FITZ'S POV

"So some random gold digger is spending the summer at our home?" I chuckled as my dad helped me carry my suitcases of my car.

"Fitzgerald" mom hissed as i stepped into the house and was met by my younger siblings who looked ticked off at my remark.

"she's really nice Tripp" Kate hugged me before turning to go upstairs

"I don't understand why she's spending the summer here if she's not your girlfriend"

"Because she has no family, apart from her dad who's in the hospital. Does that justify her visit?" Teddy said ticked off

"Alright i'm sorry, i'll be studying all summer anyways"

He nodded and shook my hand helping me bring my things up to my bedroom.

"Liv's right across the hall, be nice" he warned before joining Kate in her room.

I sighed those two were always so close sometime i wished i had a twin or someone around my own age who got me. I started unpacking and listened as the door opened and closed before opening again when mom called everyone down for dinner. I was met by the deepest pair of brown bambi eyes. She was short compared to my 6'1 height and wore jeans and a long black sleeved top. Her hair was a deep brown reaching past her shoulders.

"hi" i finally said

"Hi"

"Fitz" i stuck out a hand

"Liv" she shook it and made her way towards Teddy and Kate as they came out of the room and called her over.

"Did he say anything rude?" I heard Teddy whisper as they walked downstairs

"No, just a hello" Liv walked with them into the dining room taking a seat beside Teddy across from me. After everyone had gone gotten their food i watched as she bowed her head across from me and said a prayer. We all waited until she was finished to eat.

"Are you christian Liv?" Mom asked

"Yes ma'am"

"Please call me Emily" she smiled

Liv nodded and dug into her mashed potatoes.

"Were you raised Christian?" Kate asked

"Uh no, i just joined when i started high school"

"Tell us about yourself" Dad asked as she took a break between eating

"Okay, i'm an only child, my favourite colour is grey, i love binge watching tv shows"

Teddy chuckled and she pinched his side

"I also love to read"

"Has Teddy told you about our library then?" Dad asked

"No?"

"We have a big library, beside Dad's study. Different types of books" Kate smiled

"Fitzgerald has read all of the books at least twice" Mom smiled towards me. I watched Liv's eyes flicker to mine and smile.

"She's on the swim team too" Teddy offered up

"You and Kate will spend a lot of time in the pool then, our fish out of water" Dad smiled before his phone rang and he excused himself.

"So, do you four have any plans tonight?"

"We are going to a party, showing Liv a night in Cali" Teddy smirked as Liv rolled her eyes.

"Are you going too Fitz?" Mom asked carrying her dish to the kitchen

"Uh no" i looked down at my book realizing i wasn't invited

"You should come" Liv offered

"Fitz doesn't really chill" Teddy laughed

"He's still your brother" she said sternly and i watched as she took control over Teddy and got him to invite me.

"I'm alright, i'll just pick you guys up like i normally do"

"Thank you Tripp" Kate said exiting from the table followed by everyone else.

They found their own way there and said they would call when they needed a ride home. It was 3 in the morning when i finally got the call.

"On my way Ted-"

"It's Liv" she said over someone puking

"Teddy have too much to drink?"

"Uh yeah, Kate went over to her boyfriend's so she said she'll be home tomorrow"

"Okay, i'll be there in ten minuets"

"Okay thanks" she said awkwardly "bye"

I watched as Teddy stumbled over to the car by himself and laid down in the back seat. A few seconds later Liv came out of the house looking for him with a bottle of water. She was wearing a short sleeved black dress that was stretchy fabric and some sandals.

She spotted us and made her way over.

"Here Ted, got you some water" she whispered as she got into the SUV

"Thanks Libby" he groaned

"No problem"

I started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

"Thanks for picking us up"

"No problem, have fun?"

"Yeah" she tried to sound happy "kinda"

"Did something happen?"

"No" she kept quiet for the rest of the ride until i pulled into the driveway.

"I feel like shit" Teddy mumbled and giggled into Liv's hair. I watched her laugh and help him upstairs, taking off his shoes.

"Night Ted"

"Night Libby" he waved "night bro"

"Good night" i nodded and walked towards my room.

"Thanks again Fitz" i heard before i closed the door. It was too late for my to answer back so i just went to shower.
