Next Day
"Come on kids hurry up so you don't get late for school."
"Yes mom," Stacey and Jayden yelled coming downstairs.
"Jayden you'll have to leave early, you know your school is a bit far from here."
"Are you okay Mom? Stacey and Jayden asked.
"Yeah, I just have a slight headache but I'll be...." Mrs Owens said but was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.
"I'll go have a look," Stacey said walking towards the door.
She opened the door and met Mason smiling.
"Good morning babe," He smiled pecking her cheeks.
"Mason!" Stacey called hugging him.
"How are you?" She asked
"I'm fine, you?"
"I'm good, can I come in?"
"I'm sorry Stacey said rushing her words. I was just so happy and surprised to see you, please come in. Stacey smiled."
"Good morning mom." Mason greeted hugging Mrs Owens.
"How are you darling?"
"I'm fine thank you mom."
"Hey bro." Mason smiled hug
JaydenI shouldn't have left in anger, I was so rude to mom. How will she be all by herself when she isn't feeling well? I thought to myself. I should do something, I dialed Aunt's Belinda, she picked up after the second ring."Good morning Aunt.""Morning, Jayden how are you?""I'm fine Aunt, please I need a favour.""Okay, what can I do for you?""Aunt, please can you go over to my Mom, she isn't feeling well and she's at home all by herself.""Ok, I'll be on my way." She rushed her words and hang up.Crikey! Aunt Brenda didn't even let me finish, she cares a lot about me, I smiled driving into the school's parking lot. I'll have to apologize to Mom, Stacey and Mason once I get home. The History teacher was already in the class when I walked in. I'm glad she's one of the nicest teachers else I would be scolded for coming late to school."Good morning ma'am." I greeted."Morning Jayden you are late."
Stacey"I would love to come home with you so I can see your Mom," Adriel said to me."Okay, she'll be so happy to see you.""Addie, we'll go to Stacey's house in my car once I've picked up Reese from school.""Why don't we all go to pick Reese up? I'll come with Mason while Adriel goes with you." I said"I'm ok with that." Mason smiled."Yeah me too." Finn agreed.We all looked at Adriel to hear what she has to say about it."Or, Finn you can just give me your car keys, I'll drive myself and Stacey while you go with Mason in his car.""That's a good idea, I smiled while Adriel winked at me. I knew she was pulling their legs.Mason and Finn frowned before they spoke up."That's a bad idea Adriel," Mason said. "I wasn't expecting such a wacky idea, I've always known Stace to be the one with ideas which always flops but you. If it was from Stacey I wouldn't be so disappointed."I widened my eyes in s
"Jayden," His mom called smiling. "Did you apologize to her?" She asked."Who? Oh, you mean Cheyenne." Jayden frowned."Oh goodness, Mom didn't say who and you know she's talking about her, seems you two share a special kind of relationship, she has such a beautiful name 'Cheyenne', Mom, don't you think?" Stacey grinned."Yeah, it appears Jayden likes her a lot. Right son?" Mom smiled staring at him.Jayden's scoffed in disdain. "Like her, no way, she's so arrogant and mannerless.""The look on your face, it seems like you had another encounter with her." Stacey chuckled."I never knew you read faces," Jayden said sarcastically. "If you and Mom think am gonna say anything to you, you are wrong, I'm not gonna make ch a silly mistake because you all taunted me when I told you what happened the last time." He glared at them."It's just like the movies, where the guy who is so proud and has girls flocking around him, meets this brave
Stacey"Come on kids let's go." Mom said we were ready to go to the McGrath's residence( Mason's house ), mom wants it to be a surprise. "Yes mom, you and Jayden can go wait for me in the car. I left my phone upstairs, I want to go get it." "Ok Princess, we'll be waiting." Mom said. "Make it snappy little girl." Jayden chuckled which made me glare at him playfully before running off to my room. I was about to pick up my phone from the bed when it rang, the call was from an unknown number, I picked it up. "Hello." A voice said from the other end, the voice sounded familiar. "It's me, Stacey, your Dad." "Dad! I said surprised." "Yes, it's me, Owens." He was quiet for a while before he spoke up again. "I'm sorry Stacey, please forgive me." "It's fine, I have forgiven you, Dad." I sighed. "How have you been?" "I'm not okay, I miss you all, it's sad being without my family but this iswhat I des
Stacey"Finally." We both said at the same time, which made us burst out laughing. "I missed you, I mean you were right here and I didn't even get a chance to speak with you all because of the crazy Aunts I've got." He frowned. "Come on, we can talk now, I tried all I could to leave their presence but it failed until Jayden came in.""Speaking of Jayden where is he?" "He's still in there, he's probably gonna kill me when he comes out," I mumbled. "Why? Why would he do that?" "When he came into the room, he tried to make a way, so I could leave but Aunt Riley and Aunt Jane didn't buy any of it, so he told me to say something, I got nervous and blurted out rubbish." "You told them he has a girlfriend right?" "Yeah, but how did you know?" I asked surprised. "I kind of figured it out, you say crazy things when you are nervous." "No, I don't." I countered which made Mason laugh. "I kind of do," I mu
Violet's phone rang, she checked the caller and it was Rylee calling, she, smiled as she picked up. "Hey, girl." "How are you, Violet?" Rylee asked. "Well, bored. I was thinking of calling you but you beat me to it." Violet laughed. "Really." She laughed. "You are bored, why don't we hang out together? Get ready, meet me at Joggs coffee shop." "That will be great, don't keep me waiting okay," Violet told her. "I won't trust me." She muttered. StaceyStacey Mason is here, I heard Jayden yell from downstairs. He came just in time, I just finished getting ready. We'll be going to Mason's house then to the hospital. Chelsey will be discharged today, when we told Dad about him taking her to her new home he was also having the same thought. He told I and Mason that we would be going with him. I rushed downstairs, Mason was seated on the couch he looked so handsome, he was putting on a white t-shirt, black pants, white snea
VioletI hope Rylee is okay, she didn't show up at the coffee shop and she hasn't called me, I should call Kyle, he might know her whereabouts. I was about to put a call to Kyle when my phone rang, I picked it up. It was Rylee calling. "Rylee are you okay? Is everything fine?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm so sorry I didn't show up. Kyle came over to the house and we were watching a movie, It slipped my mind that we had to meet at the coffee shop, I'm sorry." "Seriously Rylee, I was worried I thought something was wrong. You couldn't even call?" "I ran out of battery and when I remember it was just a few minutes, I saw your voicemail. I'm so sorry, how was it?" "How did you expect it to be after ditching me for your boyfriend, what a nice best friend I've got." "I'm so sorry Violet, I'll make it up to you, how was it? "Well, I met a guy?" "Really, is he handsome? How's he like? What did he say to you?" She asked no
Next Day.ChelseyThe blaring sound of the alarm woke me up, Scarlett insisted I slept in her room since it was my first day in the house. Everyone tried to talk me into resuming school tomorrow instead of today, they feel I should rest for a day but I assured them I'll be fine, I really wanna resume school."Scarlett," I called tapping her lightly."What's it? Leave me alone I wanna sleep." She mumbled dragging the duvet over her head. She something else I smiled."It's morning, you're gonna be late for school if you don't get up now.""You are having a hard time waking her up right?" Mom asked walking into the room."Good morning mom." I greeted."Morning sweetie, how was your night?" She asked wrapping her hands around me."It was fine." I smiled.Chelsey stretched, getting up from the bed. She finally woke up."Good morning Chelsey, morning mom." She said hugging us."Chelsey you have to get
Years later STACEY"Welcome sweeties, how was school?" I asked hugging the kids. "School was great except that Brendon bugged me all day," Glyndon whined."It's the other way round, she's the mischievous one." Brendon chuckled. "See mom, why does he have to be so annoying?" Glyndon complained. "I don't see Ryan anywhere," I mumbled my eyes looking around. "Oh, his teacher said that his grandma picked him up already," Brendon told me. "Hey, honey." Mason kissed my cheeks. "Welcome, Brendon said mom picked Ryan up from school," I muttered. "Yeah, that was what the teacher told me when I went to pick him up but I'm surprised Mom didn't inform any of us." He mumbled confusedly. "Is it my mom or your Mom?" I asked worriedly. "I'll give your Mom a call you call my Mom ok," Mason mumbled. "What did my mom say?" I asked Mason after I was done talking to his mom. "She said she didn't pick him up," Mason said. "What did my Mom say?" He asked."She said the same thing, oh my goodness
Sleepover."Everyone is here, I wonder what's taking Blake, Scarlett and Chelsey so long, he said he was on his way," Violet muttered pacing around the room."Are you worried about them or Blake?" Adriel teased"Adriel!" I called glaring at her."I was just saying." She mumbled smiling."You should stay calm, he would be here with Chelsey and Scarlett anytime soon." I smiled walking to her"Yes, you are being a baby now, you spoke to him a few minutes ago." Rylee chuckled making Violet roll her eyes at her."I don't blame her, she's in love so I understand," Camilla mumbled a blush formed on her cheeks"Speaking of love, you understand how is that? You are in love as well?" Adriel asked staring at her.Camilla didn't get a chance to answer because the doorbell rang."It might be Blake, I'll go have a look." Violet grinned running to the door.We walked behind her. When she opened the door, it was indeed Bla
Days later... Stacey"Stacey, I have a suggestion." A gigantic grin spread across Adriel's face, and her eyes lit up...I hope she isn't planning any mischief. "What suggestion?" I asked staring at her.."Since we'll be the only ones at home this weekend, why don't we have a sleepover, like a girls night. We can invite our close friends to come over." She mumbled holding my hand."That's a good idea but we need to take permission and inform Mason, Jayden and Finn about it." I smiled..."We have to invite Cheyenne, there might be a chance of her and Jayden becoming friends, what do you say?"." I agree with you, it will be great but Jayden wouldn't let us invite her." My smile faded into a frown."Don't get worried over little things." Adriel smirked, "Do we ever ask his permission? Even if we do we never take no for an answer.""Well, that's true." I chortled."We have to begin with the preparations once we
Party time.Turns out Blake is the guy Violet has been talking about."You two know each other?" Jayden and Chelsey asked surprised."Yes, we met at a coffee shop Weeks ago," Violet told us."Blake you mean she's the girl you've always been talking about," Scarlett asked."This is good, finally we won't be bugged about this cute guy she met at a coffee shop that she can't stop talking about." Jayden teased.Violet head was bent, her cheeks turned red, can't believe violet can be this shy."This is amazing, you finally found her. We knew her along but we had no idea she was the one you've been looking for." Chelsey sighed."We should go check on other things," I said to the others."But everything is set." They countered."Let's give them time to talk," I whispered.They nodded in agreement, we walked away leaving Blake and Violet behind."Why did you have to make us leave?" Adriel whined.
StaceyToday is Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. Almost everything has been put in place, ready for the dinner party the decorators did a beautiful job, just a few more things to do. Mom and Dad are so excited about today, everyone is in a good mood. Aunt Jane and Riley came here right after the church service."Stace, we haven't even had time to talk." Mason stopped me when I was about to go into the kitchen."Mason we've been talking ever since, we can talk later, I have to help out in the kitchen.""I can help you out so you can finish early and then we have enough time to spend together," Mason suggested."I would have agreed but you know, you and Jayden have been banned from coming into that kitchen till we are done doing what we have to." I smiled."I know but isn't that unfair of Aunt Riley, we apologized but still got kicked out.""I warned you two when you were being mischievous but you guys never listened, you'll just have t
We arrived at the McGrath's, the residence was beautifully decorated, there was still about forty minutes before the party starts. Mrs Liv and Mr MrGrath looked so elegant. Mrs Liv was clad in a black and silver mermaid gown and silver heels. Mr MrGrath also had a black and silver tuxedo on and black shoes. We said our pleasantries, handed our presents to Mr & Mrs McGrath, soon mom, Dad, Finn's and Mason's sat down having a discussion, they seemed so engrossed and happy about all they were saying."Aunt Jane is there anything we can help you out with?" I and Adriel asked."Not really, even if there is I'm not letting you girls ruin your beautiful dresses, I'll be upstairs, call me if you need anything." Aunt Jane muttered before walking away.The guests were yet to arrive, the tables were set and the whole place lit up beautifully. The decoration was glamorous as well."Aren't you going to see Mason?" Adriel asked."Aunt Jane said he's getting
While they were eating, Mason's parents walked in, they had huge smiles on their faces when they saw them."Wow, it's so delightful seeing you all here." Mr and Mrs McGrath smiled"Welcome." They all said."Thank you and how are you all? Your parents?" Mr and Mrs McGrath asked."We all are fine our parents as well." They responded."You should join us." Aunt Riley said."Thanks but that won't be necessary, we had something to eat while we were out." Mr McGrath uttered."Luke, I'm glad to see you having lunch with everyone but I'm sad it's without us, you would always decline when I asked you to join us." Mrs McGrath smiled."I'm sorry." Uncle Luke muttered."Don't be, seeing you here is wonderful. Whoever was able to convince you deserves an award." Mrs McGrath said."Yeah, Aunt Riley really does. I was surprised she was able to convince uncle, Luke." Stacey said."Riley did?" Mrs McGrath asked surprised.
School had just closed, I, Mason, Finn and Adriel were all waiting for Scarlett and Chelsey at the parking lot."Where are Scarlett and Chelsey?" Mason asked."They'll be here soon, how do you think we all should go?" I asked"Why won't they just take a cab to the house? Do they have to come with us?" Mason asked frowning."Come on Mason, be nice, there is enough space in the car for them to come along or if you feel uncomfortable you can drive with Finn in his car, then I, Chelsey, Adriel and Scarlett will go in your car?"Mason chuckled"Who would be driving the car? Definitely not you right?""Don't worry about that, I'll drive." Adriel said smiling."I'm relieved now." Mason sighed."Are you sure Adriel should drive?" Finn asked."Don't worry Finn, I'll be fine, I'm not a kid," Adriel said glancing at me."Fine, please drive carefully," Finn said holding Adriel's hand."I will,
Chelsey had it in mind to visit Carter's residence after school but she needed to inform her parents before doing so, they had just finished having breakfast and Chelsey decided to ask for her mom's permission, her dad had left for the office already."Mom, I would love to visit Mason's house after school, it's been a while since I've gone there." She mumbled."You can go, send our regards to the McGrath's, but how do you plan to get there?" Her mom asked."I was thinking of going there with Stacey," Chelsey replied."That will be fine." Mom smiled."So it means, I'll be stuck with Blake in this house after school." Scarlett sighed."You can come along if you want." Chelsey offered."I'll be happy to do so, thank you." Scarlett smiled."We'll be on our way now, bye mom." Chelsey and Scarlett hugged their mom before going out.They met Blake standing beside the car, he smiled on seeing them."Finally you girls
