The NeverLand Kids

Chapter 6

"What's your date like?" Reece asked. "She's cool, I guess. A bit slutty, but it's not like I wanna sleep with her. You feel me?" Jalex asked. She nodded. "Her name's Melanie. You'll meet her at Marshall's house later." He continued. "What are you wearing?" She asked, keeping the conversation rolling. "Just a sweater and skinny jeans." He shrugged. ( http://www.pinterest.com/pin/560487116095809973/ ) Then, pulled it out of the closet. "It takes a good looking guy to rock a sweater like that." She muttered. Before turning in to a giggling mess. "Hey, I happen to love this sweater!" Jalex gasped. Reece just laughed harder. "Don't you have clothes to pack?" He pouted. "Already done." She snickered. "Well...You should get ready to go shopping with Bri." He tried. Believe it or not, Reece could take a hint. "Okay, okay. I'm going." Upon hearing her leave, Jalex rethought his outfit.

Brianna groaned, while Reece yawned. She had been dragged been to three stores and tried on every dress that Bri thought would look, even remotely, good on her. Jalex, being useful, carried Reece' around, after she got too tired to walk. The eldest was about to call it quits, when the fourth store was no good. Reece, trying to cheer her up, said, "Hey, we haven't tried the thrift store, yet!" Brianna offered her a small smile. "You're right." She said. Five dresses later, Brianna squealed. "We've found it! O my God, we found it. It needs a wash but we've found it!" She sang, jumping up and down. ( http://www.pinterest.com/pin/407998047463935780/ ) After Reece took off the dress, she ran to the cashier. "How much is it?" She smiled, putting out her wallet. "Forty eight dollars." Gene, Reece's co-worker, stated. Handing her a fifty, she gesture for Jalex to pick up the bag. "And, I have the perfect shoes and accessories for this dress!" Brianna muttered.

Jalex and Reece were about to fall asleep on Reece remember something. "Lexi, did you ask about the jobs, today?" Reece queried. "Yeah, they all said yes. Wendy's moving tomorrow and was wondering if you could help her."

"Sure! I'll help. How was your day?" 

"Fine. Yours?" 

"It was alright."  They were trying there hardest to stay awake but gave into temptation. 

"Jalex, wake up!" Papa said. "Reece, we're home!" Daddy whispered. Both fifteen year old threw their arms up. Inquiring they wanted to be carried. Both parents chuckle and pick the kids. "Jalex, you're getting a little heavy!" Papa teased. Jalex was/is 5'8", slightly built, and was under weight by a good fifteen pounds. "I'm not heavy. YOU get need to work out more." murmured Jalex. Papa chuckled again. 

Reece bolted up, scared and confused. She looked around then calmed down. My room, she thought. Reece turned on her side to see the time. And found a note. She flipped on her lamp. Dear Reece, it read, your dinners in the fridge. After you eat please pack your stuff. And beach tote. We put your dance outfit in your closet. Love, daddy and papa. P.S Jalex told us about his 'problem' before he went back to sleep. Reece put the note down and got out of bed. At the thought of dinner, her tummy rumbled. Like a kid, she shushed it. Reece was at the top of the stairs when she heard footsteps. Jalex's awake. "Hey, bro!" she greeted him once he was in her viewing area. "I just put your dinner in microwave!" He said. Reece nodded and took a seat next to him. "Milk?" Jalex asked. Reece nodded. The microwave binged. "Here's your lasagna!" Lasagna was one of her favorite dishes. She scarfed it down with in seconds, quickly followed by the milk and a blurb. "I'm full!" she exclaimed. Then walked downstairs to her room.  

~Reece first person POV~ 

I was singing 'King for a Day' by PTV ft. Kellin Quinn, and hitting every note. Then it ended and I froze. There was clapping. I slowly turned around. It was Jalex. Go figures! "You have an AMAZING voice!" he said. "I thought you were sleeping!" I was so trying my hardest not to stutter. I tend to stutter was I'm nervous or scared. "I couldn't fall asleep! And if it help, I play piano, well keyboard." I calmed myself down. "Michael plays bass. Max plays guitars. And Marshall Lee is killer at the drums. Dez is awesome at making videos and taking photos. Claire great at organizing stuff!" Jalex told me. "Mom taught me to drive!" I confessed. He look at me in amazement. "Fifteen! And already knows how to drive! Can you believe it, folks?" He announced, twirling me around. "Stop!" I laughed, "I have to pack my beach tote!" he put me and ran out the room. Then, came back with a Barbie suitcase. "That reminds me. Brianna told me to gave this to you. It has your make up, hair thing and accessories in it. Pack pjs and stuff, you'll probably sleep over at Claire's!" I nodded as he put the suitcase. I turned back to my bed. I put my black one piece in my tote, along with a towel Jalex so rudely threw at my head and an outfit. 

Wendy looked me up and down. Taking an extra long time on my newly waxed legs. That wasn't the only thing waxed. My armpits and 'lady' were too. I was wearing my new black and white team Jakeward  hoodie and silver shorts. She blushed when I cleared my throat. *Are we gonna get going? Or are you just going to check me out all day?* I smirked. "I didn't know that was an option!" She tease. I laughed as I grabbed my stuff. "We're stopped at the Ms' house, correct?" Claire asked, taking my suitcase and the bag that held my dress. Leaving me with the tote. *Thanks!* I wrote. "Anytime, babe!" She winked at me. Causing me to turn bright red. She smirked at her achievement. *Well? let's go!* before I turn into a tomato! The walk to the... * What are the Ms' last name?* I tapped Claire's shoulder, showing her my sign. "Benson." We turned the corner, then walked past two houses. I gasped, their house look more gorgeous in the daylight. And not to mention, bigger. I so hope i don't get lost. Claire sent me dazzling smile as the door flew opened.

Shhh! I been I secretly drawing Wendy in her sketchbook, as she pack her clothes. "Girls, your snacks are ready!" Claire's grandma called behind the door. I love Claire's grandma, she reminded me so much of my own. I jumped of the bed to open get our snacks. She gave me a smile as I took the tray out of her hands. *Thanks, nanny!* She also lets me call her nanny. How cool? I turned to see Claire on the bed, looking at me drawing. "You're really good, you know?" Claire said, looking up. I shrugged sitting next to her. "What'd she bring?" 

*Gummy bears, jelly beans, marshmallows, sour patch kids, whip cream, and cookies!*  

"What? No cherries?" 

*No cherries.* She pouted. I laughed. * Go finished packing!* Claire got up and groaned, " I thought you were here to help me!" I smiled, *To help you MOVE. I ain't sign up for packing.* I started to snacking on the snacks.
