My Keeper

Shifting...

HEY GUYS, I'm finally updating I hope you think this chapter is worth the wait!! Tell me what you think. PLEASE!! I would really love to know and I hope you enjoy~ Djkrystal

I looked at the pie in the oven and it was almost done so while I wait I decided to clean up the giant mess I made. I heard Grace laugh and walk into the kitchen with Jackson. They had their school backpacks on. Huh they must've just got home.

"Oh hey Kris what smells so good?" she grabbed a rag and help clean the counters while Jackson put the dishes in the sink. "Apple pie of course! You know mom's old recipe... I mean I know I've been back almost a month now.. but it's the first time I've felt comfortable here and it's 'Pig Out Sunday!' You remember we have to eat tons of junk food and watch movies. Plus it's my first full moon since being back we are going shifting later right? Of course we are we always do but, I figured we'd pig out then go run to work off all the food we eat."

She shyly smiled down at her hands and looked up at me with concern "all of that sounds epicly awesome and I would totally love every minute of that but..but um we have this huge chemistry test tomorrow that we really need to study for so I was going to skip the shift tonight I'm sorry. Can you save me a slice of pie? you know that's my favorite." Her big doughy brown eyes pleaded and I sighed softly. I really wished we could spend the day together ever since I've been back I feel like we're are growing apart more and more each day.

"yeah sure Gracie I should have asked if you were going to be busy before today sorry and it's all good I'll save you some." her smile grew and her eyes brighten back up "Yay! Thanks Kris I'll see you later we've got to get studying" she grabbed Jackson's hand and left to go upstairs. Just as they were out of view the oven ringed signaling the pie being finished.

45 minutes later~

I sat slumped over the kitchen table eating the pie straight from the pan. I've already eaten half of it. even though Grace isn't here to pig out with me doesn't mean I can't on my own. Nick strolled in looking insanely happy "Hey Kris, Maria made a pie? that's awesome and it smells amazing. Share" he pulled up a chair next to me and took my fork and ate some. He didn't even ask, he just gonna take my food, so rude "Oh damn, I was right this is so awesome did she only make one?" I smiled a little bit and he ate more.

"She didn't make this one, I did. It was for Grace and I but she's busy" he cocked his head to the side "what do you mean, is it really that bad that she's busy?" I just shrugged "well of course she can be busy but I.. I don't know I just feel like since I've been back we've become even more distant... you know we use to have this thing "Pig Out Sunday's" it was a tradition we used to do with our Mom but we kept it going even after she was gone. We would eat tons of junk food and just chill and hangout it was my only day I got to actually relax and it was fun plus tonight is my first full moon in a while. I just wanted to share that with her again. I guess she's just growing up but I don't want to accept that she'll always be my goofy little sister" he nodded and smiled into the pie tin "you make an amazing pie and I'm sure Grace would love to be with you tonight but since she can't, I will. It's not like I was doing anything tonight anyway"

I shook my head "No no Nick it's all good I'll just forget it I can shift any day and I kinda want my pie back so..." I tried to take my fork back and he growled "No I don't want you to miss the full moon. I still remember what it was like on full moon night, it's just feel different then shifting on any other day, it's more special and please I need this Kris it's really good don't take my pie" I roll my eyes Is he serious ugh he's such a baby. Since he had already eaten most of what was left, I wasn't going to take it from him.

Roman walked into the kitchen and sniffed around "What is that smell? it's wonderful" Nick held up the pie and Roman smiled "I want some don't eat it all Nicholas" Nick grunted, "Go away Mine!" "No Nicholas, stop being childish and I am your Maker so I command you." Roman grabbed the pie and flashed over and got another fork and ate it happily while Nicholas complained, "Roman I called it you can't just take my food, and you can't pull the I am your Maker bullshit!"
