Monday, after school //

"Mom, are you baking cookies?" I asked, happily inhaling the smell of the cookies. I told Will to stay behind and wait 1 minute until he showed up. I rounded the corner and kissed my mom on the forehead, "I love your cookies" My mom turned around, "Are you feeling okay?" She put her hand on my forehead, "You're being to nice.." She narrowed her eyes at me as she pulled the cookies out of the oven, "Do you want something-"

"Mom, why put cookie dough in the oven when you can put it in your mouth?" Will said as he popped a cookie in his mouth.

The tray of cookies crashed to the floor and cookies scattered everywhere.

"WILLIAM!!" My mom crushed Will in a hug, Will calmly patted her on the back and I snorted but covered it up with a cough but mom noticed, "You knew?"

I nodded, "He surprised me at school today."  Mom slapped my arm, "You could've called!" I hear the front door open and then swings shut. Will looked at me and i mouthed 'Dad' and he ducked behind the counter. A second later dad emerges into the kitchen.

I turn towards him and exhale a sigh, "Mom's cooking again."

"Oh. So that's what that smell is," he comments, "I thought the house was on fire" He says, as he sets his groceries down on the counter as my mom scoffs, picking up the cookies off the floor. My dad leaned down to help her, kissing her on the forehead, "Hunny, we love your cookies!" When their not burnt, I wanted to say. 

My mom smiled at my dad, "You don't have to lie to me." She said as she bit into one of the cookies, making a face as she bit into it. My dad looked at me and we busted out laughing. You could hear Will snort a little and my dad stood up, "What was that?"

"Oh, uh, it was me. I'm coming down with a bit of a cold." My dad looked at me with sympathy. OH no. 

"Here, I'll make you some of that airborn medicine." Dad got up and I looked over to Will who's head was hanging over the counter a little, he shrugged and went back down. "Drink up." I looked down at the pink substance that was set in front of me, I looked up up at dad. I'm going to murder Will. "Come onnnn, That snort was not attractive so if you want a man to like you-" I chugged the airborn down. 

As soon as I set it down, a shrieking voice came from behind the counter, "WIll!" My dad's head snapped to Ashley who dived under the counter, Will finally coming up from the counter because Ash blew his cover.

Dang flabbit. 

My dad looked at me and I smiled sheepishly. Before my dad could crush Will into a hug we heard distant voices coming from the living room and it suddenly stopped. Will and Ashley crashed to the floor as Brody and Kellin crashed into them, Kellin yelling out "TIMBER!" Me and my dad looked at each other, shrugged and dove into the mess of craziness we call our family.

I clicking sound came from my mother. I looked up to see her holding her phone up, "Goals. Facebook worthy!" Yes, my mom has officially summoned to our 'generations language' as she calls it. I looked down at my family, Ash was tangled up in Will arm. Brody and Kellin ended up hugging each other instead of Will, dad was hugging Will's leg and I was on top all of them, legs spread out and all.

Don't even ask me how we ended up like this.

30 minutes later we finally all got untangled, Brody and Kellin said they needed to take a shower after they realized they were hugging each other saying "He has coodies!" And running in different directions. They're apparently not on speaking terms right now. Don't even ask me, something to do with both of them liking the same girl. And finally after an hour of sitting down with mom, dad and Will they let us wander.

Now we were sitting on my bed, eating chips and talking about Lucas..

"Ana, you likeeee-"

"Don't say it. "I warned.

"eee"

"Don't freaking say it!" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"eeeeeeeeee"

"Don't you dare say it!"

"eee him." He grinned. I pushed him and he toppled off the bed, trying to reach for me but failing. I giggled and he pulled himself back onto the bed, "Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me. Then I remember, oh, I put up with you. So we're even."I grinned and he scoffed, "You're worse than me-"

The door to my bedroom slammed open, "I'm here!" Brody sprawled himself onto the floor and looked up at us, "I got bored-" The door slammed back open again, "The party can now begin-" Kellin paused as he looked down at Brody and scowled, grabbing a sheet of paper off my desk and pencil he wrote something and showed it to Brody. 'Oh you're here' it read as he crumbled it and threw it into my trashcan. I giggled at how childish they both were being.

  Brody frowned but then it turned into a grin, "You had me at your proper use of 'You're'."

4 AM //

I woke up to my phone vibrating and illuminating my dark room. I got up to get my phone off the dresser but failed and tripped over something. Scrambling up, I used my phone light to look at what i tripped over,

Brody.

I narrowed my eyes at him and kicked him lightly, getting a snore-snort ish noise from him and him rolling over to another figure.

Kellin.

 When he felt Brody crash into him, he sprung up, slapped Brody upside the head and slammed back into the ground. The 'ground' grunted and another figure shifted.

Will.

He yawned and used Kellin as a pillow. I smiled and looked at my phone, angry that it woke me up. But what I saw on my phone was so worth a shriek from me.
