Frenemies update!(:
Claire P.O.V.
"Claire! Can I have some of your popsicle?" Quil asked, making a puppy-dog face at me.
I made a face and shook my head, "No way!"
"Pleeaasseee?" he asked again, begging with his hands. He reminded me of a dog, right now. I mean literally. He was on his knees, with his hands in the air and his face right in front of mine.
I sighed, "Quil! Go buy one! Or even ask Brady if he will!"
Vera came running to me and Quil. Her green eyes were bright and she was wearing a cute pink dress. We're gonna go visit the Carter's today. Isure as heck didn't want to, but Mom's forcing us. Quil's coming, too.
It's the middle brother's twentieth birthday. Hoo-rah, he's a legal adult now. Yay for him...
"Claaaaiirreeee! Can I has the poppysicle?" she asked, panting and trying to push Quil away from the popsicle.
"Hey! It was mine first, Berrry!" Quil whined and picked her up. "Mwuahaha! Now, neither of us can have it!"
I finished my popsicle and watched them run around and play around. After what seemed like hours, Mom finally came out, following her was Sean, her boyfriend.
Sean's... Nice... Enough.
He has his own child, so I doubt he'll ever really love me and Vera, but as long as he acts like a father to her, I'm fine with him. He's very protective of her already so, that's good.
Sean had his hand wrapped around my mom's shoulders. They were both smiling and it was very strange to me, they've been dating for almost two years now, ever since Vera turned 3.
"Why're you guys so happy?" I asked.
Mom looked down at me and then said, "It's a surprise for later, alright, honey?"
I nodded, "Lets just go. Sean, can I borrow Kyle's book? He left it in the car and I wanna read it," I said quietly as he hoisted me up in the Hummer he owned.
It was too tall for me to get in by myself, or I'm too short, as Brady likes to say.
"Sure, Claire-Mare," he said, grinning softly at me. He and I were watching the movie Spirit and notices how much I loved horse, he's been calling me that ever since.
"Thanks," I mumbled and grabbed the story book and began reading. It took about fifteen minutes to get to the Carter home. I mentally groaned at the sight of the blue, green and purple balloons.
We went to the front door and Sean knocked twice, while shielding my mom and Vera from the slight drizzle. Quil had his coat over me, I kept tickling his tummy with my fingers.
The door opened and Momma-Carter greeted us, "Hey guys, come on in! Your fashionably late, as always Carol!"
Mom laughed and said, "With good reason, too. I'll tell you once I inform my girls."
"Okay, lets go eat. I slaved over the stove and in a matter of minutes, it was all gone! Good thing I saved you guys some food."
Sean and Mom left with Vera and Quil took me to go with his friends and my aunt, Emily.
"Emilyyy," I squealed and went to go hug her. Then I saw Leah and sat on her lap.
She laughed, "Hey, Claire! How's it going little lady?"
I groaned, "Horrible. I have the biggest stomach ache in the world right now. And it's all Quil'd fault! He and I were racing on who could eat the most Oreo cookies first..." After a moment I silently added, "He won."
Leah laughed and hugged me super tight, "He's an animal, babe! Of course he's going to win!"
All of the guys sent her a look and she shrugged into Caleb, Embry's cousin, who she's been dating for a month almost now. He's really nice, just like everyone else. He has big muscles and is always frowning, until Leah's with him.
Caleb wrapped his big, long arms around me and Leah. He was really warm, just like everyone else...
I heard a loud squeal and turned my head towards Jacob, he was chasing a girl with light brown wavy hair. She was wearing a blue blouse and jeans, with white converse.
"Jake, leave me alone!" she screamed. I started laughing, Jacob couldn't catch up to her.
"Natalie-" Oh, it's her, "Please! I'm sorry! The jell-o looked so good to not eat it!" he yelled after her.
A really angry looking Brady came down from the stairs. His hair was really messy and he had drool stains on his shirt. The Carter's recent child was in his arms, looking very confused. Marina.
Robert came down stairs after, he had a doll in his hands and loudly called, "Natale-Bee, here's your doll! Use it, on you know who!"
She ran to Robert and grabbed it from him and as Jacob was reaching her, she threw it at him. He caught it perfectly in his mouth. Natalie looked at him, in a face full of awe. Heck, mine was probably like that, too.
It was a while before suddenly, Paul started laughing super hard. It eventually got the rest of us to laugh, too.
This night was actually a lot of fun.
When Austin barged in, very wet and looking kind of angry, we all surprised him. He was very happy the rest of the evening.
I didn't speak to any of the Carters, though. Why should I? The adults kept giving me small glances from time to time and it bugged me. I just want a normal family like their's, well as normal as they can get.
Maybe, it was just a mistake for me to have been born.
Okay, so here's an update... Yada, Yada, Yada! I'm super tired right now & I have the biggest stomach ache in the world! There's like, pressure in my abdomen right now... it hurts like a b*tch.
