THE BOY NEXT DOOR

FAMILY MOMENTS & DON'T LEAVE

Aimee's POV
"DINNER TIME!" My mom yelled, from the kitchen. "FOOD!" Ross yelled, running into the kitchen. I looked at Riker laughing.

"He's already making himself at home!" I laughed, walking into the kitchen. I looked what's on the plates and my eyes widened as I covered my ears.

"PANCAKES!" Ross yelled, as loud as he could. Of course I could still hear him no matter how much I covered my ears.

I laughed rolling my eyes, sitting down. April and Crystal quickly grabbed the seats next to me before neither of the boys could sit down. Ross looks at them pouting like a little baby.

"Excuse me?! I was going to sit there!" Riker complained to Crystal and I laughed. "I know!" Crystal says, giving him a goofy smile.

"Good job!" I whispered, secretly giving Crystal a high five. Riker gives me a death glare sitting next to my mom. I couldn't help but laugh. Ross just sat down pouting.

"Awe. Is wittle wossy upset?" I say, in a baby tone. He just gave me a look but then started shoving the pancakes in his mouth once my mom put the plate in front of him.

I rolled my eyes playfully as Crystal burst out laughing at Ross babyish attitude. "This is what you get for letting him stay here mom!" I laughed.

"That was a bad idea!" She whispered. I looked at Ross but he was too busy with his pancakes. "Daaaaaamn your pancakes are so good! Better than my moms!" He says, with food in his mouth.

"Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment!" Mom laughed.

We finished eating and the girls went in the living room. I looked at Bryan who was washing the dishes. "Move. I'll wash the dishes!" I say, pushing him out of the way.

"No!" He says, pushing me out of the way. "Besides shouldn't you be resting?" He says, continuing to wash the plate he was washing.

"Yea but I feel a lot better. To be honest, I don't think I'll ever do that again. I may be depressed but I'll get over it. You, Riker, and Ross all thought me that you shouldn't let someone bring you down. They just feel bad about themselves so they have to put others down and that's exactly what Rydel is doing. I may have messed up because I got drunk but they should get over it. Besides, as long I have my family, you, Riker and Ross, and even the girls I'll be completely fine" I say, and he smiled.

"Wow thanks!" Mom says sarcastic, laughing and I laughed. She said it sarcastically because I said that Bryan, Riker, and Ross taught me that you shouldn't let someone bring you down.

I laughed kissing my moms cheek. "But promise me something?" I asked, looking back at Bryan and he nods meaning to go on.

"Promise you won't ever leave me or my mom or even Connor?" I asked. "I promise" he smiled, kissing my cheek.

I smiled, turning around. "I'm glad you're okay" Connor says, hugging me. I smiled hugging back happily. "I wanna thank you guys the most though!" I say, walking over to Ross and Riker.

"For what?" Ross asked. "For not leaving me. For not turning against me like the rest of your family did. For staying by my side no matter how stupid I could be. Ross, you may have been mad at me but you got over it and your stayed by me. You guys helped me so much. You guys are probably the one person who actually understands me and I appreciate that!" I say. The had tears in their eyes and I laughed.

They hugged me tightly. "Can't. Breathe" I say, in between breaths. They laughed pulling away and we just goofed off.
