Ashlee's P.O.V:

It had been two weeks since the whole 'Drake' thing, and I was over him. I learned that I don't need him, and this was true.

Hanging out with the Butlers is fun, and we've done many fun stuff, considering we still had to do chores.

But today was a chore day, which I was not looking forward too.

"Alright, so today, it's the annual Butler chore day!" Shay said, as we all stood in a line, in the way Shay made us stand. Colette was next to Shay, holding Daxton.

The line started out with me, then Gavin, Avia, Emmi, and Brock. Daxton was being held by Colette.

"Alright, now I want you four oldest to go with Colette and she will show you where you guys will start first." Shay said, before Avia stopped him.

"Wait! Is this like a game?" She asked, as Shay pointed the camera towards her. He smiled, as so did Brock.

"You'll see, now get to work!" Shay said, playfully screaming the last part out, as we laughed, and followed Colette.

----------

"And now you will pull the dead ones out, like this!" Colette demonstrated, as she wrapped her hand around the dead weed and pulled it out.

"That looks so hard!" Emmi said, as she dramatically sighed, as we laughed.

"I agree with her!" I said, as everyone laughed.

"It's not that hard, try it, and don't leave until I come and get you guys!" Colette said, as we nodded, and faced the small field of some alive, some dead plants.

"Alright, let's do this." Gavin mumbled, as we all scattered in different directions.

---------

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breathe, as I tried to pull out the stupid fucking plant that refused to come out. I gave it a hard tug, but it didn't budge.

I kicked it, as I folded my arms.

I sighed, knowing I would have to try again.

We have been out here for an hour, and it felt like twenty. My face was sweating, as so was my whole body, and I felt like a billion zits were forming on my face.

My blond hair was up in a ugly pony-tail, and my clothes were stuck to my skin.

"When is this going to be over!? I'm about to throw this damn thing away!" I said, as I started to walk away but someone grabbed my arm. I turned around and saw it was Emmi.

"Don't go!" She said, as she made the puppy dog face. I sighed, knowing I couldn't resist her face.

"Fine, but I'm not doing any work!" I said, stubbornly like a child.

"It's not about the work, or how much we have to do, it's about that we do it together. It is about doing it together, like a family." She said, as I listened to the almost eight year olds wise words.

It was at that moment, I realize, I didn't need social media, or any of that stuff. It was the people around me that I needed, that cared, that would be there.

Shay and Colette were like parents I never had.

Sure my actual parent's gave me the things I needed, and a lot more, and sure they were my parents, but they didn't give me the love Shay and Colette do.

They except me like I'm there own child.

"I get it now." I whispered, as Emmi looked at me confused.

"Get what?" She asked, as I smiled.

"Nothing, never mind, now let's pull this shit out of the motherfucking ground!" I yelled, accidentally swearing in front of the kids. I covered my hand with my mouth as the kids, besides Gavin looked at me like I had grown three heads.

"Sorry guys." I said.

"Eh, it's okay, I'm used to it. Kids start to curse in fifth grade. Even in California." He said, as Avia's and Emmi's eyes widened again.

"Wait, so that mean's the kids are going to start cursing this year?" Avia said, as we nodded.

"Oh no, am I suppose to do it?" Avia asked, her eyes widening in fear.

I laughed, as I out my hand on her shoulder.

"Avia, you don't have to, I don't know if your parents would even let you, so if it doesn't feel right, don't do that shit, same with you Emmi." I said, as there eyes widened again. Shit, I said shit in front of the girls.

"Sorry guys, just ignore me." I said, as they nodded there heads.

"Look how much dead things we've cleared out!" Avia exclaimed, as she pointed to the field, and sure enough, most of the dead grass, was gone.

"Yes, yes we have sista!" Emmi exclaimed, as I laughed, and put my arm around them.

They may be my cousins, but they felt like my siblings, even if I had amazing siblings.
