A Day in My Life

The Question

KOTA POV:

A couple days passed, and I was finally home and back to normal.

Nobody was treating me too special, or being too careful, and everything was almost regular.

But today was very special!

Because I had survived a couple days alone and no problems had occurred, Blake was finally allowing visitors! He was even making a giant dinner for tonight so that I could invite as many people as I wanted! 

I walked downstairs to give him the list of people I wanted and found that some of my people were already there.

On the couch sat Dylan and Taylor, and Aubrey and Blake. 

"TAYLOR! AUBREY!" I shouted cheerfully, sprinting into the room. Blake said "Careful!" but I ignored him, launching into the air. I leapt onto Taylor's lap and snuggled up, as Aubrey grabbed us both and squeezed. 

"Kota! We missed you!" Aubrey shouted. 

"Your poor brothers had nobody to annoy for so long. And Dylan was an absolute wreck." Taylor said dramatically with a secret wink to me, teasing him. I giggled when he rolled his eyes and scoffed, then I stuck my tongue out at him. 

He raised an eyebrow, already back to being scary, so I curled up farther on Taylor to hide.

"You doing okay, sweetheart?" Aubrey asked, looking concerned and putting a hand on my cheek. 

"I'm perfect! Totally good and able to see a million people today!" I said, not so subtly, and looked over at Blake. 

He chuckled and said "You can have people over today, as long as you behave and don't get too overexcited."

The doorbell rang at that second and I was surprised. "I didn't even invite anyone yet!" I promised, and Blake rose to open the door. 

"I know. I did." he said, letting Emma and Eric in.

Emma saw me and immediately began to tear up, and even Eric put his hands over his face as if pressing down emotions. 

I ran up and paused before them, balancing on my toes. 

"Miss me?" I said with a smile. Emma wrapped her arms around me and I hugged back. 

Eric grabbed my wrist with his stupid strong hand and dragged me over in front of him. Then he leaned down and said in his scariest voice "Dakota if you ever do that again I swear I will punch you so hard you won't be able to walk straight."

I shrunk down a little but grr-ed and then Dylan got up and stood in front of me, saying to him condescendingly, "Eric if you missed her, just say that. Don't make threats that you can't keep when you know I'm around." 

I looked up to him surprised and leaned to the side to look at Eric saying "HA!" then ducking back, when Eric made a grab for me. 

Gruffly he said "Fine. I missed you." and then Dylan stepped to the side to allow us to hug. 

I hugged him back begrudgingly and stepping back said "You're still evil, just so you know."

"And you're still a demon." he cooed. Dylan slapped the back of his head and I laughed. I liked this new bodyguard thing.

I handed my list of people to invite over to Blake and said "I have to go get ready! I'll be upstairs and girls, come with me!"

Taylor and Aubrey got up and Emma followed as I raced upstairs quickly.

I chose out a cute dress and pulled it on, as well as my favorite K necklace and ring from Chris, and then Taylor curled my hair for me. Emma did my makeup and Aubrey complimented me every time I spun. What kind of fairytale was I now living in???
