Kayla Aceti-

I woke up to my phone going off, to a ringtone I didn't recognize first off since I was half asleep and it confused me. Regardless of not knowing who it was, I answered and cleared my throat before speaking. (Bold is Unknown Italics are Kayla)

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetie." I immediately recognize my mother's voice and straighten up. Why would she be calling so early- wait it's 3 in the afternoon. I jump out of bed and slide out of my pajamas. I struggle to put on my shorts with one hand.

"Hey mom. How have you been?"

" Good. Now listen honey your father just lost his job and we don't have the money to support you." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This was complete and utter bullshit. They were more than loaded and only got the jobs so they wouldn't seem snobby. Panic filled my voice as I asked the dreaded question.

"What?! Where am I supposed to go?!"

" Your father and I are sending you to live with Jerome." Of course they would send me to live with my older brother. They didn't want me to live with them.

"How? He is in LA! That's like 5500 miles away?!"

"Just go!" I could hear her voice crack, I immediately regretted yelling. My mother is a very sensitive woman sometimes and it hurt me when I hurt her.

"Wait mo-" she hung up before I could say anything. I sigh and rub my hand down my face as I sit on the edge of the bed. I get up and make my way downstairs to where my boxes are. I was supposed to move to Seattle but I guess that will not be happening. I grab my car keys and quickly slip into a tank-top and a hoodie over my shorts and tank top. I throw on my vans and walk outside to my car. I start it up and head to the gas station to get some gas and a slushy.

*****************

I was in the middle of watching a lucky block mod race by BajanCanadian when I heard a knock at my door. I groan and pause the video as I set my laptop on the coffee table. I got up to answer it and saw Jerome. I let him in and he saw my laptop and smiled. He went to grab my bags while I grabbed Jerome's gift for letting me live with him. I give it to him and he smiles when he sees the mini model of my minecraft character. He told me that he wanted one to put next to his in his bedroom a few months ago.

"Ready?" I grab my laptop and nod my head rapidly. We left the house and I put the spare key back under the flower pot. I sat in the front seat and was listening to my music until I eventually fell asleep.

---------

I woke up right as we got to Jerome's place that he shared with his friends. It was humongous and it was so beautiful on the outside. I wonder if its the same on the inside.

"Holy chicken nugget butter," I muttered.

" Come on," Jerome yelled and I stopped staring and looked at Jerome who was waiting with a big grin. I ran up to where he was standing and stood there while he got out his house keys. He handed me one and i quickly attached it to my lanyard. He opened the door and I immediately gasped. The inside looked just like the Team Crafted house. Wait a minute! That's what i was forgetting! My brother was a part of Team Crafted. "You like?"he asked smirking as I took in the view. It was gorgeous!

" I don't like it, I love it!" I said as i set down my bags and twirled around letting my dress spin as well. I had changed into a blue dress with black rhinestones like waves on the bottom.

" I set up your room and don't worry, it's minecraft themed." he said. I nodded and went upstairs and unpacked. After marveling at my room instead of packing, I turned on some music and changed into my blue swimsuit with a see through sun dress over top because i wanted to go swimming when i was done.

--------------------------------------

After I was done, I decided to head downstairs. I grabbed my Nerf Rebel gun. and loaded it with bullets that smelled like flowers. I tiptoed out of my room and saw Jerome. I went up to him and tapped his shoulder as light as I could without him freaking out. I pointed to my gun and to the guys downstairs where they were casually talking and watching tv. He nodded and went to grab the Mega Blaster. We tiptoed down the stairs quietly and saw all guys there. I looked at Jerome and nodded while trying to contain my laughter. We both aimed, hid behind a corner, and then Jerome whispered "They don't know you're here. They think you are coming tomorrow. You'll need to hide."

I nodded and we both 're-aimed' and shot every guy multiple times and then Jerome had me go hide in my room. I ducked under the bed as I heard someone taking to Jerome. it was Mitch and Ian. I strained my ears to listen. I hear footsteps walking away and was thinking about crawling out but decided against it

"Jerome, you aren't the only one here. There are two kinds of bullets and one of them smells like flowers. Where is the girl?" Mitch asked. I heard footsteps and I held my breath. I felt my feet being pulled and next thing I know I'm being held upside-down by Jerome. I pouted and crossed my arms as my sundress covered my face. Jerome carried me downstairs where Mitch, Ian, and the rest of the guys were waiting.
