I walked down the stairs slowly while listening to my mom whine over the phone about something "...I just can't stand him anymore!" she shouted, I winced and sighed "Mom, I am not your therapist you can't call me every time you have a problem with Todd" I exclaimed,

Todd was my mom's husband, but I doubted it would last "I just need someone to talk to" she said babyishly, I rolled my eyes "Talk to a normal therapist, or Todd even" I suggested, I heard her groan faintly "C'mon Nessa, can't you come home and we'll have our awesome night's in where we talk about everything?" she asked hopefully, I paused on the stairs and realised what she was doing

"Mom I am not coming home" I said firmly "Please" she begged, I shook my head even though she couldn't see it "No. I got my own problems to solve I am not helping you solve your's too" I exclaimed before hanging up, I knew it was rough to say that but I actually had been having problems, the talk with Chase had happened the other night and he was blanking me again,

but it felt worse because now the reason was huge and I actually didn't blame him for being mad at me, but I missed him in a way, I got down the stairs and my eyes widened at the scene before me, Adam was using Leo as a weight lift, Bree and Chase were playing with a ball and my dad was in a weird position while mumbling some foreign language, in short everything was nuts in this house

"Mornin' Nessa" Leo said as I walked past him, I nodded in greeting and sat down on the stool next to Tasha "But not today...why?...because Donald's not feeling well. Look I gotta go he just threw up in my purse, love you bye" she said hanging up the phone, I gave her a confused look "My mother" she said, I nodded in understanding "You know were gonna have to have her over eventually"

Dad said "No we don't, look my mom doesn't just visit she has inspections, if she spots anything weird she will use it as an' excuse for her to move in" Tasha explained, Bree suddenly sped over to us and caught the ball "Nothin' weird here" she said before carrying on, I smiled in amusement and headed for the fridge "Hey Nessa, you wanna play?" Bree asked motioning to the ball in her hand,

I glanced at Chase who was staring at the floor "Uh this seems like a bionic game so I'm just gonna get some breakfast, thanks though" I said, she nodded a little confused and turned back to Chase "It's my mother!" Tasha shouted, I jumped and turned my head to see someone's face on the front door security cam "I'll be in the lab" Dad said nervously, I decided to follow him down there and he gave me a confused look

"I ain't stayin' up there, I don't do grandma's" I said, he nodded and we entered the lab, I saw different devices on the stands and I nodded in realisation "Oh, your about to get the call aren't you?" I asked, he nodded and took off the weird helmet type thing "Yeah, speaking of which I need to change so can you watch all this stuff until I get back?" he asked hopefully, I gave him a look

"You know I don't know much about this stuff" I pointed out, he shrugged "You don't have to, but Leo and Chase will be down here soon so can you please make sure they don't touch anything" he begged, I sighed and nodded "Sure" I said, he kissed my cheek "Thank you sweety" he said before leaving, I sighed and flopped down onto the swirly chair.

An Hour Later...

I was watching Total Wipeout on the T.V when Leo came in looking excited "And I'm here on time" he exclaimed smiling, I chuckled and turned to face him "You look happy" I said, he nodded and sat down in the other chair "I am, I'm gonna me helpin' D and Chase out with the call thingy" he replied, I nodded "Sounds fun" I said sarcastically, he gave me an' annoyed look

"What are you doing down here anyways Nessa?" he asked, I sighed "Daddy told me to stay down here until he get's back because he doesn't want you or Chase touching anything" I explained, he rolled his eyes "God you get electrocuted once and suddenly he sends a babysitter" he exclaimed, I gave him a confused look "Electrocuted? Man I wish I'd seen that" I said chuckling

"I'm here" a familiar voice called out, my face fell and I sighed quietly "Sup Chase?" Leo asked, Chase nodded in greeting and he changed quickly once he noticed I was there too "What are you doing down here?" he asked, it wasn't snappish like I'd expected, it was more of a sad tone "Dad doesn't want you or Leo touching anything so he sent me down here to make sure nothing happens"

I explained, he nodded "Well I can make sure Leo doesn't touch anything, if you wanna go back upstairs I mean" he said putting his hands into his front pockets, I nodded and stood up "Later Leo" I said, he had a look of confusion on his face and he was glancing between me and Chase "Yeah" he said slowly as though trying to figure something out "Bye" I said quietly as I passed Chase, he nodded and I entered the lift before going upstairs.
