I had just put the kids in my bed for now so that they could sleep. It looked like they needed it. Gosh, I can't believe that Logan, Jake, and I are the legal guardians of three children. And that my cousin is g-g-g -. I can't even say it. I tried so hard not to cry when the officer told me. I tried staying strong for the kids. It's still a lot to take in. My phone suddenly went off, so I checked it.

Logan: Hey, is everything alright?

Me: It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll tell you when you get home and then we need to tell Jake too.

Logan: Do you need me to come over now?

Me: No, I think I got it. Possibly. Just be home soon. Ly, bye.

Logan: Ok....ly2.

I turned my phone off and sat on the couch, a sigh escaping my lips. I stuffed a chocolate kiss in my mouth as I turned the TV on. I have to entertain myself somehow until Logan gets back.

~~~~~

A knock on the door made me jump. I was halfway through the movie I had found. With furrowed eyebrows, I slowly got up and made my way to the door. I have lots of things that I can use as weapons if needed. My hand reached out and pulled open the door.

A gasp came from me and the person on the other side. I can't believe it! It's the mystery boy from the first night that I was here. Wait, why is he knocking on my door? "Mystery girl?!" The guy exclaimed, a smile on his face. I laughed.

"Yah, it's me. What are you doing here?" I asked, leaning against the doorframe.

"Well, I was supposed to meet my friends little sister here." The mystery boy told me.

"Who's your friend?"

"Logan Paul." He answered. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"That's my brother!" I said. The boy looked at me surprised. Then my phone went off.

Logan: There should be a guy at the door. I sent him over to make sure everything is ok.

Me: He's here. And thx for worrying lol.

I shut my phone off and let the mystery boy in. "I never asked you what your name was." The guy told me, sitting on the couch.

"It's Emma."

"Daniel Seavey." I nodded before a thought came to mind.

"Wait, aren't you apart of a band?" Daniel nodded. "Oh, my friend has a crush on one of your band mates." Daniel raised an eyebrow at that and I stuck my tongue out, giggling afterwards. As I sat beside him, my phone began blowing up. It was a bunch of Snapchats from Mae. Oh god.

I opened them all and even screenshotted them all. She had taken selfies with all the Why Don't We boys, including Jack. Awww, ship.

Mack. (DahBestEvah)

Daniel looked over my shoulder and chuckled. I went to my stories and groaned when I saw Mae's story. They were all of the Why Don't We boys. Oh boy is she going to get alotttt of comments from all our friends. Oh boy, good luck Mae, your gonna need it.

"So, Logan's your brother?" Daniel stated when I got off my phone. I nodded, a smile finding it's way onto my face.

"Yah. Him and Jake used to spoil me rotten when I was younger and our parents would always get mad. But they'd continue to do it anyway." I told him, a smile on my face as I replayed the memory in my head. Daniel watched me with a smile of his own on his face. I blushed a deep shade of red when I noticed, which made him grin.

We talked for a good two hours. Just talking about life and random things. We even had an agruement about which was better, Pancakes or Waffles..... Yah, I'm not joking. It happened. Daniel is a sweet and funny guy. He would make a great husband when he got married. He even helped me with Ben when he woke up screaming. Poor kid, I wish I knew how to make him not go through so much pain. I wish I could take his pain away and have to go through it myself. That's how much I care about them and I have only known them for less than twelve hours. Daniel talking thought me out of my thoughts.

"Well, I better get going, the boys are blowing up my phone." Daniel said, standing up and stretching. I smiled and stood up with him.

"Ok, see you later?" Daniel nodded, smiling.

"Yah, call me and we'll see what happens." Daniel told me as he walked out the door. I waved goodbye as he walked around the corner. We exchanged numbers earlier. Looks like he trusts me enough if he gave me his phone number.

I sighed. I quickly went into my room and changed into some comfy clothes. A smile formed on my face as I looked at the sleeping children. I had made a makeshift crib for Chloe that I created out of pillows and blankets. I'm pretty proud of myself. She hasn't rolled out or hurt herself yet. Key word: yet.

I kissed all their foreheads before leaving the room, slowly closing the door behind me. My feet carried me to the fridge and my hands grabbed the ice cream. Brownie, yum. One of my favorites. I grabbed a spoon and sat on the counter, just enjoying my ice cream. I ate half of the tub before deciding that I needed to go to sleep. There's gonna be a big day tomorrow, I can tell.

I took a blanket and a pillow, laying down on the very comfortable couch. I turned the TV on and the show The Flash was on. Since nothing else good was on, I was stuck with this.

~~~~~

My phone blaring in my ear woke me up. I groaned, rolling over. It continued to ring annoyingly. Ugh, who is calling me. Don't they know that I'm sleeping!? I mumbled some words while blindly searching for my phone. My fingertips touched the familair object and I grabbed it, holding it against my ear.

"Hello?" I mumbled, still half asleep. I need to put my phone on silent when I sleep next time.

A laugh was heard from the other person. Mae. "Sorry to wake you sleeping beauty but I need you to let me in. I need to tell you something, it's important." Mae rushed out. Her voice sounded panicked and worried. This had me fully awake in seconds and opening the door within a minute. I looked at Mae wide eyed. She stood there in her PJ's with a duffle bag on her shoulder and phone in hand. Mar rushed in past me and went straight to the couch.

I heard snoring come from the other rooms and knew that Logan and Evan were sleeping. I speedwalked over to the couch and sat beside Mae. "What happened?" I questioned. Mae sighed, closing her eyes as she leaned against the couch. After a moment, she finally opened her eyes and looked at me.

"You'll never believe me."

"Try me."

"It's insane and absolutely crazy."

"Do you know who your talking too? I'm best friends with you and you are exactly both of those things." I replied, a smirk on my face. Mae's face broke out into a smile for a second before it went serious. She took in a deep breath before opening her mouth to speak when someone started banging on the front door.
