"Put me down you big tub of gue!" Taylor yelled as she pounded her fists against Chad's back.

"Not until you say sorry"

"I have nothing to be sorry about" she answered stopping her pounding only to pinch his butt.

"Hey, that was uncalled for and I hope you know I can do the same" he said patting her butt.

"Chad Michael Danforth get your hands of my ass or I swear to god I'll kick your sorry ass so hard you won't know what hit you"

"Troy tell her to be nice to me or I won't put her down" Chad whined as he turned to Troy who stood behind him laughing his ass of at the scene in front of him.

"Yeah Troy tell me to be nicer to Chad" Taylor said pinching Chad's butt again, Chad jumped slightly almost dropping Taylor "Alright I'm sorry just don't drop me" Chad laughed lightly as he put her down on the ground and held her arms as she swayed a bit.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine just got a little dizzy" she said as he let go of her but still looked concerned "Don't give me that look"

"What look?"

"That look" she exclaimed

"God you're confusing" he said as Troy took Taylor's hand in his and started to lead her through the hallway out to the student parking lot.

"Chad, are you coming or what?" Troy asked as he turned his head side ways to see Chad still standing by the lockers mumbling something to himself "You sure know how to make him think"

"At least someone does then" Taylor said with a shrug of her shoulders as they continued to walk with Chad running after them, he finally caught up to them and walked next to Troy.

"Mom we're home!" Troy yelled as he entered the house with Taylor and Chad not far behind.

"Troy!" Cameron yelled as he came running down the stairs "Chad!"

"Cam my man, long time no see" Chad said high-fiving the boy after he sat his over night bag down by the door.

"Are you staying the night?" he asked with a smile.

"Sure am"

"Are you staying too?" he asked Taylor the smile gone from his face, Taylor shook her head no and the smile was almost instantly back on his lips "Can we play basketball?"

"Sure, come on man you need to show me what Troy has taught you since the last time we played" Chad said as he was lead out of the hallway and into the kitchen by a very excited Cameron.

"If you'll just give me my history book I'll be on my way" Taylor said as the two were alone in the hallway.

"Alright, I think it's in the kitchen" Troy said and the two made their way there, she stopped in the doorway as he made his way to the counter and found the book on top of the microwave. He handed it back to her and followed her to the front door expecting a kiss before she left "You don't have to leave" he said holding on to her belt loop so she couldn't leave.

"No I do and you need to spend some time with Cameron, I think he misses having you around"

"What makes you think that?" he asked looking confused.

"You've been spending a lot of time with me and I think he's starting to become jealous and believe me the last thing I need is a angry 8 year old to worry about. So please spend some time with him I think he just needs a little of your attention" she said kissing him softly on the lips before stepping away from him and walking around the wall to her own house.

"She's a keeper" his mom said as he turned around.

"Like I didn't already know that" he said closing the door and walking through the kitchen out to the backyard where Chad and Cameron were busy shooting some hoops "Hey pass me the ball would yah!"

-----

That night it was decided that the guys in the house, that being Troy, Chad and Cameron, had a slumber party in Troy's room watching cartoons and eating junk food.

"Pass me the chips" Chad demanded from where he was sitting on the mattress, on the floor, he would be sleeping on in front of the bed. Cameron crawled across the bed and handed the bowl to Chad who took a handful and then gave it back to Cameron who crawled all the way back up to the headboard and sat next to Troy. A few minutes later Chad left the room to go to the bathroom, something about the last coca cola bottle.

"Cam" the little boy looked up at Troy with curious eyes "Why don't you like Taylor?" there was silence for awhile.

"I just don't"

"You used to love Taylor, what happened?"

"You're always with her and you don't have time for me anymore" he said looking down at his hands.

"Cam you know that's not true"

"Yes it is! You're always somewhere with Taylor, you're never home and when you are she's here too"

"Why didn't you tell me you felt this way?"

"I don't know"

"Okay, so how do we solve this, how do we make you fell like you're not left out…I know we set aside a day of the week where there's only you and me, no Taylor only you and me hanging out" Troy said wrapping an arm around his little brother and looking down on him, Cameron nodded furiously "So which day of the week, Sunday? You know they have those special cartoon marathons in the morning on the cable"

"That works for me"

"That works for you huh? Well does this work for you then" Troy said as he tickled Cameron who squealed and squirmed

"What's going on in here?" Jack asked as he poked his head in through the doorway.

"Nothing, just some brotherly bonding" Troy laughed as Cameron twisted and turned trying to get away from Troy while laughing his head of.
