What’s The Use In Having Me If You Don’t Even Know Me?, chapter 8
About five minutes later there was a knock on my door. I slowly walked to see what who it was. And there stood Dad smiling.
"Hon we ALL need to talk, ok?" He said focusing on ALL. I nodded and followed him downstairs. Everyone was down there in the living room waiting.
"So how this is going to work is we each going to go around and talk about what we can do as a family together, ok?" Mom said as if we had a choice. Everyone nodded.
"Ok oldest can start so Adie you can go first," My dad said and smiled. Mom rolled her eyes.
"I just wish we could act more like a family and spend time together and go on trips and stuff. Which includes eating dinner together not in the studio or in your room," She said and shot glances to Dad and I.
"I just really want the same thing Adie does but I also want to feel like I know you guys, I know you but I know it doesn't feel that way." Dad said smiling at everyone. This was getting to be sort of creepy. Then it was Joey's turn.
"I don't know I want to do something great for Shela's sweet sixteen to show her that we really love her, it's only in 2 weeks right?" Joey said. That so sweet but he of all people should know I love him.
"Good Shela do you have any ideas of what you want to do for your sweet 16?" Mom asked and smiled.
"I wasn't planning on having one," I said plainly. Dad chuckled.
"You're not not having a sweet 16, it's the best year of your life! Mine was awesome it was two days before I met your mother! You have to have one!" Dad said and wrapped his arms around Mom. I nodded.
"Ok just a small one though, just like Tre and Mike and Stella, Mona, Frankito and you guys." I said happily.
"Ohh Frankito!" Jakey said and made kissy noises. I turned to him and shook my head. I changed to a shade of dark red.
"Shela likes Frankito!" Dad sang. I shook my head and blushed. Then it was Jake's turn.
"I think as a family we should go streaking!" Jakey yelled and put his hand up for a high five, no one did. Dad rolled his eyes.
"Ok we'll put that on the top of our to do list!" Mom said sarcastically. "Ok Ela your turn..." Mom said to me. I though about it and then spoke.
"I agree with mom we should go somewhere as a family, or do something together," I said and smiled. Everyone nodded.
*1 week later*
*Billie's POV*
Things had gotten a lot better and everyone was a lot happier. Shela's party was tomorrow at 9:30, we where having it in the backyard and Adie and I decided to get her a car. That's what we gave Joey and Jakob so it was fair to give Shela one. Right now I'm sitting in my studio and writing a song.
*RING*
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hello is this Mr. Armstrong?" The voice said.
"Umm yes it is who is this?" I asked.
"This is the assistant director for Saturday night live, we where wondering if we could have you in our show tomorrow?" The person asked.
"Umm sure, just me or Mike and Tre too?" I asked.
"Just you it's a small part but we need you to play George Bush in a skit," The women said.
"Ummm...ok I guess when should I be there?" I asked. I hated doing things with out Tre and Mike.
"We need you there at 9:30 tomorrow ok?" She asked.
"Yes see you then," I said and hung up. This might be a bit of fun.
"Hon we ALL need to talk, ok?" He said focusing on ALL. I nodded and followed him downstairs. Everyone was down there in the living room waiting.
