So, I thought i'd go a different route and do this chapter from Kelsey's POV. It was fun creating her personality. Anyway, to answer your question of LB2 it was cheesy and the plot went too fast but Autumn did a good job for the most part. Oh and about this story you know these girls are part Townsends of course their going to think something up!
Chapter 4
I refuse to let my parents do this. I refuse to let daddy marry Rebecca and I refuse to let mom let daddy get away. Sure, she's the one who left so technically he let her get away but still, that's completely not my point here. My point here is I need my parents to be together. I need us to be a full family again. My sisters and I deserve a mom and a dad, our mom and dad, together. I refuse to let all of this just get by me. I need a plan and fast.
She's Taylor Townsend and he's Ryan Atwood, according to Aunt Summer they are meant for each other. I can see it in daddy's eyes when he looks at Rebecca that he doesn't really love her. He gets this twinkle in his eyes when he's sees mom or someone even mentions her name. So, I know he still loves her as much as she still loves him.
I've always known my parents were supposed to be together. To be honest at a young age I could see the love in both of their eyes when they even stole a glance at each other. I just wish I could see that everyday now.
So, that's when I decided to come up with a plan. I'd need help. From Jory and Millie mainly but I'm sure Aunt Sumer will help out, I'm pretty sure Grandma Kiki wouldn't protest my little plan either. She says all of the time that Rebecca Long is nowhere near the woman for daddy. She's barely a woman, she's only ten years older than I am and 15 years younger than daddy.
I can't sleep. I've been tossing and turning in my bed for two hours trying to figure out how I'm going to ruin this wedding; make daddy realize he's supposed to be with us and only us. I guess mom needs to realize she needs to do something about it, too. But she's scared. She's always been scared.
Mom has always taught us to stand up for what we believe in. She says if we think something then we should stick by it. She says we're stronger that way. I don't know if she lives by that though. Although with us she does, the woman says anything that comes to her mind. Sometimes I'm glad that I'm more like daddy than I am her.
I knock softly on Jory's bedroom door. I need to talk to her. Even though my sister and I are complete opposites she's my best friend. I count on her to help me through most everything that goes on in my life. I'm met with a flying pillow as I open the door.
"Kelsey, it's too late for one of your compelling talks." She mumbles against the pillow that's being pushed forcefully against her face. I laugh a little. Apparently I do this a lot.
"Come on, Jordyn you know you love these talks." I walk over to her bed. She instantly moves over to let me get in next to her.
"Call me that again and you're dead." She lifts her head up scowling at me.
"I need your help." I say.
"With?" She questions.
"Operation ruin daddy's wedding and make him realize he's supposed to be with mom." I say all in one breath. Jory gives me a strange look like what I just said hadn't registered in her head just yet.
"So you wake me up at 2 am to ask me to help you with this stupid operation when I have to get up for school in four freaking hours?" She's annoyed already.
"That's exactly what I'm doing." I say confidently.
"Screw you, Kelsey. I'm going back to sleep." With that my younger sister bumped me off of her bed where I landed on the floor with a loud thud. "Good night big sister."
"At least tell me you're in." I say.
"I'm in." Good. I need Jory for this to work. Now all I need is Millie's brain and I'm good. I know she'll be awake. Even if she does fall asleep while watching movies the girl can't sleep for more than three hours at a time. It's unhealthy but if she didn't do it like that then she wouldn't be Millicent Summer Atwood.
"I know you're up." I open her door without knocking.
"Of course I'm up. The question is why are you up? You're the hardest person to wake up in the mornings." She says matter-of-factly. My family knows me far too well.
"That doesn't matter. I need your brain." I smiled deviously.
"For?" She puts the book she has been reading face down to save her page.
"Plotting!" I say excitedly.
"You want to plot at 2 in the morning?" She looks at me like I'm crazy.
"What's so wrong with now?" I shrug sitting down on the edge of her bed.
"It's 2 in the morning, that's what's wrong! My brain doesn't work at this hour." She says. She's lying. Millie's brain never shuts off. The girls too smart for her own good. It's a little freaky sometimes to hear her speak.
"It's too early to plot operation ruin daddy's wedding?" I say hoping she'll agree to help me out.
"Way too early. Kelsey, give it all a rest. Daddy knows what he's doing." She says.
"God, Millie how can you not see that he's unhappy?!"
"I can see it but daddy's a big boy he can handle himself but…I'm in." She smiles. I knew Millie wouldn't turn this down! As nice of a kid she is I know she hates Rebecca as much as we do, besides that I know she wants mom and daddy together after all they had divorced just days before she was born.
"Awesome!" I reach over and hug her.
"On one condition, we finish this when our minds are more clear."
"Got it." I laugh kissing my baby sister's cheek before getting up from her bed.
"Mom's unhappy too isn't she?" She questions.
"Very." I say to her.
"Thought so." She shrugs before picking her book back up and shoving her nose back into it.
