Surviving The Parkston Boys [Re-write]

Chapter 1

"Australia?! You're actually kidding me, right?" I asked trying to act as calm as I could be.

Shelby Wilson

"Shelby, your grandparents need help selling all their things that are there. We'll also need to help them get back to the States. We will be back before you know it." My mom said as she walked into the kitchen and I followed her.

"The question is, why can't I come?" I asked as I sat on the barstool.

"Shelby, you have school and we will be gone for a while. Now get started packing, if you need to go shopping for things you'll need at the Parkston's then tell me tomorrow." My mom said as she dumped her dish into the sink.

"Honey! Natalie and Will are on the phone right now." My dad said as he stuck his head into the kitchen.

Natalie is my older sister and Will is her husband, Natalie is pregnant so my mom does daily night and morning check ups with her so her first grandson is perfect.

"Is Mason coming with me too?" I asked my mom.

"No, he's going to be at the doggie hotel while we are gone." My dad said as my mom left the room to go check on Natalie and my eyes went wide.

"Wow, I can't even have my dog? Wait, why can't I just stay at Natalie's or even stay home alone?" I asked them and my dad grabbed his apple.

"First off, Natalie and Will are going to be in Kansas City for a trip." My dad said and I scrunched up my nose.

"Kansas City? Where and what is that?" I asked him and he shrugged.

(A/N: I live in Kansas City and when I go somewhere else and people ask me where I'm from they're like where's that. I didn't want to offend anyone and I was just going off of my own experience.)

"Will has some business over there so they're gonna be over there for a bit and second off, it's illegal to be home alone for that long without an adult." My dad said and I groaned.

"I'll go pack..." I said then sadly walked up the stairs and into my room.

I got a phone call and looked over to see it was from my best friend Madie.

"Hey Mads, what's up?" I asked her.

"Nothing much, your mom texted me and told me to check up on you." Madie said and I sighed.

"My parents are going to be in Australia while I stay here in Chicago. I have to go stay with a family named the Parkston's." I said and sat in my bean bag.

"Wait the Parkston's? Isn't that Trey's last name?" Madie asked and my eyes went wide again.

"Man whore Trey?" I asked and Madie was silent and I groaned.
