- Are you sure you packed everything? Coats, hats, gloves, outfits for the snowman - I looked at the phone at that last part & chuckled.  

- Why would I dress a snowman on Juicy Couture Coats & Forever 21 blouses? - I said laughing 

- To make a him a cool snowman, one who knows fashion  

- Okay Jen. - I said sarcastically - Is O there?  

- Yeah. He's bugging me to talk to you. Why can't we come over again? - I sighed. I have told her like 10 times already!  

- O. If you're there— 

- ON IT! Her house is full of boxes twin sis. It's hard for him to take care of 3 kids, let alone 5! And— 

- SHHH! We'll be there in five. Tell Mr. Williams we can take care of ourselves - before I could protest she hung up. I sighed & threw myself on top of my suitcase. It's been 4 days since I last went to school. I had helped my Dad around the house, cleaned it up, helped J with the bills & of course made a little research on this nice Boarding School. I found a picture on this webpage that recommended schools. According to it St. Jude Boarding School For Future Entrepeneurs was built on a big isolated section a few miles from London. I wasn't sure If I wanted to be an entrepeneur but it said there that some former graduates from St. Jude succedeed in other careers besides Business & that was fine with me though I still have NO IDEA of what I want to do when I grow up. I jumped out of my bed remembering Jen & Oliver were coming home. My Dad hates surprises, especially unpleaseant ones. Its not like he hates them Its just that...well...he hates being disobeyed.  

- DAD! - I screamed from my room - Jen & O are coming! I tried to stop them but you know Jen.  

- Stop screaming!! Dad's out! - James ridiculously hot body popped up on my bedroom door. He was wearing a very sweaty grey under shirt & some black sport shorts. His water bottle was half empty. - He called me a few minutes ago. He had to take care of some business at the firm before we leave.  

- Oh. Thanks sweat pants - he looked down at his outfit & chuckled - So. Is it okay if my friends come? 

- Sure. May Belle's got company as well - I nodded remembering & he left to take a shower. James was so annoying but the best brother at the same time. I smiled as he left. He graduated a few years back & was the pride of the family. Mom and Dad gave him everything he needed & helped him on his college applications. He was the happiest teen Ive ever seen. He had gotten a really cool job in San Fran and visited us for every holiday. I dont know what he does you know, but everytime I ask him he says its really cool & I would be perfect for it. Dad doesnt know either, at least I think he doesnt. Everytime he mentions James ' work he changes the subject. Anyways all this happiness that reigned in the house changed with Mom's sudden accident. He kept saying 'Im sorry' and 'Its my fault'. Dad just comforted him but never said anything, just had a sad but fierce look on his face everytime James blamed himself. After a few days after the burial he just...dissapeared. I remember I hated him for that few months. We missed mom yes. We were mad with the drunk driver yes. But did we run away? NO! After a few months he came back. He seemed different. He had found a new job in San Fran and had to take it as soon as possible. He apologized and promised to visit often. Of course he never did so we had to go to him. He payed the tickets & everything. He had so much money I was afraid what his job was & where he was getting it from but he assured me it had no drug relations. I believed him. He's my brother & the best there can be. The doorbell rang & I went to get the door.  

- Hey guys Im gla— It was not Jen nor O on the door but two big, tall, black colored man dressed in black suits with a suitcase each which looked just like J's. - Umm. Hello? - I said closing the door a bit.
