Childhood Best-Friends

Chapter three

The next time I woke up was because that I was moving but the problem was that is it wasn't me but the person that was holding me, I looked up considering the person that was holding me, turned me so I now faced them now and found Scottie's sleeping face right there, I cuddled closer to his chest which made him tighten his grip around my waist, he opened one eye and seeing that I was fine closed it again and fell back asleep, I closed my eyes laying my head against his chest and fell into a sleepless morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up again to Scottie moving around taking me with him but as I looked over at the alarm clock on my bedside table I saw the numbers '10:57' in big red letters "Scottie, let go of me, I want to get up" I said as I looked up at him, his grip tighten pulling me even closer (if even possible) to his chest

"No" he answered

"Yes I want to get up, we have to check on Dawn and Parker" I said

"Just let me sleep in a little longer, snow, I have a game tonight and don't want to fall asleep on the field" he murmured

"What sort of game" I asked

"Hockey, why" he asked looking down at me sleepily with his eyes only half open and him still asleep

"If I go, who's going to look after Dawn and parker" I answered

"Mr and Mrs Smith, next door can check in on the everyone once in a while but Parker should be cable of looking after him and Dawn for a few hours, they do it all the time anyway" he said

"Alright I'll come and watch" I said happily that I can actually do something that doesn't involve staying home all day

"And who said I was going to let you" he said cheekily

"Because no matter what you do to try and keep me out I will be coming to that game weather you like it or not" I said "now will you please let me go so I can go check on your siblings" I said trying to hide a smile

"yes and I'll be up in a little bit" he replied letting his loosen around my waist, I jumped up from the bed and went into the hallway closing my bedroom door behind me before going across to Dawn's room, she wasn't in her room and when I checked Parkers, he wasn't in there so I checked the kitchen, nothing, dinning, nothing until finally the living room and found them both there eating some snacks while watching Scooby doo

"have the two of you had breakfast yet" I asked, they both turned around shocked to see me standing there

"we thought that you and Scottie were going to sleep in today" Parker said

"well yea I guess we did, but Parker your 10, you should know that if you don't have breakfast then to make yourself a sandwich at least" I said "do you guys want something to eat while I'm heading to the kitchen anyway" I added, they both nodded

"sandwich please" they both said, I nodded and went into the kitchen already getting the bread, butter, vegemite and cheese out to make them but something happened before that.

Third person POV

Winter felt like the walls were closing in on her as she was breathe really unevenly, Parker was playing with Dawn in the living room secretly wondering why Winter's taking so long with making 2 sandwiches just as Scottie wondered down the stairs "hey Scottie, can you check on Winter in the kitchen" Parker asked, Scottie nodded and headed into the kitchen, once he was in the kitchen he noticed that Winter was looking around with a scared expression, he walked over to her so that he was in front of her and placed his hands on her shoulders

"snow, it's just Scottie, you have to calm down, nothing is going to hurt you" Scottie said, Winter stopped shaking but she was still looking at the walls with fear clear in her eyes "snow, close your eyes" Scottie asked

"No!" she said quickly shaking her head

"It's alright, you can trust me, nothing will hurt you" he said, she nodded and closed her eyes "just concentrate on my voice, I'm going to tell you a little story of what Dawn did a year ago to dad, I'm pretty sure it was a week after April fools but in this family once a month we have a prank week and she saw this as the perfect choice to get dad back for the old bucket on top of the door trick, so at night-time she woke up at 1 the next morning and started drawing shapes all over dad's face but when she finished that, dad shifted so he was laying on his stomach so she started drawing shapes on his back of course using looks of different colours, dad noticed the shapes on his face the next morning but he didn't notice the ones on his back until 2 weeks later when he was shirtless and mum saw them then pointed them out but it was so funny because Dawn kept laughing when dad tried to get it off and the ones on his back wouldn't come off until a week later" Scottie explained, by now Winter had stopped looking at the walls in fear and was actually listening to the story and when he had finished, she was laughing

"I can name more than 10 pranks that I've done to my foster families when I'm leaving their places" Winter replied

"Alright name one of the best" Scottie replied

"well I think it was my 20th foster home so I set up something at the front door while I was waiting outside with all of my things waiting for dad to arrive and take me to the agency, dad showed up so I called the rest of the family but when they opened the door the rest of the way they all got covered in blue cheese and nasty bugs and they all looked at me so I just smiled innocently, said goodbye and got in the car with dad and drove away" Winter explained

"You know, I'm starting to think that no-one in this family is normal or even close to it" Scottie said while Winter agreed by nodding then they both started laughing.
