Madness

Chapter 35

Ash's P.O.V.

I wake up to be met by a random girl. I jump a little, but try to be polite; I slowly got off my favorite napping couch so that I wouldn't wake the girl. My ninja like escape quickly falls apart as I collapse on the floor like a dying whale. I groan, checking if I woke up the girl in black gym shorts, a blue tie dye shirt, and black socks; it's something that someone would wear to a road trip or to bed. Luckily I didn't; I took this as a thumbs up to try to find Mom, Benjamin, DD, or Michael. The first person I see is Michael, who is doing a few sketches in a leather journal which he uses as a sketchbook.

I walk up behind him, trying to get a glimpse of what he's drawing, "Hey Michael, where is everyone and who is that chick on the couch?"

He glances back at me, "That's Ben's daughter."

Before he could continue I yelled, "Ben having a daughter who would trust him to take care of a teenager!"

Michael chuckled then shushed me, "You'll wake her up lower your voice she just came from America."

I was still surprised, "I would expect you to adopt someone; you're the most responsible one out of all of them, but Ben!" I look back at the girl, "I don't think he's gonna be able to take care of her." It's true Michael is the most responsible and the calmest out of Ben, Mom, and DD. Ben is the most irresponsible. What has this man gotten himself into?

"Calm down, yeah he has some problems and is irresponsible, but we'll all be there to save the day because I know Ben won't be the most perfect parent on earth," I winced when he mentioned Ben's "problems" they are serious, and it just makes the situation worse.

"So where is everyone," I try to change the topic.

"Your Mom is outside talking to your Mum, Ben is cleaning the backroom, and I don't know where DD is," he shrugged at the last part. Of course my Mom is talking to my Mum; they'll never stop talking. It's kinda cute that they love each other so much, but it gets so annoying. DD walks into the shop holding two Starbucks trays that each have three coffees on them.

"Hey guys, I got everyone a coffee," he says, putting down the trays.

"But we're going to go eat soon," Michael states.

DD rolls his eyes, "That's why I got everyone a small, also Taylor needs it."

Michael nods, "True, she's been sleeping for about four hours now." DD walks over to Taylor lightly shaking her.

"Taylor, I brought you coffee," he says, while holding up a cup of coffee.

"Thank you, but I might not want it I'm very picky with my coffee," she said, sitting up while rubbing her eyes yawning a little.

"Shoot I thought you'd like everything in it so I put half a container of cinnamon, vanilla, and milk."

Taylor smiled sitting up quickly, "That's exactly how I like my coffee, thank you." She took it from his hands, and took a gigantic gulp.

DD's eyes go wide, "Taylor, slow down you'll burn and choke yourself," he says frantically.

Taylor giggled taking a big, but quick swig, "It's alright calm down I've trained for years, I'm not gonna die." Taylor couldn't stop laughing it was so contagious that I started giggling also. After about a minute it got really out of hand. Everyone was gathered around accept for Ben drinking coffee while Taylor and I were laughing uncontrollably.

I hear footsteps then Ben's voice, "We can go to din- what is going on?"
