No Second Chances Book 1

Chapter 4 - Lies

I woke up that Sunday morning with bad hair. Not even bad. It was horrid! I walked down stairs to the dining room to see half of my siblings awake.

"Where's the wicked witch of the west," I mumbled not caring how I sounded. I was tired.

"What time is it?" I heard Marilyn ask her twin Jaden.

"I don't know but it better be at least noon." he replied.

Children huh? Well, i'm still a child at heart, but you know what I mean.

I went to the cupboards and got myself some cereal. I poured the milk in the box, and ate it. For most people it's not normal, but for me it is. Nobody's around except my siblings so it didn't matter. After I was done eating I threw the box away and headed upstairs into my room. I opened my door, and looked inside in case of monsters. You never know. I went inside my closet, and picked out a really cute dress that had flowers on it, with a light gray cardigan. I looked in my mirror.

So cute!

I was proud of myself for picking an outfit this adorable. I was a singer, not a model. So yeah, I don't usually pick out outfits. But, since I woke up early I had to.

"Start working on chores right now, If you had not finished" The intercom said.

I had finished so I was grateful. I went outside to see who didn't. If you were me right now, you would think this was a daycare. Almost everyone was running around!

I had to warm up my voice in the morning to I went to the music room and sat on the piano.

"La,La,La,La,La" "Do, Re,Mi, Fa,So,La,Ti,Do" "Do, Ti, La,So,Fa,Mi,Re,Do" "Chester Cheetah Chewed a Chunk of Chunky Cheese" I repeated myself at least 8 times.

I flipped open the piano book, and looked at songs.

Hm... What one should I choose?

It was going to be Oliver's birthday soon, so I thought of what guys like, sex, phone sex, and money, and girls.

It was official I was going to sing Birthday Sex by Jeremiah to him. 5 reasons why it was going to be amaze-balls. Yes, I said it. Amaze-balls.

1. I was singing.

2. He was turning 19.

3. Their is going to be a big crowd.

4. Dad and Mom are going to be gone.

5. I was singing.

I didn't think I was that good, but people have told me I am. So I just agree. I'm not special or anything. I don't have songs recorded.

I got up and left the music room. I walked past the exercise room and saw Aaron doing weights.

"Hey, A-Aron,' I said jokingly.

"Hey shoe-Lace," He said back jokingly.

He's the only person who is able to call me shoe-lace. I mean, do I look like a shoe lace? I am a human being who lives on earth. Not a lace who lives on a shoe? Well I hope not.

"You you're doing weights," I mentioned stating the obvious. I should totally face palm myself right now. I am socially awkward just saying. I usually just stay in my room, and watch television, and go on the Internet, you know surfing the web.

I chucked at how funny I was.

"What's funny?" He asked.

"Surfing the web. Via the web?" I laughed again. I studied his face. He was definitely confused!

I really don't understand why guys do weights? Does it help build muscles? They don't need no more. Us girls are weak enough against manly men.

"Well, see you later A-Aron," I told him exiting the room.

I had nothing to do. All sports people were out somewhere so that was 6 gone. I didn't know what Sidney, Miranda, and Oliver were doing.

I'm pretty sure the young ones are eating.

Yes food!

At the thought of that I started skipping to the kitchen.

"Food!"I screamed. I was on team food always! No matter what. It was delicious. I got in the kitchen and saw Matt and Frankie eating a big double fudge, chocolate cake, with caramel. Oh how my mouth started to water from the yumminess.

"I want some," I screamed, and grabbed a spoon and dug in. It tasted so good my mouth was watering.

"Anne, more, please?" I asked our cook kindly. Last night she was sick, so we had a replacement.

Me and cake were meant to be together. I loved it so much. I felt a vibration in my back pocket. I took out my iphone5 and looked at the screen. Arthurs's name flashed on the screen. I felt a smile come across my cheeks. Arthur is my bestest friend. He is in wrestling and football and devoted his life to them. He was state champion when he was a senior, and MVP in football. Arthur was a Blondie/Brownie He always wore his Boston snap back. I first met him when Matt wanted to be in wrestling. He was 3 years older then me, but we didn't care. He was funny, nice and caring and that was that. Most people call him AJ but I perfer Arthur.

After my cake was finished, and I was full I headed upstairs. I was so full, you wouldn't believe it. I checked the text.

Him: Hey, you awake? (;

Me: Yes (;

Him: Oh really now?

Me: Yep! So what's up Arthurrr?

Him: Oh nothing.... Just talking to a sexy beast.

Me: Oh thank you. :)

Him: I meant myself....

Me:Psh. Sure. (: Well, I gotta go. Ttyl! We need to hang out sometime though. I miss you! Bye.<3

Him: Bye Lacey, ttyl. (:

I put my phone in my pocket and headed downstairs. Someone had been calling my name, but I was too involved in the conversation with Arthur to figure out whose voice it was. To my friends, everyone sounds the same. Which is weird. I looked down the staircase and saw Kristen. I scoffed. Nobody likes her or her child, or husband. She should just move on and leave us alone. Aaron stayed, and he's older than Kristen. Aaron loved us more then anybody could. Don't get me wrong. He does have a life. He has this beautiful girlfriend named Lauryn. She didn't really fit in our family. She was laid back, and didn't care about anything. That's what we liked most about her. She stayed about from the press, and paparazzi. Lauryn wasn't the glamour type.

"Hi Lacey," Kristen said while giving me a warm smile.

I looked away, because I knew if I looked at her for too long I would give in. I would give in to her spell. Her spell that caused our family to fall apart for 6 whole months. She ruined us.

"Hello bitch," I told her with no sympathy. I smiled to myself, because I knew she wouldn't say anything back . She was that pathetic.

"That's no way to speak to me," she scowled.

"Oh, should I speak about you then? Well, you are a whore, a slut, a pathetic lying low life piece of-," I began.

"Don't you dare"

"I already went there," I said while walking out the house.

I ran 5 blocks to AJs house. I was exhausted but I didn't care. My makeup was already ruined from the tears. Kristen ruined me. No doubt about it.
