Amy's point of View:

     It was no surprise to me that I woke up to the sound of Marks loud voice. I had already expected it and considering I can't get any real words out until at least half an hour after I've woken up I didn't mind because I couldn't yell at him. "Guess who bought friday muffins!" Mark yells holding up the box earning multiple groans from all over the room. I sit up under my desk and wrap myself in the blanket, already starting to smell the strong aroma of coffee on me. "Amy muffin?" Mark holds out the box to me and I simply shake my head and tell him no thank you. "Alright sleepyheads, you may hate me now but you'll love me in about an hour for getting FRIDAY MUFFINS!" He yells once again and Ethan yells just as loud telling him to shut up.

     Its been about an hour since most of us have woken up but I am still going in and out of sleep. "Amy you ok?" Tyler asks healing down under my desk to talk to me easier. "I'm fine, Just really sleepy" I yawn and rub my eyes. Tyler nods and pats my arm, walking away. "Ok crew, Today were going to plan for our lifestream tomorrow. We are going to be raising charity for The Human Rights campaign" Mark says getting out a piece of paper. "how long will this one be?" Ethan asks. "About 12 hours" Mark replies and my eyes widen. Wowie. "It goes by fast, Promise" Mark says to me taking in my response. I nod my head and get out from under my desk to sit on the couch beside mark, still wrapped in my blanket. "Amy's up!" Mark yells and I cover my ears laughing. "What games would you like me to pick up?" Ethan asks kindly. "The same type of stuff we've been playing in the past. No murder or a lot of violence. More childish games" Mark replies and Ethan shakes his head. "Kathryn, Would you mind getting snacks to munch on during the stream please?" Mark asks and Kathryn nods. "Tyler, Could you please pick up the iPad from the apple store? I got a phone call a few days ago that they replaced the shattered screen and it was ready" Tyler also nods his head and the three leave and run their errands. "What would you like for me to do?" I ask quietly after a minute of listening to Marks pen writing on the paper. "Could you please make sure the equipment is working properly while I clean?" Mark answers and I nod my head getting up and walking over to the cramped corner where all the equipment somehow ends up. 

     "I got chips, I got squeeze apple sauce, I got noodles in a cup, I got cookies, I got can.." Kathryn says but quickly gets interrupted by Tyler "We get it friend. Could you go put it in the pantry for us now please?" Tyler asks and Kathryn doesn't respond but starts putting the food away. "I have the iPad" Tyler says and sets in on the coffee table in front of the couch were I guess they will set. "Tyler help me move the couch" Mark asks and I'm surprised to see no struggle involved in the process. 

     After we get the office cleaned and ready for the lifestream we all agreed it would be a good idea to take the rest of the day off, Considering our late night phone call emergency last night and the fact that I stink of coffee. "We'll meet back at the office tomorrow morning at eight am and start the stream around nine thirty, Sound good to everyone?" Mark asks and we all nod our heads anxious to get out the door. Before completely getting out the door I run back in to get the muffin Mark bought us for breakfast. "Hungry?" Mark scares me sitting on the couch. "Well If you're going to go through all that trouble of getting friday muffins why not eat them" He laughs at my response and it falls quiet. "Ya know, The crew and I have really enjoyed you being here these past couple weeks" Marks stands up from the couch and grabs a coffee from the fridge. "Awe, Thanks. I love it here with you guys" I smile at Mark and he smiles back. "Have you gotten used to the screaming yet?" He asks laughing a little. "Now I thinks thats going to take a little more time to fully get used to" I laugh along with him. "Well, I better get going before this coffee smell permanently latches on" He laughs and I throw away my muffin paper "Goodbye mark" I say standing at the top of the steps. "Goodnight Amy, See you bright and early tomorrow morning" Mark says smiling. 

     It's never felt so good to be clean and in new clothes with fresh makeup. I just finished getting ready and currently sitting on the couch in my living room watching food network because I live a hell of a life. A knock on my door surprises me and I pause for a second and remember what Kathryn told me about always looking through the peep hole when you have unexpected guests. I do what she told me and to my surprise I see a familiar red haired boy. "Mark, Hey, What are you doing here?" I open the door to him and let him in. "You left your sweater sitting on the back of your office chair and I just thought you might want it back" He holds out the hunter green sweater and I'm shocked with myself that I forgot it. "Jeez I forgot all about it. Thank you so much!" You can hear the happiness in my voice now that I can get the sweater in the wash and it won't forever smell like coffee. I give him a hug, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist holding me close. This is the cheesiest thing I've ever thought but this is the first time Mark and I have actually had physical contact and all I can get from it is how good he smells. I take a step back from the hug and throw my shirt over near the washer and dryer are. "I should get going. See you tomorrow Amy" He smiles, His face a light crimson color. "Goodnight Mark, Thank you" I close my door and can't help but wonder why he turned crimson but then I pass a mirror and I am also a light crimson. I choose to ignore it and put my sweater in the wash, then making my way bak to my original spot for the night. 

     This chapter was mainly uneventful exept for that last little bit which I debated putting in this chapter. I don't really like this chapter ifI'm being completely honest but I wanted to publish something tonight. Its obviously a filler chapter and I hate doing those so there won't be that many and the rest of the book will be worth your while, Promise.                                         xxParks
