Raine's pov:

I groan as I felt something jump on top of me and bounce up and down. It bent down and shouted in my ear;

"WAKE UP, LASY BONES!!!!! IT'S SATURDAY!!!!!" She laughed as I covered my ears and opened my chocolate brown eyes and stared into her icy blue ones. I glared at her, but my frown quickly turned to a smile as I saw her jump on top of Dusty. You would think she was 5 years old, and not my 18 year old sister, who was older than me by 1 year and older than Dusty by 2 years.

'DUSTY!!!! MOVE YOUR LAZY BUTT AND GET UP!!!" Sunny quickly got off Dusty and started jumping up and down in the middle of the room, singing to herself and brushing her blond hair out of her eyes.

"You know Sunny, I will never understand how you have so much energy in the mornings. Especially on Saturday." Dusty managed to gasp out as she sat up and rubbed her emerald green eyes. I stared at my older sister, confused at how she could wash herself, get dressed, dry and brush her hair and NOT feel sleepy at all.

"Well, mum says that I'm this energetic because of all my nervous energy. I can't help it if I'm always hyper!"

"This true. Sunny is the only person I know who can wake up at 5 am and get ready for school....without being told to wake up." I said as Sunny jumped onto her bed and started messing about with her phone. Dusty stood up and ran her fingers through her deep red hair. She quickly checked her night stand, and gasped. She opened the drawer, checked under it, around it, under her bed, before she stood up and said in an angry tone;

"WHICH ONE OF YOU BITCHES TOOK MY PHONE?!?!?!"

"Oh, you mean this?" Sunny asked as she held up a black Iphone that she was hiding in front of her white one. She smirked as Dusty ran at her and tried to grab her phone back, but Sunny simpy stood up and held it over her head. You see, Sunny has always been naturally tall, where as Dusty has....not. Dusty jumped and reached as far as her arms could reach, but she was too short to reach her phone. Dusty sighed and crossed her arms while looking up at our older sister.

"Why did you take my phone?"

"I heard the text tone go off, so I took it and read your texts. And some of the stuff you're texting Matthew (Dusty's boyfriend) is so sappy." Dusty blushed and started yelling.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY PASSWORD?!?!?!?"

"You shouldn't put your password as 'Waffles', it's too obvious." Sunny handed Dusty back her phone, but not before sending Matthew a text and grinning evilly. Dusty checked her phone and nearly screemed in horror.

"What did she do?" I asked, huddling under my blankets and preparing myself for the dirty things I was about to hear.

"Listen. 'Hey Matt, why don't you come over tonight and spend some alone time with me, baby ;D'" Dusty read out, bright red in the face and glaring at Sunny, who was collapsed on her bed, laughing like a psychopath. Dusty quickly sent Mattthew another text and sent her phone down, before grabbing Sunny's and my hands and dragging us downstairs.

We were about to enter the kitchen when we heard yelling.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING HER, JONATHAN?!?!"

"FOR THE LAST TIME, EMMA, SHE'S JUST A FRIEND!!!"

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT ANYMORE, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT SHE IS MUCH MORE THAN A FRIEND!!!!"

"YOU KNOW WHAT,IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP QUESTIONING MY LOYALTY, THEN WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER ANY LONGER!!!"

"I GUESS WE CAN'T! WE ARE THREW, JONAHAN!!!"

Dusty and I gasped while Sunny kept quiet. She turned away from us but we could tell she was crying. I wrapped my arms around her and she rested her head on my shoulder, while she was holding Dusty close to her. Dusty kept her head close to Sunnys chest while she sobbed silently. Dad opened the door and spotted us at the bottom of the stairs, all sobbing and huddled close together. He sighed and brought us into the kitchen.

"Girls, go and talk to your mother while I pack my things."

We walked into the kitchen, where our mum was sitting at the table, tears slowly falling from her eyes. Sunny walked up to her and hugged her close.

"Oh, girls, you weren't meant to hear all that."

"Well, we did. And we're here for you, mum." We all sat down and hugged each other. It was so peaceful, until dad opened the door with his suitcases. But he didn't just have his suitcases, he had another 2 behind him.

"I thought you were leaving, Jonathan," mum said coldly.

"I am, but I'm not leaving alone." He moved over to the table and grabbed Sunnys hand.

"I'm taking Sunny with me."
