"Carson! You need to hurry! You're going to be late for school!"

"I'm coming!" He yells from his room.

I roll my eyes and situate myself further into the sofa. After weeks of working, I finally have a day off and it's not a Sunday. Dorothy decided to work today to catch up on some paperwork. I'm truly happy right now.

After Lucca's unexpected offer, me and Carson moved our stuff into Lucca's place within the next two weeks. Lucca being the persistent guy he is insisted on paying off my mother's house because I was too attached to it. I may have cried every time I packed something away, but that didn't mean anything.

He even put in some alarm system his company created. If someone so even touches the house, I'll be alerted through my phone and the same for Lucca. Even though I told him not to purchase the house, I'm kind of happy he did. I'm not ready to depart from the only thing I have left that connects me to my parents.

"I'm ready!" Carson proclaims as he jogs into the living room.

I shake my head. "Matt and Nate are waiting for you downstairs. You really need to hurry up." I glance over my shoulder and I see him running into the kitchen. He runs back out a few seconds later with his lunch in his hand.

"Bye Izzy!" He yells on his way out the door.

I let out a sigh before turning my attention back to my book, Best of Me.

Carson has been going through a few changes within this past couple month. He's been hanging out with the twins more which is good for him. He needs some male bonding time. He's just not as shy as he use to be. He's becoming, dare I say, an extrovert...

I let out a groan and slam my face into the book. Carson is growing up too fast.

The only concern I have with him spending all this time with twins is that I don't want the twins activities to rub off on him. I need Carson to stay pure and innocent... and stay on the good side of the law.

I sit my book on the coffee table and go into the kitchen and make me a cup of tea. I haven't had a day off where I can spend some time with myself in a long time.

I glance at the clock on the oven and see it's only eight o'clock. Great

I look around and realize that I can clean. It's not the ideal thing to do on a day off, but it's something I need to do.

I trudge up the stairs and go into me and Lucca's room. It's so weird saying that. When I agreed to move in with Lucca, of course I had to confirm it with Carson. He was beyond ecstatic. He started to pack his stuff the next day.

Living with Lucca has been refreshing. It may seem sudden, but I feel like it was the right choice to make. We've become closer than I can imagine. Lucca is really a sweetheart, which his siblings still disagree with me about. Lucca simply glares at them when he's around to here it. Our relationship is just in a great spot right now. We thoroughly enjoy each other's company and makes it his duty to take me out on dates at least twice a week. I told him he didn't have to, but nobody can tell Lucca otherwise.

Lucca and Carson are a different story. They're irresistible. Ever since the move, Carson started to hang out with Lucca more and Lucca likes to educate Carson and play big brother. He claims he's easier to deal with than the twins. I'm not surprised. Carson has even been to work with Lucca the few times he went in on Saturday's.

By the time I sort through my clothes, and straighten up Carson's room, it's a quarter past ten. I go back into me and Lucca's room and grab the basket of dirty clothes I piled together. Lucca keeps his stuff organized to point where I would label it OCD. I just try to keep my stuff away from his.
