Chapter Twenty Five

Caitlin's P.O.V

"Caitlin? Can you babysit your baby brother please?" I heard someone call... or I think I did, I'm too busy dancing to sleeping with sirens - "if you can't hang"

"CAITLIN!" Someone shouted, I pressed pause on my laptop before heading downstairs.

"Yeah, did you call me?" I asked my mom who was in the kitchen making sandwiches.

"Yes, I called you... what were you doing up there talking to Luke?" My mom questioned me with a raise eyebrow.

I smile. "No, I was listening to music by sleeping with sirens, their songs are amazing..."

"You, Caitlin are band obsessed..." Mom proclaimed.

"Tell me something I don't know..."

"Can you baby sit your little brother today. I have some work to do at the office; they want me to file some documents for next week's presentation..."

"Okay... can Luke come over?"

My mom automatically gave me a raised eyebrow. I laugh. "We're not going to do anything mom I promise..."

"Hmm... okay Caitlin." Mom replied.

"I made you guys some sandwiches, if you're hungry. Don't mess up the house. Love you Caitlin, look after your brother and don't make out with Luke the whole time."

"Ugh. I won't make out with Luke the whole time, maybe just once, or twice or half the time... and I will look after Alex..." I lied. Only about the first part of course I'll look after my baby brother even though he's 5 years old. He's such a hand full but I love him.

"See you soon Caitlin." Mom says before putting on her coat and heading towards the front door, I follower her before kissing her goodbye and closing the door after her.

"See you later Mom."

If you're wondering if I have a dad, I don't. He left me, my mom and my brother 5 years ago when my mom was pregnant with Alex. He turned out to be a big fat lying cheat. I hated him for leaving us; Luke was there for me during that time. I physically wanted to kill someone when I found out. I swear I could commit mass murder, if Luke wasn't there to calm me down. Anyways, I don't want to talk about it.

I run upstairs and grabbed my phone to text Luke, I told him to meet me in the local park, where we use to hang out together. I got dressed into some jeans and a top before heading to Alex's room. His door was open; he was playing with some Lego blocks.

"Hey there Alex"

Alex stopped playing and got up to hug me. He always does this. It's so cute.

"Do you want to go to the park today Alex?"

Alex smiles and nods his head. I took his hand and we headed to his closet. It was filled with baby clothes. "Now what are you going to wear?"

Alex points at his favourite t-shirt which was a red and white checked shirt. I took the t-shirt off the hanger and grabbed some baby jeans for him to wear. After I helped him get dressed I checked my phone and saw I got a message from Luke.

Okay, see you soon, can't wait to see Alex. I haven't seen him in a while ~ Luke

We arrived at the park and I let Alex run off to the climbing frames and swings whilst I sat on the park bench watching him, waiting for Luke to arrive.

I started scrolling through my news feed on Facebook whilst still observing Alex. After scrolling pass at least 5 selfies all posted by my friends, 25+ different quotes. I'm interrupted by someone's presence.
