The Other Carpenter

Six

"You're just mad cause I have a dinosaur to carry me and you have to walk." I said sticking my tongue out at Aaron.

"Matthew please drop her." Aaron said playfully.

"As a faithful dinosaur I can't drop my passenger so you can suck a lemon." Matthew said bitterly.

Aaron held his heart and fake cried.

"You're so mean Matthew."

Everyone was laughing at him and I smirked at him.

"Butthead." He mumbled.

"Poppy pants." I fake coughed.

"One time!" He whined.

Everyone else was almost crying by now and they were all red. They eventually calmed down and Taylor wiped his tears.

"That had to be planned." He said looking between us two.
"When would we have time to plan that? You and Hayes were with us the whole time." I asked.

"You two must have sibling telepathy."

"Hayes and I are close and we don't have that so it wasn't planned. Sometimes things just happen like that." Nash shrugged.

We finally got to O2L's front door and Cameron knocked. Jc opened the door and smiled.

"Hey guys. Come in." He said stepping to the side.

We all walked in but Matthew and I were last. Jc grabbed me off Matthew's back and smirked at me.

"Hey Lily." He said evilly.

"Please not again." I groaned.

"You know what time it is." He smiled.

He shut the door and started spinning in a circle faster and faster. I squealed and Jc stopped after a while letting me down. I crashed straight to the floor and he laughed.

"Good to see you Carpenter."

"You're an ass nugget." I groaned holding my head.

"Aww come on Lil." Taylor said picking me up bridal style.

I could hear other voices I didn't know but I didn't care to identify them at the moment because my whole worlds was spinning.

"Who's that?" A guy asked. Don't ask me who. I don't know.

"That's my sister Lily. What's wrong with her?" Aaron asked.

"I spun her in a circle really fast for a few minutes." Jc said.

"That's just wrong." Another guy said.

"Jc does that every time he sees her." Aaron said.

The room stopped spinning and I looked at everyone.

"See she's fine." Jc shrugged taking a drink of his Arizona.
Taylor set me down but put his hands on my shoulders. He must've known I was almost going to fall.

"So Aaron introduce me to your other friends." I said standing next to him.

"That's Kian, Sam, Ricky, Trevor, Connor and you know Jc." He said pointing at each of them.

I waved at everyone but Jc. I pointed at him.

"You're still an ass nugget." I said while glaring at him.

"I'll be an ass nugget. That's fine. You just know that you'll always be shorter and small enough that I can pick you up and spin you around." Jc smirked.

I groaned and walked away from him. I knew someone was following me but I figured it was Aaron. I sat on the couch and Taylor sat next to me. I laid my head on his lap and he looked down at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. My head hurts a little but I'll be fine." I shrugged.

He nodded and started playing with my hair. He looked at the chain around my neck and pull it out of my shirt.

"Why is there three arrows?" He asked.

"My grandpa bought me the chain and took Aaron and I to pick the charms. I decided I wanted three arrows. My grandpa picked one and so did Aaron and I."

"So do they symbolize anything?" He asked.

"Yes. I have one for each important man in my life. My brother, my grandfather, and one day my future husband will be part of it. For now the black one means nothing." He nodded and continued playing with my hair.

It really is relaxing. I pulled my phone out and seen a text from my mom.

Thank god it's only been sitting there a minute. She might've gone crazy.

From Mama: Hey baby. How are you?

To Mama: I'm good. How about you?

From Mama: I'm good. Work is stressful but other than that I'm fine.

To Mama: That's good.

"Who are you texting?" Taylor asked.

"My mama." I said looking up at him.

"Responsible child. Always checking in."

"She texted me first and I am definitely not ignoring her."

"Very true."

From Mama: How's Aaron?

To Mama: He's perfectly fine. He doesn't trust the guys around me.

From Mama: He's just being a good older brother.

To Mama: But you would think he would trust his own friends.

From Mama: He's just over protective. You'll live

To Mama: I know I'll live. That wasn't the point of this. I just don't want him being over protective to get in the way of any of friendships. I don't him to falsely accuse anyone of anything. That's all.

From Mama: You tell him that then. I'm sure he'll understand. I have to go now. My lunch break is over. Tell Aaron I love him and I love you as well.

To Mama: Will do. I love you too.

"Aaron! Mama says she loves you!" I shouted.

"Tell her I love her too." He yelled back.

"Do you two always shout?"

"Only when we're across the house from each other." I shrugged.
