Setting Ourselves Up

Birthdays and panic attacks

It's been a week since our little shopping trip ,which the boys completely ruined .Like you can't have the same gossip and fun with boys around.duh!that's a fact.
Plus ,it was even worse cause our "gossip " includes talking shit about the same two boys who tagged us along in our trip. But putting that aside we actually ended up having some fun i guess ,at least Av enjoyed herself,that's all that matters.
Today is all about her and her happiness.

"I look terrible"!-Av,s grumpy voice interrupts my reading ,as i now place my bookmark on the page i was reading and set the book down on her kitchen table.Av's house has this comforting vibe to it that I can't really explain.I don't know if it's the very radiant bright colours that her mother filled everything around here or if it's just her and her peeps that make this place feel so warm. I grab the photograph that sits next to the vase of flowers her mom had put out on the table and stare at the picture.Av's family is filled by seven members.On the left leaning on the tree of their backyard ,standing behind his entire family is Drew ,her oldest brother,next to him grinnig like an idiot stands her second oldest brother Garret who's basically throwing their family cat Lacy on Drew's face which explains Drew's angry expression .In the middle stands her dad Joe who has the softest expression on his face ,next to him is her gorgeous mother Charlotte and on her right ,an arm around his mother stands Julian ,Av's younger brother .And of course being the drama queen she is there stands Av in the middle in front of her mother whith her arms wide open and a huge smile on her face while Julian has two fingers up over her head.The seventh memeber of her family is her grandma who lives with them which according to Av causes all the fights between her parents about affording her stay here.I smile at the picture.Av alaways said she cried after seeing this photo for the first time cause she didn't notice Julian ruining her amazing "pose" .God i love this girl.

"Shut up Curly you look great"-Drew ,her oldest brother strolls in ,leaning on the kitchen counter ,a can of coke in his hand.
I've always had a teeny tiny crush on Drew and everyone in this household basically knew about it.How could i not?Dude's a six feet ,tan ,gorgeous skin ,brown eyed handsome guy with an even gorgeous personality.I think the first reason why i even had a silly crush on him as a kid was his kindness.

I remember one time ,Av accidentally spilled all the drama about was happening to me at school to him and Drew didn't hesitate to give James a little "warning " as he called it next day at school.All i know is that James didn't say shit for about two weeks after that. Ever since then i would joke about how he was my hero .What can i say ?i was twelve and reading WAYY too many fanfics.And yes ,yes i have had a fanfic phase.The most interesting and cool people did duh!

God i love these people .I still remember Julians "mastermind "plan about gathering all his brothers and "jumping "James after school for the shit he would say about me .Even if Julian was one year younger than us the rumours and gossip got to his grade too.I remember how mad he looked at linch break when we would meet up with him.I still laugh whenever I remember the "glares "he would send in James's way.Of course being the prick he is James would only smile ,wink and do a stupid little wave at him which got Julian even more mad .

Julian always struggled a lot with his anger issues.At first Joe and Charlotte thought he was just blowing off a little steam or that being sent to our school principals office for beating up his fellow students almost everyday was "normal "but it got to the point where they decided he actually needed help.

He comes back from his meeting a little later to celebrate with us .

"Shut up you prick "Av smacks her brothers head ,ignoring the fact she had to stand on her tiptoes to do it.

He rubs the spot she hit and smiles
"you wound me sister "-he places a hand on his heart
"Physically and emotionally "

I can't hold back my snicker ,which makes Drew's attention snap to me.
"When did you get here ,Springs?"-he chuckles as he walks over to me and rubs my hair in affection.
