"Where's Addie?" Amelia asked as she scrambled around in the kitchen trying to get ready for work and to make sure the kids got to school on time.

"I don't know, she was up late last night though." Scout told his mother whilst being engrossed in his phone.

"What is she doing up so late?" Amelia rhetorically asked.

"Come on guys." Amelia ushered her youngest out of the door so she could drive him to school. "Don't leave without your sister." She reminded Scout, last week he left for school and forgot to take his sister with him.

"I won't, Scouts honor." The teen smirked holding up three fingers. Once his mother left he sat at the kitchen table on his phone, waiting for his little sister.

"Ready?" Addie asked as she stood beside her brother.

"I'm ready, your not. Aren't you gonna get dressed?" He asked looking at her attire of sweatpants and an oversized tshirt, he didn't find anything wrong with the choice of clothing but it's what she fell asleep in last night.

"I am dressed." The girl huffed in annoyance as she made her way to the door. Scout just rolled his eyes and followed his sister to his car. The two sat in silence on the way to school, it was their new normal. The pair used to be inseparable, but now she had distanced herself from him. His mother told him it was just her being a teenager, but it upset him deeply.

"Dads coming home from his conference next week, he's gonna take us to the Mariners game. I'm excited are you?"

"Yeah, it should be a lot of fun." Addie smiled, but Scout could tell it was forced.

"Maybe want to watch a movie tonight?" He asked as he parked the car into the parking lot.

"We'll see."

"Yeah." Scout sighed, knowing that it probably wasn't going to happen. "We'll see."

"Hey." Maggie smiled stepping into Scouts room.

"Aunt Maggie! What are you doing here?"

"Winstons getting on my nerves." She chuckled jumping onto her nephews bed. "And your mom got pulled into surgery. So I thought I'd come by and have dinner with you guys."

"Mom just doesn't trust us. We're older now, I can cook dinner and stuff. But that's not saying I don't love spending time with you." He chuckled, him and Maggie always had a close relationship.

"You know your mom, she's kinda overprotective."

"Yeah I honestly can't believe, there was a time she went to parties and did drugs." Maggie chuckled along with Scout before getting up to check on the others. Anders was engrossed in a video game, so she went across the hall, quietly opening the door to Addison's room to find her fast asleep, she chuckled to herself that girl was just like her mother and savored any sleep she could get. Maggie walked over to shut her bedside lamp off to allow the room to be darker, dodging over the mess that had accumulated in her room. Before exiting the room she spotted a journal peaking out beneath her dresser, she knew it was an invasion of privacy and she shouldnt read it. She had temporarily lost Zola's trust for a couple of weeks because of this, but she couldn't stop herself.

"Auntie Maggie, can we have spaghetti for dinner?" Anders asked running out of his bedroom with Scout following behind.

"Sure. What are you two up too?"
