I was lying down on the floor staring up at the ceiling. Well you may be wondering why I'm doing this and that's because my mom decided to get me this white fluffy carpet which reminds me of very furry puffy white kitties. So I came from school and saw this so I decided to lay on it. And here I am now.

I should probably go downstairs to eat but how am I gonna get up? I rolled over so I was laying on my stomach. I put my hand out to get up. I was almost there but I fell down. Ugh why does this kitty carpet have to be so comfortable? I wonder if this carpet was actually made of cats... Oh my gosh! I'm probably laying on 100 cats! But its so soft... I nuzzled my face deeper into the carpet. So soft...

"Basil! Come downstairs, there's a surprise waiting for you!"

I put my head up. Surprise?

"Coming!" I yelled. I got up and looked down at the carpet. Until next time kitties.

I went down the stairs and walked towards the living room.

"Whats-" I froze.

After 3 years my dad was finally back from Iraq.

"Hey babygirl" he smiled. I ran to him and gave him the biggest bear hug ever.

"Daddy" I sobbed. "I missed you so much"

"Don't cry I'll be staying this time, pinky promise basil"

I pulled away from him and looked up at him. He looks so different from last time. His hair covers his eyes now and has light stubble on his chin. He looks a little older but he still looked young to me.

I grabbed his pinky with mine and said "Better keep the promise, punk"

He smirked "Well I guess you wouldn't mind me throwing out that Ed Sheeran sweatshirt  I got you online”

I gasped "You wouldn't"

"Oh I would" he smirked.

I hit his arm. "Jerk!"

He chuckled "You love me though"

"Eh a little" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well in that case..." my feet weren't touching the ground anymore and I felt myself being lifted in the air. And well that was when the accident happened.

 10 minutes later~

 We were all sitting at the table. Mom and dad were smiling at eachother and holding hands while Pierce like an idiot was sticking carrots up his nose. I rolled my eyes. He's 18 years old and still hasn't matured, I'm surprised he's lucky enough to hook up with girls every week. Yes my brother was a man whore. I felt someone kick me under the table. I looked up and saw my dad glaring at me. I smirked.

"Aww big boy has a booboo on his forehead ?" I said

He glared at me even more "It was your fault!"

"You started tickling me! I am not responsible for any injuries if you tickle me!" I laughed.

"But but!"

I laughed even more.

 "Honey its just a little bruise, stop being a baby and suck it up" my mom said . My dad's face was priceless. Pierce and I were laughing our asses off.

"Dad- you're- such- a- baby" Pierce was holding his stomach form the laughter. We were all laughing while my dad just sat there with his arms crossed over his chest, like a 9 year old.

“I’m going upstairs” dad muttered.

“I’ll be up there in a few babe” my mom winked.

My dad’s face lit up “K babe!”

Me and Pierce groaned. “Mom!” we said in unison.

“What?” she said innocently

“I’ll go wash the dishes so you and dad can do whatever you guys are gonna do”

Pierce got up and put the plates in the sink “Yeah I’ll help too”

Mom and I gasped “Pierce doing dishes?!?”

He rolled his eyes “Yeah get over it”

My mom came over and kissed us both on the cheek “Goodnight guys”

“Goodnight mom” we both said.

We were halfway through the dishes when something hit me. Taylor! I haven’t seen Taylor since I came back. I wonder where she is, I really miss her.

I turned to Pierce and asked “Hey where’s Taylor?”

“She went on this lake trip thing with her boyfriends and the others”

“Oh” I sighed. I really really miss her.

It was 9:30 and we were done with the dishes. Pierce and I put everything in its place and headed upstairs.

“Goodnight Pierce”

“Night Basil”

And we both went our separate ways. I headed to my room and grabbed my blue puppy paws onsie, my towel and my underwear. I headed to my bathroom and took a bubble bath. Nothing like a bubble bath to calm me down.  After soaking myself in happiness, I dried off and put my strawberry lotion on. I put on my onsie and grabbed my IPhone and put my headphones in. I played ‘Do you mind’ by The xx and fell into a peaceful sleep.
