Chapter 8
Maria was having trouble sleeping-due to her nightmares. Her dad wasn't going to be home until tomorrow.
She was about to walk out of her bedroom, when hearing voices coming into the apartment-grabs a plastic hockey stick in her hands and walked out of her bedroom.
James, Kendall, Logan and Carlos were actually home early. They wanted to see their family and friends. Plus figure out which kid told Maria about not having a mom in her life to begin with.
What they didn't count on was Maria slamming the hockey stick on them.
"Get! Out of my house, or else have Nana called the cops"yelled Maria angrily slamming her stick on the boys.
Katie was coming out of the bathroom and saw Maria hitting the boys and yelling about calling the cops.
Since it was dark in the apartment the boys couldn't see who was hitting them in the face.
"Katie! This isn't funny"said James trying to comb his hair.
Katie turns on the lights and watchs the reactions on her brothers faces. "Sorry! To say I'm not the one whose hitting on you guys"said Katie turning the lights now.
Kendall and Logan turns towards Maria who is standing there of course. Surprised that her dad and uncles were home early.
"I'm sorry I didn't think you would be home until tomorrow"said Maria who is shaking.
"Maria! Why are you still up this late?"asked Jennifer walking into the room.
Maria turns twoards her Nana standing there in her pjs. "Had a nightmare again, was going to sleep in Uncle Bear's and Daddy's bedroom"cried Maria.
Both Kendall and Logan dropped their bags on the floor and scooped Maria in their arms. Both of them saying good night to the others who were standing there.
"We will take Maria in our room"said Logan grabbing his bags and Kendall.
Kendall already had Maria in his arms.
Katie turning towards Carlos and James who were still standing there. Ms. Knight had gone back to bed.
"Katie! Do you know what happen to Maria, when we are away?"asked Carlos who was sitting on the couch.
Katie turns towards James and Carlos who were both sitting on the couch. "Yes! Maria told me who the kid was, if that's what your wondering about"said Katie walking towards her room.
