The jerk in my house.

Happy birthday, mom .

Okay so, there are bound to be some pretty boring chapters in certain stories written. And I could say that, at the moment mine was prolly Chappie 3 & 4. I've been re-editing this for quite some time now and hopefully it turns out aight. :D

_______________________________________________________________________________

So, let me get this straight. If I'm not mistaken Dan want to dress up in a BEAR SUIT, and scare the heck of mom in a 5 star restaurant? He gotta be kidding me right?

"You are not doing that Dan! " I hissed over the table , not wanting to attract any atention. We are after all in a 5star reastaurant, sorrouded by posh and elite peoples.

"But wouldn't that be awesome? I mean like who else would dress up as a bear in a restaurant?" Dan replied, nudging at the 6 foot tall bear standing next to him. Who am I kidding? My family. Is the best at attracting unwanted attention. Esspeacially my brothers. One time when we were at the petting zoo, you wouldn't have guessed what they did. They climb onto an ostrich and it panicked so it went running over the fence, out onto the street and crashed into the garbage bin. It was supposingly supposed to be all over the papers the next day. But the worst part was that the paper got a picture of me laughing so hard that I looked constapated and I was squating , so .. if you get the picture, you'd know what it look like. Oh, and not to mention . There was a pile of shit right behind me . With just the perfect angle , you could've guessed what it looked like. And the paper headlines wrote " Girl who shits in public" Instead of "Crazy boys taking a wild ride on an ostrich" .

"There's a reson, dan, why people don't do that! Now, shhhh. They're here!"

We all kept quiet , sat up straight and put on a big smile. And I since I was the only girl , had to cross my leg. Mom and dad in the restaurant looking as lovey-dovey as ever . Mom doesn't know that we were here, she thought that it would have only been her and dad. The waiter escorted her to our table , and when she saw us sitting there , she tried putting on a 'surprised' look. Note. I said tried.

"Oh, my. What a pleasent surprise. My kids are all here." She said in an almost robotic voice.

Hmph, perhaps a simple , 'Oh you shouldn't have. But thanks' would be nice.

"Hmph." Jake 'coughed' .

"Ah yes Jake, I see you're here too. " She walked over to give Jake a kiss on the cheek and then sat down.

" Well, Ashley invited me. So if anything , it's her fault really. " He said jokingly but glance over to me giving me a cheeky grin.

"Ashley invited you? " She looked over at me a bit shocked that I would have actually talked to Jake. "Well, that's nice of her. But sweetie, you know you don't need an invitation."

"I know. It's just that she din't know that and well she was practically begging me to come . So, I couldn't have stopped her. "

I open my mouth and closed it back, looking like a fish when I did that. I was about to snap back at him. But I remembered that Lance told me not to get all cranky at him even if he deserves it, atlease only for the night. For mom then. I'm even surprise at how mom didn't say anything about the huge bear . It's not like it's unnoticeable.

"Yes. It wouldn't have been a family without you." I forced a smile , my mouth twitching slightly at him.

Hu chuckled . "Alright sweetheart."

I guess he's not pissed at me anymore.

We ordered our food . I ordered mac n' cheese . I know it's probably not as fancy as what everyone else ordered, but it's my fav but they use premium Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and the bacon is always cooked the way I like it. No regrets.
