Chapter 22

The weekends over and we're all packing to go home Xander and I pack our bags then Ella's, we put out blankets and bag into my car and then deflate the bed and take down the tent. Thankfully everything fits. His parents are all set to leave but they wait for us. Xander buckles Ella and I get in and buckle and so does Xander his parents drive in front of us and we follow them until we have to go our separate ways home.

Getting home it's so stressful bringing everything in and we put the tent in our garage with our blow up bed. I put our blankets and pillow cases in the washer and our dirty close in the dirty laundry basket. I put out duffle bags in the garage, and I'm finally done cleaning.

"Lori, I'm hungry." She says

"Okay what do you want for lunch?" I ask.

"Ramon noddles." She says.

"Okay they will be done in 5 minutes I say going to the kitchen and putting Ramon in the microwave, then put two ice cubes in it and mix it until the ice cubes melt.

"Ella, your foods done!" I tell. She runs down and eats then I realize they smell good so I make spend for myself.

"Can we go to the park today?" She asks.
"Yeah sure." I say after eating I bring her to the park where all of her friends are. On a Sunday afternoon, while she plays I read one of my books I bought.
All the kids leave and Ella finally want to leave and on the way home we get Burger King. We eat in then as we leave I get something for Xander cause he should be home from work.

I get home and Xander is asleep on the couch. I put the food on the coffee table with a sticky note.

'Hope your slept good, here's dinner<3'

I go upstairs and play with Ella, we play with you little pet shop dolls. Until I get really tired and I tell her to go to bed. I turn off her light and I go check on Xander and he's still sleeping so I go lay down in my bed, plug my phone on and go to sleep.

***

I wake up and Xander is beside me. I go to grab my phone and there's a note.
'Good morning beautiful, thank you for dinner.'

I smile and get out of bed and go pee. I brush my teeth and brush my hair. I go down stairs and make chocolate milk cause I can't drink much coffee. I watch tv and cuddle up in a blanket it's really cold today, probably cause it's pouring outside.

**3 hours later**

Xander is up waking up Ella and getting ready for work. He lets me rest and watch this movie that I don't even tho to name of but it's really good.

Ella is so mature and gets herself breakfast she gets milk and a donut. And eats it at the breakfast bar. I just look at her and smile cause even though she's had a ruff life she still pushes threw everyday and doesn't fight with us to go to school for get ready.
