THE BOY NEXT DOOR

THUNDERSTORM & POWER OUTAGE

Aimee's POV
When we got home last night we stayed up all night unpacking. I just finished unpacking my last box. We took a break and went to bed.

Anyways, after I changed I walked downstairs. "Hey Aimee. I'm getting ready to go to work. Connors in charge so behave" she says, and I smiled.

"Bla bla bla. Bye" I say, giving her a kiss and with that she walked out. I hop to the kitchen excitedly. "Hey Connor. Was mom acting weird last night at the neighbors. She sounded like knew them or something and not to mention but Ross thought he knew me too" I say, opening the refrigerator.

"I actually did notice that she was acting weird. Ross thought I looked familiar too. It wasn't only him though. Riker thought he knew me too" he says. I grabbed the orange juice and closed the refrigerator door.

"Do you think she's keeping something from us?" I asked, pouring my orange juice into my glass. "I'm not sure but if she is we should mind our own business. I'm sure she'll tell us" He says. I nod agreeing taking a sip out of my glass.

My phone goes off and I look to see that Rydel texted me. We all exchanged numbers including Stormie and Mark.

"Do you and Connor wanna come over?"

"Hey Connor. Wanna go over next door?" I asked, and he nods.

"Sure. Be there in a sec" I texted back. I put my phone in my pocket and put my cup in the sink. I go by the door way and slip my pink converse on.

"Lets go!" I say.

We run outside and next door. I knocked on the door and shortly after Rydel answer. "You don't have to knock" she laughs, pulling us inside. "It's kind of windy out and the sky doesn't look pretty at all" I say, slipping my converses off.

"Oh yea. We got a hurricane warning. We're suppose to get a really bad thunderstorm" Stormie says, as we walked into the kitchen.

"Great. And my mom is out working"

"Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be okay" Mark says, and I nod. I hear the boys screaming. "I'm guessing they're playing the Xbox" I say, giggling.

She smiled leading us into the living room where the boys were playing a game. "What's up bro" Ratliff says, doing a handshake with Connor.

I smiled and Rydel looks at me. "Lets go upstairs" she says, grabbing my hand. She pulled me upstairs to her room and I laughed.

She locks the door and we sit on her bed. "Sooooo" Rydel says, and I let out a awkward laugh. "I have no idea what to talk about"

"So, where's your dad?" She asked, and I looked down. "I don't know"

"You don't know"

"No. My mom won't tell me what happened" I say. "Does Connor know? Maybe try asking him" She suggested and I quickly shook my head.

"He won't tell me either"

"I'm sure they'll tell you at some point" she says. I just shrugged. After we talked for a little longer it started to rain super bad and there was lightning and thunder.

Me and Rydel walked down the stairs just as the power flickered off. I scream in fear and me and Rydel just burst out laughing. "Awe. Is Aimee scare? I'll protect you" Ross says, wrapping his arms around me.

I looked over at Rydel with a "get him off of me" face. She rolls her eyes eventually getting Ross off of me. My phone starts ringing to see my mom is calling me.

I answered it immediately. "Hey Aimee! Are you and Connor okay?!"

"Yea. We just lost power but we're at Stormie's and Marks"

"Thank god you two aren't alone. I'm sorry but we're going to be stuck at work. There was an accident and the roads are closed because of how bad we're suppose to get it"

"Is that your mom? Can I talk to her?" Stormie asked, holding her hand out. "Mom, I'm putting Stormie on the phone. She wants to talk to you" I say, handing over my phone to Stormie.

"Lets go get some flashlights and candles!" Rydel says, and she leads me down into the basement. We found a few flashlights and candles.

We walked back upstairs to everyone and we light the candles. "Thanks girls" Stormie says, handing me my phone back. We give her a smile as she walked into the kitchen.
