(Dalton)

"Your face" i shout, as he leans on the wall.

"What did he do?"

"What happened" i ask him.

He sighs, "nothing" he mumbles.

"What did you just hit yourself or..." he cuts me off. "No" he smacks my shoulder gently, "why would I hit myself Dalton" he says.

"Then what happened"

"Who hit you?"

He looks toward me and whispers "my father" so then others won't hear him.

Oh how much I've wanted to hit that vile guy.

I help Lukas up and give him a hug. "Stay here" i pause and let go, "I'll get the med kit" i say.

"What for" he grabs my hand.

"I'm fine" he says.

"I'm not concussed or anything" he tells me.

"Then why am I here" i shrug.

"Because, everybody's leaning on the walls" he mumbles.

I shrug again, still confirmed.

"Meaning"

"Meaning that I just need someone here to remind me not to go and kill my dad" he says.

I smirk, "kill him"

"No" he nudges me.

"Why not" ...

"Can i do it" i ask.

He nudges me again, "no" he says.

I chuckle.

"Right, no" he pauses, "lets just sneak out and maybe even stay out so then I don't get beat around for being late home" he tells me.

"Okay. Wait why were you late home?"

Lukas has a straight face...

"I wasn't. I was like 2 seconds late and walked in on them all arguing" he grabs his jumper.

"Right, because half of me would love to take all my anger out on you"

He knows me too well, he knows my sarcasm.

"Ha ha really funny" he pushes me out the door and we both chuckle.

(Avery)

I stir my cold coffee beside my father who's reading the news.

My mother is still unpacking ...

"Heard of this" my father goes on, "Lemiere Clouds latest hit" he rambles.

I recognise the last name.

Wait, Cloud ... Lukas Cloud.

"I know a Cloud" i tell him.

He looks up from the paper, "what" he says.

"Lukas Cloud" i tell him.

"That's his son" he mumbles and goes back to reading.

So, his son, Lukas Cloud is in the mafia.

That's new.

"Avery" my mother yells, "someone's at the door darling" she finishes.

I get up and spin around my dad and then walk toward the door to see her...

Olivia Brooklyn

She smiles and has her arms crossed.

"Hi" i say, with a smile back and a hug.

My mother leaves us be.

"Please tell me your ready to roam the city in what your already wearing" she tells me.

"Of course" i say.

"Good" she closes to door behind me.

We start walking down the street of Boston. "So, have you ever been here" she asks.

"I have, but I don't remember most of it" i tell her.

"That's okay, there's so many places and things to remember" she says.

"Yeah" i sigh, "New York is a big place" i say.

So we begin roaming around the city.

Then it leads to us stopping for food in Time Square.

Even though, yes ... we are 13.

Liv being the best tour guide, tells me everything she knows about this giant place we live in.

Then it finishes with a coffee stop, at some cafe in Boston called Bostonova.

(Dalton)

We went to the gym.

We went for food and we went to mini golf.

While mini golfing, he won.

So to celebrate the win. We're now sitting in my house. On the living room sofa, drowning our sorrows with alcohol.

"That sounds so depressing" Lukas chuckles toward me tipsy.

"But it's true" i say.

I'm also tipsy.

"I'm not that fucking sad" he slurs.

"I'm not neither" i slur.

"We're drowning" he goes off ...

"Our sorrows" we both laugh ...

"In alcohol" he finishes.

I wipe my eyes and sigh.

Lukas, beside me begins to stretch and then lays over me.

"Love you buddy" i tell him, while tapping his shoulder.

"Love you too" he says.
