Of course I would be swearing!"

Evelyn frowned, "Angie, enough. Bobby, apologize."

Bobby grinned mischieviously, "She's just pissed at me for chasing away that guy who walked her home that day."

"What boy?" Jack's eyebrow raised, a small smile appearing on his face. Angie's cheeks flushed, "No one." She bent down to pick up what was left of the broken dish and threw them into the trash can. "Some guy named Hunter. Walked the girl home and was gonna peck her on the cheek until I interrupted them," Bobby said, opening the fridge and took out a bottle of beer. Angie gaped, "How do you know his name?!"

Bobby winked at her, "I know everyone in Detroit, kid," and walked off into the living room.

Evelyn chuckled at the expression on Angie' face. Jack walked up to her, draping an arm around her shoulder, "Come on, cheer up." Angie faced him and startled him by hugging him. She buried her face into his chest. Jack's eyes widened a little, but wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly. "Why must Bobby be so mean?" Angie mumbled into his chest. Jack bit his lip, trying to think of an answer. "Bobby's an ass, that's why."

Angie giggled. Evelyn smiled at the sight of them. It was really sentimental, to see a brother and sister embracing.

He had his arms around her shoulders, and resting his chin on her head. She had her arms around his waist, and her hands were holding each other. It was really a touching sight.

Angie pulled away and smiled up at him, "I love you, Jack." He smiled back, ruffling up her hair, "Love you too, Angie. Wanna go up and play with my guitar?" Angie's chocolate eyes shone and she nodded excitedly, "Yes!" Jack held her by the hand and tugged her along.

They ran up the stairs.

"You know, the way those two act… makes me think wrong thoughts," Bobby called out to Evelyn. The chattering from upstairs stopped abrutbly.

"I heard that Bobby!!!!" both Angie and Jack yelled.

Evelyn chuckled.

Another night at the Mercer's house, she smiled to herself.

NEXT MORNING

"Jack," Angel's voice came from behind the door, "Someone's here."

Jack rolled over in bed and groaned, "Tell whoever it is to come back in 3 hours time." He heard Angel walking away, and heard him telling that person to just wait for a few minutes. He looked at his wrist-watch and saw that it was 7.00a.m. on the dot. Angie slowly sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. Jack opened one eye, and watched her. She blindly got out of bed and took out a pair of clean clothes out from her drawer and dumped it on her bed. She dragged her feet across the room and walked out the door. Jack smiled, and closed his eyes again, snuggling against his pillow, falling asleep again. He heard the water running next door and after 15 minutes, it stopped. There was suddenly a soft thud. "Ffff- damn!" he heard Angie's muffled voice. He felt a grin spread onto his face. Angie then came back draped in a towel, wet hair clinging to her face.


[A/N: It's normal and comfortable for the both of them already. In the movie, the Mercer brothers shared a bathroom all at once. So why not in this one?

"What happened?" Jack muttered, eyes closed. "I slipped," Angie sheepishly said. Jack could imagine her blushing. He chuckled softly and rolled over, lying on his stomach now.

Suddenly, the door burst open. "Jack, buddy! Hey! Remember me? Iiii- oh. Um. Hey. Girl. Uh. Hi."

If it was even possible, Angie's face turned paler than usual.

Jack frowned and opened his eyes.
He gaped.

"Kyle?" Jack gaped.

[A/N: Felt like leaving a cliffy, but decided to write more :)

Kyle's eyes darted from Angie to Jack, then back and forth again, like he was watching a tennis match. "I'll… wait outside."

He closed the door. Few seconds later, he could be heard going down the stairs.

Angie shuddered, "Who was that?" Jack sat up in bed and faced the wall, giving Angie some privacy to wear her clothes as usual. His hands clenched into fists, and his fist was so balled up you could see his veins. "Trust me, Angie. Stay away from him. He's bad news," he growled. Angie zipped up her jeans and threw on her socks. Jack turned around and stripped his shirt off, changing into a new one.

Angie wrinkled her nose, "Aren't you going to shower? We've got school in 30 minutes."

Jack grabbed his comb off the table and looked into the mirror, fixing his hair, "Nah, Angie. I smell good anyways."

Angie and Jack went down, laughing and chatting together. Kyle was sitting in the living room, and watching television with Bobby, who was lying on the couch with his feet up.
"So how do you know Jack?" Bobby grunted.

"We used to be friends."
"Used to?"
"Long story."

Bobby shrugged it off.

Jack walked into the living room, his expression turning serious. He stood in front of Kyle, and Kyle stood up. They shook hands.
"Peterson." Jack solemnly said Kyle's surname.

"Mercer." Kyle nodded.

"Hold on," Jack told him, and walked to Angie, "Hey sweetheart, you go off to school, alright? I'll see you sometime then." Behind Jack, Angie could see Kyle raised an eyebrow. "Um… ok." Angie nodded.

She went into the kitchen and ate her breakfast. Jack heard Angel greeting Angie and Jerry was talking to Evelyn about politics. Bobby lied on the couch like the lazy ass he was.

Facing Kyle, he growled, "What do you want, Peterson?"
Kyle smiled, "Let's take this outside."

Ahaha

Peterson is actually the name of my good friend's friend. :)
So do review and tell me how you like it.

Any requests? I'll gladly take them and think of them and ways to add them to the story.
I could even make you a character in this fic if you review enough ;)
