The Beginning

I got off the train with my little sister Angelica and then sat down and waited to get picked up by my older sister Liberty, her husband Derek and my nephew Ricky (he's 3).
I was just sitting there with one headphone in case Angelica wanted to talk to me.

I jumped out my skin as my nephew was running up to my shouting "hi Auntie Kady", while Liberty and Derek walked slowly behind him.
I took my headphone out and put my phone into my bag, then hugged Liberty and Derek.

After we had finished hugging each other we walked to Derek's car. We put our suitcases in Derek's huge car.
The car journey back wasn't awkward because Derek had put the radio on and Ricky wouldn't stop talking to me and Liberty was talking to Angelica the whole way there, while Derek was just concentrating on the road.

When we arrived Derek went straight to the car boot and got our suitcases. He said that he would carry them up so we just let him.

In the 16 years of me living I had never stayed over at Liberty's apartment and neither had Angelica.
We were walking up the stairs and as usual Ricky tripped up and hurt his knee so I just carried him the rest of the way. When we got to their apartment Liberty unlocked the door and showed us where our bedrooms were (they lived in a penthouse so there was like 4 bedrooms, so I wouldn't have to share)

After I had finished unpacking everything I heard a knock on the door so I said "come in" and it was Liberty. I sat on the bed and she sat beside me looking at her lap, then she looked up at me and said "the rest of your stuff should be here tomorrow". I thanked her for everything and then she said " Mum and Dad are dead but promise me Ricky and Angelica will never know the truth" I promised her and then we hugged and then she told me that the neighbours upstairs wanted to meet me and Angelica and told me to get ready.

So I put on skinny white ripped jeans, a black bomber jacket, floral crop top and black and white Adidas shoes.

After I finished my make up I sprayed my setting spray then perfume and then we all left.

Liberty knocked on the door and a middle-aged woman answered, she shook mine and Angelica's hands then invited us in. She introduced herself and said "Hi you must be Kady and Angelica, I'm Elise", she took us through to the dining room and there was a man sitting at a chair holding a baby girl. He stood up and said "Hello my name is Shawn and this little one here is Isla". I said hi to him and shook his and then said "hi" to Isla and shook her little hand all she did was giggle and smile at me and I smiled back.

We all sat down at the table, then a boy came in and he looked about my age with curlyish brown hair black shoes, black jeans and a blue t-shirt on. Then Elise introduced him and says "This is Jake, he's 16". I looked at him and smiled, he smiled back, then sat down.

Half way through dinner Shawn asked me why I moved in with Liberty, I said "My parents died in a car crash and me and Angelica were the only ones who survived it", he then started to apologise for asking and I said that it was okay. Jake looked at me in a sad way like he was sorry for me but I just looked down at the table but I could still feel him staring at me. I tried not to smile but I couldn't help it. I had to admit he was very hot.

After dinner we all said "Bye" then left but Liberty forgot her phone so she asked me to go and get it.
I knocked on the door and Jake answered and said "Hey", I said "hey Liberty forgot her phone", he handed me her phone and as he did our hands touched, he smiled at me then I smiled back and said "Bye".
