I Promise (Clean Version)

~Chapter Twenty-Four~

Later that day, I received a phone call from my loving cousin. "How was today?" He asked me.

"I got a brace and went to work again with Darren," I said, closing my book, "What did you do?"

"We recorded the album. I also learned that Joe has been messing up some lyrics forever in No One Remembers Achmed so he learned that today. I captured the exact moment he learned that. Check your texts," Robert said. I heard his smile and grinned back.

"Ok. How is everyone surviving without me?" I asked.

"They're doing okay. Everyone misses you. Especially your boyfriend," Robert said. I leaned back and groaned.

"I don't think we're official yet."

"That's not what he said."

"Okay so it's official now?"

"I guess."

"Who did he tell?"

"Me," Robert said. I took a deep breath. "Go talk to him."

"Okay. See you soon!" I said, reluctantly hanging up. I finally called Clark.

"What's up?" He asked me.

"Not too much. How was the album recording?" I asked, walking up the stairs. I didn't need my older brothers hearing my conversation.

"Normal. Did your cousin tell you about Joe's colossal mistake?"

"Yes. Though colossal seems extreme," I said.

"Maybe a little bit. But it was fabulous."

"Just like Joe."

"True. Well, did you cousin also tell you...?"

"About our weird defining? Yes," I said.

"Yeah. I'm sorry. Did you want to—"

"I'm good with it. Fantastic in fact," I said.

"Wait really?" I heard his grin.

"Yeah." I picked at the carpet in my room before moving onto a Tangle® (A/N if you fidget I highly recommend this fidget I love it).

"Um, okay then. So, I'll see you next week," he said.

"See you too," I said, hanging up and plugging in my phone. I headed downstairs and found Mom cooking something.

"DareBear, go," she commanded Darren, who was trying to eat whatever she was cooking. She swatted her spatula in the general direction of his hand jokingly.

"Mom, please," Darren begged.

"No. Luna, you just have a gluten allergy, right?" Mom asked me. I nodded. "Good. You got that from me."

"And we missed out on it," Darren bragged.

"Shut up," I said.

"And I am sorry that all gluten-free bread falls apart," Chuck said.

"I don't like bread to begin with and gluten-free bread tastes like normal bread. I only like cornbread," I admitted.

"You are a monster! How do you not like bread!" Darren exclaimed.

"DareBear, stop being mean to your sister!" Mom exclaimed, waving her spatula in Darren's general direction.

"Well, how's your boyfriend doing?" Darren asked.

"You don't need to know about my love life," I said.

"I want to seeing as I'm seeing him soon," Darren said.

"But you'll survive without knowing," I said with a smile.

"You win!" Darren exclaimed in defeat as we sat down on the dinner table.

A/N: What a week it's been. Finals ended and I got my provisional driver's license. I also went to Barnes and Noble and picked up Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare. NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!!! Also, I can't believe I forgot to write it in my author's note, but Dylan got engaged! Congrats! So, that's what's been going on. Also, it's almost Christmas, which I love because we do all the fancy stuff on the 24th and then the 25th we spend in pajamas watching movies. However, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals comes out the 24th! I would probably get the digital download, except I spent all my money on books, so I have to watch it on YouTube. So, a lots has happened since I last uploaded! If I forget to upload, happy holidays!!! And happy viewing times!!!
