A/n: 🎶Let's go ALREADYYYY!!!!🎶

KATIE'S POV:

We were all in the car. It was late at night and I had just woke up, with Dad's coat on me. Everyone else was sleeping except for mom, who was driving.

Dad: *intense snoring*

Katie: Is Dad dying?

Mom: Katie, I gotta deal with that every night. *Whispers* Pray for me.

We both quietly laughed.

James: *shivers* K-Kate.....*snore* F-Furby...*shivers then snore*.....smack with broom.....*loud snore*

I take my jacket off and out it over James.

James: *snore* So cozy. *long snore*

Katie: *mutters* heh. Adorable.

Mom: You like him, don't ya?

I jumped.

Katie: *quietly* Mom!

Mom continued teasing.

Mom: Don't lie. I see the way you look at him.....and don't get me started on how he looks at you. It's so cute!

Katie: I.......*quietly* mayormaynotlikeJD.

Mom: What was that?

Katie: Fine! I may or may not like him, ok? Just *whispers* don't tell him yet, ok?

Mom: My lips are sealed.

The car was silent for a moment, save for the snoring and sleep talking James and Dad were doing.

Mom: Y'know, you're a lot like your dad.

Katie: That's crazy! *Laughs*

As I laughed I made a loud snorting noise. Dad made the same noise immediately afterward. I froze.

Mom: There's more to your dad than you think.

Mom took out a photo book.

Mom: Here. I was gonna give this to you when you left but.......check the first page.

I turn to the first page and was surprised.

(I wanted to put a picture in, but Google seems to hate me cuz I can't find it.)

It was a picture of Mom and Dad in front of a very nice looking cabin.

Katie: Wow! You two look like hipsters! Were you in some indie folk band?

Mom: Believe it or not, your dad was an artist, himself. That cabin right there? He built that with his own two hands.

Katie: You're kidding! This is very beautiful.

Mom: It was. Ever since I met him, it was his dream to live in the woods. That cabin was his pride and joy. But, y'know.....it didn't work out. I think he's just scared it'll happen to you, y'know?

Katie: Why'd he just give up?

Aaron woke up and pointed ahead of us.

Aaron: Mom, what's that?

Mom: Huh? WHOA!!!!

SCRRRREEEEEEECCCHHHH!!!!

The car was brought to a sudden halt waking everyone up. I heard a thud.

James: OW!! MY NOSE!!!

Katie: Oh my gosh, are you ok!?

James: Yeah. Yeah. Just a sore nose. Hehe.
