*ding*
Mum: Wake up hun, family meeting.
Oh great. I get out of bed, throw on a pair of joggers and a t-shirt. I walk out of my room and down the stairs to see everyone downstairs already. "What's up?" Mum sighs, "We are having company over, my brother, Trent." I sit on the couch, rolling my eyes, "Oh great. Is he bringing his girlfriend?" Mum nodded, "He has 'great news' for us. So I want everyone to help clean the house today, alright?" I nod, getting up, "I'll start with my bathroom and bedroom."
-few hours later-
I groan as I try to reach for a cup in the cabinet. I hear a chuckle, "Here." Shane grabs a cup and hands it to me, "Thankyou, are you done with the vacuum?" He nods, gesturing me to come up stairs with him. I pour myself some tea and follow him upstairs. He hands me the vacuum, "You done with the bathroom stuff?" Raising my eyebrow, I feel a soft laugh leave my throat, "Bathroom stuff?" Nodding, I hand him 'the bathroom stuff' and go to vacuum my room. After thats done, I go down stairs to help mum with the guest room. "Why can't Trent and his perfect girlfriend stay in a hotel while they are here?" Mum sighs for the 100th time today, "They didn't want to waste money on a hotel for a few days." I roll my eyes, "Alright, let's just get this done with." She nodded.
After cleaning the house, I decided to take a shower since I smell like cleaner.
|| Shane's POV ||
I lay in bed, texting Lydia. She's the cutest thing ever. Maybe I should take her out sometime I'll ask her tomorrow at school. "SHANE, ADDISON! DINNER!" I put my phone on the night stand and get up, "COMING!!" I walk out and see Addison walk out of the bathroom, "What did they say?"
"Dinner." She nodded and went to her room. I walk downstairs and sit at the table, waiting for dad and Addison. Few minutes later and everyone was at the table. "So .. Who's Trent?" Mum drops her silver ware with a loud *clang* Addie clears her throat, "He's, uhm, mum's brother, he would abuse mum because no one would stand up for her, and if we did, he'd abuse us. He's a horrible character, but swears up and down he has changed." I nod slowly, the rest of dinner was just silence.
After dinner, Addie and I clear the table, "Addison, can we talk after we're done with the table." She looks up with slight pain in her eyes and nods. When we finish we walk up stairs and into my room, "Look, I know I've been terrible towards you lately, and no excuse could ever fix what I have done to you .. But, the reason I've been like that is because I've been taking pills, and drinking a lot." She looks up at me with a confused expression. She sighed and walked out. "A-addie ..?" She looked over her shoulder and shook her head at me, pained expression. I sat down, looking at her bedroom door, seconds later I hear music coming from her room.
