Alex

“Hello Sydney, Australia!” I nearly shouted as I held my arms out and did a little spin as Becca and I exited the airport. I heard my sister giggle from next to me. I picked my suitcase back up off the ground and gave her a warm smile. “Okay, so I rented this house right on the ocean, and in the pictures it looks amazing. So let’s go!” I said with excitement. She clapped with joy as we started for one of the many taxi’s in front of us. “After you, my stunning sister.” I said with a laugh as I opened the taxi door.

“Why thank you my lovely brother.” She chuckled as she got in the car and I put our suitcases in the trunk, and hopped into the car, telling the driver where to take us. I had pretty much all the money I could need for this trip, seeing as I had been saving up cash since I was about ten years old. One of the perks of being good with money.

I looked out the window as the car drove and drove taking us to the place we would be living for the next two months. I heard my phone go off in my pocket and I pulled it out, I saw it was a text from Matt so I opened it up.

From: Matt
Hey, um, so there is no easy way to tell you this. But Jack is in the back lounge with the rest of the band doing drugs.

My heart dropped as I read the message. What the hell was Jack’s problem? He was doing perfectly fine, then when he goes on tour he feels the need to fuck it all up again? Y’know what, I’m not going to let this get me down. He won’t do that shit around our kids, well, I hope not at least. He will not ruin my trip with my lovely sister, but when I get home, hell is going to break thru the underground and I am going to be it’s new ruler.

The car pulled into a driveway and I looked up at the house, it was beautiful, a bit bigger than what we have now, and more than enough room for us two. And the pictures had not lied, it looks just like the house in them. “Let’s go in!” Becca said with excitement as we both got out of the car. She grabbed our suitcases as I paid the driver, walking over to her and taking my suitcase from her. “Come on! The woman that let me rent the house said the key is under the matt!” We both raced up to the door like children and I picked up the matt and grabbed the shining key from under it, and placed it into the lock.

We entered and were both shocked at how big and beautiful the house was. It looked more amazing than it did in the pictures, which I have to say is a plus. I looked over to my sister and she had the biggest smile on her face ever. “So, there is about four rooms here, and I already have our rooms picked out. But if you want to change your room you can. But, I get the room that’s the first one on the left upstairs.” I said with a laugh.

“Race ya up there?” She smirked.

“You’re on!” We both dropped our suitcases and ran to the stairs, pushing and shoving each other to see who wins. I can tell already that this trip is going to bring out the kids in ourselves, and have some much needed bonding time. Something we should have done from the moment we were born.

Notes

Sorry it's short and boring. The next chapter will most likely be a time skip to when Alex and Becca get back to Baltimore.
