Did I say I was going to play the game with Luke? Well that didn't happen. Luke tried to teach me; to say I sucked was a major understatement! I ended up intensely watching Luke play, which we both found fun!

However, the fun really started when he put in Guitar Hero. I won't lie, I was touched when he remembered I loved the game! We stayed up for hours battling each other and rocking out. We even came up with some stupid band name.

By we I mean me, and by stupid I mean amazing!

The Storming Hemorrhoids!

Luke hated it, but I thought it was clever! I'm a storm, he's a Hemmings, and he's a giant pain in my ass! It was perfect!

At some point we switched from video games to movies. We got popcorn, blankets, pillows, and changed into more comfy clothes. That was the last thing I remembered.

"Kaytlin wake up," Luke shook me.

"No," I grumbled, snuggling into my pillow: my oddly firm pillow.

"I have to piss," Luke groaned.

"You're a big boy Luke. You can go pee by yourself," I rolled over.

"Get off me and I will," when he said that I actually woke up. The momentum I used to sit up knocked me off the couch! "Good morning to you too," Luke laughed at me.

"Shit! When did I fall asleep? What time is it?" I rubbed my forehead.

"Don't know and don't know," Luke went to the bathroom and left me on the floor.

I stared at the couch we were just laying on. What the hell did I do? We fell asleep watching a movie! Everyone does that, it's not weird, and there's no reason to freak out.

I got up and shuffled to the kitchen. My back was stiff, but I assumed that was from sleeping on the couch or on Luke apparently.

"It's alive!" Connor yelled from the couch.

"Don't offend it! Maybe it'll make us chicken nuggets," Bradly gave me a cheeky smile.

"Make your own nuggets," I fixed myself a glass of water.

"Someone's making nuggets?" Jack walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah! Kaytlin," Connor answered.

"I'm not making you fools anything," I rolled my eyes.

"Tread lightly Jack. She's grumpy," I grabbed a spoon and threw it at Bradly.
"Hey!" He yelped.

"So no nuggets?" Ben poked his head out of the laundry room.

"I'll make the Hemmings nuggets," I smiled at the two boys.

"Trader!" Connor shook his fist in the sky. I flipped him off.

"Where's dad?" I asked openly for anyone to answer.

"Him and mom ran off in the middle of the night. They left everything to me and Ben, so you guys have to start paying rent!" Bradly jokes, "what should we charge, Ben?"
