After what happened after school with David and the car, he wouldn't leave me alone. He would constantly stay at my side and try to cheer me up or make sure I was eating.

"I thought I was going to lose you today," David mumbles as he turns off the TV.

"Thanks again for saving me," I lean my head in his shoulder.

"Dev, next time you need to be careful. You could have died," he looks at me.

I don't say anything. I just close my eyes and hope that I don't get another lecture.

"I'm going to bed," I say as I get up.

"Goodnight," he says as I leave.

"G'night," I mumble.

I immediately crash into bed and let sleep overcome me. My last thoughts before drifting away into sleep was Damien.

...

"No dad, I won't. Okay, I'll make sure she's good, okay bye," my brother hangs up the phone.

I just sit in my seat, picking at my unwanted breakfast.

"Dev, I need to go to work and you have to finish eating," David kneels next to me.

"Just go, you're going to be late. I'll finish eating," I sigh.

"Do you promise," he looks at me dead in the eye.

"Yes," I sigh in defeat.

"Good, I'll be home late. Theirs some money on the table for you if you go out," he says after kissing me on the forehead.

When I hear him slam the front door shut I let out an audible sigh. I slowly get up and crash on the couch. My dad was still in New York and my brother was working all day. I was home alone with nothing to do.

I was contemplating earlier whether or not to go out but I was honestly to tired to even bother changing out of my lazy day clothes.

I hear the door bell ring, so I get up to answer it.

"Hel-"

"Here, David told me what happened so you are going to babysit," Miranda pushes my three little cousins in.

"Wait- what?" I ask in confusion as they come in.

"Shut up, go finish eating while the kids watch TV so we can talk," she orders.

I stay standing there, frozen as they move.

"Now!" Miranda yells when I don't listen.

Out of fear I run back to the kitchen table and sit in my seat.

She pulls the chair across from me and sits down, the sound of Sponge bob can be heard behind me from the TV.

"Why are you avoiding that hot guy? Are you crazy! Then you lie to him and almost get hit by a car!" She rants.

"Okay bu-"

"No buts! You can't do that to him! He deserves an explanation! Give him a chance!" She yells exasperated.

"Miranda-" I try to explain but she cuts me off again.

"Don't Miranda me! I am here to help you and you will take my help! Now go get ready so we can look for the cute guy!" She orders.

"Can I talk now?" I wait a little before asking.

"Fine, but it will only put us behind schedule for our search," she crosses her arms.
