Chapters 6-10

**Chapter 6**

An hour later, we left the building as a big group. The seven of us climbed into the limo together. We told the driver that we would like to go to some place to grab some lunch and he suggested Planet Hollywood, which was fine with us. Brian asked me what I would love to do while we would be here in New York. "The one thing I would love to do is to go and hang out in Times Square while they are taping TRL and hopefully get to go up and meet and hang out with Carson." I said. "My mom mentioned something about that and I already have planned for us to do that tomorrow." Brian answered with a smile on his face. "When will I get to meet my cousins?" I asked with curiosity in my voice. "You will meet aunt Ann, Gerald, Tim, and Kevin at dinner tonight." Brian replied. "Ok." I said. "The restaurant that we are going to tonight is sort of a more formal restaurant, so you needed to be dressed up." Brian stated. "That is fine, because mom had told me to pack something dressy to wear." I replied. Soon we had reached Planet Hollywood. The men got out first. My birth father, Harold Jr., held out his hand for my birth mother, Jackie, and she climbed out of the limo. My adoptive father held out his hand and helped my adoptive mother. Brian held out his hand to me and helped me out. He put his arm around my shoulder and the two of us walked together with the others into the restaurant. We walked into the restaurant and told the server that there were 7 of us and that we would like non-smoking.

All through out lunch, we all talked about things. Many things were decided through talking. The decisions were going to affect me in a big way, as I would soon find out. First, they had decided that I would move all my stuff down to Lexington as soon as the first semester of my junior year ended since I was truthfully a Littrell. Second, my mother had already decided that she wanted me to homeschool the rest of my high school years, or at least the rest of my junior year, because she had already hired a tutor for me, who would start as soon as my first semester was done. She hadn’t decided on my senior year yet and I think she would let me decide after I got close to finishing off this year. Third, she wanted me to spend quality time with my brother Brian and my cousin Kevin, so me and my tutor would be traveling with the boys for at least the rest of my junior year. I was fine with all of those things. I knew that it would be interesting to see what tour life was like. Besides, I knew that since Brian and I looked some what alike, I figured that we might like some of the same stuff. The last thing that was decided was that I would still be allowed to visit my adoptive parents whenever I wanted to. I liked that too because I still cared about them since they were the ones that had basically raised me from birth.

After lunch, we went out and climbed back into the limo. We decided at lunch that we all wanted to go back to the hotel and swim for awhile before we had to shower up and get dressed to go out for dinner. In no time at all, the limo stopped. Everyone climbed out of the limo and walked into the hotel. We headed up to the suites to go change. We agreed to meet at the pool in 15 minutes. My adoptive parents and I walked into our suite. I walked into my spacious room in the suite. I opened up my suitcase. I looked through it and I pulled out my baby blue/dark blue two piece, which was a halter top styled top and boy cut shorts, from my suitcase. I went into the bathroom and changed into it. I added my see through wrap-around skirt and put my long hair back into two pigtail braids. I walked out of the bathroom and slipped on my sandals as I grabbed my towel and my goggles off of my bed. I walked out of my room and told my adoptive parents that I was ready. A few minutes later, they were ready. We made sure that we had room keys and then we headed out of the door of the suite. We followed the signs on the walls and we reached the pool in no time. My mom, my dad, and my brothers Harold and Brian were already there when we walked in. I set my towel down on a chair, slipped off my sandals, and then removed my see through wrap-around. I went over to the pool and got in. I put my goggles over my eyes and swam underwater over to where Brian was, which was in the deep end. I went to the bottom, right under Brian and I pulled on his feet to try and pull him underwater.

After an hour of swimming, we were all tired and ready to get out. I climbed out and walked over to the chair my stuff was on. I took my goggles off of my head, set them on the chair, then grabbed my towel, and dried myself off. After I dried myself off, I put my see through wrap-around skirt back on and slipped my sandals back on. We walked out of the pool area and headed back to the suites so that we could all get a shower in and get changed for dinner. We walked into our suite. I went into my room and laid out the clothes and accessories that I was planning to wear tonight. I walked into my bathroom and climbed into the shower. I took a nice shower and then climbed out. I dried my body off and then I blow-dried my long hair. I went and got dressed. I put on a short navy blue dress with spaghetti straps. I added my new navy blue platform slides on my feet. I put my favorite locket on around my neck. I then placed my hoop earrings into the 3 holes(2 in my left, one in the cartilage. 1 in the left) in my ears. I added my special watch.

After I finished dressing, I went into the bathroom, did my make-up, and did finishing touches to my hair. I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my purse off of the bed, and walked out of my bedroom. "I am ready," I announced. My adoptive parents walked out of their room. They were ready also. Just then, there was a knock at the door. I went to the door and looked out the peep hole to see who it was. It was Brian and he looked great. I opened the door. "Hey bro." "Hey Brianna. Ready to go?" he asked me. "Yes," I answered as I motioned to my adoptive parents to tell them that it was Brian at the door. "Let’s go then," he said as he offered me his arm. I took his arm and walked out of the room with my adoptive parents following close behind. When we had reached the elevators, we were greeted by our parents and brother. "Mom when are we going to meet up with my aunt and cousins?" I asked. "They are meeting us at the restaurant." Jackie replied. The elevator arrived and the seven of us got in. We headed down to the lobby and got out when the elevator stopped. We walked out of the building and found a limo waiting for us. We got into the limo and Brian told the driver where we were headed.
