After changing, Connie flopped onto her bed starring at the roof.
"What am I going to tell my parents? There's no way they'll get me a new phone…" She muttered running her fingers through her tangled wet hair.
After changing, Connie flopped onto her bed starring at the roof.
"What am I going to tell my parents? There's no way they'll get me a new phone…" She muttered running her fingers through her tangled wet hair.
She went upstairs and grabbed a plastic box, some markers and a big sheet of white paper. She wrote the word belongings on the paper and decorated the paper so it looked more. . beautiful. She quickly went back downstairs and grabbed Connie’s belongings and went back upstairs. She put the belongings onto the plastic box and taped the paper onto the box. She put the lid of the box on and took a step back to look at her work. “Not bad, Emma. Not bad.”
Connie felt stressed. It consumed her as she lay trying to think of some way out of her problem.
She also thought about the unfinished art. That bugged her beyond reason. But she wasn't about to go back and be an idiot. Right?
She sighed as she heard a crash downstairs. Emma made a huge mistake leaving Jackson and Amaya alone. She ran downstairs and looked at the huge mess the both had made. “Right, if you don’t want to act your age, I’ll have to treat you like a kindergarten. Time out corner, now!”
"No!" They both whined, pleadingly. "Please, we won't do it again!"
The two pouted, trying to look too cute to punish.
Emma rolled her eyes and huffed. “Well, then. If you don’t want me to treat you like kindergartens, can you at least start cleaning up the living room? Because, I don’t want it to be a humongous mess.”
The two looked to the floor, and slowly started picking things up. "Sorry Emma…" Amaya apologized softly gathering some of the scattered content. Jackson didn't say a word as he picked up the living room.
Emma took out her phone and quickly made a call. She waited until the person on the other end picked up on the phone. “Oh, Hi mom! Oh, you wanna know how Jackson and Amaya have been doing?” She paused and then frowned. “Right. Mhm. Yes, I’m aware they’re troublemakers.” She sighed and waited until her mother was done talking.
The two picked up their cleaning pace, before looking at Emma. Their eyes were filled with tears, and they looked legitimately sorry. But they weren't going to say anything, it was too late. Emma had called, and there was nothing they could do.
“Look, mom. . “ She paused and looked at Jackson and Amaya. She saw the tears in their eyes and sighed. “They’re doing great. They haven’t fight or made any messes. They’ve been on their best behavior, so you don’t have to worry about them. Yes, mom, okay, well, uh I gotta go. Love ya.” With that, she hung up, sighed and sat down on the couch.
The two were in shock. "Emma? Why'd you lie to mom?!" Jackson asked rather surprised at this. Amaya was just as surprised. "Yeah! Why'd you do that!?"
“Well, for starters, mom would’ve grounded you two until you two reach eighteen. She wouldn’t let you go anywhere expect school. Hm, she would take all your privileges away, you wouldn’t be able to eat the sweets the both of you like so much and you wouldn’t be able to watch the cartoon, shows, movies you two want to see. So, I just saved both of your social life. You can thank me later.”
The two were still confused, a frown on their faces. "But, you didn't have to. So why?" Jackson asked again, setting an empty mug on the coffee table. Amaya was on the floor picking up some beads she had spilled, trying to listen to Emma's response.
“I’m not good at explaining things.” She groaned and then sighed. “Well, as much trouble you may do, you two are my siblings. Making trouble is. . well something the both of you do. Making is trouble is you. It’s scary not seeing you two do anything that can get you into trouble.”
The two smiled softly and stopped what they were doing. They ran over to her and tackled he in hugs. “Thank you Emma!” Amaya grinned hugging her tight.
Emma smiled as she was tackled with hugs, but then she immediately frowned. She was happy that they were happy, but they were hugging her a bit to tight.
“Y-You’re crushing me!”
The two giggled and loosened their hold. “Sorry!” They both chirped in tune. “Thank you though!” Jackson grinned wanting to hug her tight again.
“You don’t have to thank me, you should thank. . wait, actually, you do have to thank me. Well, then. If you two want to hug me again, you may do so. But please do not crush me. I felt like i wasn’t going to be able to move again.”
The two laughed, hugging her again. Though not near as tight. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They both shouted holding onto her tightly.
“You’re welcome, you little trouble makers. Now, that both of you are behaving, how wants to have some fun? Tell me, where do you want to go? Arcade, Movies, Shopping, Amusement Park?” Emma said quite happily and chuckled to herself.
The two grinned, eager at the fact she was letting them go out and do things. "The Amusement Park!" Jackson said excitedly, grabbing Emma's arm. "Please oh please! Let's go before it gets dark!" Amaya giggled also pulling Emma to the door.
“Alright, Alright. Amusement park it is.” Emma grabbed the keys to the car before letting Jackson and Amaya drag her out of the house. Now, it was time for some family bonding time. Something she rarely had time for. She opened the back seat doors and waited until they two were inside and buckled up before going to her seat and starting the engine. A couple of seconds passed, and they were on their way to the Amusement Park.
Connie was bored. She wanted to go back out, so she did. "Bye Laura, I'm headed out for a bit!" She shouted as she ran out the door tying her shoes in the process. "Wait- Connie! Get back here!" Laura shouted after her walking out onto the porch barefoot. "Where do you think you're going young lady!?" Laura continued to shout, and Connie chuckled. "I'm going out! I told you!"
Emma chuckled when she saw the priceless expression on Jackson and Amaya’s face. It was like if the two had met their idol, frozen in place with an idiotic expression. She had to drag them to the entrance to buy the tickets, and she had to drag them into the actual Amusement park. She had picked a brochure on the way and looked at the map of the Amusement Park. She then gave the map to Amaya and Jackson. “Take a look, would ya.”
Connie was skipping down the side walk, her curls bouncing. She whistled aloud, waving at passerbys and recognizable faces. Never stopping to talk to any of them, just a friendly smile and wave to brighten their day. Connie decided she wanted to go do something adventures, so she went to grab her wallet and phone, but groaned when she didn't find them. "Right… I left them at her house…" She muttered rubbing her face.
Jackson and Amaya quickly took a look at the map, before giving it back to Emma. They had said they want to go to the tallest ride and fastest in the park, which happened to be a roller coaster named Xcelerator. So, that’s where they were heading, to the tallest and fastest ride in the amusement park.
Connie crossed her arms, slumping some as she walked. She noticed the amusement park, and sighed. "Man… wish I could go-" "Hey Connie!" A male voice said excitedly. She turned, looking to see Brett Taylor standing there. "Oh Brett! Hi! What are you doing here?" She asked with a gentle smile. "Just came for a walk, what about you?" Brett replied coming up beside her. "Same, I was bored." She shrugged. Brett caught a thought, pulling out his wallet leafing through his cash. "Wanna hang out at the amusement park?"
(This is going to get so interesting.)
Emma never really liked lines, but there wasn’t another option. It was either wait in line or not going on the ride, and she was sure her siblings wouldn’t forgive her if she just pulled them away. So, to pass the time, she took out her phone and started playing a game while her siblings just chatted with each other.
(Lol, yup. My point exactly.)
"Wait really?" Connie was surprised, she didn't really expect it from him. Once he had nodded, she grinned. "Yes that would be awesome!" So they did just that. He paid for tickets and they began to wander around the park together. "What ride first?" Brett asked wishing to take her hand. "Not sure… what about that?" She asked pointing to the set of large swings. "Sure, why not?"
After many years of waiting, they had finally boarded the roller coaster. The three of them were excited and Amaya couldn’t stop squealing. It was annoying Emma, and she was sure it was also annoying Jackson, but if it was, he knew to stay quiet rather to tell her to shut up. The ride started, and when they went down from a huge loop-the-loop, Amaya screamed with excitement.
