Yeah so thanks guys for the supportive comments. But I realized that there is more than just one person. I also just want to point out one thing to those that think its just such a good idea to steal books. Yeah so I'm 14. Freakin' 14! To all those older than me, who are taking books, even those younger I mean come on. Use your imagination for a book, don't use someone else's hard, cherished work. I came up with this and if I could come up with this story, I don't care how much you say your a bad writer, you can come up with a story too. I thought I was a terrible writer. But everyone has imagination, just find it and don't take ideas. Its sad and I was considering deleting the book and just go and publish.

Other than that I hope you guys liie the chapter. To all my awesome fans I made it extra long.

Suzie's POV

To say it was an awesome day was an understatement.

What I wondered though was why Tori wasn't telling Mark. If Mark got mad or if he felt betrayed, then what? Tori can't live without him. Conlan and I always make fun of them. Making jokes about them getting married and stuff.

Well Conlan is a different stroy. He's literally been there for me my whole life. And he's funny, sweet, kind.....

I stopped myself and grabbed my pajamas heading for the guest bathroom. Everyone had already gone to their rooms and now I was changing in the guest room.

When I was done I let my head fall onto the soft pillow and let sleep over take my consciousness.

I wasn't sure when it happened. It was dark outside and it must have been incredibly early in the day. But it happened.

A ear piercing scream went through the house and I jolted up in my bed.

I had never experienced this feeling before. At first I didn't know what it was, but then it hit me. Terror.

It was easy watching the door. I just stared at it as my heart beated faster and faster in my chest. Then the door creaked open and everything washed through me. Every little feeling of fear racked my body. Down to my toes.

A small figure stood at the door once it swung open. I sighed in relief when I noticed it was Conlan. He rushed over crawling his way to my side and wrapping his arms around me.

"Conlan what was that?" I barely managed to whisper.

"It's ok Suzie. Dad has nightmares sometimes. Just go back to sleep." He replied.

"Please stay," I gripped his shirt letting him know not to leave me. He simply nodded and got comfortable on the bed.

I think Mr.Bennett screamed one more time that night. The second time he did, Mark showed up and got on my other side. A thrid scream wasn't heard, that at least calmed me the rest of the night.

Cole's POV BEFORE

"Bye guys. Have fun man shopping." Suzie shouted as she and Tori headed out. I couldn't help but smile. She's a strange child but now she's my sis. And so is Tori. I've always wanted a little sibling. I mean sure Shawn is my little brother, by like....three minutes? Around that time. And at first I hated the concept of having stepsisters, but I've grown to the fact that they are now part of family. And it's about time I show them that they're accepted. Well by me anyways. Shawn is still warming up to the idea. And Blake......I haven't talked to him in forever.

A pang of guilt hit me. I haven't talked to him in forever. We always used to talk....

Shawn and me decided to wait up for Blake in the living room. Dad had already told us that mom wasn't feeling well. Probably just a twenty-four hour flu or something. Maybe a cold. It was getting colder outside now.

Which brings me to Halloween. I couldn't wait for our party. We always decorate the house and make sure stuff pops up from random corners. When we were in sophomore year the seniors asked to come, and my brother and I just laughed in their faces. We had invited them the year before, when they were juniors, but they said hanging with freshmen was social death. So all the seniors came, along with the sophomores and freshmen. They then rubbed it all in the juniors faces. The next year when they were seniors, we decided only to invite sophomores and juniors. Just to piss them off.

"So what are you and Em going to do on your date?" I asked Shawn.

He shrugged, "Em invited me to dinner so her aunt could meet me."

"Her aunt?" I asked.

"Bug off Cole." Shawn said hotly even though he smiled, "She's my girl, not yours."

"Oh well shit damn and piss," I said while smiling causing Shawn to laugh. "Guess I'll just have to deal with it," I added. The whole 'SDP,' or as my brother's would say, was something we made up in eighth grade. We just thought it would be something funny to say until the teacher caught us and called mom and dad.

When our laughter died down Shawn layed back and we were left in a comfortable silence. I was the first to break it, "You really like her don't you?"

Shawn nodded, "Yeah. She's different."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah and your completely bonkers for her."

"Cole," Shawn looked directly at me. His eyes looking straight into mine, "Didn't you ever think about settling? Having a lot of girlfriends is nothing like having one that you really like. You can actually talk to them, and since they like you back they help you figure everything out. Whenever I'm with Em I feel like I'm going to explode with joy and happiness. Don't you want to feel that?"

I didn't know what to say at that point. I never had thought of it like that. I never really thought someone would love me for me. But Shawn had just told me that Em doesn't love him for a night, she actually likes him. All I know is that when you have a girlfriend in highschool. You always break up with them. The guy rule: You don't take your girlfriend with you to college. That's just something people do.

When I finally felt like I had a response Blake just had to come down the stairs, "So where to?"

Shawn kept looking directly at me but I stood up and faced Blake as I grabbed my jacket and put it on. "Well....weren't we going man shopping?"

"We should go to the Pavilion." Blake said.

"Ooh la la. De Pavilion no?" Shawn said with a thick French accent.

I couldn't help but smile and Blake shook his head.

"So the Pavilion?" I asked just to be sure.

"Yes little brother. Now lets get out of here." Blake pulled the keys out of his pocket and we all walked towards the garage. I raced Shawn to the passengers seat and won.

"Dammit!" Shawn hollered as I stuck my tongue at him and got in the car.

Blake laughed, "That never gets old."

"Don't be so cocky Blake." I muttered.

"I can be as cocky as-"

"Don't!" Shawn interrupted, "Don't go there."

I rolled my eyes at Blake, who was laughing so hard he couldn't put the keys in the ignition. When he finally did he started the engine and the radio turned on. Blake turned the volume on low and started to talk.

"So what's going on for you two?" He asked, "Any homecoming plans?"

"Nope," I said popping the 'p.'

"I haven't asked Em yet but she'll probably say yes." Shawn added.

"We have to win the game though." Blake added.

Football season wasn't over yet. We had the last game and after the game we have one hour to get ready for homecoming. We have special permission from out football coach to try out for soccer and still be able to play. It was a difficult schedule, and at times its exhausting, but its worth it. This was the last game of the season and soon we'd start soccer.

"We will." Shawn added.

Blake pulled out his phone and even though there was that whole, 'No texting while you drive' law. He texted. Then he looked towards me and flicked his eyes to pocket where my phone was at. As casually as I could I pulled out my cellphone and switched it to silent. Blake nodded in approval and with one hand he drove and the other he tapped the keyboard on his phone.

"If we crash and die I'm blaming you." Shawn added.

"Uh huh." Blake responded, "That's nice." I rolled my eyes. Whenever Blake was distracted that's what he would do. He'd act like he heard what you said and then add a cheap response that would never make sense.

He finally put his phone down and the screen on mine lit up. I unlocked the screen and checked the unread text. No shocker it was from Blake.

'Should we tell him?' It read. I glanced at Blake and nodded. He grinned, "Hey Shawn..."

"That'd be me." Shawn blurted.

"Did you have time to read the homecoming vallet?" I asked.

"Nope." Shawn said.

"Well as you know," Blake started up, "I have three hundred contacts and I have the whole twelfth grade wired."

"And as you also probably know," I said, "You and Em are just such an adorable couple."

We didn't say anything so Shawn could plug it all in.

"You guys rigged it! Mother F!" Shawn shouted.

I broke into laughter and Blake did too. Blake high-fived me and then we fist bumped. About a week ago we had to vote for the homecoming king and queen, well me and Blake had thought about getting Shawn and Em to be king and queen by texting all of our contacts to vote for them.

"We didn't rig it." I said to calm Shawn down.

"We just told everyone to vote for you two." Blake said for me.

"I haven't even asked her yet!" Shawn shouted.

I smirked, "Ask her today."

Shawn layed back and looked out the window. He seemed deep in thought so me and Blake just didn't say anything.

It was funny watching Shawn be so interested in a girl. I thought it was werid at first but then I saw the spark in his eye. The one that would light up whenever we talked about his precious Emily.

I didn't know why but I had this strange feeling inside of me. Like my heart was feeling left out or...jealous. Jealous? But I've never been jealous of Shawn before. I mean Blake sure all the time. But Shawn? Shawn? Only once have I been jealous, and that is because he is the youngest and I'm middle. The stupid middle.

So why was a I jealous? I didn't know. Maybe its because he seems happy. Like actually happy. And I want that. I want to know the feeling of this happiness that my little brother is experiencing.

"We're here," Blake stated as he parked in a free spot. I hadn't even realized we had arrived.

"That was quick." I muttered stepping out of the car. Shawn took a step beside me while Blake searched for his shades. Once he found them he put them on and I assumed he was looking at Shawn and me. His shades were so dark, all I could see was my reflection.

"How'd I look?" Blake gave us a smile and we laughed.

Shawn fanned his hand at his face. "Oh my god call an ambulance," he said high pitched, "Blake has his shades. His shades! Like that is totes sexy stuff there. Omg I'm going to faint. Cole catch me."

I laughed harder while Shawn fell into my arms. Blake shook his head, a curl on his lips. "Come on Hollywood. I didn't come all the way here for you to put on a show." Blake grinned at me, scratching his nose.

"Well at least I know Cole will catch me." Shawn added. I laughed, "Speaking to soon my brother."

I let him go and he fell onto the pavement. Blake laughed and high fived me as Shawn scrambled to his feet. He kept rubbing his elbow and when he looked down at it, there was a small scrap. "You guys are mean. Seriously take a hit will you?" He walked off leaving Blake and I to stare and try not to laugh.

We walked towards the angry Shawn. Covering our mouths sometimes to block the snickers escaping between our teeth. "Oh come on Shawn we were just playing," I said catching up to him, "We didn't mean to hurt you."

"Yeah yeah." He shrugged my hand off his shoulder and continued to walk.

"Hey Shawn," Blake stood at his other side and took off his shades, "Would it make you feel better if you wore my shades?"

I had to admit, even I wanted to wear Blake's shades. He never let anyone touch them, much less wear. Although in occasions like this, he'd be nice enough to let one of us use them.

Shawn smiled and nodded. "Yeah. But it has to be for the rest of the day."

Blake sighed deeply. "Fine but if you break my Ray-Ban I'm going to be beyond pissed."

"Ok ok can I wear them now!" Blake handed him his shades and Shawn quickly put them on.

"Sweet," Shawn nodded his head as he extended the word out. He put his arms up in a Superman pose and puffed his chest. As he talked his voice had lowered down an octave. "I'm Blake the badass of the school. Don't mess with me or I break your face!"

I grabbed my stomach as I laughed while Blake shook his head. "Your such a dickhead." Blake muttered.

"Oh I'm Blake," Shawn continued, "My little brother walked in on me once while I getting a BJ."

That did it. I leaned onto my knees laughing so hard tears formed in my eyes. Then it got worse as Blake chased Shawn around the parking lot. A man with two kids passed by. The father stared at me strangely so I did the normal thing and swirled my fingers on either side of my head signifying that we were crazy. He grabbed his daughter and sons hands, fast walking away.

"Guys come on I want to go to Hollister." I said loud enough for my brothers to hear over the shouts and yelps of Shawn's running and Blake's chasing.

"He started it," Blake muttered as we started walking.

"I started it?" Shawn said in disbelief, "No no no. You said things about me and Hollywood."

"Then Cole dropped you." Like a click they both looked at me. In union they shouted, "You started it!"

I rose my hands up in surrender, "If I admit I started it can we go to Hollister?" I asked.

They crossed their arms and for once they looked like brothers. Even if Blake was taller by a head or so. "I don't know? Should we punish him?" Shawn asked Blake.

"Well he was laughing wasn't he?" Blake added.

At this point I just smiled and slowly backed away from my brothers. "Oh come on guys. You love me." I said nervously.

They both looked at each other with devious smiles before looking back at me. So you know how people say twins and triplets have some sort of telepathic communication? Well right now I knew exactly what my brothers were thinking. In a few seconds I was bolting away from the parking lot and towards the sidewalk where the strip of stores were.

I heard them chasing after me and dodged a women with a stroller. She gaze me a digusted look but I didn't care right now, I was just trying to survive my brothers. When I looked behind me, I saw Shawn quickly apologizing to the woman while Blake continued to chase me. I looked back ahead and a door opened from the store ahead. I dug my heels into the pavement, but then again I was never a fan of physics.

I rammed into the door, my forehead hitting the glass and I fell to the ground like a rock. I put my hand on the bump forming on my forehead. My eyes were closed and a painful groan left my lips. I think time passed by, but I was in a haze.

"Cole?" I heard someone say, "Hey buddy can you hear me?"

"I blame you Blake." I muttered opening my eyes. Blake and Shawn were kneeling beside me with goofy smiles on their faces.

"Are you ok?" Said a feminine voice. I arched my neck looking up at at the girl. Her eyes were green, that was the first thing I noticed. Then the strawberry blonde hair.

"Hey," I said with a croak in my voice, "Don't I know you?"

She laughed softly, "Come on lets get you inside."

Blake and Shawn each grabbed one of my arms and hauled me up. For a second I saw black dots and put my hand on the bump. My brothers steadied me while we walked in the store.

"We have a lounge in the back," The girl led us to the back of the store and to a door that read Employees Only. She opened it up and I saw a fridge, two vending machines one for snacks and one for drinks, a sink with a few cabinets above, a leather couch with a matching armchair, and a small coffee table in the middle with a few magazines. The room was painted a yellow and I saw a few dots around but I think that was just me.

"You can lie down. I'll get you some ice for your head." She said walking to the fridge.

Blake and Shawn walked me to the couch where they layed me down. I sank down in the cushions, propping my head onto a pillow Shawn brought from the armchair.

Blake pulled up the coffee table, pushing the magazines aside and sitting down. "You ok man?"

"Yeah I'm fine. My head hurts though."

Shawn laughed, "Course it does. You rammed full force into that glass door."

"What store is this anyways?" I hadn't really paid attention to my surrondings as I walked in. But now the curiosity was getting to me.

"Hollister." My strawberry blonde nurse said walking towards me with a bag of ice. "I was opening the door for a customer with too many bags and you crashed into it."

Well at least I ended up where I wanted to be.

"I swear I've seen you before." I blurted out. She looked so familiar. I just couldn't put my tongue on it.

"Do you have a flashlight?" Shawn asked. She nodded and walked over to one of the cabinets.

Then it hit me. Cleats....smirking....don't mind my brother.

"Julie?" I asked.

She froze on her tippy toes the flashlight in her hand. Blake shifted position on the table and Shawn raised an eyebrow.

"So you do know her?" Blake asked.

"You are Julie right?" I asked ignoring Blake.

"My name is Jodee. It was a name tab misprint." She said handing Shawn the flashlight. I smiled to myself form remembering and nodded. This was the girl I remember seeing at Dick's. When Tori and I went to buy her soccer supplies.

"Cole look at me." I did as Shawn asked and he put his fingers on my eyelids. He kept my eyes open while flashing the light across my eye checking for concussion.

"Well I don't even think you have a mild concussion, but you definitely have something." Shawn said after a few swips of the flashlight.

I nodded and layed back against the cusions, shifting the ice on my head.

"I can't wait to tell everyone at school about this," Blake laughed, "I can picture it already. Cole Parris gets mild concussion ramming into Hollister door."

The torment at school would probably be bad. But lets face it, I'm Cole Parris. I don't get tormented.

I was about to say something when the door opened up and a guy started yelling. "Jodee it's not your break why are you in the lounge?"

Jodee rolled her eyes, "I'll be out in a minute Dalton."

I looked up at Dalton. His hair was a greasy black and his eyes looked like a bulls right before they were let out from the rodeo cage. He looked older than us, around twenty or twenty one.
