10:30 am Saturday morning
JORDAN'S POV
I feel my bed dip. I open my eyes opens as arms wrap me. "Good morning." I mumble.
"Morning." Maddie whispers.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Just wanted to snuggle."
"Oh."
We lay silently for twenty minutes. Then my door opens silently, Mom walks in. "Hey, time to wake up."
"Technically, we are awake."
"Okay, smart ass it's time to get out of bed."
"But why?" I whine.
"Because it's almost eleven and it's nice outside. I thought we could take a walk-"
"I don't do exercise."
"Oh really, what do you think dancing and skateboarding are?"
"Simple. Dancing. I don't skateboard. I longboard. Big difference."
"Okay, well that's a form of exercise."
"Nooooo."
"Yes, anyways I thought we could take a little family walk, or whatever you want to call it, to Starbucks and then to the beach or mall."
I scream,"Beach."
while Maddie screams, "Mall!"
"Well it looks like we have a problem. It's two against one. Two for beach and one for mall. We'll have to bring Nick and Dallas into it."
Maddie and I groan at the same time then look at each other and bust out laughing.
"Okay, on three Jordan you scream for Dad. Maddie you scream for Dallas. I'm going to hide behind the door and scare them.
"One." Mom says from behind the door.
"Two." Maddie says.
"Three." I say drawing in a breathe.
At the same time maddie and I scream, "DADDY! DALLAS!" Then we listen to them run up the stairs.
"What's wrong?" They say rushing into the room. Mom slips out from behind the door and screams. Dad jumps and turns around and Dallas dashes to the corner and folds herself into a ball and screams, "What the fuck!"
Maddie, Mom and I all burst out laughing.
"It's okay." I mumble through a laugh.
"What do you guys want?" Dad asks.
"Mall or beach?" Mom asks.
"Mall." Dallas says standing up.
"Doesn't matter." Dad says.
"Okay two and two. Here are the choices: a sing off. Dance off. Or rock, paper , scissors, best three out of five."
"Dance off or sing off. Rock, paper, scissors is for babies." I say.
"Sing off, because a dance off wouldn't be fair since she is like a professional dancer." Maddie says.
"Very true, but you were raised by singers but I'm up for the challenge. You listen to me Delagarza, I will crush you." I argue and stick my tongue out at her. "What song?"
"You can choose the song you want to sing,"
"Okay, Maddie you gotta go first." I tell her.
"Can I see your phone." I unlock my phone then slide it over to her. She types in something. "Okay so the song is called 'Another Empty Bottle' by Katy Macallister. You want to listen to it first or do I just sing it?"
"Just sing it. " Mom says.

"Momma was a bit naive,
And her daddy was a blinded theft.
He went and stole away what was left of the remains a family.
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep.
And she lies tonight
Underneath caving roof
And she cries tonight wondering what she can do
And she tries tonight remembering who she once knew.
But they've died inside.
Another empty bottle takes a life.
This world can be so cruel
She lives her life as a broken tool and she believes she enable fix this broken machine.
Once they used to throw themselves at love.
But in the end it never seems enough to be able to get through all of life's broken dreams.
She's watched her father live in regret,
She heard mother cry in an empty bed
And she swears this is the best night yet.
Oh, and she lies tonight underneath the caving roof
And she cries tonight wondering what she could do
And tries tonight
But she's out of memories that once she knew.
And she dies inside
Another empty bottle takes a life
And every little bit
Every littler bit of wants to see the light
Oh but ever single night another a little bit of her dies inside
She's trapped in her mind
She feels more alive
She feels more alive in her own dreams
And she's wondering what's beyond the sky
Can she see the light if she falls asleep
Oh, cuz she feels more alive in her own dreams
So tonight she lies lifted up through her own roof
Dried eyes tonight
There's nothing more that she could do
And they cry tonight
a daughter they hardly knew
And she's lost in time
Another empty bottle takes a life. "
By the time Maddie finishes Dallas is in tears and everyone claps. I'm blown away but now it's my turn.
"My turn." I announce after a few minutes of silence. "I'm going to sing 'Where Ever You Go' by Ron Pope." I type it into my phone and begin to song,
