The stepbrother

Chapter 6

Ben's P.O.V.

Today is Saturday and my mom and Brock both don't have to work today.
"Ben, get up." Somebody said.
"No. Let me sleep." I replied.
"If you don't get up, I'll pull you down." Lennon threatened.
I quickly sat up and got out of bed.

"What did you want me up for?" I asked.
"Our parents want us downstairs." He answered.
"Where's Griffin?" I asked.
"He's downstairs. Now come on." He answered and threw me over his shoulder.
"Put me down!" I exclaimed and started pounding on his back as he went downstairs.
"Stop Ben." He said as he put me down on the couch.

Everybody was in the living room and Brock said "Now that we're all here, we have something to tell you."
"Oh God, please don't tell me you're pregnant." Griffin replied.
"No, Griff. I'm not pregnant." Mom laughed.
"We wanted to tell you guys that the new house is finished. We've already painted everything, so today we were wondering if you guys wanted to go look at it. We already bought everything but the movers have to put everything in the house. We're moving in during the next two weeks." Brock told us.
We all smiled and said that we wanted to go see it.

"Well, everybody go get dressed and you can bring some stuff to the new house if you want." Brock told us.
We nodded and I ran upstairs.
I changed into a pair of pants and a red shirt.
I opened the bedroom door and looked around the room to see what I could take to the new house.
I had a box of comic books I knew I wanted to bring so I went over to the box.
"I'm so glad I don't have to share a room with you anymore." Lennon said coming into the room and grabbing a few of his sports trophies.
"Thanks." I replied sarcastically.
He ignored me and brought his stuff downstairs.

I tried to pick up the box but it was too heavy.
Lennon came back into the room and laughed at me struggling to lift up the box.
"Can you help me please?" I asked.
"Fine, dork. But only because I feel bad that you're such a wimp." He answered coming over to me.
He lifted up the box with ease and carried it downstairs.
"Thank you." I said as he put it down next to the door.
"No problem, runt." He replied and put his shoes on.
He went outside and Brock came downstairs.
"So Ben, we're taking two cars. Izzy, Griffin and Rae are taking Raelynn's car and your mom, you, Lenny and I will go in the van." Brock told me.
I nodded and we put everything in the trunk of the van.

I was walking to the van when somebody picked me up from behind and threw me over their shoulder. They started running around on the grass and I realized Lennon had me. He stopped running and took me down to the ground with him.
"What the heck? What was that for?" I asked trying to get away from him.
He laughed and said "Because I felt like it."
He got up and so did I.
I pushed him and he turned towards me.
"You wanna go, runt?" He smirked.
I ran away from him and he started chasing me.
I screamed and Lennon caught me.
He poked my side and I laughed.

"Boys, come on." Brock said.
Lennon let me go and we got into the van.
Mom and Brock got into the van and we started driving.
"So after we go to the house, we were thinking we could go to the conservation area. Would you boys be up for that?" Mom said.
"Sure." We answered.

We drove a half hour to our new house, which is in the middle of nowhere, may I add. Rae followed us in her car and we all got out. It's still close to my school and the high school, but we still have to walk. We used to live a twenty minute walk from my school and the new house is also a twenty minute walk to my school. Brock opened up the door to the house and we went inside. We put everything in our rooms we needed to, and Lennon came into my room that was Captain America themed.
"Your room's almost as dorky as you." He laughed.
"Shut up." I replied as Brock came into the room.
"How come that wall isn't painted yet?" I asked Brock.
"It's a surprise." Brock answered.
I smiled and nodded my head.
"Do you like your room Ben?" Brock asked.
"So far, yes. I can't wait to see it when it's finished." I answered.
We walked out of my room and went to go explore other parts of the house.
