"WAKE UP!" A male voice yells in my ear.

I roll over and open my eyes to see James about an inch from my face. "Dang, meeting you wasn't a dream."

"Haha very funny. I know you love me." He smirks and pecks me on the nose. "Get ready it's 9 o'clock and we are leaving to go shopping in 30 minutes with or without you."

"Don't ever kiss me again." I snap getting up and pushing him out of the room so I can change.

Looking through my clothes I decide on a pink tank top, with a white jean jacket, and some blue jeans. I smile at my reflection in the wall length mirror.

I look down at my outfit choice and frown. This was something Caleb would have wanted me to wear, it showed a lot on top and that was what he liked the most.

Rolling my eyes at my stupid thoughts, I step out of the room with my purse and phone in hand. I make my way to the kitchen to be dragged back into a bedroom.

"They're out there fighting." James says and sighs, "They do this all the time. Ashley just doesn't trust Brandon with Kenzie. And now that you're here it's making it harder for her to be confident that she can keep him."

"What do you mean? She's the one who thought of letting him take me shopping. And isn't she the one who cheated on him?" I ask rolling my eyes at her stupidity.

James quietly laughs, "Brandon doesn't like to go around kissing anyone. And he doesn't just have sex whenever he wants. It has to mean something to him. So when Ashley wanted to bang every single night, and he denied, she left. Started trying to get other guys attention, mine included. Anything to get a one night stand. He caught on and tried to leave her, but that's when she threatened to take Kenzie away from him."

I nod, "Makes sense."

"James! Get Brittney and lets go!" Brandon yells, clearly pissed off at what happened in the kitchen.

James opens the door and I follow him out and into the kitchen where Brandon stands with his back to us. Ashley is holding Kenzie and wearing some really slutty clothes.

"Good morning, Brittney. Brandon is going to take you into town to get some clothes and whatever else you need." She smiles.

I nod and stay quiet as they stare intensely at one and another.

James is the one to break the awkward silence, "Umm Brittney and I are going to go get into the car, would you like me to take Kenzie?"

Ashley passes Kenzie off and I follow behind James out to a blue, Ford truck.

"Don't scratch up the car or Brandon will kill you. This baby means more to him than anything. And I mean anything." James laughs putting Kenzie into her car seat. "Front or back seat my lady?"

"I'll take the back." I reply getting into the back with Kenzie.

A few minutes later Ashley and Brandon come out. Ashley throwing her hands in the air and clearly yelling. Brandon has his back to her and is walking to the car not really paying attention. She picks up a shoe and chucks it at him, but it misses by a good 10 feet.

He gets into the car and stays silent, turning on the car and pulling out and onto the dirt road. The whole car ride is pretty silent and even when we get to the small mall, no one has said a word.

I follow James out and he slightly smiles at me.

"Brandon, why don't you go have some alone time. I can take Kenzie and Brittney." James offers.
