Your POV
When we're done eating pizza, we four go to the couch and play a little get-to-know-you game.
Its Seb's turn now. "So Dezi, can you sing anything else, at least at the moment?" he asks. "Uhum, I can do Skid Row, but thats a duet, but I can do it!" I say, reassuring them after seeing the looks on their faces. "I can also do Last Young Renegade, All the Lonely Nights, any Panic! song, I can almost rap Ode to Sleep, Message Man and Kitchen sink. Um, lets see, what else? Oh, the entire 1981 Extended Play album.." Remington cut me off, "Okay we got the point." Emerson snickers from behind me. Alright, it my turn now. "Remington! What would you do without Nutella?" I ask. "I would probably die." He responded, quite calmly. We all laugh at him. "What? I'm being honest!" He said. Jesus Christ, these people.
After about another thirty minutes, we decide we're done, and we all go to our separate rooms. Turns out, Remington's room is across the hall, and Emerson's is right next to mine. Sebastian's room is downstairs with the other guest room. I didn't finish unpacking, so there was a little bit left to put away. Just a few books, a few shirts, I have to put my makeup in a drawer in the desk/vanity thingy, and I still have to find a spot for my charger. There's an outlet behind the nightstand, so I put it there. My stuffed animals smiled at me from my bed, with their sewn-one smiles and plastic bead eyes. As I work, I quietly sing The Moon Song to myself since its like a lullaby.
When I'm officially done unpacking, I hear a knock at my door. "Come in?" I say hesitantly. No one in my foster homes ever knocked, so this was new. "Hey hey." It was Remington. "G'night, kiddo." He said. We did the classic 'good night hug' and he left. I changed into my pajamas, which was just a pair of black and grey athletic shorts and an old sweater. I turned off my light and crawled into bed.

I was back in my old room at my mother's. I hear her voice, and she sounds like she's on the phone. "Yeah, it'll be a quick errand and I'll take Dezarea with me." She said. "Dezi, come on!" She calls. I get up and go to the car with her. We're suddenly on the freeway. We were talking and laughing about something that had happened at my school. A normal conversation. We come to a spot where traffic is notorious for being slow. There's another entrance to the freeway here as well. While we were stuck in the little traffic spot, an eighteen-wheeler came barreling at us. My mother didn't see it coming. "MOM!" I yell, and point out her window. She didn't see it until it hit. The last thing I hear is her bloodcurdling scream.
I bolt up, and I'm in tears. I pull my knees up to my face and sob. I cry until my lungs and face hurt, I cry until I feel sick. I can hear a fair knock on my door, and it then open right after. "Dezarea?" Emerson. "Dezi, are you okay?" He asked again. I feel him sit on the bed next to me. I look at my phone's clock, 4:00 am. "Why are you awake at 4 am, Emerson?" I sniffle. "Why are you crying? Answer me and I'll answer you." He said. "Nightmare. It was awful.." I say. "Do you want to tell me about it? That normally helps." He offers. So, I tell him every last detail. Mom's voice, the spot we were at, the truck and her scream. When I finish, he had this look, a mixture of sadness, terror..and longing. He gives me a sad smile, "Well it was just a dream, Dezi. Its okay now." He pulls me into a hug and rubs circles on my back. When we break apart, I look at him. "Okay, now why are you awake at 4 am?" I ask with a smile. "Oh, uh, I was drawing...and I got really into it, and lost track of time." he said, smiling. "Can I see them?" I ask, curious as to what my brother has been up to for hours and is still going at, at 4 am. "Sure. C'mon." He says, and motions for me to follow. I enter his room, to find one of his famous wall pieces in front of me.

"Holy shit, Emerson! This is amazing!" I exclaim, because it truly was

"Holy shit, Emerson! This is amazing!" I exclaim, because it truly was. "I'm calling it, Metropolis of Tomorrow. What do you think?" he asked. "I think that's perfect." I smile. After that we just start talking, and I guess we lost track of time because we hear Remington shuffle out of his room and down the stairs. "Oh wow its already 9." Emerson said, looking up from his piece. Wow is right. He was right, you do lose track of time when you're caught up in something.
Later that morning
"So, Dezarea, school is a thing." Remington said. "Yyyeahh?" I say, dragging it out. "You're in high school right?" He asked. "Yeah." "Well then. Can you drive?" He asked. "I mean, I can, just not legally yet, but I can." I tell him. "Mmmmkay...Emerson? C'mere." He points to the spot next to him. "Yes?" Remington whispers something in his ear. "What? You realize she'll actually try and murder us right?" Emerson said. What are they planning that would make me want to kill them? "Nah she wouldn't kill the guys who shelter her." Remington brushed it off. "What are you two planning?" I ask, raising one eyebrow. "Oh you'll find out!" Remington laughs and sways side to side.
Emerson's POV
"Rem, you know she's actually going to murder us, right?" I pull him into the kitchen. "Dude, trust me, we're all above six foot and she's like, 3 feet tall. We'll be alright." He says and walks back to the dining room. "Sssooo, Dezi.." he starts. Oh god is he really.. "We're all going to take you to school!" He exclaims. I facepalm so hard in hopes that it knocks me out. "You...WHAT?!" She smacks her hands on the table and stands up. Remington giggles. "Rem? Are you drunk or something?" I ask him, because he's never like this. "No! I'm just excited!" He bounced. Oh dear Jesus.
