The Self-Harmed

~Get ready, get set, go!~

We had barely gotten into the foyer of the house, when Jackson turned to us wiping out two credit cards. Mom held up a ring of keys.

"Get ready, get set go!" Jackson announced.

I grabbed my card, punched Caden, grabbed the keys and ran for the door. Caden grabbed my arm, yanked me back, and ran down the front lawn. We headed to the mall, and went different ways. I grabbed what I needed for my brothers room and then Caden and I met back up in the food court. Caden glared at me until I slowly began to eat my salad. Once at home we began our work. Coltan's room was bare. White walls, carpet. I layed out a sheet and got to work on the walls.

"So," Jackson grinned at Caden and I, "How's it going?"

"I already have half of Chloe's things set up." Caden grinned, then looked at me.

"I'm doing good."

"Can we get a sneak peek?" Mom asked eating a piece of chicken.

"No way." Caden shook his head.

"Nope." I agreed. "You'll just want us to change everything."

"No I won't!" She gasped.

"Honey," Jackson raised his eye brows.

"Fine." She sighed. "I'll wait."

I looked down at my plate. I had already eaten all of my carrots. When the hell did that happen? I looked over at Caden's plate, but he didn't have carrots. He didn't even like carrots, so I guess I did eat them. I looked at Mom and she nodded at me with a smile. Yup, my fat ass ate them all. After diner I took a quick shower, and sat down at my lap top. I opened it, and Caden walked in.

"You started yet?" He dried his hair with a Towel.

"Just in time." I told him.

He sat down next to me. Five squares popped onto my screen.  

"Hey!" Clara squealed and leaned into her lap top.

Ayelie covered her ears, and then grinned.

"What's up guys?' Alex grinned.

"Can we take a minute to talk about how hot it is here?" Owen demanded.

Ryder, Clara and I stayed quiet, and Ayelie, Alex, and Caden agreed with him. We never thought it was hot. I was starting to miss the feeling of being warm. Even when I took hot showers I still didn't feel warm. I always felt cold.

"So," Ryder changed the subject, "Who's in the lead with the baby room?"

"Me." Caden quickly answered him.

"As if," I shoved his arm. "I bet Chloe's paint is different shades."

"Is not!" His mouth popped open.

"Sibling rivalry!" Ayelie sighed, "I love it."

Caden laughed, and I flipped her off.
