Chapter 12
Front of Apartment building- Beck's POV
"What do you mean no West's live here?" Andre questioned.
"I mean no West's live here," the doorman told us slowly like we were three.
"Are you sure?" I questioned, "Jade West, black hair, blue eyes, eyebrow and nose piercing, may have her little sisters with her," I described Jade while using bazar hand motions.
"Oh them go that way," the doorman instructed, "and go down the alley and knock at the superintendent's door."
We all looked at each other but then followed the man's instructions and went to the super's door. When we got there we could hear screaming, yelling, crying and music. Cat went up and knocked on the door then ran back to us. A few minutes later a boy with really pale skin, pale blue eyes, brown hair wearing yellow skinny jeans, purple sweater, baby blue scarf, and baby blue converse answered the door.
Five Minutes Earlier- Jim's POV
Ok, I may not like Jade per say, ok she terrifies me, but she's really good with these kids.
Right now Jade's upstairs sleeping and downstairs is a complete disaster zone. Noah is bouncing on the dining room table; Carson is playing on of Brett's Madden game on the TV. Lilac, Molly, and Seirra are watching Kipper on the small TV in the kitchen. Will, Lily, and Avery are watching Carson play Madden. Brett is throwing the football in the house again. Millie and Junnette are doing each other's nails. Marie is out with Sinjin somewhere, and Stevie is with Naya somewhere else. Ryan, Jessica, Peyton, and Mel are playing their instruments somewhere in the house. May is up in her by herself, again. What am I doing you may ask, trying not to get a headache and wishing Jade would get better because I can't take it anymore.
Out of nowhere somebody rang the doorbell so I went to the front door and opened it, outside stood a group of five teenagers.
Beck's POV
"Um, hey this is really not a good time right now, the house is kind of hectic," the guy told us then went to shut the door.
"Wait," I caught the door before it closed all the way, "we were just wondering if Jade West was here."
"Yeah, but she's upstairs sleeping because she's sick, that's actually why everything is a mess right now," I guy answered.
"Well, can we go see her?" Beck asked the guy, "We wanna talk to her."
The guy groaned, "Fine, come in," He led them in and they saw the hyper kids running around everywhere, "Sorry, their all just, crazy."
"Yeah..."Beck trailed off, "Um, why are there so many people here?" Beck asked, "Who are they? Well, I know some of them but they seem to live here."
"Oh, Jade never told you? Well you see-." That's when all the familiar girls ran up to them and cut him off.
"This is Amanda and Kyle's house, they are all staying here because their parents are out of town," Jessica interrupted the boy, "right Jim?" she then questioned the boy I'm now assuming is Jim.
"Yeah, sure," he replied in a questioning tone, and then walked off to some unknown room. I turned to ask the girls if we could go see Jade when I heard someone call my name.
"BECK!" I heard a little voice call from the other room, and then two seconds later I had three pairs of arms wrapped around my legs.
"Hey you guys," I commented then bent down and picked Seirra up, she automatically started playing with my hair; she is a lot like her sister. I turned around to find Molly in Andre's arms and Lilac in Tori's arms.
"What are you guys up to?" Andre questioned the little girls.
"We were watching Kipper on the small TV in the kitchen," Lilac said.
"Yeah, cause Carson is playing a game in the living room," Seirra added.
Out of nowhere a football came flying over our heads only to knock over a glass vase and for it to shatter all over the floor.
"SHIT!" someone yelled from upstairs, and then a boy with jet black hair and baby blue eyes came running down stairs.
"Jadey is going to be really mad," Seirra commented from her place in my arms while looking down at the glass on the floor.
"No she won't know it was me because you three are not going to tell her right," the boy said turning to the three girls, each in one of are sets of arms.
"If she doesn't ask we won't tell, but we don't lie to Jadey, Brett," Lilac told the boy that's name is apparently Brett.
"Fine," Brett said then went over to his ball and picked it up then went upstairs.
"Can you put me down please?" Lilac questioned Tori, so she put her down only for her to let out an ear piercing scream and start crying.
"What happened?" I questioned the small girl, she looked down at her feet and I realized she didn't have any shoes on and she stepped on a piece of glass, there was blood pouring everywhere, and to make matters worse I heard another crying noise come from the kitchen.
When I got in the room, Sierra still safely in my arms, and everyone else trying to calm Lilac down behind me, I found Noah on the floor crying his eyes out while holding his arm, and it looked broken to me.
I set Sierra down on the counter and knelt down on the floor, "What happened buddy?" He sniffled, "I was on the counter trying to get a snack, and I fell." He said hysterically. I looked up to see Seirra doing the same thing that caused Noah to hurt himself. I got up, lifted her off the counter, grabbed her a snack, and got down to her level, "Go play, I'll take care of Noah. Just be careful in the living room, you'll get cut." She nodded and went out the door.
"Okay, come on." I picked him up and carried him out to the living room. Robbie was sweeping up the mess, Tori was trying to get the glass out of Lilac's foot, Cat was trying to comfort her, and Andre and Molly were messing with his keyboard.
"Hey, I'm taking Noah to the hospital, I'm pretty sure he broke his arm." I told them. "I want to come too" Tori and Robbie both said. I think the only reason Tori wanted to go was because Jessica was giving her dirty looks again. "Andre and Cat, are you sure you can handle them?" They nodded and we headed out the door to my car.
Cat's POV
I love this place! I like when there's a lot of people around! And Tori finally got the glass out of Lilacs foot; she just limps a little because it still hurts a little bit! But now I'm worried about Noah because his arm didn't look right. So me and Andre are staying here with all the other kids.
Seirra was sitting on the steps looking sad so I bounced over to her. She giggled then returned to her frown. I sat down next to her, "What's wrong?"
She looked at me, "Lilac got hurt and that made me sad, then Noah got hurt and it made me even sadder."
I got up, "Then let's go play; it'll make you feel better! They're both okay!" I told her and she stood up happily.
I went over to Lilac sitting on the couch, "Do you want to come play with me and Seirra?" she nodded. I picked her up so she wouldn't have to limp to Seirra's room and started up the stairs.
When we got to the room, I sat Lilac down on a bed. Then I realized...there are three beds! "Why are there three beds?" I asked them.
"One's mine, and the other two are Lilac and Molly's," Seirra replied as she went over to the storage cubes and pulled out a fisher price learning system that had her name in the back, and a baby alive doll
"But why do they have bed's at your Aunt's house," I questioned Seirra.
She looked confused for a second before she replied "Cause they come here a lot so Amanda and Kyle bought them beds," Seirra replied, then walked over to Lilac and handed her the doll.
I sat in the room playing with the two girls for a little while, until I heard yelling coming from down stairs.
'Stay right here I will be right back," I told the small girls the both nodded so I want down stairs. When I made it to the last step I turned the corner to go into the living room when I got in there I found Avery and a boy around her age fighting, there was another little girl trying to get the two to stop fighting, and Carson was sitting on the couch playing a football that he turned up every few seconds so he could hear it.
"What's going on?" I shouted over all of the noise over to Andre, who was trying to console Molly who at the moment was covering her ears and looking like she was going to cry from the noise.
"I'm not sure but can you take Molly upstairs while I try to settle this," Andre said back, I nodded then picked Molly up and carried her up stairs.
Andre's POV
Man this house is hectic! I walked over to Carson and asked him to turn down the TV.
"I barely listen to Jade, what in the world make you think I will listen to you," he replied then turned back to his game and turned the TV even louder if possible.
"He's not going to listen to you," Ryan said, as she walked into the living room with Brett, Peyton, Jessica, and Mel.
"And why not," I questioned the group; he is only six for crying out loud I will get him to listen.
"He doesn't listen to anyone," Jessica said to me.
"Here let me try something," Brett said then turned to the six years old intently playing the football game, "If you don't turn that down now I will take the game away," Brett threatened Carson.
Carson paused the game and slowly turned to Brett, "You wouldn't," Carson growled through his teeth. DANG! You do not want to mess with him and his games.
"Oh, yes I will," Brett replied he's good.
"You can't only Jade can take something from me," Carson relied. Wait why can Jade take the game from him. she's not his mom.
"No I can take it because it's my game so either you turn the sound of completely for the rest of the night or I take it and you can never play it again," Brett returned.
"Fine I will turn the sound off," Carson mumbled, and then he turned back to his game, unpaused it, and turned it on mute.
Now time to deal with the fighting ones, "Ok, you three stop fighting," I told them.
One of the girls stepped back immediately but the other two continued to fight. "Hey, what are they fighting about?" I questioned the girl who stepped away.
"Um, Avery is fighting with Will because he is scared of Barney, it happens all the time," the girl responded, "I'm Lily by the way," she told me, I nodded then turned back to the two fighting ten year olds.
"Will you two stop fighting," I shouted at Avery and Will.
"No can you please tell him it's ridiculous to be scared of a singing, dancing, purple dinosaur," Avery said to me.
"He has a right to be scared of anything he wants," I told the little girl and she frowned at me.
"Being scared is for children," Avery huffed.
"Oh really, so your telling me you're not scared of anything," I asked her.
"Not a thing," Avery replied. I was going to give up but then I thought of something that scares quite a few girls.
"Not even spiders," I questioned the girl and I saw a glint of fear go through her eyes before she covered it up.
"No, not even spiders," she told me then turned around and left the living room and headed upstairs.
"Thank you for assisting me with my altercation," Will told me, and I nodded confused for a second until I figured out what he said.
"Oh, no problem dude, any time,' I replied, then I heard the front door open then close ten seconds later.
"Were back," Beak announced walking into the living room with Tori and Robbie following him, and Noah in his arms, "Noah broke his arm but other than that he's all good, right little man?"
Noah nodded then held out his cast blue cast, "look my cast is blue my favorite color."
"That's super cool dude," I told him, he's such a cute kid!
"Where're Seirra, Lilac, and Molly?" Noah questioned me when Beck put him on the floor.
"In Seirra's room," I replied to the small boy, he nodded then ran over to out of the room and up the stairs.
"So the house has calmed down a lot," Tori commented as she started to walk over to the couch but when she realized Jessica and Ryan were sitting there she turned around and walked out of the room. Man those two really scare her.
"Yeah, you guys are almost as good as Jade," Brett said from his spots on recliner next to the couch.
"So can we see her now?" Beck questioned the group.
"Fine." Brett said and led us up the stairs.
Beck's POV
We passed Seirra's room and the three girls in the room came and hugged Tori, Beck, and Robbie, "Your back!" They went back in the room to play with Cat until she stood up, "You're going to see Jade?" we nodded and turned to the girls and Noah, "I'll be right back." and went up another flight of stairs with us.
We finally got up the stairs and made it to the last room on the hallway.
When we opened the door we found a pretty big room with four beds in total in the room and a huge TV sitting on a table on the wall opposite the door. Also on that wall there were various instruments set up. The bed first to the right had a red bedspread with gold pillow cases, to the left of the bed there was a silver dresser with a guitar leaning against it and to the right of the bed there were two night stands the one closest to the bed was silver and the other a blood red. On right of the red night stand there was another bed that held a purple bedspread and purple pillow cases. To the right of the bed held another dresser only this on pure black. Opposite wall of the purple bed was another bed sporting blue bedspread and a grey pillow case. Two the left of this bed there was a purple dresser and to the right of the bed there was two black nightstands. To the right of the second nightstand there was black and turquoise bedding and to the right of this last bed there was a black dresser.
On the black and turquoise bed there was a figure lying beneath the sheets, all of a sudden from beneath the sheets Jade started trying to sit up. Beck gently pushed her and told her to lie back down. She laid back down and started to fall back asleep, until she came back to reality and snapped her eyes open, "What are you guys doing here?"
"We came to see you!" Cat said excitedly, "and Jessica told us that this was your Aunt's house and your parents are out of town with them and all of the kid's parents."
"Oh," Jade replied then turned to me, "Can you *cough* let me up *cough* so I can *cough cough* use the bath- *cough* room." I nodded then moved over slightly to help her stand up. I then walked with her into the hall and over to the bathroom, then stopped at the door to let her go in by herself.
After a few minutes she cam me out then started to head towards the stairs before Andre grabbed her arm, "Hold it right there Jade, where do you think you're going?" he questioned her
"Down stairs *cough* I have to make *cough* dinner then help the little *cough cough* ones get ready for *cough* bed," she replied to us.
"No you don't you are going back to bed you can't be up and about, you need to sleep in order to get better," I told her then led her back to her room and over to her bed, "We will make dinner and help them get ready for bed don't worry."
"But you *cough* guys have other *cough* things to do," she said as I helped her lay back onto the pillow, "*cough* like homework."
"We can do that while we help it's no problem at all I promise," Robbie told Jade, finally she agreed and she fell to sleep, so we all head towards the stairs to head down.
Brett, Peyton, Jessica, Ryan, and Mel all went into a room next to the stair case. I got a glimpse inside and it looked like a mix between a boys and a girl's room with two beds on opposite walls. On the side that looked like a boys room there was a small TV on the nightstand with ear buds attached to it, there was also quite a few footballs laying around on the floor as well as some jerseys, and over toward the foot of the bed there was a backpack and a huge football bag with the helmet sticking out of the top. The group all went over to that side. On the other side of the room, there was pink everywhere, with another small TV on the nightstand and a unicorn pillow pet on the bed.
When we were down stairs Robbie, Tori, and Cat all went into the kitchen to start on dinner while Andre and I went into the living room to play with the kids for a while. Molly and Seirra were in the living room playing around on Andre's keyboard.
"Hey lil' ones what are you up to?" Andre questioned the small girls.
"Nothing, but Lilac is up in my room, she couldn't walk down the stairs can you get her Beck?" Seirra questioned me.
"Sure thing I will be right back," I replied then went over to the stair and headed up, then proceeded to the room we found Cat in earlier. The room was all pink with three beds all on the wall on the opposite side of the door at the foot of each bed there was toy boxes each had a different name on them the one to the right said 'Molly' the one in the middle 'Lilac' and the one to the left 'Seirra'. On the wall to the right of the beds there were three pink dressers and on the wall to the left of the beds there was a pink bookshelf, and pink storage cubes.
One the bed in the middle there was two little kids sitting on the bed. "I heard you needed my assistance," I said as I walked up to Lilac.
"Yes please," Lilac said to me as she reached her arms up towards me. I picked her up and set her on my hip and reached out my hand for Noah to take then we started down the stairs and into the living room.
When we got downstairs, Tori, Cat and Andre were sitting at the table with Molly and Seirra who were eating their noodles watching Robbie mess with Rex to entertain the other kids. I sat Lilac down next to Molly and went into the kitchen to get her and Noah's bowls.
I gave them their dinner and sat down with the others. "Whens Jadey gonna be better?" Noah asked.
"I'm not sure hopefully soon," Andre told him, "so what time do you guys go to bed?"
"At twelve," Seirra replied with a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Oh really," I replied they all nodded their heads, "How about this, after dinner you all get ready for bed then we will watch movies until you fall asleep," they all nodded again then went back to eating.
While we were eating the front door opened and in walked Marie, she came into the kitchen and stared at us, "Hey what's up?"
"Jadey got sick so they are watching us right now," Lilac commented right before taking a huge bit of soup. Marie nodded then went into the fridge and pulled out a water bottle then went out of the room and up the stairs.
After dinner I took the four small children up on flight of stairs and into the bathroom. The room had one big bathtub with eight towels on the shelf over the toilet and a sink beside the toilet but nowhere in sight was any bath supplies.
"Where is your bath stuff?" I questioned Lilac.
"Under the sink," she replied. I nodded then opened the cabinet door under the sink to find a big tub of bath supplies so I pulled it out and placed it on the closed toilet then turned to the kids.
"Ok you guys get undressed while I put water in the tub," I said then walked over to the tub and started filling it with water when I turned around they were ready so I out then in and helped them bathe.
Twenty minutes later I got them out and I was soaked. IO brought them into Seirra's room and helped the girls pick out pajamas then left them to change while I went upstairs and got Noah in his PJ. When I was done with him I went back to Seirra's room to find them ready. I told them to go down stairs then I followed. When I made it to the living room the gang burst out laughing.
"I thought they were getting the bath not you," Andre joked.
"It's not funny; they teamed up on me and got me all wet," i said walking to the sink to wring my shirt out. The four culprits starting giggling and gave me a hug, "Sorry Beck!" I cant be mad at them, theyre too cute. "Its okay kiddos"
Us five walked over to the living room and sat down as Tori went to where the movies were to find a movie.
Molly's POV
I really like Beck, Andre, Tori, Cat and the puppet guy here with us, but i miss Jadey too. I kind of like that we get to watch a movie until we fall asleep though. Tori decided to randomly pick one of us to choose the first movie and it was me!
I went over to the box of kid movies and I finally picked Despicable Me, and I gave it to Tori and sat back down between on Andre's lap and waited for the movie to start. I LOVE this movie, the minions are so cool.
When I got settled on Andre's lap he tickled me and I started laughing. I love Andre he's my best friend in the whole entire world, besides Jade, but Jadey is like my mommy so it doesn't really count. Anyway I love Andre he always plays the piano with me. Mel told me a secret the other day, she likes Andre. Mel has always talked to me since she got here and she tells me secrets, actually a lot of people tell me secrets because they know I won't spill them, anyway back to the point. Mel told me she has a crush on Andre only guess who else does Ryan. This is not good, it has never happened in the house before but I don't think this will go over really well. I have also heard a lot of other secrets that people have told me just trying to get them of their chest like Brett told me he has dyslexia, he has never told anybody before and he told me when I found him in his room once stuck on a math problem, he made me promise not to tell Jadey and I haven't, and Stevie told me that she was going out with Naya before everyone else found out.
Soon the movie was over and I was the only one of the kids still awake because it was nine thirty, so Beck, Tori, and Cat carried Noah, Seirra, and Lilac upstairs while I stayed down here with Andre while Robbie went into the kitchen to clean up the left over soup.
"So Molly, do you like that movie?" I nodded so he continued, "Do you like the minions the most?" I nodded once again, "Yeah there my favorite part to. So are you at all tired?" I shook my head no and he went one, "how does your mommy and daddy help you fall asleep," I thought about what I should do because first of all I don't have a mommy or a daddy, my real daddy left died in a car accident and my real mommy died giving birth to me, that's what Jadey said when I asked her anyway, and nobody wanted to adopt me, so I thought about what Jade did help me fall asleep because she is like my mommy. So I got up off his lap and grabbed his hand, I pulled him all the way up the stairs and into Jadey's room. "Molly you can't come in here you can get sick," Andre commented when I walked into the room, but I just ignored them and walked further in the room, Marie, Peyton, Ryan, and Jade were all asleep on their beds so I had to be quiet. I slowly went under Jade's bed and pulled out a box of her bed time stories she got when she was little. They were all old so I had to be super careful for them not to fall apart but I eventually found me favorite one, Goodnight Gorilla, and handed it to Andre. Then I pushed the box back under the bed and left the room headed down stairs.
Andre sat down on the couch and lifted me on his lap, just then the Beck, Cat, and Tori came in from down stairs and Robbie came in from the kitchen.
"Hey, we were just going to start a bed time story huh Molly," he told the others then looked down at me, I nodded, "Do you guys want to listen?" Andre asked the gang, they all nodded then sat on the ground in front of the couch. Andre opened the cover of the book and on the other side of the cove it said 'Jade West' written in crayon in sloppy hand writing. Jadey told me she got this book when she was two, it was the last thing she got from her mommy before they left her. Jadey says she kind of remembers her mommy helping her write her name on the cover of the book, but it's kind of hard to read because she was only two when she wrote it so her mom rewrote her name beneath it. Jadey told me that she loves this book even though she is mad at them for leaving her. Andre flipped to the next page and started the story.
Soon I started to get tired and now I can't keep my eyes open anymore. Goodnight.
So there is the chapter! The group doesn't know the secret yet but will they soon? We hope to have another up soon.
Please alert/favorite and review we love reading them they mean a lot!
