*don't forget to vote*

Natalie woke up almost forgetting about her argument with Topper. She woke up and got ready for the day. She headed downstairs seeing breakfast already made with a note. She recognised Rafe's handwriting immediately making her smile. The note said we're sorry for yesterday. Here's already made breakfast, your favourite, hope you enjoy it. Off on boat today. Need us, ring me. love, RC.

But before she ate she heard machines outside on the dock where the boat normally is. She sees Topper pacing back and forth with his hand in his phone and Rafe talking to a man. She jogged outside wondering what's up.

'How much is this going to cost?' Rafe questioned the man. No one knew Natalie was there. But she gasped as she saw the expensive boat being pulled out of the water.

'A boat doesn't sink like this kid. Gonna have to say 25, 30K.' The man said. Soon Topper came over as Rafe noticed Natalie behind him.

'What the hell happened Topper?' She questioned her brother. She connected the dots, Topper was on call to mom telling her what happened.

'Why are you asking me? I don't know.' Topper groaned as he face-planted himself.

'Mom is not happy I'm guessing.' Natalie muttered as she headed closer to the dock. They all said goodbye to the man as they pulled it out. Soon enough they all went in and sat in the kitchen as Natalie ate.

'Cute apology. I forgive.' She smiled as Rafe and Topper looked at her. The thing about Topper is he doesn't know how to apologise as he was stubborn. But Rafe tries his best.

'Nat I-'

'Shush it's over now.' Natalie hushed over her best friend as she finished eating. She grabbed her bag and was about to head out till Topper stopped her.

'Where you off Nat?' He questioned the girl. She looked at him with her eyes wide. Wasn't it obvious as she was in her gym kit.

'Gym clearly. To dance maybe a workout.' She was explaining confused. She was nearly 18 and her brother didn't trust her.

'Okay just checking as you've pulled this stunt before.' Topper checked her bag as Rafe came over.

'Is this about when she went to a random field with a bag full of beer when she was 15? Because that was funny.' Rafe chuckled. It was a good night till Rafe brought home a drunken teenager. Topper was hanging out with Rafe and Kelce that day so Natalie decided to sneak out. When Topper went to her room to ask if she wanted food. He saw she wasn't there and made Rafe search for her.

'I'm off to the gym dipshit. Come if you want. You know supervise me like I'm 5.' Natalie smirked as her sarcasm rolled out. Topper just hit her jokingly as he spoke up.

'Kelce was going to meet us at the gym. So yeah we're coming.' Topper replied making the girl groaned. She was joking about him coming. But she went quickly to hit some of the equipment. She did about 30 minutes on them before the 3 boys walked in.

'Ooo get it, Nat.' Kelce whistled as Natalie stopped. She walked out and headed to the empty dance studio. She always came in here when her brother and his friends came the same day.

They knew where she was but didn't bother coming in as it was her safe spot. She played the music loudly on the speakers to annoy the boys in the room next door. She stretched her body before she slipped some ballet shoes on. She did a bit on the bar and some pirouettes.

Soon after another song came on. It was more lively than the last. She laughed loudly as she took her ballet shoes off to move quicker and faster to the beat of her favourite song. She always loved dancing since she was younger. Rafe and Topper always watched her solos and competitions. As the song finished she bowed as she always does to boost her ego and grabbed her drink. But one thing she didn't know was Rafe was at the door clapping loudly applauding the girl.

'You were always good at dancing Nat.' Rafe praised her gaining her attention. She grabbed her bag and belongings as she walked over to the boy.

'Too bad I don't do competitions anymore for your enjoyment.' She replied back as she walked out. Rafe was next to her walking to her brother and Kelce. She sat on the bench press as she waited for her brother.

'Well, we enjoyed the video of you the other day.' Topper smirked as he finished his reps of pull-ups. Natalie went red as she covered her face from embarrassment.

'Wait Topper you were saying the boat got sank.' Kelce spoke up changing the topic. Natalie furrowed her brows confused as to why it was brought up.

'It was Pope.' Rafe muttered. It made Natalie snort on her drinking choke. Rafe had to help her to breathe again.

'Pope yeah. Hey, Rafe if we didn't jump him I think this would have never had happened.' Topper brought it to his attention. Natalie couldn't stop laughing until Kelce asked what was so funny.

'It's the fact you think Pope would do that.' She giggled at the thought. The three older boys pulled confused looks.

'Why would he risk his scholar for revenge?  Come on think harder.' Natalie explained as she headed out. She went in her car and headed home to freshen up. As she got out of the shower, she got a phone call from JJ.

'Hey, Princess. Come down for some shooting.' JJ offered as he looked at the girl on face time.

'Not shooting an actual person I hope.' Natalie replied as she took her camera off to get dressed. She put on a lace-up floral white playsuit that had red roses on it. She also had her hair is braids with lose strands.

'I promise I'm not shooting any human being. Just some bottles, Mr teddy, and shit.' JJ answered honestly as Natalie laughed. JJ then begged the girl to come promising it'll be fun. Which she did. She drove down to JJ's place as he had a headset on and shooting with the semiautomatic.

JJ was behind the girl trying to explain how to shoot and stand properly and how to aim. But before he could Natalie was already hitting perfectly with the weapon. It shocked JJ as she took the headset and smirked at the boy.

'How the fuck do you know how to do that?' JJ shot the question at her swiftly. He was seriously impressed with the girl's skill.

'My dad takes me shooting as Topper isn't into it. Kind of sad how he isn't.' Natalie explained as JJ asked her if he can come next time. She said yes but before they could speak again Pope came running over.
