Chapter 19
It was getting dark out so they all decided
to go back to the hotel. They all piled into Matt's jeep and headed home.
All of them weren't that tired so they all decided to go to Leah and Jeff's
room and watch movies. Of course, as always Jeff had to pay for them. It
didn't bother him though because he was with family.
In the hotel
room..................................................................
As Matt and Jeff playfully faught about
what movies they wanted, Colleen and Leah decided to "catch up" a
little.
"Leah, do you mind if we talk a little
and get to know each other a little more?" Colleen asked with a little
hesitation in her voice.
"No I don't mind at all, I would love
to get to know you better." Leah replied as a smile started to form
across her face.
"Good, I'm glad. Do you remember our
parents at all?" Colleen asked and they both went to go and sit on the
couch to be more comfortable.
"Actually I do, just a little though.
They loved us very much." Leah replied still looking at her sister with
loving eyes.
"Well I am glad you do becuase I can
only remember how they died. At first I was really upset and I closed off form
everyone, well at least that is what my foster parents told me. I still can't
believe that they were killed by a drunk driver. All they wanted to do was
have a night out, a night away from us kids and look what happened."
"I know, I know, it was really hard
and bad the way that they died, but we got through it. All is good now."
Leah said trying to console her sister.
"Anything else that you would like to
talk about right now?" Leah asked wanting to get to watching the movies.
"No, I am just glad we got to talk
about what we did." Colleen responded as she go up to give her sister a
hug.
"I'll be right in to watch the
movies." Leah told her sister as she sat back down.
Sister. It was fun saying that word.
In a nutshell life was good.
In the Livingroom................................................
"Have you two numbskulls pick out
any movies to watch yet?" Colleen asked as she went and sat down on the
big chair in the corner.
Not soon after she said that Leah walked in
and sat in the middle of the couch.
"Yes, as a matter of fact we
have." Jeff said as he sluged his brother in the shoulder one last
time.
"Well out with it then."
Both sisters said in unsion.
"Well for some comedic relief we have
"Meet The Parents" and for those of you in the audience that
would like to shed a tear once and a while we have "Titanic"."
Matt said as he bowed but was elbowed in the stomach again by his brother for
being such a weirdo.
"Sounds good to me, I haven't even
seen "Meet the Parents" so I think that I would like to watch that
one first, I would love a laugh." Colleen said smiling at Matt as he was
wincing in pain.
"Ya, I would like to watch that one
first too." added Leah.
"Well alrighty then, Meet The
Parents it is." said Matt as he put the tape in the VCR.
Matt went over to Colleen and sat with her
as Jeff did the same thing with Leah. The was starting and everyone
in the room was comfortable.
