ROBERT'S POV AGAIN:

I walk up to my uncle's front door and push it open, I think he's off work today. I walk into the kitchen and him and my cousin (and also his daughter) are at the table, Molly (his daughter) is painting, she gets off school at 3 pm because she's in primary school. She runs up to her and gives me a tight hug "HI HI HI HI HI ROBBIE!!!!! CAN YOU PAINT WITH ME AND RILEY?!?!" I look down and pick her up, she's small, like really small. Taking after her dad of course. My uncle looks at me and coughs as he puts down his phone and quinches his fag and he coughed. "Well Rob, how was school?" I pause, I don't wanna tell him what happened so I make up something. "It was alright, I got a headache during maths though." His face softened "Aww... You poor thing.. You want some Ponstan or Panadol? I shake my head. I'll be fine, they just make you drowsy. Then Riley ran down the stairs "Yay Robbie is back from school!!!" She comes over and clings out of me too. "Pretty please will you paint with me and Molly???" She put on puppy dog eyes and so did Molly, Uncle John gave me a "Your own issue, not mine" look and I jokingly sighed "Alright..." I threw my bag at the kitchen table and I sat down with them. They are both too short to sit up properly so they use loads of Molly's bed cushions, Molly offers me one "Robbie you want a cushion??!" She pulled up one that said "Princess" on it and I had to hold back my laughter.. Uncle John then says "Darling Cousin Robert doesn't need one, he's a big and tall boy. He's 14 now."
Molly pouts. "Daddy??? Will I ever be as tall as Robbie?!?" She now looked excited. Riley was too distracted in her painting of her in her football gear, she LOVED football. He smiled "Of course you will, if you pass out your poor misfortune father, I'm a bit on the short side..." Molly giggled "Robbie is nearly the same size as you!" The three of us laugh at that, Molly is telling the truth though. Uncle John is tiny for some reason.. It's kinda weird, the rest of us are tall? But anyways me, Riley and Molly did some painting for a while and then sooner than I thought it was time to go to sleep. It's fine though... I was drained and I was staying at Uncle John's house tonight anyways. I got into my comfy Xbox pajamas and crawled into bed. I'm lucky it's a Friday and I don't have homework...
