Chapter 19

                                    

                                          
We are pulling up to Rachel's house for a little party, so that the other parents can meet the boys. We quickly go over the plan and then get out of the car.
                          
"Oh girls", Mrs. Panning says coming out of the house," We are so happy your here."
                          
"Mom", Rachel says squirming as Mrs. Panning hugs us.
                          
"Emma", I hear. I turn around to see Mrs. Oliver rushing out of the house. She gives me a huge hug.
                          
"Mom", Kelsey says. Well now it's her turn to squirm. I smile back at Mrs. Oliver as the rest of the parents come out.
                          
"Would you like to introduce us", Melissa's mom, Mrs. Davis, asks.
                          
"This is my...", I start.
                          
"Sam", he interrupts. I elbow him and he messes up my hair
                          
"This is Jc, Kian, Ricky, Connor, and Trevor", I finish and they all shake the Dad's hands.
                          
"Well Emma", Chloe's mom, Mrs. Turner, says," Who is your mother figure", she says looking at the boys.
                          
"Andrea, Kian's girlfriend, Jen, who could be Jc's girlfriend if he asked her out", I say looking at him he picks me upside down and I scream," and McKenzie, Sam's girlfriend."
                          
Jc puts me down and Mrs. Panning asks if they are coming and I tell her they will be here soon. Right as I say that they pull up. They get out of the car and I can see all of my friends brother's jaws drop. I giggle because that was same reaction their sister's had when they saw the boys get out. Andrea and McKenzie walk up to Kian and Sam. Jen just kind of wanders and I grab her. I drag her over to Jc and stand her next to him. I roll my eyes when they blush and my friends laugh.
                          
"Anyways this is Dustin, Isaac, and Evan", I say pointing to the three tallest boys," They are Kelsey's brothers and that's Arianna her sister", I point to the blonde girl standing by Evan. All of Kelsey's siblings have her color blonde hair.
                          
"That's Seth and Cara, they are Chloe's older siblings, they are twins." I point to the twins that both have the dirty blonde hair that Chloe has.
                          
"That's Kenton, Carter, and Mary, they are Melissa's siblings", I point to Melissa's older siblings. They all share clear faces. No freckles, zits, or moles.
                          
"And then finally this is Rosie, Isaiah, and Peter, they are Rachel's older siblings", I point to the palest ones. They all have brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin.
                          
"All you friends have older sibling", Connor say in disbelief," There is another reason y'all get along so well. You're all the youngest." Everyone laughs and heads inside.
                          
All the kids are the last to go in and Isaac grabs my arm. "Do all of you live in the same house", he asks and I laugh.
                          
"Nope just me and the boys. Andrea and Jen are roommates and McKenzie lives with her friend in an apartment about 10 minutes from our house", I say and they still looked shock.
                          
"You live with 6 boys", Kenton yells. I nod and Kelsey grabs my hand leading me away.
                          
We all head up to Rachel's room with her dog Maggie. We sit on the ground and just talk about random things until we decide to prank the all their siblings.
                          
We set booby traps everywhere and then watch as they unfold. After a solid 30 minutes of pranking we get called down for dinner. We walk downstairs for dinner and make ourselves plates. The five of us sit next to each other at the table and everyone else sits down. We all eat normally having little side conversations before Connor gives us the signal.
                          
We all put down our silver ware and Rachel clears her throat. Everyone stops eating and looks at us.
                          
"We all want to make a collab channel", Kelsey says. Her brothers and sister laugh and she glares at them.
                          
"Well that's great honey. You guys can get together after school and do that everyday", Mrs. Oliver says taking a bite of salad.
                          
"Another thing", Melissa says and I push my food away from me.
                          
"We want to do online school, so that we can travel without needing to worry about school days", I say.
                          
Everyone drops their forks and the moms fold their hand on the table. All of the siblings are looking at us like we have seven eyes.
                          
"Out of the question", Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Davis say.
                          
"Well why not? It's not like they are dropping out of school", Mr. Oliver says and Mr. Panning agrees.
                          
"I do online school", Trevor says. They look at him. He looks down and I mentally slap him for being so weak.
                          
"Katy's parents are letting her and we asked her yesterday", Rachel says.
                          
"Yeah her parents thought it would be great. We would get to be together all day", Melissa says.
                          
"I think it would be great for the girls to travel and see the world doing something they love", Mr. Davis says and his wife glares at him.
                          
"Honestly Mom, I think it would be awesome for them if they got to go", Mary says standing behind us.
                          
The dads all stand behind us also. Kian, Andrea, McKenzie, and Sam ,get up and walk behind us. Jen and Jc look at each other and Jc grabs her hand as they walk behind us. Ricky, Trevor, and Connor get up and stand next to Kian, Andrea, Jenn, Jc, McKenzie, and Sam.
                          
"We would still live at home", Rachel says looking at the moms.
                          
"Mom I think you should let them", Rosie says standing up. Cara and Seth stand up followed by Dustin, Isaac, and Evan. Finally Arianna, Peter, Isaiah, Kenton, and Carter get up and follow standing behind us. We all look at the moms. It's 4 to everyone else, I think to myself.
                          
"I don't think it's a good idea", Mrs. Panning says.
                          
"Neither do I", Mrs. Davis says crossing her arms. I look at Mrs. Oliver.
                          
"What do you think Mrs. Oliver", I ask knowing she doesn't agree with them.
                          
"I think it would be a great experience for you girls", She says standing up. She stands up and then there were three.
                          
"You know what I give up. If you girls want to throw away your amazing education at St. B's that is your problem", Mrs. Turner says and I look at her with squinted eyes.
                          
"Oh yeah amazing education", I say rolling my eyes. Everyone looks at me," All that school is for us is painful memories. Some memories worse than others", I say my voice raising at the end. Someone puts their hand on my shoulder, but I don't bother look I just stare straight at the table before continuing," I spent 10 years with Paige at that school and every time I walk into the school it makes me want to bury myself under bricks. And I was kidnapped from there, so I remember that every time I walk past the dorms to get to class. It's like my old house, full of memories I'm trying my best to forget."
                          
"Emma", Rachel says side hugging me. I lean my head on her shoulder and look at the moms pleadingly.
                          
"Please. Just let us do this", I say looking at each of them.
                          
They all look at each other and then look back at us," Fine", they all say at once. We all stand up screaming.
                          
We jump in a circle and hug each other. I hug Sam and he spins me around. I go and hug Mrs. Turner, then Mrs. Oliver who laughs, then Mrs. Panning, and lastly Mrs. Davis. Andrea runs at me and I jump into her arms. The boys plus Andrea, Jenn, and McKenzie go into a huge group hug and slowly everyone else joins pushing all of us girls into the middle.
                          
At 10 we leave and decide that we will start the channel tomorrow at my house. I get in the drivers seat of Sam's car and Kian, Jc, Ricky, and Sam get in. Connor and Trevor go in the other car and Jen, McKenzie, and Andrea follow us in their cars. When get home I run inside and scream. Kalani and Samoa come sprinting from around the corner and jump on me. I lay down in the foyer and they lick me and I just laugh. Everyone comes in and I say goodnight and head upstairs with Kalani and Samoa. I take a shower and put on my pajamas. I jump into bed next to Kalani and Samoa and we cuddle up in the blankets and fall into a blissful darkness.
