• AARON'S POV •

I love one thing is this world. Is has five letters and there's an E involved. Give up?

It's sleep.

The only problem is, everyone doesn't seem to understand my love for sleep, seeing as I'm constantly being woken up.

"Ahhhhh!!! IT'S A RAT!!!!" A high pitch scream fills my ears making me jolt from the bed.

" fucking hell..." I mumble as I fall back onto the bed and try to go back to sleep. But sadly my attempt at happiness is destroyed as more screams fill my ears. I clench my fists and try to keep myself just getting out of bed and punching somebody and I grit my teeth. Another scream sounds and I'm jumping from the bed and stomping down the hall way looking for who's screaming. Not even caring that I'm half naked and that my hair probably looks like a train wreck I go into the kitchen. I see Lyndsey and June running around the kitchen screaming. "Shut the fuck up!" I yell and they both stop in their tracks and look at me. I glare daggers at them then point to the chairs at the kitchen table. They obediently sit down and hang their heads as I cross my arms over my chest and glare down at them. I don't normally yell, in fact I hate yelling but I've been pissed off. "Why the fuck are you two screaming at-" I look at the clock on the wall for the time, "at 8 in the morning? Don't you know people are trying to sleep?"

June looks up with a scared expression "t-there's a r-rat..." She mumbles. I can't tell if she's scared of me or the rat but I couldn't care less.

"I don't give a damn if there's a rat. That's no excuse to go waking up the whole damn neighbourhood. I swear people could have heard you two screaming from a mile away. And where's mike and chris? I'm sure you probably woke them up as well. You know maybe if you two didn't spend ten fucking minutes screaming at it you could have caught it." Lyndsey looks up slightly but something catches her eye and she points. It looks like she's about to scream again but covers her mouth. I turn to look at what she was point at and see a tiny mouse hiding in the corner looking terrified. I groan and roll my eyes. Walking over I corner it and grab it why it's tail and pick it up. "Seriously? It's not even a rat, it's a mouse. I can't believe you two morons." I turn back to them and glare again as the mouse squirms to get me to let it go. June looks terrified but Lyndsey seems to calm down and gets a better look at it.

"Ohh..." She mumbles and I sigh again. I still feel pissed off but not as bad as before. I take a few steps over to them and hold the mouse in front of their faces. Lyndsey looks like she wants to pet it while June freaks out and jumps away.

"If you want to pet it," I say more to my sister since she looks so interested, "go grab a box or something I can put him in without it running away. After that take him and put him outside." She nods and jumps up, running away I assume to grab a box. I look at June and grin as I put the mouse in her face and she screams again. "This is what you get for waking me up!" She tries to run and I chase her with the mouse. Lyndsey returned with a box and I out the little mouse in it. Immediately it raced into a corner and trembled slightly. See their screaming scared it. Of course Lyndsey tries to pet it so she slowly puts her hand in the box and touches the mouses back with her finger. Can you disown a sibling just for being weird?

I roll my eyes and walk to the fridge, yawning. My eyes still feel heavy that how fucking tired I am. I glance around, leaning on the door and end up pulling out the milk for cereal. I pull down the cereal box from above the fridge then walk to an empty counter. June still stands in the door way, watching the box and trying to make sure the mouse won't get out again. I'm tempted to chase her with it again but hunger stops me. I feel arms wrap around my waist from my side and I lift my arm and put it around Lyndsey's shoulders. "Sorry we woke you up." She apologised leaning her head on me. I grumble an 'its fine' and continue making my breakfast. "Are you gonna be in a grumpy mood all day?"
