My New BFF

Chapter 13

I was really exhausted from the flight and had taken a three-hour nap as soon as I went to my childhood home and went to my bedroom. I woke up and went downstairs to eat and hang out with my family. It felt nice to be with my family and catch up with them. I had missed them but a small part of me still felt bad because of Bex and what she had told me before I left. I was scared for her, Jolene and Bree's safety. I did not want to risk their safety and lives in any way and leaving for a few days made sense. If I am not seen with them, they can't possibly be a target, right? I thought to myself. 

My family and I played board and card games and we talked about random stuff just to help catch up with each other for a while until we got bored and my brothers cleaned up our mess as my parents and I headed to the living room and sat down on the couch. 

"I'm really glad you're home." Mom said as she gave me a warm smile.

"Me too." I responded and smiled.

"We are really sorry about Rachel." Dad replied.

"Yeah," I mumbled. "Me too but I am slowly getting better, I just miss her though."

"We are all here for you though, you are not alone in this." Mom assured me.

"We really missed you." Dad said. 

"I missed you guys too." I responded.

"We are done!" Cole cheered as Cole and John went into the living room together and sat on the couch. 

"Did you guys miss me?" I asked.

"No, we did not miss you at all." Cole joked and chuckled. 

"Hey!" I giggled and playfully smacked Cole in the arm.

"But seriously," John sighed. "Of course, we missed our favorite sister."

"I am your only sister." I reminded him and laughed.

"I know that dummy." John laughed and crossed his arms.

"Don't call each other dummy." Dad warned.

"We are just joking dad." I responded as I laughed more.
