"Belle I'm nervous" Ace bursts into my room without warning

"Wow thanks for the warning Ace, you are interrupting my Greys time" I huff pausing the show

I really should be packing, we're leaving in like an hour.

"Oh shut up, Gabe and Brett are going to be here in an hour, I am falling apart and I need my baby sister" he huffs "besides you've seen this series like five times"

I smile as at his distress, it was honestly quite amusing. I pat my bed beside me before opening my balcony door curtain to let the natural light enter my room.

"Why are you stressing big brother?" I ask grin as he rests his head on my shoulder.

Sometimes I forgot I was the younger one.

"I'm just nervous about seeing him" he huffs "I haven't dated anyone since sophomore year"

"Don't be stupid, I know you haven't dated in a while but you're an awesome person, and amazing big brother" I smile at him "Dont tell Arrex, Beck or Colton, but personally I think you are the least barbaric of them all" I say making him laugh

"Well thanks for that" he grins "I appreciate it"

"Of course" I snort "but seriously, you have nothing to worry about. You're a great guy, you're extremely sweet and caring. Don't stress the small stuff, you'll find yourself missing out on all the fun. Brett likes you. a lot. So just be yourself" I grin at him

"How are you the younger sibling?"

"I know I'm kind of a genius right?" I say making him laugh

"No but really, you have grown up." He chuckles as he ruffles my hair "no longer the baby sister"

"I haven't been the baby in a while" I roll my eyes already knowing what's to come. I'll always be the baby sister.

"Oh you'll always be our baby sister, just slightly more mature than you have been" he laughs

"Okay okay, well, you have to get ready cause you smell like Tiny, and I'm going to watch one more episodes"

"Alright alright I'm leaving" he grunts "thanks baileyboo" he smiles at me once he reaches my bedroom door

"Anytime Ace," I say as a devious smile takes over my fave

"Oh no. Do not say it!" He yells as he runs out of my room

I hop off my bed and run to the door, "GET THAT DICK!" I yell down the hall, hearing my brothers laugh in response, knowing they heard it.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY FILTER?!" I hear Ace yell from the kitchen

No big brother. No I don't.

"No she doesn't" Caleb answers from the front door "Hey Princess" he grins as he walks passed the staircase

"Hey Co" I respond before walking back to my room

I quickly throw my hair up before walking downstairs, still in my afyer school attire consisting of a T-shirt and my spandex shorts.

"Hey guys" I smile at Colton, and his two friends Christian and Cody.

"Hey Belle" the three stooges grin before looking back to he TV

"Where are the girls?" I ask referring to Arya and Lenny, usually the five of them were always together

"They went to the mall" Christian says

"Lenny needed a new swimsuit for the lake on Sunday" Cody finishes

"Hey Belle" Christian smirks "did you watch practice yesterday?" I in fact did, he had a few really nice runs but I'd never tell him that. He's had a crush on me since we were kids.

"Yeah I did, you looked like a baby giraffe" I grin before walking over to the fridge where Co had been standing.

He just shakes his head before sitting back down by the other two

I just nod before openimg the fridge to grab the pitcher of tea.

"He's had a crush on you since forever" Caleb grins at me as I grab the pitcher of tea

"I'm pretty sure it's like a thing with the whole JV team to like the players older sisters" I grin. It's just normal, a guy on the team has an older sitter and they automatically all have crushes on her.

"Hm, not just the JV team" He smiles with a wink

"Belle you look like a mess" Beck snorts as he the twins make their way into the kitchen.

"It's called after school laziness" I grin "I'm living my best life so shut up"

"Locked up in your room, eating endless amounts of cookies, popcorn and chips while drinking countless bottles of sweet tea is your definition of best life?" Arrex asks

"Sounds about right to me" Caleb shrugs, holding his hands out as I toss a bottle of sweet tea to him

"Thank you!" I smile giving him a high five as I we walk passed him to the living room couch

"What are you doing? We're leaving in an hour and a half" Arrex questions "Have you even packed?And you still have to actually get dressed"

"Yes I packed! And I'm wearing this for the ride there, it's like a three hour ride, I'm gonna be comfortable" I grin lazily as I slump down into the couch

"Oh and is Dallas coming? Dad wants to know"

"I'll text him and ask him, he might be able to come down on Saturday"

"Oh cool, jet ski day. I'd love to kick his as in a race" Arrex chuckles.

"Does he have to come? I still don't like that asshole" Beck whines

"Yeah and I hated most of the bitches you've dated but I still put up with them. Don't be a dick, he's only gonna be there for a day"

"Me? A dick? Never!" He states with fake innocence. Beck could and definitely would be the biggest asshole if he didn't like you. If he didn't want you around he'd do everything in his power to make you go away.

"But for real, the guys a dick. I don't want him there"

"Well sorry but you don't always get what you want and so help me god if you start shit I'm going to kick your ass" I state finally. I loved my twin, but he was an ass sometimes.

Beck just scoffs and rolls his eyes before storming away. He was so overprotective and a lot of times I could handle it, but sometimes it just got unbearable.

Things had gotten better between Dallas and my brothers, Well all of them except Beck. After giving him a chance, they started to kinda like Dallas. They still thought he was a douchey rich boy, but he wasn't unbearable to be around, and he is extremely respectful and sweet towards me, which earned major points with them. Beck still didn't trust him and still hated him though, no matter how well he treated me. He was outwardly a dick to Dallas, He didn't even try to be discreet. He purposefully said shit that he knew would piss Dallas off.

Even Caleb was somewhat nice to Dallas. He wasn't condescending as usual, and he wasn't a dick like Beck. Usually he'd follow Beck's lead in this and be an even bigger possessive asshole but for some reason he's not, I'm not complaining though it's easier to deal with just Beck than Caleb and Beck.

"You could be a little nicer" Caleb states, aiming his comment at me as he watched Beck storm away. Caleb was always the mediator between the two of us

"And he could actually act his age" I huff looking up at him "Dallas isn't that bad"

"to you, yeah he is. Personally though, I think l he's a little boring for you. You're constantly wanting adventure where he's just a dinner and movie type of guy" he starts to ramble "but that's beside the point, I can't necessarily blame Beck, you are his other half, if something happened to you, he'd be wrecked and vice versa,"

"I hate it, you don't see me being an overprotective bitch, sure I don't want him to get hurt, ever, but I'm still going to let him live his life. Besides, Dallas is a nice guy, does he really hate him that much?"

"Yeah. We both do" He states simply "Different reasons of course but yeah, just about on the same level"

"Then why aren't you a constant dick to him? You are never one to sugar coat things with people, if you don't like them, they will know"

"I do it for you. I am possessive and I hate him, but I love you and if he makes you happy, then I'm willing to put aside my feelings towards him for you." He shows a small smile. I try to determine if the pink on his cheeks were from a blush or if it was just natural. Caleb never blushed, so I was almost positive it was the normal redness.

I just smile at the previous statement. He may drive me fucking insane but I still love him. I mean how could I not? He was a lovable person.

I step closer as I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him in for a hug. His arms instinctively wrap around me waist.

"Thank you" I say quietly "I may want to punch you most times of the day, but I actually do love you" I say, feeling his chest vibrate as he lets out a loud laugh

"love you too Belle" He chuckles before lightly kissing the top of my head and letting me go. It was something about him that made me feel safe, he was just there, always, and just made things feel okay, even if they weren't.

"Co?" Arrex calls from the living room before appearing in the kitchen. "Hey so we ran out of room in my truck"

"So we're taking my truck too?" Caleb questions

"Yeah I can fit seven of us, so we'll need your truck" Arrex tells him

"Damn I didn't wanna drive" he groans making me immediately perk up

"I'll drive!" I smile eagerly

"No one drives my baby but me" Caleb states

simply

"Pleeeeaaaasese Co? I promise I'll be nice!" I plead, I've always wanted to drive his truck

Caleb and Arrex share looks before Caleb let's out a loud sigh.

"Fine" he huffs as I jump up excitedly "but I am coming with you, there's no way in hell your driving it alone"

"Okay!" I groan as I run upstairs to grab my bag

After throwing two of my swimsuits into the bag and the yellow dress I bought from Hollister few weeks ago, I run downstairs.

"Belle get the door!" Em yells as she packs a few chip bags into her giant beach bag.

I mosey over to the door and lazily throw it open to reveal Dallas.

"Oh hey Dally, I didn't know you were coming by" I smile at him

"Hey dallas" Caleb greets politely with a small grin "I'll take your bag, everything else is already in the truck" he says to me before walking out

"Oh are y'all fleeing the country?" Dallas jokes as we watch Caleb walk to his truck, my duffel bag in hand

"Nah just to the beach house for the weekend. My parents are already there and the rest of us thought we should leave Ace and his new boy toy alone for the night" I grin

"Oh sounds like fun" he grins "well I just wanted to drop this off to you" he says, holding out a small card

"What's this for?" I question as I open it

I take the card out to reveal a nicely drawn bats and spiders with two tickets taped blow.

"Ya know, I heard that the Hollywood theater is having midnight showing of sinister next Saturday " he says slyly "I was wondering if you'd like to go with me?" The Hollywood theater was one of the best movie theaters in the area, it was super expensive though so we almsot never go. It was like a restraunt almost. Before the movie starts you can order food and a waiter or waitress will bring it to you. Plus they also have the comfiest recliner seats.

"Like as a date?" I bite my bottom lip out of nervousness and my cheeks heat up

"No. As fully platonic friends" he states sarcastically with a laugh

"I would love to go with you" I smile jumping up and down excitedly

"I was hoping you'd say that" he chuckles "Okay I just wanted to stop by and ask you that" he grins, smoking down at me "y'all seem a little busy" he chuckles

"Well thank you" I nod still holding the card

"Hey Dallas" Arrex smiles politely at him before turning back to me "Belle did Caleb give you the keys to his truck?" Arrex questions

"No he should still have them" I say before looking back at Dallas, "uh do you wanna come down on Saturday? All of us are gonna be there. It's super fun, we have jet ski races and everything"

"Yeah it shouldn't be a problem, just send me the address" he grins " I gotta get home though, my parents are in town" he says after glancing down at his phone

"Oh yeah, I have to help finish packing everything up, but I'll see you Saturday?" I questions a she starts walking away

"I'll be there." He grins "have fun" he gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and with one last wave he plops back into his car and drives away.

I just smile as I quickly run up to my room to place the tickets in a safe spot before returning back downstairs. I'd never gone on an actual date to the Hollywood theater, and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel butterflies.

I helped my brothers finish putting the last air mattresses in the bed of Caleb's truck just as we hear a car pull into our driveway

"Ace! Brett is here!" I yell to him as I hop off Caleb's truck to greet Brett

"My favorite Skilanski" Brett smirks as he twirls me around in a hug

"I am hurt" Ace pouts in mock sadness, playfully placing his hand over hi heart

"Hey Ace" Brett smiles nervously watching Ace walk closer as I inch away

"Hey Brett" Ace grins as they just stare at eachother

"Oh for fuck sakes, kiss already! The sexual tension is killing me!" a voice scoffs from behind them

"Thank you Gabe!" I yell as he walk around the lovey boys with a smiling face

"Long time no see assholes" Gabe grins as he does the guy hug with my brothers and Caleb

I smile at the rest of my brothers before looking back at Ace.

I see him talking animatedly to a wide smiling Brett. Ace was wearing he biggest smile I'd seen on him in months. They were talking lowly but I could tell it was something important to them. The rest of my brothers along with Em retreated back into the house leaving Caleb, Gabe and I in the garage with Ace and Brett still at the end of the driveway.

"Coco!" I hear the cute high pitched voice yell

"In the garage Bex" Caleb answers as we see the younger girl run out to greet us

"And who might this adorable young lady be?" Gabe questions as he lightly pokes her nose, earning a shy giggle from Bex

"This is Bexley, my neice" Caleb says

"Yep!" She smirks proudly "He's more like my big brother" she nods

Gabe looks at me with a slightly confused expression

"Explain later" Caleb chuckles, setting Bex down after gibing her a kiss on her cheek "What do you need girlie?" He asks her

"Are you leaving for the weekend?" she asks quietly

"I am" he nods making her face fall "But what did we talk about?"

"I don't remember" she mumbles softly

"C'mon Bex, I know you do, what did I tell you to do when you have a nightmare?" He asks softly as he brushes the hair from her face

"Uh the deep breaths. The four Breaths" she mumbles

"Good, four seconds in, hold four and four out, hold four. what else?" He questions softly

"Cuddle close to your blanket, it'll keep me safe" she speaks again

I think my heart just melted.

He gave her his blanket.

Now this wasn't any blanket. This was the same fluffy navy blue blanket he's had since he was born. All little kids have their security item when they're little. I have my little stuffed elephant, Beck had his stuffed bear, and Caleb had his blanket. Whenever I had my nightmares, he would bring it over and let me use it. I swore the thing was magical. As soon as he wrapped it around me, I immediately felt a sense of safety.

"Exactly. I'll only be gone until for the weekend, and I know mama and daddy are working but Arya, Lenny, Colton and the guys are gonna be here with you" he nods "Then on Saturday all of you guys are gonna come down and spend the night"

They were all coming later so they could watch Bex.

"Will you take me on the jet ski!" She smiles up at him, her mood immediately changing making me smile. I see Gabe smiling at her too out of the corner of my eye.

"We can do whatever you want princess, that day I will reserve just for you" Caleb smirks sweetlybat her "but you have to be good for Arya. Deal?" He question holding up his pinky

"Deal" Bex smiles as she wraps her tiny pinky around his much bigger one

"Oh my god you are the cutest child" Gabe

laughs "and I swear if I was gay you'd be my husband" Gabe says to Caleb making both of us laugh

"I'm adorable" Bex agrees "but I can also kick ass at Black ops"

"Did she just ah ass?" Gabe questions Caleb and I

"Her fault" "His fault" Caleb and I both comment at the same time

"Belle! Caleb! Gabe! We gotta leave soon, are you sure you have everything? Jordan, Tyler, Wes and Amy are on their way over now" Arrex yells at us from my house. He was possibly the most irresponsible responsible person I knew.

"Yeah we're ready" I yell to him "Are you good princess?" I ask Bex

"I'll be okay," she nods looking between Caleb and I

"Good, I gotta tell you a little secret" I grin before leaning in "Coco let me use that blanket when I got scared too. Just hug it really tight whenever you get scared and it's like he's right there with you." I whisper

"Y'all ready?!" I hear Tyler yell while he hangs out the sunroof of Wes's car as Amy and the other two pull up

"Be there in a sec" Gabe grins "I'm gonna go help them with their stuff" he says leaving Caleb and I with Bex

"Okay, Arya, Colton and Chris are here. you gotta go back home, she has to get you ready for bed. But I love you and I will see you on Sunday?" Caleb grins as he squats down to our level, giving Bex a quick kiss on the head

"See you guys later!" Bex yells to everyone before running over to Arya

"All right, it's eight thirty guys, we gotta get going" Beck tells us as everyone hops into Arrexs truck

"Bye Ace, bye Brett!" I yell to them as we leave

"GET THAT DICK!" Caleb yells before closing the door

"Oh you are so dead" I laugh as we run to his truck.

"I know" he quickly tosses me the keys "Now please be careful"

"Uh have you met me? I'm always careful!"

This was gonna be a fun weekend.
