Living With The McCallen Boys

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The movie ended and I believed I was the only one awake. I gently lifted Nina off me and laid her head down on the pillow I had.

Then, my hands helped the rest of my body get up and I quietly tip-toed outside. Don't worry, I had warm clothes on. I went to my normal spot and laid down looking up at the night sky, stars filling very little space.

A shooting star passed and I decided to make a wish.

"I wish that..." I paused, thinking how to say this. "I wish that my life will become less complicated and that i will become stronger when it comes to all of...this." I sighed at my horrible wish making but hey, I already got my number one wish...I'm living with the McCallen Boys.

After another 5 minutes, I started to get chilly so I headed inside, only to find someone awake. Matthew.

"Why were you outside?" He whispered to me.

"Because I needed some fresh air. I was getting light headed." He nodded and said what was bothering him. His face told it all. "Kora..Can I talk to you about something?" I waved him into the kitchen so we wouldn't disturbed the 4 sleeping beauty's out there.

"What is it?" Matthew say across from me at the table.

"I need help asking this girl out. Her name is Memphis." Memphis. I looked completely shocked. Matthews face burned red and embarrassment flared off of him. I put my hand on top of his and said, "I have an idea but first you have to wait until Tuesday to ask her out. Monday I have to do my Kora magic and do something." I smiled.

"Thanks Kora." He smiled. We headed back out and 3 sleeping beauty's were gone, except for mine. She was sound asleep. I rolled my eyes at her and laughed. Matthew helped me carry her upstairs. Now when I say this, I'm being 100% honest. I looked like we were carrying a dead body. No joke. If someone saw us, we would be going to jail. Wait it only gets better!

I had to open my door right? The only way to get in so being me I forget I'm holding Nina and I drop her. All you hear is a thud. I looked at Matthew and he just laughed. She has a concussion, it's official. That wasn't even the best part!

She was still snoring. Matthew and I laughed, we tried to hard to hold it in but it was hard, we had some loud laughs but other than that..for the most part they were medium volume laugh level.

We finally made it into the room and I went to throw her up on the bed. Ha. See what had happen was, we threw her on the bed, but not far enough up because she fell up and landed face first. She was still asleep.

Matthew and I ran out of my room and started laughing, both trying so hard to keep it low. I pulled out my phone and took a pic. Her face was facing us, arms to the side of her body, and her butt was up.

Our laughing session came to an end when we picked her back up and put her on my bed. Sleep peacefully young one because in the morning, your head will hurt like a b!tch.

Morning came and Matthew and I were laying on the couch. Him on one side, me on the other.

A fresh smell of pancakes came running up my nose. My body jumped up so fast that I literally climbed over Matthew just to get to the kitchen.

Then it was that time of day when everyone was down and we all sat at the table. Matthew and I looked at each other holding in our laughs from last night.

Nina put her head in her hands, "My head hurts so bad." Matthew and I spit our chocolate milk at each other in a mist. We started coughing and those coughs turned into laughs, rolling on the floor, looking at each other and then repeated situation.

"Get up." Jacqueline said. I couldn't tell if she was angry, or happy, or something. She showed no emotion.

Matthew looked at her and a light bulb went into his mind and his face saddened also.

Nina and I looked at each other and I finally understood why. Exactly one year ago, Jacqueline husband died.

My hand covered my mouth as I went to hug her. Jacqueline hugged me back and tears fell on my bare skin(tank top).

I could already tell that today is going to be a stay home day and remember their beloved lost one.

Yesterday, the house was quiet except for the cries that had to come out, the cries that have been bed in for so long. Today was school again, I haven't been to school in months so this is just going to be fantastic.

Nina and I got ready together. She put on, light skinny jeans, a light pink/blue flower blouse with a black tank top underneath. She also had vans with white laces. Her white scarf put everything together.

I had dark blue skinny jeans, my favorite pair of combat boots, a gray tank top with this shirt I got from pink. I added my leather jacket and my outfit was complete. We took 10 minutes for hair and make up. This was our daily routine back home in New York so.

"Let's go! We are going to be late!" I couldn't tell which boy said it but it was loud. Nina and I grabbed out backpacks in sync, ran down the stairs in sync and even walked in sync.

"Are you guys like copies of each other???" Cameron asked.

We laughed before us both saying, "She is practically my twin."

Cameron brought his head up but his eyes were still looking at us.

"Yea...are you sure one of you wasn't switched at birth?"

"Positive, checked our birth certificate." Nina and I said in unison.

"Stop doing that! It's creepy!" Matthew held his ears.

"Good!"

We arrived at school in a good 5-10 minutes.

My stomach filled with butterflies. This school was filled with memories but they weren't all bad so that was good i guess.

Well, here goes nothing.

A/N Sorry this chapter is so boring and short! The next chapter will be better! I promise
