Augustus' POV
Shoot, did I really just say that? fuuuu!
"I'm um I'm gonna go" I said and ran up to the tree house.
"Hey Gus" said Thomas, Scarlet waved, Phoebe and Chris smiled.
"Hey guys" I said and sat at the edge.
"How do a bunch of 15-17 year olds manage to fit in a treehouse like this?" asked Chris, I shrugged.
"Gus, how do Aunt Lexi and Uncle Carter manage to stay so close?" Thomas asked sadly, I shrugged.
"You wanna go ask them?" I suggested, he nodded and the two of us ran out of the treehouse.
"Carter!!!!!! stop it!" Mom yelled, we knocked on the door, Dad opened it, Uncle Carter, Mom and Aunt Katy sat around the room red faced.
"Hey boys" Mom said, a big smile on her face, she was sitting on Uncle Carter's stomach.
"Hey" I said and we walked in.
"So, what's up?" asked Aunt Katy.
"How do you and Uncle Carter manage to stay so close?" Thomas asked Mom, she sighed, Uncle Carter pushed her off and Mom fell on Dad.
"Hi" she giggled, Dad kissed her on the forehead.
"So, how did you guys stay so close?" I asked.
"We hung out loads, kept each other updated on stuff, told each other everything, we only started getting close when we were around like um 17" Uncle Carter said.
"The years before that, he barely knew of my existence, because I ran from home" Mom said.
"How do me and Alexis stay close, we're starting to drift apart" Thomas said quietly.
"Oh Thomas" Aunt Katy hugged him.
"Are you and Nash still close Kate?" Asked Uncle Carter.
"Sort of" Aunt Katy said.
"Dad, can I talk to you?" I asked, he nodded and we went to my room.
"So, whats up?" he asked.
"I like this girl" I said, he stopped me.
"Who is this 'girl'?" Dad asked.
"Alexis Hood" I said quietly.
"Really now?" Dad said smirking.
"Don't tell Aunt Katy, or Mom! or Alexis, especially not Mom or Alexis" I said.
"I won't don't worry" Dad said ruffling my hair.
"Tough thing is, she likes Chris" I said.
"Oh, I know exactly how you feel" he said.
"Really?" I asked
"Me and Uncle Sam go way back" Dad said chuckling.
"What do I do?" I asked.
"Be yourself, it worked for me" dad said winking.
"Thanks dad" I said.
"No problem" he said and ruffled my hair.
Alexis' POV
I sat on the couch in the living room staring blankly at the wall, why did Gus all of a sudden just say that? Its so bizarre, out of the ordinary.
"Hey Alexis" Uncle Matt said, Gus hit him, and Uncle Matt smirked.
"Hey Uncle Matt" I said.
"You got any boys on your mind?" he asked, Gus' eyes widened and he ran upstairs.
"Yeah....Chris is cute" I said.
"Oh...Alex got a crushy" he said poking my sides, I squirmed a little.
"Hey Alexis!" Thomas said sitting on me.
"Thomas! get off me" I laughed.
"Never!" he said and I laughed, Uncle Carter and Aunt Lexi were doing something similar, except Aunt Lexi was being held upside down.
"Carter!" she yelled, I pushed Thomas off and he tickled me, I squirmed.
"Thomas!" I yelled laughing, he had a proud look on his face as if he had accomplished something, he looked to mom and smiled, while he was distracted, I pushed him over.
"How does it feel to be on this end of the tickling?" I asked him, he was squirming more then I was, and everyone was laughing.
