Maybe I can help y’all get there.” Zuri asks Leandro. “It’s 240 East Carrot Road.” Leandro says as he takes a paper from his dad’s hand. “Okay I know exactly where that

“Thanks Mom” I said then rolled my eyes, good thing mom didn’t see that. I wish sometimes to be alone or just with Sasha. I ate my waffles in complete silence. Sometimes I think mom and dad want their old little girl back, but as I tell them their little girl is gone and will forever be gone.

He better be passing by and not know where he is at otherwise I swear I will kick him in the….. Okay slow down Riles, figure out what he wants

I hugged him tightly. “It’s been too long!” I yell and he laugs. “I like the hair, you changed it up a bit since the last time I saw you.” He greeted me, I smiled and shook my hair. I had dyed it blonde and brown. I decided I need a change. “How’s Tate?” Ashton looked at me while I was driving. “He’s on edge because of the baby, but he’s good. Brooklyn?” I smiled and he chuckled. “She’s 4 months,” It was all he needed to say. “You guys are having another fucking baby! Oh my gosh!” I squealed as my car came to a stop. Ashton blushed and felt my stomach. I felt her kicking. “Do you know yet?” He asked and I

Eighner makes use of a tone and presents an usually unseemly topic in a compelling and comical light. His general claim is that it is possible to survive well outside the “housed” community of the average citizens. Eighner brings a perspective on scavenging for food and goods that differs from the typical knee-jerk reaction to dumpster diving. In his essay, Eighner discusses American waste as well as the true art of scavenging and the lessons he learned through this experience.

After finishing at the hospital the couple picked up the rest of their group for their tour around Washington, planned visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and Arlington National Cemetery. When they arrived at the hotel the couple found Gabby and her son waiting for them in her husband’s room. Since Frank was now the odd man out, he received a single room. Little JJ bounded out to the limo and grabbed his godfather in an all-encompassing hug around his neck, during which Jackson grimaced when JJ pulled and the reaction did not go unnoticed by Jackie. When she started to say something, Jackson waved her off with his good hand because he didn’t want to hurt the kids’ feelings. Once JJ released him Jackson tried to hide his discomfort from

Melissa placed Abigail in her high chair as she began to get her cereal ready. Abigail was not happy to be separated from her mother and began crying.

You are ok.” She handed her a spoon to play with. Abigail immediately grabbed for the spoon. She

“Hannah? Hannah! You have a new package in the mail!” Makenzie runs into my house, as she stumbles over my dogs, who are barking at her. “What do you mean my mail? And why were you looking in my mailbox,” I say humorously. Makenzie jumps over the couch, kicking my phone out of my hand, “We are going to Los Angeles!” A few weeks before, Makenzie and I entered a contest to win a free trip to a Justin Bieber concert, in Los Angeles. I open the package, and the first word I read was ‘Congratulations!’ I screamed as I ran to my closet to get my suitcase. Makenzie started to throw random clothes in my bag, and I quickly stopped her. “Why are you taking all the clothes out,” Makenzie said confused. “Don’t you remember who filled out the information with us?” Makenzie’s face dropped as she answered my question. “I told you not to bring Agustin and Jacob to the mall with us, now we have to spend hours on a plane with them, hearing them talk non-stop,” Makenzie confirmed. “I’m sorry, Makenzie, but they are our friends,” I say supportively. I go to call my other friends, telling them the outstanding news.

Complaining and complaining about how she doesn't like the food, or how she doesn't have enough space for her feet. Jamerson said, “All you need to do is relax and just enjoy the ride”. Kaitlyn responded with a sigh, “You don't get it my life is ruined. I have no wifi and I can't do anything on my phone, plus stay out of my business. I hate you just get out of my life”. Jamerson turned back around and thought to himself. She'll see when we get the granny and granpa's she gonna have fun, she'll forget about all her problems. Someday I'm not gonna be here, and Kaitlyn is gonna be all alone. Kaitlyn felt bad about what she said, but didn't worry about it, and just went to bed. Jamerson woke up and looked at the time, it was currently 2:57am. He woke because the plane started getting shaky, he looked down the aisle. He saw three flight attendants by the pilot's door, talking. Talking about something, Jamerson really wanted to go see what was going on. Jamerson thought that if he did, he knew that maybe he'd get in trouble. So he just thought he should stay put and everything would be

“Bye mommy and daddy, I love you!” said little Charlotte. Right before they left, she ran up to the door and gave them both a big hug. They returned the hug, squeezing her tightly, before walking out into the garage and starting the car. Charlotte looked out the window, watching her parents pull out of the driveway. Little did she know that she would never see her dearest parents ever again.

“Hello Sophia!” My mom said back to me, looking up from her computer while she was sitting on the couch. “I wanted to let you know that me and your dad have planned something very special and fun to do tonight!”
