The Dare Started It All

Five

I look up to see an amazing ranch style house. There is a wraparound porch and a small bay window in the front. The front door is a light blue with a small beige plaque next to it that says 'McConihan'. Tyrone and I are walking up the drive way when a small boy comes running out the door.

"Bubby!" He screams as he jumps into Tyrone's arms. Tyrone catches the boy and spins him around with a huge smile on his face. I smile at the two and how cute their relationship is. Tyrone sees me all of a sudden and stops mid spin with a shocked expression on his face. "Uhh... sorry about that." Tyrone says as he puts the boy down.

I smile and shake my head. "This is the happiest I have ever seen you, so no need to apologise. I like this side of you." I notice the boy hiding behind Tyrone's legs looking at me. "Bubby who is she?" He asks as he points at me.

I smile at him and give him a little wave. "Hi I'm Levi!" I  say as I kneel down to his height. The boy steps away from Tyrone for a second before running over to me and jumping into my arms. "Bubby finally has a girlfriend!"

I blush at his remark and I see Tyrone look flustered. "She's uh, not my girlfriend Alex." Alex let's go of me and looks up at me. His eyes start to tear up and he sighs. "You're not my Bubby's girlfriend?" I shake my head no and smile sadly as I wipe his tears away.

"Here, come here." I cup my hand around his ear. "If me and Tyrone get to know each other more then maybe we will get together okay?" Alex's eyes light up and he gives me a hug. "If you make Bubby happy again, l will make you cookies and we can go down to the docks with them!" He says to me and I nod my head smiling.  Alex starts to wiggle in my arms and I put down. "C'mon Lesy! I wanna show you my room!"

I laugh as Alex grabs my hand and takes me inside. I look over my shoulder to see Tyrone mouth "sorry" to me. I shake my head laughing and go upstairs with Alex. He opens a baby blue door and runs up to the bed. The bed is one of those Lightning McQueen car-shaped beds. His walls are lined with almost every character in the movie, well the main ones at least. "You like Lightning McQueen a lot don't you?" I look down to Alex and see a questioning look on his face. "Yeah I do, how did you know?"

"Alex! Tyrone! Anyone home?"
