Chapter 3: Get out of my kitchen

Diana

"Mom that mansion was built with the deal money! The same one that was supposed to go to the hospital 'Sunrise' mom! Our dream! We fought against the damn government to start building it!!" I tried to reason with my furious mother on mine and Tyler's latest episode.

"All the more reasons why you should have kept it in one piece for us to get the money back legally in the proper way!!" Oh no she is giving the mom eye!

"Mom, listen, now we even get the insurance money, good right?" I spoke as calmly as I could.

"Realy Diana? Aren't you supposed to be the leader? Where did you leave that brain of yours? In the sewage??" Yep definitely got the sarcasm from mom. She dabbed the cotton with the antiseptic on my wounds, harshly might I add.

"Remember? You aren't necessarily a trusted source for The Rouges to put the mansion under your or any of ours bloody name, we are their damn enemy! How in the god forsaken world do you plan for us to get the damn insurance money?!" Mom glared at me as she wrapped my arm.

"Um....steal it?" Tyler not the right ti-

"Really? Wow I didn't even think of that, my my Tyler" Mom smiled sweetly at an idiotically grinning Tyler and walked up to him, gently patting his head "haven't you all grown up to be a BUNCH OF NUTJOBS!!" Mom hit Tyler's head a few times, effectively getting a few 'Ows' and a 'damn I forgot how scary moms can be' from Tyler.

"Mom he hit his head during the fight" I let the information slip as I saw Tyler pleading for help from me, of course the information stopped mom's continuous hitting even though it was hilarious, given both of their reactions.

"What?! Where?! Let's go to the hospital, now!" Mom grabbed Tyler's hand and started rushing out of the room.

"Mellisa, Mel- Mellisa, I'm okay...." Mom ignored him and went downstairs, dragging him with her. "We don't have t-" I closed my lips shut with that one look mom gave me ".....no hospital is needed....." Tyler hugged mom tightly and gently patted her head. "Mellisa calm down. It was just a hit, not even a concussion happened, I'm sure of it." Mom sighed and checked his head. "You kids will make me old before it's time for me to have grey hair."

"Mom don't worry, you know we'll always come back in one piece, a promise is a promise." I smiled at her and I know from her glistening tear filled eyes that she is thinking of her too...

It was like silence fell over us, everyone was drawn to that particular memory, everyone had tears gracing their dazed eyes. We all missed her, she was our light, and with her the glimmer of hope was gone too.

Unintentionally all of our sorrow filled eyes fell on the one that was drowning with the most amount of pain. We knew Cody loved her, so damn much that he wished to take back the things he told her, the things he did to her, it was painful yet somewhat reassuring to see he realized what a diamond he lost.

"You know she...um she called. There is a chance..." I look at Cody who's eyes widened in shock.

"Do it right this time." Jaiden patted Cody's shoulder before plopping down on the sofa.

And with that followed another course of silence where I'm sure everyone was thinking of what will happen when she shows up again, and of course the longing in everyone's heart for her was just as painful to prolong the silence.

"Um...Van, dear, why don't you make that special chocolate cake of yours for tonight?" Mom clear her throat and look at Van attempting to change the subject.

"Yes I'll help!" Aiden pipped up rushing over to stand beside Van.

"NO!" Vanessa looked at him in horror as she frantically shook her head.

"Yeah Den we don't want to burn down the kitchen, it's best you sit this one out" Tyler pulled Aiden with him and plopped down on the sofa as Vanessa went to the kitchen to make the cake.

"Kids we have guests coming over today, clean up and get rea-" Dad walked in the house and stopped seeing the bandages wrapped around me and Tyler, "what happened?" His voice was as calm as the silence before a storm.

"You know the mansion The Rouges built with the money they stole from us?" Tyler sat up, ready to run as I started explaining the whole situation to dad.

"Well me and Tyler kinda got into a situation regarding that where we sort of set a tiny little fire and it might have blown up the whole mansion." I backed away as dad looked at us with an expressionless face.

"Robert...relax okay? What they did was wrong and they realized that, right kids?" Mom looked at us and we all nodded our heads.

Mom walked over to dad and held his hand and suddenly it was like a switch being turned as dad's stiff posture relaxed and he let out a tired sigh "just be careful next time and think before doing anything." With that being said mom and dad went upstairs to their room as we all sat down on the sofa relieved to be saved from dad's wrath.

"So who are the guests?" Jaiden's voice cut through the peaceful silence.

"Probably the-"

"GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!" Vanessa's voice rang through the house as the seat previously occupied by Aiden was now left empty. Love really makes an idiot shine in idiocy.
