Chapter 2
Alex groaned in the back as Eamon and Adam pushed against him and Will , who were stuck sharing a seat in the middle. Ren was stuck in the back with Lucas and their dog, Leo, and Jake was in the front with their mother. "Mum, they're doing it again!" shouted Will. Ren kicked him through the gap between their two seats. "Shut up, rat!" Their mother gave a sigh. "Ren, don't kick your brother, no matter how much you want to. Will , I'd get on your brother's good side while you can, Eamon and Adam, I'm warning you for the last time……. We're going to pick your father up smiling happily. We haven't seen him in two months. That means no FIGHTING!"
Alex bit his lip. Their mother never usually got angry, but there father had been representing their government in a poor country. He was excited to see him again. There was an awkward silence. It was broken by Jake turning around and speaking. "You guys, and girl, should be a bit more considerate. I am shocked," he murmured. Alex blushed. Ren gave a loud, disbelieving noise.
"Ha! Your only saying that because you don't want to get stuck between me and Lucas on the way back. You just as immature as me. Well…On some level you are. I remember you before these idiots were around." Jake scowled at her. Alex laughed. Eamon and Adam looked at him , eyes wide. Will elbowed him. Alex winced at Jake's piercing gaze. He forgot Ren was the only one who ever spoke back to Jake and wasn't killed.
They were interrupted by the car pulling into a car parking space at the airport. Leo gave an excited bark from Lucas' lap. "Finally!" said Lucas. They filed out of the car. Ren came and stood beside him. He was so much younger than the rest of them, that he found it hard to follow their conversations. They followed there mother towards the airport.
"I hate airports…"growled Ren. Alex shook his head. "Ren, that's a ridiculous fear. Airports, for god's sake!" he sighed. She glared at him. "its better than being scared of butterflies." Alex grinned. "That's Will, not me," he laughed. She shrugged. "I know. And I don't fear airports, I just dislike being treated like a cow in a herd." He laughed again. They walked into the arrivals building. There was one large doorway, a cafeteria and some shops, including a games arcade. Ren walked with Jake to the shop and Eamon, Adam and Lucas walked to the games arcade. Will went and waited at the large doorway, and Alex went with his mother to sit down.
He watched his siblings from his seat. "Why don't you join them?" his mother asked gently. He looked at her. "I don't want my as- but kicked in the arcade and I don't want to give Jake the chance to kill me. I'll join them later," he explained. "What about Will?" Alex blushed and stared at his tattered converse uncomfortably. " We…don't get on too well." His mother ruffled his hair. "You'd want to make an effort with your brother and sister Alex. They won't be around here for long. Jake will go to college. Ren will probably become well known and famous, knowing her, Lucas will become the great hockey player, Will…. Whatever he wants, the twins .. Something unusual, and then you'll be stuck with your father and I." He nodded. "I know. But that won't be for ages. They won't leave yet."
She hugged him. "I know that, but I would still treasure your time with them. I'm an only child. You don't know how lucky you are to have them.." They were interrupted by a voice announcing his fathers flight. His siblings ran over to them as the doors opened………..
