√ Chapter 2. Icicles in My Nose and Having a New Dog in The Family

When I wake up in the morning Adam is still asleep next to me. Most people would probably find it strange that I slept in the same bed as my brother, but for us it's normal. Sometimes I have many nightmares about mom or dad, or some crappy movie that I had to watch, and then I just need someone next to me to calm myself down. Adam and all my other brothers wouldn't mind if I crept into their bed in the middle of the night, I've done it many times before. I always give them a scare in the morning though, but that's the most funniest part of it all.

I step out of Adam's bed still only in his shirt and walk down the stairs. Nobody's awake yet. It's winter break so we don't have school for a while. It's still only 9am, but if they don't get their asses out soon enough then I'm going to wake them up. We're not going to ruin our vacation with only sleeping.

I turn on the TV and watch some kind of stupid show. Soon it's 10am and I'm done with the waiting. I grab a pan and a spoon and walk really quiet upstairs. When I'm in the hallway I start hitting the pan with the spoon and make as much noise as possible. I hear some grunts from the room and a few fall down from their bed. I start laughing really loud and I clamp my stomach while I fall on the ground with tears streaming over my cheeks from the laughing.

Everybody storms out of their room's and they look really angry, but I have too much fun to care. They approach me with evil smiles on their faces and I'm quickly alarmed. I stand rapidly and start running downstairs. I walk straight to the back door and step out into the snow on barefoot. It's freezing cold, but I don't care. I laugh and run through the snowflakes that are still falling down to the earth. There is a soft breeze with fresh air and the snowflakes flicker before they return to falling down.

Someone wraps my jacket around me and the instant warmth in comparison with my ice cold legs makes me quiver. “Alyssa, come in. It's ice cold,” says David and he leads me inside to the warmth. They wrap an extra blanket around me and I start shaking uncontrollably now. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I take a seat on Blake's lap and he wraps his arms around me making me feel a lot warmer.

“Estrella, that was really irresponsible. You shouldn't have done that. You could get sick with Christmas,” Cain says my official first name which means he is definitely a little mad at me for being so stupid, but it was so much fun. Though, I have to admit that I'm freezing cold right now and being sick with Christmas is not something on my wish list.

Talking about Christmas, tomorrow is Christmas day and not to forget tonight is Christmas evening. We always have this tradition to go shopping for a Christmas tree. Every year we buy a new one and on Christmas evening we decorate it and then we all eat together. Not that we normally don't eat together, but sometimes one person isn't home, but now everybody's here and we just play games and have the most fun time together.

“I'm sorry,” I say to them all. “I know it was stupid to run out in almost nothing. I was just exited,” I say with the shame in my voice very clear. Blake squeezes me tighter against him as a comfort.

“It's okay, just don't be so irresponsible again please,” Bryce says and I nod. I've learned my lesson, that's for sure. Because jeez that was so cold!

“When are we leaving for the Christmas tree?” I ask excited, not able to wait any longer.

“As soon as when you're warmed up again,” Adam answer. I blush a little and nod to them. I hide myself some more in Blake's arms and just try to warm up as fast as possible.

After a few minutes I jump up from Blake and everybody looks startled at me. “I'm going to take a shower and get dressed,” I explain to them and before they can give me an answer I run upstairs.
