Midnight

Reid Dolton

It's finally summer after a very long school year but we survived. I'm very excited to go and live with my brother. I just finished packing my things. I am very excited but also nervous because I won't know anyone at school. "Hey sis" my brother says from behind me. I turn around and see him standing in the doorway. He's here to pick me up to drive me to his house because I don't like flying. "This is my friend Alex" he says as someone walks past him "hey Alex I'm Roma " I say. "Theo, can you help me with my bags please" he grabs a few of my things and goes downstairs and so do I "so do you speak Italian or is it only your brother who does?" I hear Alex ask

"yeah I speak Italian too but I usually only do it when I'm talking to my parents or my brother sometimes " once we get outside I put my stuff in my brother's car and see someone in the back seat on their phone "who's the guy?" I hear my brother start laughing "that's my brother Reid " I hear Alex say behind me "but he is kinda cute" I laugh a little "ok shut up Roma and get in the car" I see the boy smirking. I went back inside to say my goodbyes to my mom and dad.

We are 4 hours into the car ride and I'm starting to get hungry "I'm hungry" I say to my brother "what do you want" he asks "McDonald's" I say while getting out one of my books from my bag "yo Theo can we stop at a gas station to get some snacks and drinks too" he nods. We get to a gas station and we get out of the car to go inside. I immediately go to the drinks specifically the monsters. I pick my favorite one then went to get my favorite snacks.

I look over and see Reid grab a monster, the same one as me too. I pay for my things and walk back out to the car. It's starting to get cold so I grab a blanket. After a few minutes Reid walks out, Alex and Theo are right behind him. We finally make it to McDonald's "what do you want Roma" he asks me. I tell him what I want and then he asks Alex and Reid if they want anything. They both say no, he gets out of the car and walks inside.

"So Roma, why did you decide you wanted to live with your brother" Alex asks "I just wanted to get away from my mom and dad. They are great parents but it's weird not having Theo around and ever since he moved I've been kinda lonely "and I missed my brother" I continue. He continues asking me questions as we wait for my brother. Finally, your brother comes back out and hands me the food "thank you" I say with a smile

"Benvenuto a tuo" he gets back into the car. I start eating as I watch criminal minds. I then go onto Spotify to listen to some Chase Atlantic so I can fall asleep. I rest my head on the window and close my eyes. A few minutes later I fall asleep. When I wake up I feel a head on top of mine. I look over confused and I see that it's Reid. He has his head on mine and is asleep. I look at Alex and Theo and they're laughing. Of course, they are why wouldn't they be. I just roll my eyes and try to fall back asleep.

When I wake up I hear my brother say "we're almost there" I try moving my head from under Reid and trying not to wake him up. His head falls onto my shoulder "he looks cute when he's asleep" Alex chuckles "if you think that's cute wait until you see Avery she is so adorable" he says "who's Avery" I hear Reid groan as he wakes up "it's their little sister" my brother says "finally awake sleepy head" Alex says "Fuck off asshole" he takes his head off my shoulder "looks like someone's in a bad mood" I turn my head to look out the window "can I meet Avery" "Maybe we can bring her over once you get your things inside" We all get out of the car.

I'm still unpacking a few things when Theo walks into my room "hey do you want to come hang with us?" my brother asks "only if we can watch a movie and I get to pick it" I say cause I know if he picks it will be something weird like anime "ya fine whatever" he says as he leaves and I go get changed into a pair of black short-shorts and a midnight blue crop top with stitches face on it. I grab my phone and put my hair up in a high ponytail and went downstairs as I walk further down the stairs I smell popcorn. I hope my brother won't burn it this time, the last time we had a family movie night he made the popcorn and he burnt it. I walk into the kitchen and see my brother making popcorn.

"hey don't burn it this time please" I say kinda yelling but I want to be able to actually eat the popcorn "calm down it was one time" he says "ya I know but I don't want to eat burnt popcorn" I say with an attitude "ok well if you want to watch a movie with us lose the attitude and they will be here soon" he says. I go over to the couch and grab the remote, I go onto Netflix and search up the . I hear a knock at the door but I don't feel like getting up so I stay right where I am. I then hear the door open and see Alex walk in and Reids right behind him holding a little girl. "hey Roma" Alex says as he walks over and sits down on the couch. 

"Roma this is Avery, Avery this is Roma Theo's sister" Alex says I wave at Avery she waves back and Reid walks over and sits down on the couch right next to me. My brother then walks out with the popcorn. "If you burnt that i will kill you" i say just to remind him of it "just shut up" he says as he sticks up the middle finger at me and mouths 'fuck you.' i mouth back 'your a bitch'  "just sit down i want to watch the movie" i say giving him the middle finger "Ok calm down" he says throwing his hands up in the air like he had caught doing something. 

He sits down and we start to watching the movie. Out the corner of my eye every so often i see Reid looking at me. why the fuck is he staring at me?
