XXV. Ceiling Incident

Piper's POV:

A day at the park sounds nice, and that's precisely what we did that weekend.

I watched as the guys kicked the soccer ball around with the kids.

"I got it!" Vinny shouted. He kicked the ball towards Stacey. Stacey stopped the ball, then grabbed it and ran towards the goal.

"Stacey!" Lizzie screamed. "For the last time! You're not supposed to run with the ball!"

Stacey stops midway and drops the ball. She rubs the dirt onto her shorts and gets ready to kick the ball. Josh rushed towards her and kicked it to the other side.

"Josh! I was going to kick that!"

"Hailey!" He ignored Stacey, "Did you see me? Did you see how far I kicked the ball?!"

Hailey clapped rigorously, "Go, Josh!"

Josh smiled wildly.

Ah, young love.

"It barely passed the tree!" Crystal shouted.

Ah, Crystal.

Josh glared at Crystal.

"Eyes on the goal, bud!" Matt screamed.

Caleb rushed towards the soccer ball, "I got it, dad! I got it!"

When Caleb is a foot away, Hayden kicks the ball.

"Hey!" Caleb shouted.

Hayden said something to Caleb.

"Hayden!" Todd screamed. "Let your cousin kick the ball!"

"But, he's not on our team!" Hayden protested. "Plus, he takes too long! Why can't I go with Walter and Arden to our friend's house?"

"Maybe next time you think twice before breaking the vase and lying about it!" Amanda screamed.

Hayden kicked the dirt.

Yesterday, Hayden did karate chops around the house and accidentally knocked over the vase. He didn't get punished for breaking the vase. He got in trouble for lying about breaking it. He tried to blame it on his brothers, but they have cameras in the house.

I watched as Dustin scrambled towards the ball with Theo. Together, they lifted their legs and kicked the ball.

The ball barely budge.

They tried to kick the ball again but fell on the grass.

They cried.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Matt said. "Let's try it again." He lifted Theo while Jackson lifted Dustin.

Theo wipes off his tears then kicks the soccer ball towards Dustin.

When the ball reached Dustin, he turned his head.

Jackson points at the ball.

Dustin shook his head and pressed his body further into Jackson's chest.

Jackson said something.

Dustin only responds with: "Gyah! No!" Then, he blew a raspberry at Jackson's face.

Jackson tried to stand up.

Dustin clung to his shirt.

I watch as Dustin hangs from Jackson's clothes with his questionable strength.

I stood up, "Dustin! Let go of Jackson!"

Dustin looks at me, "No!"

I stomp towards the center of the field. "Dustin!"
