Hey guys! Long time no see eh? Ha-ha. Is it spring break for you guys? If it is… hope you have an awesome spring break! If it isn't, I feel your pain.

Ring, ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana Phoonee!

I slapped my hand around on my night stand next to my bed trying to find my phone with the stupid alarm going off. Finally I was able to find the stupid annoying phone and turn it off.

I was just about to fall back asleep when my dad yelled from the living room:

"Addie get up right now!"

I sighed and rolled off my bed, landing with a thump on my floor. Instead of getting up and actually walking to my closet, I thought I would be an army person and crawl over to my closet.

I was almost to the door when my dog Sparky, decided to run into my room and attack me, "Sparky!" I yelled pushing him away from me as he tried to lick my face.

"Good morning to you to." I said as I got up and walked over to my closet. Sparky jumped onto my bed laying down and resting his head on his paws.

I grabbed a random shirt and pants and walked into the bathroom to change and do my routine. After I was done getting dressed I headed down the stairs and into the kitchen where Jessica was coloring a picture at the kitchen table.

I walked over to the fridge and got out the dino chicken nuggets that were left over from last night's dinner and popped them in the microwave.

"I want chicken nuggets!" Jessica complained looking up at me with sad eyes.

"When you're old enough I'll make you some for breakfast." I promised, grabbing the ketchup from the fridge and sitting down with the nuggets.

After fighting with Jessica about how you're supposed to color inside the lines and brushing my teeth I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door.

"Oh wait Addie!" My dad called as I was closing the door.

"Yea?" I stepped back into the entry way, this better not take long. I'm almost going to be late.

"Can you take your sister to her daycare?" He asked.

"Fine." I walked back into the kitchen where Jess was still sitting and picked her up, taking her to my car and buckling her in her car seat.

All the way to the daycare place Jessica was singing her ABC's and stopping at K. I tried tuning her out with the radio but the louder the speakers went, the louder Jessica went, and that girl has a set of lungs. Guess she takes after me.

We finally reached the daycare and I walked Jessica in. Hopefully Brad wouldn't be working when I dropped her off. Brad was this really weird guy with a greasy face and pimples. He worked at the daycare helping out his mom who owned it. Since he was homeschooled he could work a lot of the day.

Brad was really nice but he had this horrible crush on me, ever since Jessica first started coming to the daycare, and he can't even take a hint. He's seen me with Davey a whole bunch of different times but he still thinks me and him are destined to be.

Fate seemed to be against me today, when I walked in; he was standing a few feet away from the door. A creepy grin on his face,

"Oh hey Addie, you dropping Jessica off today?" He took a couple of steps towards me the grin never fading.

"Uh, yeah hey Brad. Um, is your mom around?" I looked around the place trying to find someone to help me escape the wrath that is Brad.

"No, she just went to the market to get some more diapers." He stepped towards me again.

"Oh that's cool." I replied, stepping slightly away from him, "So I'll see you later Jess. Have fun."

Jessica who is unaware of what's going on just smiled at me and gave me a hug, "Bye Addie!"

I smiled down at her and turned to walk out of the daycare. I was about to take a step when I felt a hand grab and squeeze my butt. I turned around and Brad was standing there with a smug smile on his face.

Instead of walking out like nothing ever happened I curled my hand into a fist, reached back, and punched Brad square in the face. Making him stumble back and use the counter for support.

"You. Will. Never. Touch. Me. Again." I glared at him and grabbed Jessica and walked out the door.

"Where are we going?" she asked, as I buckled her in again.

"You are a very special little girl," I said smiling at her, "You're going to go to school with me!"

"Really?!" She asked as her eyes lit up.

"Yup." I nodded as I pulled out of the little parking lot and sped down the road to school.

When I had Jessica out of the car we started walking to the office. Jessica was looking around in amazement as she watched everybody staring at her.

"What's Jessica doing here?" Erin asked as she and Jack walked up to me. Jessica ran up to Jack and he gave her a hug. She had Jack and Davey wrapped around her little finger.

"You know Brad from the daycare?" I asked. Erin knew all about him and she's even seen how he is around me.

"What'd he do this time?"

"I walked in and he was all, 'Oh hey Addie' and he had this creepy smile on his face. Then when I turned around to walk out of the daycare he grabbed and squeezed my ass!"

Erin's eyes grew wide, "You didn't just stand there did you?"

I snorted, "Oh yes Erin. I just walked out of the daycare like nothing happened. No! I punched him in the face, told him to never touch me again and took Jessica with me."

"You punched Brad in the face?" Jack said excitedly, he thought it was awesome that I can pack a punch.

"Yea," I smiled at him, "I made him stumble back a little too."

"Nice!" He laughed, raising his hands for a high five, "Did you break anything?"

"Hopefully I did." I really did hope I broke his jaw, or else I would have to back and make sure I did break something.

"Davey!" I looked down and Jessica was running towards Davey who was walking up the sidewalk to where we were standing.

He looked at her in confusion as she gave him a hug. I smiled and walked over to where they were standing.

"Hi." I said, standing on my tippy toes and giving him a sweet kiss.

"What's she doing here?" He asked as he leaned in for another much longer kiss.

"Brad touched my ass so I punched him and took her here." I replied nonchalantly.

"He did what?!" He took a step back and stared at me, his eyes wide.

"I don't think I need to repeat myself, but I will because you're hard of hearing," I teased, "He touched my butt, and punched him in the face."

"That little-"I covered his mouth before he could say that word in front of Jessica.

"There are little children present." I reminded him, pointedly looking at Jessica.

"Oh yea," He sighed, looking down at Jessica, "I forgot."

"Come with me to the office," I said grabbing his hand, "I want to call my dad."

"Can you pick me up Davey?" Jessica asked as we wove in and out through all the kids.

"Sure." He bent down and picked her up with ease, carrying her all the way to the office.

When we walked into the office the receptionist looked at us with wide eyes, "Is this your daughter?"

I looked at Davey and he shrugged I turned back to her, "Yes she is, I was wondering about the daycare options you have here?"

She just stared at me open mouthed and I tried not to laugh. I looked behind me and Davey had an amused grin on his face.

"Hello Addie." Mr. Smith said, walking into the office.

"Oh hello Mr. Smith, how are you?" I asked, Mr. Smith was mine and Davey's music teacher. He was really awesome.

"Fine thanks," He said finally looking up from the paper he was holding in his hands he looked at Davey holding Jessica, then back at me, then back at Davey and Jessica.

"Is this your child?" He asked, looking at Davey and me like we were two whole new different people.

"Yup." I nodded my head, "Actually Mr. Smith I have to ask you a question about the guitars in the music room so do you think I can talk to you in there?"

"Sure." He said, "Let me just get some things settled in here first. I'll meet you there."

I took Davey's hand and we walked out of the office where Jack and Erin were making out against the wall.

Davey quickly covered Jessica's eyes and I cleared my throat, "Excuse us I believe there is no PDA allowed at this school."

Jack and Erin jumped apart, looking around for a proctor.

"That's not funny Addie!" Erin cried, wrapping her arms around Jacks waist.

"I think it is," I laughed, "Hey were going to the music room. See you guys later."

They waved to us as their mouths found each others again.

As we walked down the hallways everybody was staring at us and whispering to each other behind their hands like it wasn't obvious at all that they were talking about us.

We finally walked into the music room and Mr. Smith was sitting at his desk looking down at some papers.

"Knock Knock." I said, walking into the classroom and sitting down in one of the chairs. Davey followed and gave Jessica to me.

"So," Mr. Smith said, looking up from the papers on his desk, "You guys didn't practice safe sex?"

Davey and I looked at each other and started cracking up.

Mr. Smith gave us a stern look, "I don't believe this is a laughing matter, you two are my best students and I hate to see u throw away your futures like this."

I looked at Davey and he smiled, nodding his head.

I adjusted Jessica on my lap and leaned forward a little, "Mr. Smith Jessica is my little sister, Davey and I have never had sex before. I can assure you."

Mr. Smith leaned back in his chair, "I can't believe you kids, fooling the staff like that, but may I ask how she got here?"

"I didn't have anywhere to take her so I brought her here." I shrugged, Jessica leaned back against me.

"Well you're going to have to call your parents before both of you get in trouble." He warned us, handing me his cell phone.

"Thankyou." I smiled and took the phone, dialing the house number.

~*~

"I can't believe that little loser did that!" Davey yelled as we stood around talking at lunch.

We got Jessica home safely and didn't get in trouble for that, and stopped the rumors that Davey and I had a child. So now Davey's pissed at Brad because he touched my butt.

"Calm down," I said rolling my eyes, "I punched him in the face; I don't think he's going to bother me anymore."

"Damn straight." Jack smiled, holding his hands out for a high-five. He's been doing this all day.

"Nobody and I mean nobody touches my girlfriend's ass," Davey said placing his hand on my butt for emphasis, "The only one who gets to do that is me."

"Not even you," I said, taking his hand off my butt, "You can't even touch my butt."

"Why not!" Davey whined, "I like your butt. It's cute."

"Um, thank you Davey for that complement but it's getting kind of awkward now so if you could stop that would be awesome."

"Alright," He sighed," But I am going to go to that daycare and beat that little boy's butt."

"Davey has a butt fetish," Erin said laughing," First Addie's butt now Brad's."

"That's not the only thing I have a fetish for," He said smiling slyly," I have a thing for girls who can speak Spanish."

I snorted and covered my mouth with my hand. I was laughing so hard tears were starting to drip down onto my cheeks.

The bell rang and we all headed to class, Davey and I to music, Jack to art, and Erin to cheer practice.

"See you guys later." I called, waving to them as we went our separate ways.

"Bye." They called back.

Davey wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked slowly to music, not really caring if we were late.

"I like you." I said, looking up at him and smiling my best smile.

"That's good," He sighed in relief, "I thought you didn't. Thanks for clearing the air."

I laughed, "No problem."

When we walked into the music room, everybody stopped what we they were doing and looked at us, not saying anything just staring.

"Alright people," I said, taking a step forward, "If you all are wondering, Davey and I didn't have a baby, so I suggest you all stop staring at us 'cause there's nothing to look at. Now go along to your duties."

I grabbed his hand and led him to one of the practice rooms where we could work on our duet, thing, whatever it's called.

"What part do you want to work on today?" He asked, as he picked up his guitar and flipped through the sheet music.

"Let's just start from the top and see what we have left," I replied, staring over his shoulder at the music, "We don't have much left to learn right?"

"Yea, just one or two more pages," He started strumming out some chords, "You want to warm up or just start right in?"

"Right in, I don't feel like warming up," I sat down at the upright piano and plucked out the beginning notes," Alright I'm good."

"Ok." He replied. Then he started playing, I waited for my cue and then started to sing.

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you

"Awesome," He said smiling up at me, " That was the best run yet."

"It still missing something," I said thinking, "Oh! Got it!"

"What?" He looked up at me curiously.

"You're singing harmonies with me." I stated happily.

I watched in amusement as his eyes grew wide, "No no no. No way Addie am I going to sing with you. I'll totally mess the song up."

"No you won't I promise Davey. It just doesn't sound right with me singing. I'll even play with you if it will make you fell better."

He seemed to think it over for a second, "Fine," He sighed, "I'll sing, but you're playing with me. On the piano."

"Thank you!" I cried, kissing his cheek and sitting down at the piano," It's going to sound totally awesome, trust me."

So we went through the whole song with Davey singing harmonies and it sounded perfect.

"Oh my gosh, I have to have Mr. Smith hear this." I jumped up from the bench and ran out of the practice room to where Mr. Smith was helping some kids out.

Before I could get to Mr. Smith, Davey caught up to me, grabbed my hand, and turned me around walking back to the practice room, "I think we have to work on the harmonies."

"No it's perfect," I pulled my hand away from his and put my hands on my hips," Mr. Smith is going to listen to us, don't worry about it Davey! You sound fine! Trust me."

"Alright alright fine," He put his hands up in surrender, "But you owe me, big time."

I gave him a huge smile and walked over to where Mr. Smith was helping out two kids with their singing.

"Hey Mr. Smith-"I opened my mouth to continue my sentence but he cut me off.

"Hello Addie, can you help me with these people here? They can't seem to get the crescendo right."

"Sure," I said easily, sitting down in one of the chairs across from them, "Can you guys sing it for me real fast?"

They nodded their heads and started singing, immediately I spotted the problem.

"You guys aren't breathing; you can't support your diaphragm without breathing. So you need to make sure you breathe."

I exaggerated my breathing so that they could hear and sang the note with a pretty good crescendo.

"So now you guys try." I said motioning for them to start.

They took a big breath and sang that part perfectly.

"Awesome you guys! It's going to turn out great, I can already tell."

"Thanks Addie," Mr. Smith smiled at me, "Now what do you need?"

"So Davey and I finished the song, but I thought something was missing so I made Davey do harmonies with me and it turned out perfectly! You have to hear."

He chuckled and gestured for me to lead the way; I hopped over to where Davey was, took his hand and pulled him into the practice room but left the door open.

"Alright, let's hear this masterpiece." Mr. Smith smiled leaning on the doorway.

Davey took a big breath before strumming on his guitar and I played softly on the piano, making sure it didn't drown out our voices.

Once I played the last chord I looked over at Mr. Smith and he had a huge smile on his face.

"Well, well, well. That sounds pretty good guys, nice work you sound good together."

I couldn't resist my urges; I hopped off the bench and gave Mr. Smith a huge hug.

He laughed and patted my back lightly, "Nice work guys."

~*~

I hopped out of my van and shut the door, making sure to lock it, because nobody likes to get their very special car stolen.

The house was unusually loud when I walked up the front steps. When I get home only Amanda's here and my dad, Sarah is out partying or something like that. I honestly don't care where Sarah is I'm just going to be happy when she finally gets off her lazy ass, gets a job, and moves out. That would be the best day of my life.

I opened the door to very high pitched squealing, great. Sarah has her little club over.

I ran up the stairs before I could hear anything else. I was running past Amanda's and Sarah's room when I heard crying. Uh oh. That's not good, whenever someone is crying it's not a good sign.

I slowly opened her door and poked my head in. Amanda was lying on her bed with her head buried in her pillow, crying her head off.

"Hey you all right Manda?" I asked softly, opening the door all the way and walking into the room.

She let out a couple of sobs before lifting her head off the pillow, "Do I look like I'm alright?"

I lifted my arms up in surrender, "Hey, come on now, I'm just trying to help you out here. What happened?" I walked over and sat down on the edge of her bed. It takes a lot to make Amanda cry, she was pretty tough.

"Jason broke up with me." She sobbed again, burying her head into my neck. Jason was her long time jerk of a boyfriend. Nobody in my family like him, sure he was good-looking and rich, but he was an ass. Totally disrespecting to everybody especially Matt.

"And that's a bad thing?" I asked laughing a little I couldn't wait to tell my dad he would be ecstatic.

"I really liked him!" She whined, lifting her head off my neck and glaring at me, "He was really nice! But he just had to go cheat on me with that ho and have the nerve to break up with me! In front of her too! After I caught them in bed! Together!"

"Tough nuts honey," I said patting her back sympathetically, "You'll find someone better trust me. Jason the jackass is dumb, nobody likes him."

"Are you sure?" She asked softly looking up at me with sad eyes.

"Positive," I smiled hugging her tightly; "You'll find somebody so nice and sweet and caring that you'll want to be with them forever!"

"Will you help me?" She took her head from out of my neck and got up walking to the bathroom.

"Help you with what?" I asked as Sparky ran into the room following Amanda into the bathroom. For some reason Amanda was Sparky's favorite out of the whole family.

"Finding the right guy," She replied like I was uber stupid, "I'm not going to find him on my own Addie."

"Don't even worry about it," I waved my hand lazily, "Just go on like you weren't even dating Jason, enjoy being single. It's probably not going to last long."

"What if you're wrong?" She asked walking back into the bedroom and lying down next to me.

"When have I ever been wrong?" I said confidently.

"The time when you said potato is spelled with an 'e'." She smirked at me.

"It is!" I protested, "If your speaking in plural terms it's spelled with an 'e'."

She laughed and pushed me off the bed, "Thanks Addie, now get out of my room."

I stuck my tongue out at her and walked out of the room, "I'm like the love doctor!" I yelled, running down the hallway and into my bedroom.

Yay for a new chapter! I actually wrote like six pages in one day! Isn't that incredible! This was one of the chapters that was easy to write. I like this one. Nicky's turn is next! Yay! Remember that all and any feedback is wonderful feedback! Have a happy Thursday!
