A/N: Here's chapter four!
Disclaimer: Story line is mine... Hehe, that rhymed ;)
---
The sun began shining through Kinley's window. She moaned and pulled the covers completely over her head, then fell back asleep.
Bailey opened the door to her daughter's room and stepped inside. "Kinley, it's two in the afternoon. You need to get up."
Kinley groaned in protest. "Go away!"
Bailey narrowed her eyes. "Don't speak to me that way, Kinley!"
Kinley poked her head out of the covers. "Mother, would you please leave my room so I may go back to my slumber?" she asked in a sarcastic tone.
Bailey smirked. "Not exactly what I was going for..." She sighed and turned to leave, slamming the door behind her.
Kinley grabbed her head as it began to throb. "Don't do that!" she yelled loudly.
From the hall, Bailey laughed and walked into her son's room. "Brady, I think it's time you spent some quality time with your mother."
Brady paused his video game. "Doing what exactly?"
"You want to torture your sister?" Bailey asked with a sly smile on her face.
Brady laughed. "You're not serious..."
"I'm very serious, Brady. Now grab your French horn and meet me in the hallway." Bailey shut his door and went downstairs to the kitchen. She grabbed a giant pan and a wooden spoon, and then ran back up to meet Brady.
"Okay, here's the plan," Bailey began.
Before she could continue, Bentley walked out of his room. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Bailey sighed. "We're going to be loud and annoy your sister because she has a hangover. Do you want in?"
"Heck yeah!" Bentley exclaimed. "Let me get my guitar!" He practically sprinted to his room and grabbed his electric guitar and portable amplifier.
When Bailey and both boys were ready, she gave the signal. They stormed into Kinley's room and began making tons of noise. Bentley played a bunch of random cords that blared through his amp. Brady blew hard into the French horn that he was forced to play because of Cody. Finally, Bailey got on Kinley's bed and began jumping up and down while banging the spoon against the pan.
Kinley bolted up and screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" She grabbed her pillow and covered her ears. "STOP IT!"
Her mom and brothers ignored her and continued to annoy her. Kinley couldn't take it anymore. Still dressed in her short shorts and tank top, she got out of bed. Kinley stormed out of the room and yelled, "Daddy!"
Bailey, Bentley, and Brady stopped making noise and began laughing hysterically. "That was perfect boys. Good job!" Bailey praised.
"We should do that more often!" Bentley suggested. "Even if she doesn't have a hangover... Maybe just for fun!"
Brady nodded. "I wouldn't mind waking up early just to do that!"
Bailey smiled and began laughing again, causing the boys to join in once more.
Downstairs, Kinley continued to yelled, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" She barged into his office, almost knocking the family picture off the wall. "Daddy!!!"
"What Kinley?!" Cody asked, taking off his glasses.
"You won't believe what Mom did!" Kinley said, gesturing to the stairs.
Cody sighed. "What did your mother do now?"
"She got Brady and Bentley to wake me up by being super loud!" she informed.
"You did need to get up, sweetie."
Kinley groaned and threw her head back. "You're not getting the point!"
"What is the point?"
"She's being sooooo unfair!" she answered, dragging out her words.
"She doesn't need to be fair, Kinley. You did get drunk and you do deserve the hangover. Plus, you broke your own rules, which means that you have to accept and follow any punishment that I and your mother give you."
"Daddy! I thought that-"
"No, Kinley! You're going to get punished. Starting off with being grounded."
"Grounded from what and how long?!"
"Your car, phone, and social life. So, I will need your keys and cell. And you will not go anywhere on the weekends or weeknights. Your mother will take and pick you up from school, and then you will come straight home to do homework, eat dinner, and go to bed."
"How long?!" she repeated.
Cody thought for a moment. "I don't know yet. I will let you know when the day comes. Now, go get your keys and phone and bring them to me."
Kinley scoffed and ran a hand through her messy, blonde hair. "This is stupid." She turned around and slammed the door shut, causing the picture to actually fall.
Cody frowned and walked over to the scattered glass. He picked up the picture and looked at his once-happy family. "What happened to us?" he asked himself.
~*~*~*~
Kinley marched back to her room to find it empty. She shut the door and locked it, grabbing her cell phone. She flipped it open and it revealed that she had two missed calls. Both were from the same, strange number.
She pressed the 'CALL' button and the dial tone began ringing.
"Hello," someone answered.
Kinley knew that voice. "Scott? Is that you?"
He chuckled. "Yeah, it's me. How are you, babe?"
Did he just call me babe? "I'm f-fine... A little hung-over and super pissed at my parents."
"Well, that's not good. How 'bout I pick you up and we go do something. You know, just the two of us..."
"I can't Scott. I got grounded for drinking and getting home past my curfew. My dad would kill us both if he found out."
"Who says he has to know?" he asked, repeating Chandler's words from the previous night. "Now, babe, what's your address?"
Kinley couldn't resist his sexy voice, so she gave him the address. "Give me some time to get ready. I look horrible."
Scott chuckled. "I highly doubt that. I'll be there in about an hour."
"Oh, damn! Make sure you tell the gate-watcher guy that you're here to see the..." she paused to think of someone in her neighborhood. "...Petersons. And park by the fountain and I will meet you there."
"You got it, babe."
Kinley hung up her phone and grabbed her keys. She went back downstairs, entering her father's office with a goofy smile on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" Cody asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kinley tried to stop smiling, but failed. "Oh, nothing..."
~*~*~*~
Kinley made sure her door was locked and started to open the window. She climbed out carefully onto the tree and jumped down; looking through the windows to make sure no one was watching. When the coast was clear, she ran toward the fountain.
Scott was leaning against his car, baring his white teeth. "Hey babe," he greeted, reaching an arm around her waist and pulling her in for a kiss.
Kinley was shocked, but she didn't pull away, feeling safe and secure in his embrace.
Scott broke the kiss and asked, "You ready?"
Kinley smiled and nodded. "Let's go."
