Chapter Three: welcome To Seattle

****unedited****

•••Tanya•••

As we were now in front of the airport, it felt weird to be back at this place again, you see... I lived here till I was 7. We moved to Cali from than but we didn't move alone... Hannah's family moved with us too, so that's how we known each other for a long time.

My head was going crazy, why? There are hundreds of seats in the plane and mine ended being next to him... The guy I hated the most of my life. Why did he do that? I woke up with his head on top of me. Mom should have remember that I get really bad air sick, were she could have let me be with my brothers...

When ever we go some were I would always sit with one of my brother to help me with my airsickness. I hated plane rides for that reason.

But when the taxi arrived, we loaded are bags onto the back and got in the van. We were heading into our old neighborhood, evergreen trees pass by as we drove, and it was still the afternoon and about 70 degrees. We have an house up here when ever we stay to visit, our grandparents also live in the house too.

The house had so many memories, times were well all mess around and brake things. Oh and the special room in the house... Since I tend to draw and doodle on a lot of things when we were younger, our parents decided to have a room of pictures and things. I remember decorating the walls with our hand prints painting random lines in the walls.

I feel like I just want to be a kid again, no drama, you don't have to care on how you look, a carefree life.

When we finally arrived at the house, I still looked the same by new plants planted in front. The house was painted light green, trails on flowers made a path was to the door. The sweet smell of grandmas homemade cookies hit me, Grams cookies are one of the best, besides from moms too. That is were the cooking skills run in the family.

"That's Grans cookies I smell." Hunter says, as he carried his bag along with my other brothers and ran banging on the door.

"I better get some.-" the door open as they all fell on the floor.

"Oh my my... Kids there enough for every one." A lady with grey hair and wearing a I love cooking apron said.

"Grams," the boys got up and hugged her.

"Why don't you come over had hug grams over here Hun." She said to me, I ran up to her as she squishes me tightly. Dam I miss her.

"Miss you, Grams." I say.

Grams walked up to were my parent were and gave them a big hug, for some reason grams knew Gabby and Zach (Taylor parent).

"Nice to see you all," she said. "But who could this young man be?" She look at Taylor.

"Mom, you remember Taylor right." Dad said.

"Taylor, oh my goodness. You grown so much." She squeezes Taylor tightly, as he stood there awkwardly. Wait... What?

I went into the kitchen to grab some of grams cookies, while Taylor stood awkwardly waiting for is parent who were with mine taking to Grams.

"Hey... Stinky, farty and pudding, give me some." I say walking into the kitchen, there were still old family photos hung around the house, and some resent ones that we would send to them.

As I took the pan of cookies for my self as the boys all stuff them in there mouth and when to the living room. "Oh... No. Not this again." One of the boys said.

I was about to pick one up when I felt hands holding onto my feet and another pair holding my hands. I tried to wiggle out from the grip, but they were too strong.I was lifted up from the couch to the backyard, we're the pool was.

"Put me down." I yell.

"You stole the cookies once... Your not doing it again." Carter said. I felt the warm summer heat, hitting my face as I struggle to get out of their grip.

By that I was dumped into the pool making a big splash in the water, the water was warm from the sun. But my huge splash causing everybody to go into the backyard. Since the boys were at the tip of the pool laughing there ass off, I quickly grabs Carter's and Hunter's feet and pulled into the pool, lastly I pulled Martians as we was laughing at them. We ended up splaying water everywhere and messing around.

"What is going on here?" Dad yells, his face a bit confuses. Mom was holding Daisy as Grams stood next to her, than there stood the Levi's. I caught Taylor trying not to laugh.

"They started it." I say.

"No you did, if you didn't steal the cookies-"

"Enough" Grans trying to keep her face serious but ended up laughing, "oh still the same old kids I miss. There another botch in the oven."

"Kids, why don't you go clean up and come down from lunch." Mom says, "and please stop fighting over the stupid things... And boys, grow up." I could help but to laugh at that part.

I went into my old room and took a shower and changed, but since there was only 8 rooms in the house. The boys all had the own room, Taylor took one of the guess rooms, as mom and dad a built in bed room just for Daisy. Then Gabby and Zack, Taylor parents had a room too.

After I took a warm shower, I changed into a pair of denim shorts, a superman T-shirt and a pain was black converse. I quickly tied my hair up into a pony tale. The boys must still be in there room because there weren't down stairs.

I made my way to the back yard were we were going to eat dinner. Daisy was playing in the sand pit that was next to the pool.

"Hey, Daisy" I picked her up as she giggled.

I wown't to play with that." She points to the swings. I carried her to the swing and set her down, as all the guys came out and ran to the play ground, messing with things, and this time including Taylor. Martian ran to one of the swirly slides, as Hunter ran to the monkey bars that were about half way from his height and Carter and Taylor took the 2 of the swings. Carter took the one that was a chair, he jumps onto the seat as I looked like he was about to brake it.

"Boys... Can you stop looking like you never seen a play ground before..." Mom says as she sets the table, "and I think your giving the neighbors the creeps."

Daisy was still giggling and smile on the swing, I still wish my life was like this again. I miss being the little kid who didn't have to care about drama and all that shit.

5 minutes past and everything was ready, I sat between Hunter and Carter, as Taylor and Martian sat cross from us. Gabby and Zack took one end as our parents. Grams sat next to Daisy and fed her. Granddad was busy so he could be here right now but he's going to be here tomorrow.

We ate and chatted about things, catching up on what we're doing. When I was about tine to be done I helped Mom and Gabby with the dishes as the boys helped clean up with Dad and Zack.

After that we all gather in the living room to watch a movie, we were arguing on what movie to watch so we let Daisy pick. We ended up watching Despicable Me 2. It was getting dark and Daisy and I must have fallen asleep because I felt some pull her from my lap and carried her to her room I think.

"Boys, why don't one of you take Tanya to her room?" I think Gabby said that, I was half asleep and didn't want to open my eyes.

"I will." A voice said, as he lift me up and to my room.

I was place on my confutable bed as I felt the covers on me, "Good night beautiful," than kissed me in the cheek. It felt soft, as tingle when through my body, "I love you." With that he quickly left the room.
