Marco POV

When i wake (or when i'm woken) i hear my mother in the kitchen, very loudly, cooking. i'm assuming she stayed the night. i get up to use the restroom and see my sisters old room looks occupied, so i'm guessing they stayed here as well. i can understand why

*flashback to the end of last night and
everyone is drunk (except Aria of course)
having a great time at the party*

Using my knuckle, i lightly tap on the girls door, and soon hear shuffling. then i'm pleased to see the smallest little frame open the door for me
"Goodmorning Aria. did you sleep well?"
she nods and cowers a little, maybe she's just shy. i ask her if she could wake up my sister, and let her know breakfast will be ready soon. this makes her excited and she smiles, shuts the door, and jumps onto the bed. i hear Layla wake up with a groan
"yes Ari, i'm awake, lay down now. What? oh breakfast? okay bug let me get waken up"
i wish i could know her like my sister does. how could i not have met this little light not one time in the passed three years she says she's lived with her? interesting.

Aria POV

i wake up to the smell of breakfast, but i hate being in unfamiliar places. just before i can wake up Lala, i hear a small knock at the door. when i open it i see her brother is there
"Goodmorning Aria. did you sleep well?
i nod my head but scoot back some, he's very very tall to me.
"would you like to wake my sister? i think breakfast will be ready soon" he has a kind smile just like Lala but he is also a little scary, especially when he speaks to his mother and gets mad. anyway, i love breakfast so i flash him a smile and close the door, running to jump on Lala. as soon as she's up and ready we head downstairs and i see that i'm only wearing a big t-shirt and no shorts!! what is this. i stop in my tracks and look around for who all can see me. eventually, realizing what i'm doing, my friend grabs my arm and pulls a little
"come on. it's just us no one cares"
she's not always so kind in the morning. but i let her pull me all the way to my seat where i pull myself up and when i sit, i see him staring at me. Marco
i wiggle my fingers at him and then before it can get more awkward, a plate is placed in front of me. it's so full of different varieties of things. i eat a little of all of it before i'm stuffed, and the whole time Lala is talking to me about today's plan. but when she notices that i'm not listening, i think she begins to talk to her brother instead.
"i have some important errands to run, so i'm gonna need someone to watch Ari. she's good, i just feel better having someone with her if i can help it."
i shoot a mean look at her. i can take care of myself, i do it all the time while she's gone throughout the year. ugh.
"i can watch her, i have no other plans today" he smiles at me warmly. but i don't smile back. i write on my napkin 'i want to go home' and slide it to Lala, staring at her until she complies.
"well, never mind i guess, she would like to go home"
"i think it would be best for all of us if i watched her, she will be good for me, right Ari?"
i don't know this man. and i don't like that he's trying to stop me from going home. but he gives me a scary look that i really don't like so i just nod and pick at my remaining food. thinking.
