The bad boy lives in my room

Chapter 2

•chapter 2•

"How old are you?" I asked her
" I am 18 years old. And yourself?"
"19 years old. I take it you come from a rich family?"
"No I don't actually. My mom and dad passed away in a awful car crash. They left everything they had to me and my brother. When I turned 18 I got all the life insurance money. The 2 bed room apartment I got when my grandmother passed away a few months ago. My dad was her only child and since he already passed I got everything of her's also. Money and all"
"How old were you when your mom and dad passed?"
"I was 15 years old. My grandmother watched after my brother and I till I turned 18 so we wouldn't have to go into foster care."
Wow 3 years of basically taking care of her and her brother. I was suprised that she would still have all this money being a teenager and all , you would think she would have spent it. I know I would have.
"Why did you come here?" She asked
"I was getting tired of the place I was staying. I needed a change. Somewhere to start fresh , start a new life for me and my sisters"
"All places you could have gone and you came here"
I didn't say anything to that. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't explain to her why I came here. I can't do it because I don't know why myself. So for the next 30 mintues neither of us said anything , wasn't bad , it was a comfortable silence.
"Alright well this is it." She said as we walked up the stairs to her house. Well I guess it could be consider our house. It was nice. Wasn't big but it felt like home.
"Who stays here with you?" I asked
"It's just my brother , Tiffany, and I. There is only 4 bedrooms. My brother has his own room. The kids will have to share a room. You and I will share a room , and Tiffany and Justin will share a room"
Just then the front door opened and in came Justin , Tiffany and the kids. Of course carrying bags full of clothes , bath stuff ,bed sheets and blankets and toys. Both the kids got there hair cut. Emily came running up to me.
"Ryder look at all this cool stuff I have!" She said
So we spent the next 30 mintues going threw and looking at all of her clothes and toys. Even though I didn't want to, it was great seeing my little sister laugh and smile so much.
"Okay Emily it's time for you to go take a bath and get ready for bed. We will get all your new things out away and decorate your room tomorrow morning. Okay?"
"Okay Ryder!" She said
"You too Steven you need to go get ready for bed. We will worry about this in the morning" Justin said
"Okay bubba."
An hour later the kids were in their beds asleep Nichole and Tiffany had went to bed. So it was just Justin and I sitting in the living room watching t.v when the front door open. In walked a teenager about 15 or 16. Around 5'11. Dark brown hair. I think this might be Nichole's brother. He was on the phone.
      "No I can't. I will have to do it another day. I have plans for tomorrow" he said. He looked rather irritated.
"Okay. Well I will call you later. Bye." Hanging up the phone he turned around and looked at Justin and I. I take it by the look on his face he didn't know he was going to have people stay with them.
"Uh who are you?" He asked
"My name is Ryder and this is my friend Justin. Your sister offered to let us stay here a little while till we got back on our feet"
"Oh okay. Well my name is Josh." He said reaching his hand out to shake mine. Then shaking Justin's.
"Nice to meet you"
"You too." With that he walked down the hall and entered what I was guessing was his room.
   I can't wait to get out of here. Yes I know I just got here but I hate getting help from other people. If it wasn't for my sisters I would have never agreed to this. Well I was only gonna do this for a few weeks anyway right? Just long enough for me to find a job and save some money. Find a place that both Justin and I could pay for. Then after getting settle in I could slowly start paying them back for everything they have done.
"Stop thinking so much Ryder. I know this is hard for you. I know you hate getting help from other people , because you feel like you should do everything yourself. For once it's out of your hands. You and me both know that this was our only choice. Everything thing happened last minute. You didn't have time to prepare. So stop racking your brain and just think about tomorrow. I am going to bed. Don't stay up all night. Get some sleep." Justin said. Getting up he made his way down the hall and into his room. Maybe he is right. I just need to think about the next few days. Let everything play out and see what happens.
  Staying up for 30 more minutes I finally decided to go to bed. Making my way to my room I stopped and peeked inside the kids room. Both of them were sound asleep. Closing the door quietly I stepped across the hall opening the door to my room. She was , of course, asleep so I tired my best not to wake her up. I took off my shirt and stepped out of my jeans , slipping on a pair of shorts. Slipping under the covers, I let myself fall into a deep sleep.
