[Chapter 15] The Calls

-Anthony's POV-

"You want to what?" Ian replied.

"I don't want to, I am," I retorted as I buckled Lucy in her car seat, my cell phone pinned between my ear and my shoulder.

"Dude, no, don't go. You're going to make a fool of yourself."

I laughed, "Ian, I didn't call you to ask for your opinion. I called you because I need to drop Lucy off somewhere and I don't think Mari would like it if I dropped my daughter off unannounced again."

"And you think I do?"

"Yes. Now I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye!" I hung up the phone and put in my pocket, closing the car door and slipping into the driver seat. I put the key into the ignition and started the car up. I looked in the rear view mirror at Lucy and smirked. I put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway.

*****

Ian took Lucy out of my hands with a look of hatred. "Thank you again so much, Ian," I said with a sigh of relief.

"You owe me," He replied as I handed him the baby bag. He slung it over his shoulder and glared at me. "Big time."

"I know," I replied, slipping my hands in my pockets, "Hey, I should be back in..."

"Where'd you go, Ian?" I heard Natalie's voice emanate from behind him. And the next thing I know, I saw Natalie come out of the bedroom hallway, dressed only in her shirt and underwear. I looked at Ian with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, grow up," He growled at me as he slammed the door in my face. I laughed and turned around, shouting, "I should be back in a few days!" I walked down the path that led up to the front door to my car in driveway, hopping in and backing out to go to the airport for my flight to New York.

-Natalie's POV-

Ian slammed the front door, turned around, and heaved a sigh. "Why do you have Lucy in your arms?" I asked as I pulled the two sides of my button up shirt together.

"Well, Anthony got this crazy idea to go to New York and get your sister back," He answered as he looked down at the little girl in his arms, "So he dropped her off because he needed someone to watch her while he was gone." He carefully set the baby bag and girl on the ground.

"When's he picking her back up?" I inquired, crossing my arms over my chest and watching Lucy crawl away, "I mean, I'm more than happy to help a friend out, but I...I have things to do. Taking care of Lucy will..." I returned my attention to Ian, "Get in the way of that."

"I think he said a few days."

I nodded my head in understanding. The two of us stood in silence for a little when I blurted out, "Wait, did you say he was going to New York to get my sister back?"

"Yup," He answered, "Anthony got this crazy idea to..."

"No, I heard you," I cut him off, taking a step towards him, "But are you for real right now?"

He laughed, "Why would I be not for real?" I squealed in excitement as I jumped at him and pulled him into a hug. He picked me up off of the ground and spun me around. "Someone's excited."

I giggled and leaned my forehead against his, "This day just keeps getting better and better," I whispered to myself. He looked down at me and pulled me into another kiss.

Just then, I heard my phone going off in Ian's bedroom. I pulled out of the kiss and ran into the bedroom, taking my phone out of my pants pocket and looking at the unknown number. I raised my eyebrow in confusion before answering it and saying, "Hello?"

"Natalie? Hey, it's me, Rachael."

"Rachael!" I exclaimed, "Oh my god! I haven't heard from you in forever!"

"I...I know," She replied less enthusiastically as I was, "Hey, uh, I just needed to talk to you about something."

I sat down on the bed and sighed, "What do you need to talk about?"

There was a moment of silence before Rachael went on to say, "I made a mistake...moving to New York with Andrew." Well no duh, I thought to myself, Everyone knows that, "I think I'm even sadder here than I was in California. And the only reason I'm staying with him is because I have nowhere else to go. I...I just want to move back."

Joey's POV-

"I love you," I finally built up enough courage to say. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest. "I love you, Kalel Cullen, and I can't believe it took me this long to realize it."

I waited for her to say something in response. But all I heard is, "Oh my god. Oh my god. Something's wrong. Marzia! MARZIA! I NEED YOU TO CALL 911! SOMETHING'S WRONG!"

"Kalel?" I asked. And the next I know, I'm being hung up on. "Kalel!?!" I repeated as I peeled the phone away from my ear. I turned around and saw Sawyer standing in the doorway, arms crossed over his chest.

"So you decided to call Kalel, huh?" He teased.

"Dude, I think something's wrong with Kalel," I replied as I rose to my feet, "I need to go and see if she's alright!" I rushed past him and down the stairs.

"You know she's in Italy right now, right?" He called down to me.

I rolled my eyes as I swung open the front door and ran out to my car, shoving the key in the ignition and speeding away.

Author's Note: Hey guys, thanks for bearing through this really bad chapter. Hopefully the next one will be better, with the whole Kalel situation, Anthony going to New York, Joey going to Italy, and Rachael thinking of moving back. Anyways, thanks for reading! -rac06h10ael
