Being the Baby Brother (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

Noah's POV

Today is the day of Jackson's party and I'm really excited because my dad coming. He couldn't make it on Jackson's actual birthday, but he could today.

I was sitting on the couch with Baylor when I heard the garage door open. I jumped off the couch and ran to the door. My dad opened it and I jumped into his arms.

"Dad!!" I yelled

"Hey bud!! I've missed you" he says and kisses my head. He sets me down and hugs Baylor.

"Jackson!!!!" I yell up the stairs and my oldest brother comes running out of his room and to the balcony.

"What's wrong?" He asks, but then sees my dad. He smiles and jogs down the steps and hugs him.

"Happy birthday" My dad says.

After the excitement. My dad gave Jackson his presents. He got a few clothing items and a new laptop.

"Thanks so much dad!" He says.

"Well, I have one more thing. It's to thank you for all you do for your brothers. I don't know what we would do if you weren't here to care for them" And my dad pulls a small box out of his coat pocket. I look confused and then Jackson opens it and his mouth drops.

"YOU GOT ME A CAR?!?" He yells and runs to the front door. I run after him and he opens the door and a new blue Ford F-250 was sitting out front.

"HOLY CRAP THANK YOU!!" He screamed and opened the doors. It was bigger than the truck he has now and much nicer since he got his other truck like 3 years ago.

"Wanna go for a drive?" My dad says. He nods and we all jump in. Baylor snapchats it and when we get back, Jackson makes me take a picture with the car and he posts it on Instagram with the caption "favorite birthday gift and favorite little boy". He gets a lot of likes and comments.

We soon realize that the party was gonna start in an hour so my dad tells me to get changed. I go to my room and put on a pair of blue swim trunks. Then I run downstairs and to the backyard where my dad and brothers were setting out snacks.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Um, can you dump some chips in that bowl?" Baylor says an points to a plastic bowl. I nod and do as he says.

"Okay, so now can you wait inside for people to come" dad instructs me, I head inside and sit on the couch and watch tv. About 10 minutes later the doorbell rings. I run to the door and peer through the window. I recognize that it is Lukas, Jackson's best friend. I open the door and he smiles.

"Hey buddy!" He says and I give him a hug. Lukas is like another brother to me, he is at our house a lot, so we're pretty close.

"Hey, they're outside" I say and he nods. After that a bunch more people come and I was sitting inside still waiting when Baylor came inside.

"Everyone's here, you can come outside" he laughs, I jump off the couch and head outside.

"Sunscreen before you get in!" Jackson yells from the water just as I was gonna jump in. I groan and roll my eyes. He gets out and comes over to me and sprays with with sunscreen.

"Let's go!" He says and picks me up. He holds me like a baby and jumps into the pool. Letting go of me once we hit the water so I don't drown.

Jackson's POV

We were having a lot of fun in the pool and then my dad said that food was ready. I swam to the edge and pushed myself up out of the pool.

"Noah, come on!" My dad says to my little brother who was still in the pool while everyone else was out.
