Just a kid

ROXIE: Thank you for coming and watching me film the other day.

ROXIE: It was so nice to have you there.

AIDEN: I like being BTS.

Marley smiled at her brother, flopping on the couch and leaning her head on her brother’s shoulder - her happy place ever since she was a little girl, her safe place. It didn’t matter what was going on in the outside world as long as she had his shoulder and Savannah’s hand to hold. If she had those two things, nothing could ever touch her.

“Ummm, I think ‘Finding Dory’ is finally on cable if we wanna just watch that? I mean, I know that I saw it like, four times in the theater but…I mean,” she laughed. “I mean, c’mon, you gotta love it.”

Aiden smiled when her head hit his shoulder. If it were up to him, they’d probably be watching golf reels, but he knew better than to subject his sister to that. He was honestly just glad to be hanging around his sister. 

“Finding Dory it is. I’m more of a Finding Nemo person but Dory will do. And you have to let me talk during the movie, that’s the deal, Marley Jane. Take it or leave it.”

But on the bright side the weekend is almost here.

I’m really confused as to why someone would even make that an ad. That’s sort of gross. 

“Hey Marls, I literally have no idea what we’re watching because I don’t think anyone has those Brady Bunch movies and by anyone, I mean Netflix.” The teen then shoved a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “If you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.”

I’d love to. Maybe we can take over the living room tonight and marathon? I need some company. Maybe I don’t, but that won’t stop them. I mean, they went after Mason’s family - it’s…clear that they’re out for blood.

Yes, as long as I can have popcorn, I’m in. Heck, even if I didn’t have popcorn, I’d still be in. I could use some company too. Why though? They’re targeting the wrong people. You’re one of the best people I know.

I’ve only seen it once or twice, really, but if you wanna watch it we can. Nothing about them makes any sense, like, I’m fine now, I was a little bit eh, but now I’m fine. I just think it’s wild that whoever it is seems to literally hate my guts.

I sorta like the parody movies better. We should watch those, they’re pretty funny. Jealousy is the best form of flattery, or in this case hate. I hope you know that this isn’t okay. None of it’s okay, Marley. No one should ever make you feel like eh. Ever. You don’t deserve that.

You’re welcome, though it’s what any decent person would suggest - I think people should step back and think about how their actions affect other people.

I agree. But I also don’t think a lot of teens really realize their actions, until they’re a lot older. It kinda sucks but it’s also the reality. 

TY: Deal.

What is up you beautiful ladies and guys. The Weston has finally got on of these things and I have to say it’s still pretty lame besides the pretty faces I see. 

I don’t think it’s lame. What’s lame is wearing your pants down to your knees, that’s lame.

School? Over it. Cold weather? Over it. Exams? Over it. All I’m asking for is a break and decent weather. It’s really not too much and I’ve been good. I have definitely deserved it by now.

What’s the difference between school and exams? Asking for science, I swear. I only think you deserve it if you’ve been eating veggies. Have you been? 

Finn: I saw Jesus in my grilled cheese...

I’m not really sure what that list is all about, it’s confusing really. For starters, why am I at the bottom of the list, I should be top ten. I thought we went over this already? and Second of all, why in the world do I need to buy friends? Seems like a waste of money if you ask me.

I think the list is pretty random, if they wanna gossip about you, they’re going to put you anywhere they can. I’m really sorry it’s happening though.

Anyway, I’m not the first to have parent issues around here and I won’t be the last. But not having a mother in my life hasn’t stopped me. So, whatever. Hope your little quest to be an annoying little shit paid off.

I don’t get why someone’s doing this. Or people, there could be multiple people. It’s just rude and inconsiderate and just not nice. 

THINGS TO DO INSTEAD OF FUCKING AROUND WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S FAMILIES:

Learn a new hobby

Read a book

Call your state representative to talk about issues that are important to you

Make protest signs, then go to protests for things you care about. Clean water, for example - did you know that Flint, Michigan has been without clean water for 2+ years?

Literally anything else.

It costs $0 to not be an asshole!

This, this, this. It costs 0 Dollars to be a decent human being. Thanks for this pot, it’s amazing. 

TY: 20 bucks?

ROXIE: I said to much didn't I? I will tone down on it. Its fine.

ROXIE: Then you can totally do that. I am filming tonight and on Tuesday if any of those days work for you.

AIDEN: You're good, you're good. I swear.

SURE JAN. I love you, I’m just teasing, Aiden Andrew. Also - when I know exactly what’s going on with date night, I’ll tell you. Mason’s upset over the list stuff, so I’m there right now - date night is taking a backseat to taking care of him.

Do you like the Brady Bunch? We can watch that together, honestly. Is everything okay? For you too, I mean. I didn’t understand it, the list I mean. I just don’t get the hints it’s trying to produce. I don’t even know why they’re making things up.
