Rosalynnes' POV:
I heard Landon yell he was going for a walk before I heard the door slam shut. I quickly glanced at Deja and Cristina with a look of concern and a slight frown on my face. Cristina spoke up saying he was probably just shocked and hurt like the rest of us. I nodded and Deja mumbled a quiet "Yea probably." We all looked back at Lily and started to smile while we patted her head, and laughed as she licked Deja's face. Suddenly we heard my mom and Peter walk back in and immediately we all started to frown and where jerked back to reality. My mom and Peter sat down across from us and it was quiet for what felt like an eternity but was really only 3 minutes. I finally broke the quiet asking what happened with Landon. Peter said, "He was just taking it a little hard and decided he needed to go for some fresh air." I felt a little bad for him and then decided to ask if they wanted me to go look for him and see if he's ok, after all he couldn't have gotten that far. They both looked at each other quickly before basically yelling no. We where all shocked by this sudden outburst but my mom whispered, "sorry we're a little stressed." At this comment I was so angry. They're stressed? They have no right to be stressed. It's me, dad, Deja, Christina, and Landon who are being affected by this. I mean none of us knew anything and now our worlds are being turned upside down. After another few minutes of silence my mom said it would be best if we all went upstairs and slept for a while to clear our heads. I replied that maybe I should just go home to dad for the night so he doesn't worry and asked what he would think if mom didn't come home tonight. She said, "Don't worry swee—-" I cut her off with a dirty glance, "Rose I told dad I had a work emergency I couldn't miss and that I might be done for 3 or so days, he also thinks your staying at a friends for a couple nights, so he shouldn't get suspicious. He said he'll be completely fine on his own and needed to do some garden and house work anyways." I let out a scoff at this wondering how many times she's faked work trips to come to her second family. I said that I would sleep on the couch and I would only stay for a couple of nights while she explained herself then I'm going home to dad and obviously telling him. She begged me not to tell him but I wouldn't let up so she gave up after a while. Then she said, "you don't have to sleep on the couch you can sleep in one of the girls room, Deja, Christina, is it ok if she shares one of your rooms?" Christina replied we can just share Deja's since she was planning on sleeping in her room tonight anyways. My mom nodded and headed upstairs with Peter.Whitney/ Martias POV:
Me and Peter decided to head upstairs to get ready for bed. As we where walking up the stairs I whispered, "what are we going to do?" Peter replied saying he doesn't know but we'll figure it out and he gave me a little hug before walking into our room and picking out some pajamas.There room:
He picked his pajamas, which where just black and white plaid pants and a white muscle tank top, before heading to the bathroom to change, brush his teeth, and put in his retainer. I decided to pick my pajamas out as well, which is a black satin short and button up shirt set.
