Gracies POV (5 Years Old)

I jumped up and down on my bed excitedly as I giggled loudly to my self,

"Please don't jump on your bed Gracie" Will said as he walked in with a small pile of my folded clothes. I ignored his request and continued to bounce around "Gracie" he said in a bid to get my attention,

"But it's fun" I exclaimed as I continued to jump,

"It's not gonna be fun if you break your neck" he commented "down" he repeated and I finally did as I was told with a sigh,

"What am I meant to do now?" I asked as I rocked back and forth on the balls of my feet,

"You've been out all afternoon" he sighed "why don't you go and watch some tv or something?" He suggested,

"That's boring" I said over dramatically "I've a better idea!" I exclaimed as I skipped out of my room and over to Jays before climbing up on to his bed and beginning to jump up and down.

"Gracie" Will scolded once he located where I had ran off to "get down right now" he insisted,

"But you said to get off my bed" I said matter of factly "this isn't my bed!" I said certainly.

"You know what I meant" he replied, shaking his head "c'mon, get out of here" he instructed.

"Can we go to the park?" I asked as I walked under Wills outstretched arm and he closed the door behind me,

"It's almost dinner" he told me "now go and watch tv" he ordered "and no more jumping on things" he added as I ran in to the living room and cannonballed on to the couch.

I sat staring blankly at the TV for a few minutes before I felt like I couldn't sit still any more. I hopped off the sofa and threw the pillows on to the floor,

"What're you doing?" Will asked as he walked in just as I was about to hop from the first pillow to the second,

"Playing a game" I said as I made the jump from the second pillow to the third.

"Just be careful ok" he said before leaving the room with more folded laundry. I continued my game for the next twenty minutes or so but eventually it became boring. I ran off to the hallway. I opened up the cupboard that was filled with outdoor toys and messy things and stood in from of it for a minute to contemplate my options. I finally decided that I would practice my jumprope skills. I spotted it up on the top shelf and reached up on my tiptoes, but my fingers didn't even skim it. Great. I grabbed hold of the second shelf and pulled myself up. I stretched above my head and grabbed on to the first thing my hands touched.

"What in gods name are you doing Gracie?" A voice said from behind me. I felt a pair of hands hook under my arms and lift me so I was standing back safely on the floor. I looked up to see Jay. Huh. I guess he must've walked in when I was busy with my plan.

"I was trying to reach my jumprope" I told him as he shut the doors,

"Right, well first you can't have that inside the house" he said "and second don't climb on things that you could either break or could break you" he lectured.

"But I'm boreddddd" I complained,

"Didn't you go out with Natalie and Owen this afternoon?" He asked and I nodded,

"And guess what" I said excitedly,

"What?" He questioned,

"Natalie gave me kool aid" I said with a cheeky smile.

"Oh for th-" he cut himself off before he could continue "that explains a lot" he commented "Will" he shouted to out eldest brother "did Nat not no about the whole 'no kool aid' rule?" He questioned and a look of realisation flashed in his eyes,
