"So River boi ended up choking on cheetos while coke came out of his nose" The whole table including me erupted in laughter as River looked down with a red face. River's family was extremely nice and cozy , which made Lily and me to feel at home. He had two uncles and two aunts. Uncle Ray was extremely funny and was married with two kids. Uncle Jay (younger then Andrew) also had two kids and a wife. One of the aunt, Aunt Stacey was gay and had a wife and an adopted kid while Aunt Jenny was still single.

I leaned back into the garden chair with one of my leg perked up and the feet sitting on the chair while the other leg was folded under me. my both arms wrapped around my leg as one hand had a root beer bottle hanging from it. Lily, Ajax and River were sat next to me in the big table while Andrew and Jay were on the grill.

The whole night air was filled with the crisp smell of grilled and charred chicken, laughter of the family and a warm feeling. I smiled widely as I looked around the table of the arguing and laughing family members.

"Yo someone get these burgers from me!" I turned my head at the source of the sound and recognized Andrew. Before anyone could get up i motioned my hand to them to stop and got up myself. I walked over to the large grill as Andrew took off some meat patties.

"You wanted help?" He looked up at me and smiled widely.

"Yeah can you get those buns over here and start with the burgers squirt?" His eyes were on the grill as I chuckled.

"Did you just call me squirt?" I bit my lower lip as a full on smile covered my face. It was as if all these years without family loveI was suddenly getting all the love poured down on me and it was messing with my emotions.

"Sorry I can call you anything or maybe not-" I cut his panicked speech off.

"please never stop calling me that" I grinned as he smiled and nodded at me.

"Well then get to work squirt" I chuckled at him and did as I was told. For the next 20 minutes i stood next to Andrew and chatted away. After getting the burgers done I sat on the table next to the grill. The heat of the grill slightly burned into my left side but I ignored the bad feeling with a better feeling filling me. The feeling of having a father.

"So River told me you're in the football team?"

"Yup" I grinned, "I swear you should've seen those sexist pigs faces they were surprised when I beat their butts off!" I exclaimed as Andrew laughed.

"That's my girl" He mumbled but of course I heard and crooked a smile.

I wonder if he would mind me calling him dad.

"That was an awesome night" I said and breathed into the night air. We four were sat on the a big tree in River's backyard. Me and River were on a higher branch while Lily and Ajax were on the lower one. As the tree was pretty old and big the branches were extremely wide making it comfortable for us to sit.

"Thanks you made it even more fun my family loves you more then me" He feigned hurt as all of chuckled. I brought up the cold glass up to my lips. I closed my eyes as the cold black liquid ran in my mouth and down my throat leaving a cold trail. The fizzy drink was cold in my hand as I slowly turned it in circles.

"Okay so whose up for a movie marathon?" River rubbed his hands together.

"I'm in" I mumbled against the coke bottle's tip.

"ME TOO!" Lily perked up.

"I don't really have anything else to do"Ajax said in a bored tone. I scoffed and kicked the back of his head lightly.

"Hey!" Ajax whined while rubbing the back of his head.

"Stop being a baby" I snickered as he glared at me.

"You better run" He said in a warning tone and I knew this was bout to get ugly.

"Gotta blast peasants!" I said and jumped off the branch, landing smoothly. I did a bow at my non imaginary fans and made a run for it as I heard another body, Ajax, land beside me.

"She loves the word peasant doesn't she?" River asked in an amused voice as Lily chuckled.

"Yes yes she does"

"YAAAAAAS MOTHER CHUCKERS OPTIMUS PRIME IS HERE HE IS GONNA WHOOP YOUR METAL BUTTS SO HARD YOUR ANCESTORS GONNA FEEL THE PAIN!" I cried out with both my arms spread out.

"I told you guys watching transformers series with Rain was a bad idea" Lily stated in a smart ass tone as River groaned. Ajax pushed me away as I glared at him.

"RUN RUN RUN!!" I screeched out as Ajax joined me in yelling at the screen for the people who won't even hear us to run. What can I say I love to cheer for people.

"Okay enough I wished we watched some chick flick instead" River mumbled.

After transformers marathon ended I looked around at our positions. Lily had her head on River's chest as his arm was wrapped around her. I so ship them. Ajax was sat next to me on the couch, in the same position as me, legs crossed and hands resting on our legs.

"Let's watch one more eh?" I nodded and went to the front to the cupboard, Ajax had a whole movie room with two cup boards filled with movies, a big ass flag screen and different couches and bean bags. Dope right.

"She's the man?"

"Let's go with that" I nodded and put in the movie. To be honest I loved this movie. The girl pretends to be a boy and fills out for her brother, but even if she loved being a boy or didn't like it at the end of the day she was still a girl with girl needs and wants.

-

"I am so killing him" River said in a low voice followed by a smack.

"Shh they look so cute!" This was Lily's voice as I turned myself around and snuggled more into Ajax. Yes I knew it was Ajax yet I still chose to ignore the fact that he is a nitwit and let laziness take over me.

"Shut up guys" Ajax's raspy voice rang in my ear as he wrapped his arm tighter around me.

"Ajax fucking O'Dean you better take your arms off of my little Rainelle before I smash in your face" This voice was deeper and was dangerously low. Andrew.
Did he just say my little Rainelle? I smiled with my eyes still closed.

Ajax got up in a whoosh making me go crashing on the floor. I groaned in pain but didn't open my eyes, In the end I ended up sleeping on the floor.

"This girl" Lily mumbled.

"Hey squirt get up I made breakfast" Andrew slowly shook me as I groaned.

"Okay okay I am up jeez black mailing a poor soul with the name of food do you even have a heart" I ranted while getting up and walking in the first direction I was facing with my eyes still close. I slammed into a wall and fell down while groaning in pain. The whole room was then filled with laughter.

"You okay?" A grinning Lily asked as I scowled at her.

"Oh I am all glitters and sparkles" I mumbled.
