The day goes normal and a little boring so I go to bed early. I wake up the next day just wanting to go somewhere or do something, feeling extremely anxious. I walk outside my room and don't see anyone, so I decide to get a bowl of cereal. I make myself a bowl and sit at the table. I eat it all and then walk back upstairs and look inside the rooms. I look inside the first door, which is Marks. I see him laying on his bed holding his phone sleepily. I open the door a small amount wider, "morning." I say quietly. Mark looks up at me, "morning. How'd you sleep?" Mark asks. I shrug, "fine. You?" Mark stretches and puts down his phone. "Fine. What do you wanna do today?" Mark asks. "I don't know. I wanna do something though, I don't know what yet." I say leaning on the doorframe. "Okay. We should ask Signe. Because that woman makes all the decisions in this house." Mark chuckles as he yawns and wipes the sleep from his eyes. "Okay. Will do." I say walking away from his door and to Jack and Signes room. I crack open the door and peer inside seeing Signe reading and Jack looking on his laptop. They both look up when I open the door. "Hey Lanty. How are you this morning?" Signe asks sweetly. "Good. You?" I return the question. "Tired. What's on your mind?" She asks putting down her book on the bed. "I was wondering if you wanted to do something today, instead of being lazy I mean." I explain. "Oh, sure. Can I go in a bit? I still need to get dressed and put on my make up." Signe explains. I nod and close the door returning back to Marks room. Mark yawns widely and stretches when I walk back to his room, still not left his bed. I open his door a little wider and his head moves so he looks right at me. I wave, "she's getting dressed." I explain. Mark nods at my response. "What did you plan on doing today?" Mark asks. I shrug my shoulders lightly. "I'm not sure. Can we just look around or take a walk? I just feel like getting out of the house." I explain with a sigh. "Sure. Can you give me a minute? I need to get dressed and ready for this adventure." Mark chuckles. "Okay. I'll be waiting downstairs." I say. I walk downstairs and sit on the couch to wait. I see Jack walking down the stairs in clean clothes for the day. "Hey." I say with a small wave. Jack looks over at me and smiles softly. "Good morning. Signe is still getting ready. I want to ask you something, can I sit down?" Jack asks gesturing to the couch next to me. I nod yes and he sits next to me. "What do you wanna ask me?" I ask when he sits down. Jack sighs heavily and turns his head to face me. "I think you've know that this household isn't going to be like this forever. Signe and I have bought a home in Florida. Mark is staying in L.A. and he is moving in with his friends Matt and Ryan. Signe really likes you, she usually hates kids. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you aren't gonna be able to be with all of us. We all decided that you should decide who you'll say with. What I ask is, will you please consider living with Signe and I? It would mean so much to her and I both." Jack explains with a sigh. I don't know how I could ever choose between them, but I guess I'll have to. "I will definitely consider it. It's just gonna be hard to decide between you guys. But, don't take it personally if I don't live with you guys." I say sincerely. "Thanks, and don't worry, we won't." Jack says with a smile. I hear a door open upstairs, I turn my head to see Mark coming out of his room. "Hey guys!" He calls as he skips towards the stairs. Mark is now in clean clothes for the day and hops down the stairs like a child. "Morning Mark!" Jack calls to him. "You too!" Mark calls back as he reaches the bottom of the stairs. "I think Signe will be a little while longer. She wants to curl her hair." Jack informs Mark and I. "I will never truly understand that woman." Mark mumbles under his breath. "That's why she isn't with you. Also, because I'm way better than you." Jack chuckles to Mark. "Yeah right. You wish you were as cool as me." Mark chuckles. I roll my eyes at their silly comments. "You guys are ridiculous." I say, galncing at them both. Jack and Mark both laugh at my comment. "Okay! I'm here, you all can stop worrying!" I hear Signe shout from upstairs. I then see her hair curled to perfection and in light blue, high waisted skinny jeans, a white short sleeved top that is a bit short to go with the jeans and a small leather jacket on top. She walks down the stairs excitedly and with style in every move. Jack gets off the couch to greet her when she finishes with the stairs. "Morning beautiful." Jack says cheerfully to Signe before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "What do you want?" Signe asks in confusion. Jack tilts his head, confused at her question. "What do you mean?" He asks to clarify. "You are strangely lovey... Which means you are in a good mood, and I don't know why that would be. Or maybe that you want something... Or that you did something. I'm just trying to figure out which it is." Signe says sounding puzzled. Jack chuckled at her answer. "Can't I just be nice?" Jack chuckles at her. "But, you're not normally this nice, its weird." Signe says with a laugh at the end. "Well, that's not true. I'm the nicest guy you know." Jack states with a chuckle. "Well, I would say you're the nicest guy on the house. But not the nicest guy I know, but that's exactly what I like about you Sean." Signe says sweetly. "Awe shucks." Jack laughs. "Don't let that go to your head. Anyways, more importantly, Lanty, what are we doing now dear?" Signe asks, her eyes wandering from Jack to focus on me. "I thought we could all take a walk or go to the park. But what do you wanna do?" I question her back. Signe nods at my suggestions. "Yeah, let's head out then." Signe says happily as she takes my hand and leads me outside.
