I came from the trip feeling quite exhausted and all I needed at that time was some shut eye. Dragging my petite self across the house, I went into the kitchen and decided to drink a glass of nice cool, cold water. Once I was done letting the ice cold water sip down my throat, I began dragging myself to my room.
By the time I had arrived everyone was fast asleep. My parents were snoring loudly. Almost hard to believe they could sleep through those inhuman like sounds they were producing. I got into bed and immediately drifted off to dreamland. At 2 a.m I had loud, glass breaking screams from my parents room. I wanted to move. I wanted to see what had caused the fracus but I was numb. Who knows what I would find if I did decide to go check it out.
The screams disappeared almost immediately and I concluded they had a bad dream at the same time. We were all weird like that. I heard footsteps coming my way and covered myself with my huge barbie blanket. I kept my eyes fixed on the door and sure enough I saw a male like figure by the door. Before I could scream a dart was shot at me and everything started moving in circles.
Black...
And to think I thought my dad would save us from this homicide. The guy was a woman literally! I bet he let out the first and loudest scream.
***
An alarm clock sounded. Odd. I do not set alarms. I fidgeted in a bed that seemed a bit too comfortable to be mine then opened my eyes and got accustomed to a whole different setting.
Where was I?
"Bryce !! Bryce come down here fast or you will be late for school. " A female voice came from downstairs question is whose? I had never had it before.
"Bryce don't make me come up there , " she shouted again . I was now more confused than ever . What was going on ? And most importantly where was I ?
Then I heard footsteps approaching just before a teen just about my age budged in . He was smiling that was before he turned to see me.
He was tall , handsome and had the most muscular arms I have ever seen. Okay. Way too much but you get? It didn't take long for me to realize who he was. When he got in a sweet fragrance followed after him feeling my nostrils with the blessed scent. Or was that my bed sheets? He stared at me clearly confused too. His brown eyes had two emotions clearly plastered on them. One I could read and one I wished I couldn't.
"What on earth are you doing here ?" He hissed throwing daggers at me with his eyes. His chocolate brown eyes.
Taylor focus!
I stared at him plainly . I was not sure if I should be happy or sad. I mean my crush was right in front of me .But not in a good way. The look he was giving me was murderous.
That's when he lost it and charged towards me . Lebron James Jnr grabbed me by the neck. Yep....the beautiful scent was my sheets. He smelled like he had just come from the gym. Awful if I might add.
"Where is Bryce ?"He spat.
"I am not sure let me go. "I nearly begged seeing as how his tight grip on my cheap nightwear was doing little to help me breath.
He called for the rest of the family and before I knew it I was being questioned like some sort of criminal.
"Where did you put my son , " The father spoke harshly and glared at me .His tall figure hoovering over me like a cumulonimbus cloud.
The daggers people! I wouldn't mind if someone brought a shield for me.
"I do not know .I really do not ! " I shivered. The temptation to laugh was great. The mom dressed in a linen night gown while the dad had bunny slippers on. Zhuri was wearing a rabbit costume. Which was super adorable. My crush had a loose sweatshirt on and boxers that did little to cover his hairy legs.
I thought of all the social media posts and chuckled silently. This is what everyone looks like when they are back to factory settings.
"Why are you laughing! Do you want money? For crying out loud bring back Bryce."Bronny yelled.
At this time the mother had begun wailing and it did not take time for Zhuri to follow suit
"Call the cops she won't say a thing. "
Come on people! Back to throwing daggers please.
There goes my spotless reputation . I was about to go to jail for waking up in the wrong house , wrong city , wrong continent and maybe wrong planet . Okay last part is an exaggeration but you get.
Two lanky looking cops came almost immediately and the James family explained their issue.
"Oh exchange I see." One cop said too calmly for anyone's liking. Like a doctor announcing you have HIV like it's no big deal.
"So you are the family that has been abusing their younglin." The other added his own useless contribution to the problem at hand.
"Abusing ," they cried together as though the word was not exactly familiar.
"Charges were placed against you and her family had charges placed against them too so we can not help you for the next ummmm 3 months. "
"3 months !" They screamed together and Lebron held one of the cops by the collar.
"We haven't been abusing lil Max in any way and we would very much appreciate it if you would bring him back and take her back to her family . "His voice boomed.
"Sir , I'm sorry we cannot help you and if charges are placed against you by this young lady then its jail for you and your well built wife."The cop said as though taunting him.
The two cops left laughing .I mean I wanted to laugh too but I guessed it would not be proper so I held it in me.
They turned to look at me .
"So say your side of the story ,"Savanna said with watery eyes. I almost felt guilty but then again it ain't really my fault.
I began to explain almost immediately.
They all paid attention carefully and we all reached the conclusion that someone out there had probably framed our families and the only way we were all going to end up home is if we tried our best to tolerate each other for the three months.
"Meeting is over , " Lebron said then walked away with his wife.
His bunny slippers made a squeaky noise something like a cat trying to meow.
That was the last straw.
I burst into laughter and stopped as soon as Bronny gave me a death glare.
Jeez...If looks could kill.
