Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Michael's Away So The Kids Will Play." - Chapter 57

Dedicated to xxcrybaby_crownxx, The Amazing Idea. I Love It. (Apologies That I Changed It Up A Bit)

3rd person p.o.v.

This vacation was gonna be amazing... For Benny and Michael. They had been dating for a while now and it was about time they got away for a bit. They've had a few dates, but Michael liked the idea Benny mentioned. Michael, taking care of five younger kids, it gets exhausting. Plus trying to audition and get roles for movies and TV shows so that he can earn enough money to support his siblings, also isn't easy. This means not much time to relax. "Evan. No." Michael said as he paced between his wardrobe and bed, placing clothes inside a suitcase.

"But it won't be that many!" Evan pleaded.

Michael shook his head, "No. No. No." He said as he threw a shirt into his suitcase.

Perfect timing for Devon, who walked in and flopped on Michael's bed, "Sup."

Evan rolled her eyes and went back to begging, "It will be like four friends."

"You have friends?" Devon smirked.

"Bite me!" Evan glared.

Michael sighed, "Both of you out! I need to pack." Michael grabbed Devon's arm and Evan's arm and pulled them to the door. "No friends. No parties. No anything! Am I understood?" He questioned as he pushed them out of the room.

"Yes-" Both said.

"Good!" Then he shut the door, getting the final word.

Evan looked up at her brother who looked down with an evil look in his eyes. "What?" Evan asked him. Devon left with a smirk on his face. He had an idea. A bad one, but an idea. Evan pouted and went to her room.

After what seemed like an eternity of packing, which was really only thirty extra minutes, Michael was saying bye to his sister and brothers while Benny was playing a game against Devon on their Nintendo DS'. "Benny, come on." Michael called.

Benny groaned. "Rematch when I get back." You'd think he was being forced on this mini vacation- It was his idea.

Devon chuckled and nodded. "Of course, but you're still gonna lose." Benny shook his head, chuckling a bit as he bro-hugged Devon. He then made his way to the car and got in.

Michael looked at Devon. "No friends over! If I find out, you will regret it." Michael went to turn, but before that said, "Am I understood?" All kids nodded and said yes. Michael got in the car and honked as he drove out of the driveway.

Devon waved and waited till they were good and gone. "Boys." Devon said as he turned on his heels to face his younger brothers, "Call up all of your friends. We're having a party."

"Michael said no." Said Todd.

Devon glared at Todd. "I'm well aware, you moron. But I'm in charge, so what I say goes. Understood?"

"I'm also in charge!" Jordan reminded.

When Todd didn't answer fast enough, Jordan hit him upside the head. "Ow." Todd rubbed his head, "Yes, understood."
