~SHORT BUT YOU'LL MANAGE! Anyways, I thought I'd post cause you've been waiting too long. You guys seriously need to vote, please it would mean aa lot anyways, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I DID NOT EDIT!

The drive home was silent and warm. Tori must of been tired from the screaming at the concert and walking in the mall because after five minutes, she dozed off. Taking her heavy sleeping as a sign, I turned on the radio and started singing lowly, but enough to fill the car with my voice.

I look up at the sky and see the dark clouds covering the sky. Ugh! Don't remind about the bad day I'm having, aside from the cold, there's rain to add today.

'Monday you sent me flowers
Tuesday made me feel stupid
Wednesday the world was ours
Thursday you didn't prove it
Friday fell back in love
Saturday we didn't talk
Sunday you said you needed space

Do you miss me? Am I crazy?
Am I losing hold of your love baby?
Either you want me or you don't
I need to know, I need to know

Who are you today?
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain?
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today?
'Cause I am still the same

Monday you had my heart
Tuesday you had me screaming
Wednesday we didn't part
Thursday you didn't mean it
Friday I shook it off
Saturday you got it wrong
Sunday I said I needed space

Do you miss me? Am I crazy?
Am I losing hold of your love baby?
Either you want me or you don't
I need to know, I need to know

Who are you today?
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain?
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today?
'Cause I am still the same

Who are you? Who are you?

It's so strange how the same thing
Can make you feel so right
And bring you so much pain.
It's so strange how the same face
Can you make you love until it hurts.
Where do we go? I need to know
Where do we go? I need to know

Who are you today?
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain?
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today?
'Cause I am still the same
The same'


I park in the driveway of the house and get out, rounding the car and opening the back door. Tori lies on the backseat, asleep, covered in the blanket I had in the trunk. I pull her out, hugging her legs with one arm and pushing her head over my shoulder with the other, making it look like I'm caring a baby. I really huge and long baby. I laugh at my own thought, grab the blanket and cover her. I close the back door of the car, lock all the doors, before carrying my little sister inside the house, closing the front door and going up to her room. The house has gotten colder since the last time I was here a few hours ago. Didn't Bryce turn up the heat?

After lying Tori on her bed, covering her with various blankets knowing she gets really cold like me, even if it's just a slight breeze, I go to my room. Changing from jeans and a long sleeve shirt, I put on plaid-print pajama bottoms I borrowed from Gabby's younger brother, and a sports bra with a Nike pullover on top. I place my clothes in the hamper and head to the bathroom to do my business. After that, I grab my slippers and trot downstairs to the kitchen to turn up the heat. I walk in to the kitchen, expecting to see Bryce on his computer but find a note.

'Went to pick up mom. Theres hot cocoa on the stove. Gwen and Max called. I'd call back. They seemed pretty excited :) moms credit card number is on the side just in case if they charge you for calling Ireland.
-Bryce'

My grandparents called? I haven't heard from them since... mum and dad. I smile excitedly, grabbing the house phone, and dialing the number written in the family's contacts Aunt Bobi has on the side of the phone. It rings a couple of times before an operator asks for a credit card number. I press the numbers in and the phone starts ringing again. After three rings, a bright, Irish and elderly voice speaks softly though the phone.

"Hello?" She speaks. I chuckle. "Hey Gamma!" I squeal excitedly. "Oh, me pumpkin. It's you!" She breathes in relief. I laugh. "Who did you think it was?" She laughs along with me and says, "I thought you were those tracking people. You know, the ones in those movies you kids see these days. Me heart was trembling. Nearly had me self a heart attack." I laugh heartily at my gamma's reaction. So good to hear from her after such hard months.

Wait, how does she know about the scary movies? My gamma never liked watching the Telly. Always thought it was a waste of brain cells. "Gamma? How do you know we watch those movies?" I curiously ask. She exclaims something to someone in the background, and speaks back at me. "Your Aunt Lottie and Uncle Edvard decide to take the'r early vacation to their honeymoon for their 20th anniversary and drove all the way out here to drop off your nine cousins." She says tiredly, dodging my question. I chuckle. "Triplets killing you yet?"

I hear boys yelling in the background and laugh. Of course Aunt Lottie and Uncle Edvard decided to leave Harry, Jaegar, Edvard, Francois, Elliot, Diamond, and the Triplets there. Harry is 18, Jaegar is 16, Edvard is 17, Francois is 15, Elliot 15, Diamond is 4, and the triplets are my age. Their names are Alexandrite, Aquamarine, Amethyst. Francois and Elliot are twins, and I know twins or triplets have some part in their names in common, and they might not, but they're all named after rare gemstones. Well the triplets are, I don't know about the twins. What can I say, my aunt is obsessed with rare gemstones, and apparently, sex too. She's 35 with nine kids, something's wrong there. Back to triplets, Alexandrite is the oldest by 10 minutes. They're five minutes apart. She was born first, followed by Aqua, and them Amy. But I'm older by 5 months. The only things us teens have in common is the span of the brain of a 7 year old, including Bryce.

Gamma keeps on arguing as I listen and laugh silently. "Gamma!" She keeps on arguing. "Gamma!"

"Sorry, love," says 'Pa, taking the phone from Gamma. I laugh. "It's alright, 'Pa. How are you?"

"I'm fine, love. And you? Bryce told me you've been doing great, aye?"

I laugh. "As a matter fact I have." I hear something break in the background and a chorus of 'uh-ohs'. "Hey, 'Pa? Can you pass me to Harry?" I ask politely. "Sure, love. Hold on," he mumbles. I hear 'Pa call for Harry, followed by shuffling, then mumbling, and then a annoying, yet heavy French slash English accent, speaks.

"Well hello, Monsieur Lesley." He says in his dumb voice. "We'll , hello Madame Harold Edward." I add his middle name just to get him even more pissed off. "Hey-"

"Just because I'm not a fluent French, doesn't mean I don't speak or understand it. Dad was a fluent, god bless him." I laugh sadly. "I actually like your name, it reminds me of Harry-"

"Styles from One Direction. I know." I laugh and shake my head. "Not just him, Prince Harry as well. They're both quite yummy."

"So I'm yummy too?"

"Yeah, sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night," I say. "Anyways, I need you to put Skype on so I can talk to all of you face to face. Gamma had something to tell me, according to Bryce."

"Oh yeah, Bryce. How is the bloke these days?"

I chuckle. "The lad is fine, now hang up and get on Skype." I say. "Yes M'Lord!" I can imagine him saluting as if I were a soldier, making me laugh. I hang up and run upstairs to get my laptop. I disconnect it, bringing the charger and go back downstairs, siting on the couch covering my legs with Tori's monster high blanket connecting the laptop in a nearby outlet. I quickly turn it on and get on Skype.

Harry requests a chat and I accept, as a screen appears and my Gamma and 'Pa appear with my cousins sitting on a leather couch. "Hello, we're One Direction." Say five of my idiot cousins. The girls break out laughing. "You guys are so immature."

They laugh. "We missed you too, Lesley!" Gamma and 'Pa laugh.

"So before we tell each other inappropriate words ," I pause moving my eyes towards my grandparents. My Gamma with her white-silver long curly hair, and 'Pa with his straight hair slightly long but not too long(A/N: imagine Aunt May and Uncle Ben from the first Spider-Man ever made. The one with Tobey Maguire), holding each others hands.

"Bryce said you guys had news for me!" I clap my hands excitedly. They laugh and nod. "Roberta asked me to come along for that road trip you guys are having for thanksgiving. I'll be arriving in two weeks with these little ones," she motions to my cousins. Me and the triplets squeal as the the doorbell rings.

"That's great, gamma! I'll be right back." I get up and walk to the door, not bothering to check who's outside because of my happiness to the news. I open it with a big smile, but like the wind, it was gone. Austin stands in front of me with pink tinted cheeks, flowers in his hand and his eyes slightly red. He's freezing. Must've been standing out here for a long time.

I clear my throat. "What are you doing here?" I scold him, not bothering with a welcome. He shivers at my voice and replies, "Can we talk?" He asks. I scoff. "I thought you were tired of me? You made that pretty clear." He shakes his head.

"I didn't mean what I said." I laugh. "I've heard that before."

"Please forgive m-"

"Lesley, darling?"

"Lesley!!!!!" Scream the triplets.

"Monsieur Lesley!" Screams Harry. Everyone laughs. "I'll be there in a minute," I yell over my shoulder. I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "I'm skyping with my grandparents and eight of my cousins. If you behave, I'll let you talk." He nods. "Alrighty then. There's a blanket in that closet and Bryce left hot cocoa in a pot on the stove. Get some If you'd like." I tell him. He nods and goes straight to the closet of blankets. Then to the kitchen. I close the door and go back to my computer.

"Sorry I took so long," I apologize. "It's alright, who was it?" Asks 'Pa. "One of my friends. You'll see. So..." I trail off. "You're coming for the thanksgiving trip?" I ask smiling.

"Ah, yes! I can't wait. I wanna explore more of Texas and get a break from this -13 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Ireland isn't doing ye old grandpa well." I laugh. I feel the seat next to me sink, and I look at Austin, who is covered in a blanket and has two cups of cocoa. Someone in the other room across the country squeal and I look at the triplets. They're mouths are open agape, and they're eyes are wide.

"Girls! Close your mouths! Don't want of them flies to get in ye mouth," say Gamma. I laugh and look at Austin, his eyes are wide in disbelief, and his head shifts to meet my eyes. "Your grandparents are across the world?!" He whisper yells as my cousins start squealing and yelling, 'Austin, I love you!'

I chuckle and shake my head. "Where do you think I get my accent?" I smirk. He hands me a cup of hot cocoa and I shiver with delight.

"Aye, Madame? Eyes on the screen and introduce yourself," says Harry, clearing his throat, calling Austin a woman. I look at the screen and see my grandparents with a dreamy look on their faces, the boys with a deathly glare on Austin, and the girls drooling. I clear my throat at the sudden awkwardness.

"Gamma, 'Pa, Harry, Jae, Eddie, Frank, Idiot, Alex, Aqua, Amy. This is Austin Mahone. Austin... These are my grandparents, and cousins," I introduce each and every one of them. Austin laughs. "Hey, it's Elliot, Lez!" Scolds Elliot. I chuckle. "I know. And Frank is Francois. I just don't like to call him that. Harry is Harold, Jae is Jaegar, and Eddie is Edvard." I correct myself.

"Hello." Says Austin shyly. Alex, Amy and Aqua 'aw' and I roll my eyes. "Don't mind the triplets, Godzilla. They're just drooling," I say. The triplets gasp. "Are those triplets?" He whispers. I nod.

"Jen! Don't call him that!" Scolds Aqua. I scoff. "He's my friend, not yours. Anyways... I'm so glad you guys are coming on the trip! I can't wait!" I clap excitedly.

"What trip?" Asks Austin. I shrug. "The one Aunt Bobi scheduled," I simply reply. He seems deep in thought for a second before a light bulb goes on in his head. "Oh!" He snaps his fingers, pointing at me. "The one to that valley?" He takes a drink of his cup. I nod. "Its not exactly a valley. It's just a bunch of cities," I trail off. "Wait, How do you know?" I simultaneously snap.

He shrugs. "Me and my mom are going too. So is Tyler, Zach, Robert, and Alex." My eyes widen and I inwardly groan. "The foolish four are gonna be in the road with us," I groan aloud this time. He laughs and takes a sip of his drink again.

My cousins start squealing again and argue about who is who's. "Shut up, triple A's!" I scream, throwing my head back into the couch cushions. I feel Austin lean down to my ear as I sit up again, and whispers in my ear. "Your cousins are hot," he pauses letting me take in his words. I scrunch up my nose looking at the triplets from the corner of my eye, eyeing me devilishly. "Your disgusting," I scold, whispering back. I look at the screen and find the twins arguing about something, the triplets smirking at me and the other three boys glaring at Austin. I was about to laugh before Austin stops me by whispering five words that sent shivers down my spine, giving a tingly feeling with butterflies on top.

"But nobody compares to you," he says. I look at him and find his close proximity very appealing, and it increases my heartbeat. I collect myself after getting vulgar thoughts in my head and spit words at him through clenched teeth. I get up to his face, make sure to whisper very lowly.

"You're pushing it Mahone," I spit dangerously. I hear Jae chuckle and turn to look at the screen displaying my family. Well at least my cousins, cause my grandparents vanished. "Where's Gamma and 'Pa?" I ask, dumbfounded. The only person who hasn't spoken throughout the whole chat, is the first to speak.

"They went to sleep. It is 10 p.m," he states. I forgot its like five hours later over there. "Oh. Well Edvard, how Malia?" I ask. "She's fine," he says and looks away, glaring at my cousins. Diamond comes trotting into the room with a chocolate chip cookie and a baby in her arms. Her hair loose and covered in various types of clips, artificially colored.

"Hi, Lesley!" She yells, waving at the camera, covering the view. I laugh and say, "Hi, Di!" And repeat her motions, waving at the screen. She laughs and grabs a little chair that was probably nearby. "Where have you been?" I ask. My cousins smile at how cute Diamond is, and Edvard starts combing her hair, putting it into a high ponytail, and slouching back to observe his work, admiring it. I guess taking care of four girls affected him, not to mention having a girlfriend. I hear Austin aw beside me at Diamonds cuteness. Who doesn't think Diamond is adorable? The way her hair ends up at the top her waist, curls up by itself as if they'd curled it, it's soft and straight at the roots? I would love to have her hair. not even the triplets have that hair.


Okay, I'll shut up now.


"I was playing with Jayna!" She says sticking her doll upside down so I can see. "Oh! I thought her name was Lesley!" I claim, pouting and crossing my arms. Austin snorts beside me, clearly amused of the situation.

"It was," she whines. "But Malia is using it to name her and Eddie's baby."

I gasp, dumbfounded. Edvard's always been the responsible one. His eyes widen and cloud with shame. I clear my throat after a long silence. "Guys can I talk to Eddie alone?" I ask, even Austin. They nod and retreat. Austin heads towards the kitchen and I grab the iPad with earphones attached to them. I connect the earphones, and say, "Tell me everything."

He sighs, but obliges. "It started on our two year anniversary. She was happy and the sex part was my idea. I guess I just forgot about protection."

He tells me the story from the start, with no interruptions.

"And that's how she's pregnant." He finishes. I breath out and say, "Aw!" I mean that story is amazing. "I'm so happy for you! So is it a boy or girl and how far along is she! You've got to bring her. You guys are staying for month! She should definitely come... If she can still ride plains," I rush out. He laughs and shakes his head. "You're really something, Lesley."

"Yeah yeah. Au revoìr to that. Now the answers!"

He chuckles. "She's almost 2 months. We want a girl, obviously..."

"Hey..."

"And yes she is still suitable to ride a plane."

"Yay!" I jump with glee. "She told her parents yesterday, they kicked her out, so she's moving in with us. So of course she's coming."

"Yay!" I yell again. He chuckles. But then he just smiles and nods his head towards the eavesdroppers, motioning for us to call them out. I nod and we go for it.

"You can come out now, dorks!" He yells at the same time I yell, "Come on out, big eared Godzilla!" He sticks his head out from the kitchen door and puts on a poker face.

"Don't give me that face I know you were listening." He laughs and sits next to me. I remove the earphones from the little hole and focus back on the screen. I look at my phone and check the time. It's eight thirty. Must be like eleven there already. I have school and I have to talk to Godzilla. Sandwiches...

'Sandwiches? That's the best substitutions you can make for a curse word?' Says the annoying conscience that cloud my mind with unwanted thoughts.

'Deal with it!'

"Well, I gotta go. I have-"

"Harold! I already put her to sleep," says Frank, coming from the stairs in my Gamma's house. Guess Diamond feel asleep. I sigh.

"I have school tomorrow so I'll see you guys.." I wave. All of my cousins wave bye but Harry had something else in mind. "Okay but he better be out by nine. Kapeesh?"

I nod. Him and Bryce are not related but damn are they both so alike. Besides the ego, sleeping around, and responsibility. Bryce is none of those.

"Au revoìr!" I wave once again and end the chat as they say farewell to me in they're unknown language. I turn it off and take it up to my room. "You coming, Mahone?" I ask looking at him. "Oh, right." He says getting up and leaving the blanket on the couch. I make it to the room and connect the charger of the computer. Austin comes in and sits on my couch. I sit down on my bed and cross my legs like I did in elementary.

"Talk... you got..." I check the time on my phone and say, "Forty-five minutes." He nods and claps his hands, looking at the floor and rubbing them together. He stays silent and says nothing. And out of the blue, I blurt, "Did you mean what you said? About me being a slut?" I ask, fiddling with my thumbs. I take a quick look, and his head instantly snaps up in my direction as I finish my sentence. He says nothing for a while, and then says, "No, I didn't." Barely above a whisper. "What about the stuff that you said?"

"I didn't mean any of it," he says, his voice cracking. I'm not crying, surprisingly, and just the sound of his voice, makes my heart churn. "What about me being a whore like Brianda?"

He stays silent. "What about my 'whore house'?" I say entering air quotations, and my voice cracking at the word 'whore house'.

He suddenly stands up, furious and pulls at his hair. "God! I know I've said this a thousand times, but I didn't mean that, Lesley. You're nothing like Brianda! Thank god!" He praises. "And you're not a whore house. I've thought about the crap I said and the stuff you said..." he pauses, taking a deep breath. "And your right about everything. I shouldn't blame you about Matt. I shouldn't blame you fo-"

"You're right about one thing," I point out, cutting him off. He looks at me, holding my strong gaze. "I am a slut. A big fat slut." A tear slips and travels slowly down my cheek, leaving a wet mark trailing behind it. He grasps my chin, gently, and makes me look at him. "You listen to me, the previous things that have come out of my filthy mouth aren't true. You never are and never will be."

I nod. Looking down again, and standing up. I walk over to him, and stare into his beautiful hazel eyes. "I need to tell you something," I pause, taking a deep breath. "I definitely have strong feelings for you," his eyes light up like the sun on a sunny day. "I just haven't figured out if they're just for a simple crush that I'll get over or a true feeling."
