Chapter 6: The War Begins

{ Parker's POV }

I'm going on strong, making myself look like im strong but inside, I'm an emotional wreck.

"Thank you for dinner Darleen."  Amelie says as we all finish our dinners.

Amelie starts picking up her plate and brings it to the sink.  I start to open my mouth to stop her but my mom beat me to it, surprising me with what she said.

"Oh no honey, I got it!" My mom insisted as she brought her plate to the sink as well.

"Well too bad, I've already started."  Amelie smiles.

"Fine, but I owe you," My mom jokes.

As my mom walks by I take her arm and whispers into her ear.

"What, you're actually going to be normal for a day?  Where's Jeffery? I'm surprised you haven't made him make our dinner or make him wash our dishes..."   I look at her with anger in me starting to rise.

"For your information, today is his anniversary with his wife so I gave him a day off, and you would actually know if you even took any interests into our life.  Because if you didn't know, this is our life.  With maids and butlers, You can't change it no matter how much you try to change it or hide it to your new friend"  My mom argues.

Before I could even defend myself Amelie starts to speak  "Where is your dish soap?"

"This conversation isn't over yet." I tell her

"I'm leaving tomorrow on a business trip so I think it already has." My mom says as she continues to head to her bedroom.

I change the mood in my face and walk over to the cabinets to get the soap.

"Sorry your kitchen is so massive I couldn't even find it," Amelie laughs while I find the soap.

I pass her the soap as I help her with the dishes as well.

"Oh no! You're fine you don't have to help me!"  Amelie starts freaking out.

I start laughing hysterically. "Are you kidding me? There's over 20 plates in this sink.  You need as much help as you can get ."

"Oh yeah?  You can't help me if there's soap in your hair."  Amelie smirks.

"What?"

Amelie reveals a huge dollop of dish soap in her hands and smashes it on top of my head.

"You did not just do that, I JELLED MY HAIR TODAY."  I jokingly yell at her.

She smirks at me and continues to wash the dishes.  I grab a huge handful of bubbles and smacks it on her face.

Amelie starts to laugh.  "Are you 8?  Do you really want to start a war like this?"

I smile at her. "Excuse me, I'm 6. Thank you, and Yes, let's start this War Ms. Amelie Rose.  Winner gets to wash the dishes."

She nods at me and smirks at me with mischief in her eyes.

I start with my first attack,  grabbing a bottle of soap and squirting all over her shirt.  She takes a bottle of soap as well and starts running away.

"WHAT NO. I THOUGHT THE BOUNDARIES WERE THE SINK AREA!" I yell.

"NOPE!" I hear Amelie from a far.

"THIS ISN'T FAIR MY KITCHEN IS MASSIVE!" 

Amelie doesn't respond.  I start tip toeing around the kitchen with my soap bottle in hand.  I start looking behind the pots and scoping around the entire kitchen.  I start hearing a creek from the hard wood floor from behind.  I immediately turn around to see Amelie with a soap bottle in hand as well.
