My Step Brothers

Chapter 8. My New Room

Lani's p.o.v.

Once my mom came to their home we left to go home our own. It was such a weird day. We got home and I helped mom in the kitchen to make our dinner. Just a little meal. We had blt's and chips. Mom poured us glasses of sangria. I know I'm too young to drink, but mom always gives me a glass of wine with dinner.

"Baby girl, I was hoping that after dinner we can get your bedroom packed up. The boy's are coming in the morning to help move us to their home."

"This is happening so fast."

"I know. I wanted to tell you sooner. I just wanted you to enjoy your time with your father. I didn't want you worrying about what was going on here. I just want you to be happy and I'm really happy right now. I feel like we have a chance to be a bigger and happier family. I don't want to wait any longer. I want you to experience having siblings before you go to college. Having more than me to look out for you. It's going to great, not always easy. But love and laughter will be plentiful." My mom says with a big smile on her face.

"Okay mom. I want you happy, I really do. Let's finish eating."

After dinner my poured herself another glass of sangria. We went upstairs with boxes. I took out my outfit for tomorrow and pajamas. I then started packing all my clothes. My mom took everything off my walls. Saving my pictures and throwing out old posters.

Once we had everything in boxes we took apart my canopy bed. All the boxes were stacked against one wall and my furniture was placed against the other. I took pictures of my old room all packed up and put it on Facebook. I wrote the end of my childhood home. I was soon messaging friends all night about me moving. I laid on my mom's bed while she packed up her stuff.

I woke up to the sound of voices and stomping up and down the stairs. It took me awhile to realize what was going on. I soon remembered that Chase and Alex we're coming over to move my stuff. I got up and showered in my mom's bathroom.

I got out of the shower and saw them moving my mom's stuff out of her bedroom. My Mom and their dad was taking a part her bed. The boys entered the room and looked over at me.

"Honey the boys got your room emptied and all your boxes are in their truck. We have your furniture in the moving truck. I have movers coming to pack up the rest of the house to put in storage. I figured that we can go thru it all when you guys go to college. I don't know if you guys are getting a dorm or getting an apartment for school. But we will have alot to furnish a household."

"Okay mom."

"So why don't you guys grab breakfast and head home. We will be there shortly."

"Sounds good. I'm sorry I didn't help. I guess I'm kind of a deep sleeper."

"It's okay honey. It's stressful saying goodbye to so many memories even when you know that so much more awaits. The boys worked real fast and we will have to do something special for them later."

"Okay mom. I guess we will see you soon."

"I know what something special you can do for us." Chase says to me as we walk down the stairs.

"Yea.. uh huh let's go get Starbucks. I would love a Carmel frappe." I tell them as we walk out the front door.

We got our drinks from the drive thru. With our yummy drinks we headed home. With them talking about what they want to do later. I just knew I would be unpacking all day.

"Alex move your stuff so Lani can have the middle bedroom" Chase yells out as I see him bringing my stuff down the stairs. I get up to follow Alex into his room, to tell him not to and that I will take the other bedroom. His room is a typical boys room with neon green and black bedspread, desk, skater, soccer and chick posters on the walls.
