The Foster

part 8

I was woken up by Anna whispering.

"Ross, Beth, carry Bella and Brody to the car so we don't wake them up. I already loaded our stuff." Anna said quietly.

I looked at the clock. 6am.

I picked up Bella as Ross picked up Brody and went outside with Anna. We put them in their seats and climbed in the back.

"We were up late, you guys go on asleep." Anna said I wasn't going to argue, I was dead tired.

When I woke up again, we were stopping for gas. Everyone else was already awake.

"Good morning, sleepy head." Ross smirked.

"Are we home yet?" I joked.

"Not far. About an hour away." Ross told me.

"Thank goodness. Vacation was amazing, but I wanna sleep in my own bed." I sighed.

"Beach is fun!" Bella said.

"It was really fun. But now we can swim in the pond! And play with the dog." I told her. She smiled.

We drove the rest of the way home, talking about our favorite parts and what we were excited for at home. Not long later, we were in our driveway.

"Everyone hurry and unpack your things. You can have a quick bedtime snack but then everyone needs to shower and head to bed." Anna said.

We all got out and carried our bags to our rooms. Then, I ran to the bathroom to get the first shower.

Once I was done, I ate some cereal for snack and went to my room. It felt really good to lay in my own comfy cozy bed.

I closed my eyes but just couldn't fall asleep. I rolled over to search for my ipod Anna bought me but it was nowhere. Maybe Ross has seen it.

I got up and tiptoed through my closet and into his room, but he stopped me before I entered.

"Oh, uh, have you seen my ipod?" I asked him.

"Oh yeah, sorry. When you fell asleep in the car I used it. I'll run and get it." He said. He ran over in his room and quickly came back.

"Here you go. I also... added a song or two for you to listen to." He said.

"Really? Cool, thanks. Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight."

I went to bed to quickly listen to the new song. I fell asleep listening to the song Ross left for me.
