Chapter two*

Oh no

I think, taking in the smoke that has filled the air, I run towards Robert's tank that's currently sitting on the living room coffee table, I grab the whole tank which weighs probably over 100 pounds and lug it outside.

What I'm strong, I lift okay?

I lay his tank on the grass and run back into the house, "if I die in there today, the will says that everything goes to you! Take care of dad's Mini Cooper!" I yell at Robert who totally understood everything I just said, because I am the turtle whisperer.

Robert was my first birthday gift from my dad, after my mom left. I asked ever so nicely for a dog, actually I more like begged/yelled but that's another story. Since my dad is allergic to everything that has fur he was like nope no dog not even a pink hairless kitten. He wrapped up Robert's tank and placed it on the desk in my room with a bow on top, let's just say I was surprised, it was love at first sight.

Running back into the smoke filled house I start looking around. "Dad!" I shout, Stumbling into the cloudy, smoky kitchen and I notice my dad standing by the sink trying to put out the fire in the cooking pot. I roll my eyes before running over to my dad swiftly pulling him away from the smoking pot.

"Dad! What did I say about you and cooking" I scold, glaring at him and pulling the cooking pot out of the sink.

"That it's not going to work out" he mumbles.

"Exactly so stop trying" I shoot him one last glare before taking the cooking pot outside and letting the smoke run into the air instead of inside our house.

I walk back into the kitchen and let me tell you if I had a glass of water and had water in my mouth I would have totally spit it out right now. I walk in and watch as my dad does this weird pee dance. He has a towel in between both hands and is trying to air out the room with it while dancing around like he seriously needs to go... you know potty.

I stifle a laugh when he takes it to an all new level and has two towels, like that will help. I can't contain my laughter anymore and snort like a pig that's high .

My dad looks over and drops both towels right away. "Oh, uh Emily! I didn't know you were standing there honey" he smiles placing both towels on the counter.

After sobering up I hop onto one of the stools and begin spinning around, "so dad, now what are we going to eat" I ask, my stomach growling in the process.

"Um pizza?" He raises his shoulders.

"Sure, you order and I'll go set up the tv" I shout before heading into the living room. The smoke has partially cleared out of our house but there is still a hint of smoke near the ceilings.

I plug in the tv and scroll to Netflix, pulling up my favourite movie elf. No one can ever get bored of that movie it's just so good!

My dad joins me on the couch after ordering the pizza. "They said 10 minutes"

"Wow great service" I reply,  not looking away from buddy the elf making his way to New York.

A couple laughs later the door bell rings and I shoot up off my seat. "I'll get it!" I shout taking my dad's credit card that he hands me. I swing open the door to find a younger looking guy with auburn hair holding, not pizza but... Robert?

"Hey, so I found this out on the lawn, is it yours?" The guy asks, holding Robert's  tank out to me.

"Oh, gee thanks a lot, I kinda forgot he was out there" I apologize as he passes me Robert's tank. I smile gratefully placing Robert on the floor beside me.

"And here's your pizza" he holds the large pizza box out in front of him, my mouth waters at the wonderful scent of melted cheese.

I pay the guy and he leaves, giving me the pizza box, I close the door with my foot and bring the pizza box to my dad who is fast asleep on the couch.

"Well, more pizza for me then!" A cheeky smile produces itself on my face and I sit cross legged on the couch opening the box in front of me. The beautiful scent of pizza makes its way around me and I pull out the first piece of the delicious cheesy goodness. I'm about to chomp down on it when a hand swiftly takes it out of my grasp.

"Hey!" I yell mad as hell, I glare at my dad.

He gives me a sweet smile, "sorry honey duty calls" he kisses me on the cheek. Grabbing his car keys and jacket while chomping down one my pizza.

I growl and pull out a new piece this time not stalling before I stuff the whole piece into my awaiting mouth.

"Bye, Emily I'll be home later don't wait up!" He calls before closing the door behind him. Oh the perks of being a popular lawyer having to work late hours.

I smile to myself, finishing three more pieces of pizza and watching the rest of elf the hilarious comedy.

It's not long after the movie ends before sleep decides to come for me, and I fall asleep with the wonderful thought.

Oh joy first day of the last year of high school tomorrow ain't that a happy thought.

Second chapter done!!! I swear the ideas are just poring out of me also it's Christmas break so I've got lots of free time for writing so expect a lot more chapters not following the schedule.

Did any of you guys get hungry while reading this, because I got super hungry and was craving pizza while writing it! 

Another thing, most chapters will usually be around 1000 words, this way you all are getting a decent sized chapter to keep you all satisfied while waiting for yet another chapter.

I hope you  all liked this chapter, and please ignore any spelling, grammar or just mistakes you might find.

Anyways,

Vote and comment ;)
