AJ's P.O.V.

We get to the car and pile everything into the backseat with me since there is no room in the very back.

We leave Target and make our way down the road. Autumn and Ayden are up front discussing where we should go for dinner. I look at the time on the dash and notice that it is already 6:30pm.

A short time goes by and they finally pick where to eat, and park the car. We get out and walk into the restaurant. We get seated and the waitress asks what we want to drink.

"I'll have a Pepsi." Says Ayden while he looks at the menu.

"I'll have a Dr. Pepper." Autumn says.

"I'll also have a Dr. Pepper please." I say, giving the waitress a smile.

"Alright, I'll be right out with your drinks and to take your order." The waitress said. She turns around and walks off leaving us to look at the menu.

We walk into the house with every single one of our arms full to the brim with bags and boxes. I get up to my room and just put everything on the floor of my closet, Ayden and Autumn following behind me.

It takes at least  3 trips from the car to my room but we finally got everything up to my room. I sit on my bed with a big yawn, and look at the clock that is on the nightstand to see that it is already 9:00pm.

I walk back down the stairs to find Autumn and Ayden so I can say goodnight. Shopping literally all day took everything out of me and I'm ready to go to sleep. I walk into the kitchen to see them putting our leftovers from dinner in the fridge.

"Hey guys, I think I'm going to go to bed. All that shopping really took a lot out of me." I say with another yawn.

"Amen to that" Ayden says with a laugh.

"Oh shut up Ayd." Autumn says hitting Ayden on the chest.

"Anyways.... Goodnight AJ." Says Ayden coming around the counter and gives me a hug.

"Goodnight AJ, sleep well and we will see you in the morning." Autumn says, also coming around the counter joining our hug.

"Goodnight. Thank you for everything, you guys are the best." I say heading back towards the stairs.

I get up to the top of the stairs and walk down the hallway to my room. I get into my room and close my door behind me. I grab my pj's off my bed and go into the bathroom to change, wash my face and brush my teeth.

I finish in the bathroom and walk to my bed, pull back the covers and climb in. I cover myself up, turn off the bedside lamp and get into a comfortable position before I finally go to sleep.

I walk up to the sun shining in my eyes through my window. I sit up with a yawn and look over at my alarm clock to see that it's 8:45am. I get out of bed and head downstairs to see if Ayden and Autumn are up. I walk into the kitchen to see them sitting at the table eating cereal.

" Hey kiddo, get yourself a bowl and have some cereal. The bowls are in the top right cupboard and the spoons are in the top left drawer." Ayden says, taking another bite of his cereal.

I grab a bowl and spoon, walk to the table and sit. I set the bowl down with the spoon and pour some cocoa pebbles into the bowl followed by some milk and then start to eat.
