Game On

Chapter 3

"that felt like the longest flight in the world" I complain my back is so sower the seats were so uncomfortable

"well its another hour till we will be getting to the house" Carson laughs

"this is not a laughing matter, I really think my back is broken" I respond, okay maybe I was being a little dramatic but it really hurt

"yea okay buddy" he laughs

we all sit down at a bench waiting for our taxi "okay you two, we need to talk." Dad says in a serious tone, honestly I haven't heard him use this tone since the divorce

"Carson it might be hard for Taylor in school to meet friends, so I want you to introduce her to all yo-"

"all your friends, I know you've told me like a thousand times" Carson interrupts rolling his eyes

"Dad ill be fine" I lie im actually so scared, I don't think I can meet anyone that will even match up to Peyton and Maddi

...

I fell asleep for most of the taxi ride but woke up for the last nine minutes, when we pulled in the driveway to the house I totally forgot, my dad was a lot richer than my mom and when I use to visit we would go to the summer house so i've never been to this house, while my dad had two houses my mom could barely pay for one that's one thing I really hated my mom deserved a better life then what she got.

"we're home" Carson whispers to me I just look at him with a blank expression, to me this isn't my home, my home is in Maine with all my friends.

"Carson come on help me with the bags" dad says

I got out of the car to grab my suitcase, most of my stuff won't get here for another two days

"don't worry I got it" dad says smiling "Carson show your sister around the house"

"alright let me put this is my room first"

...

After the tour he saved my room for last, it was in a long hallway with my dads at the end, Carsons room to the right of mine, and two other guest rooms, im not so sure why he has so many rooms "why is there so many rooms if it was just the two of you?" I question

"well if some of the boys from the soccer team party too hard and don't want to go home to get yelled at, they will just stay here" he responds something about his face seems like he doesn't approve

"and you like them staying here?" I ask

"yea I do but now your here I don't want them to stay over anymore, but its not my house so I can't keep them away" he says with a gentle expression and shrugging his shoulders I forgot how protective he is

"it'll be okay I can protect myself" I say laughing and gently pushing his shoulder

he opens the door of my room it was probably the size of the kitchen in the house me and mom stayed in "here's your room" he smiles

"wow. this. is. huge!"

"its one of the biggest in the house and you have your own bathroom"

they already had a bed in there but that was the only thing in the room, I couldn't wait to unpack my stuff, I peek my head in the bathroom it was really nice

"hey the team is coming over for dinner later and I want to introduce you to my girlfriend" he says smiling

"girlfriend" that was the first time I've heard him mention her

"well whats her name" my brother doesn't really date or he just doesn't tell me

"her name's Chloe, I think you guys would be really good friends" he says
