Home or something like that

"Yay, we finally made it. Looks like we need to celebrate"

Becca proposed

"I've drunk too much in the past few days, my head still hurts, so I'm going to say no"

Beth groaned

"I'm in"

Nathaniel laughed

"I don't drunk"

Sage announced

"Why not"

Melania answered. Daniel shook his head

"You need to make a right turn now, and then a left immediately. Nathaniel"

Beth navigated Nathaniel, he followed her navigations and stopped in front of a small house, with a sign saying 'Ericson Home' in the front lawn. Beth hopped out of the car.

"Stay here I need to do a few things"

She then walked up the path and inside the house.

"Hi is Mr. Ericson here"

She asked a young man sitting on a table in the entrance

"Yeah, my father is through that door"

He pointed to a door

"But he's"

He started, Beth ignored him and went through the door

"In a meeting"

He sighed. As Beth opened the door she saw two older men talking to each other.

"Hi I called and you said I should come in"

Beth stated

"Mason I said not to let anyone in here"

He firmly told his son

"Sorry dad but she walked in before I could stop her"

Mason groaned

"Ok you know what, I'll come in later, she seems very persistent"

The other man said while grabbing his hat and coat and walking out the door

"Ok Mason you may leave now and lock the door, I don't want this to happen again"

He instructed. Mason rolled his eyes and left the room. Beth heard the lock click before turning back to face Mr. Ericson.

"Hello, welcome Ms. Fletcher"

He greeted

"Hi, Mr. Ericson"

"So we talked on the phone and I understand your situation. Don't worry I won't rat you out. No you said you wanted the house by the river, so I just need you to sign a few things. I must say it's nice seeing you again"

"Yeah you too, I would also like to ask you a few questions about our privacy"

"Sure go ahead"

"Umm so well I'm not eighteen yet is that a problem, I turn eighteen in ten days though"

"No you're fine just as long as you pay the money on time, so here are the papers. Just sign here, and here, here and lastly here. Here are your keys and everything you need to know, you have my number in case anything happens. Oh and the house comes fully furnished because the old owners didn't take their furnishings, but you already know that. Anyway for the next few weeks I won't be here so my son will be in charge"

Mr. Ericson gave Beth everything she needed and showed her out of the room

"Bye Mr. Ericson"

"Bye Beth, it was nice seeing you"

He shut the door and now Beth was in the entrance with Mason

"So you're the infamous Beth"

Mason greeted

"Can't say I've heard of you"

Beth scoffed, before leaving through the front door.

"Ok guys I have the keys and some other things, so let's go"

Beth showed Nathaniel the address, got back in her seat and Nathaniel drove off. After 20 minutes of driving they arrived

"Oh this looks amazing, can't believe I've finally made it"

Beth smiled

"You mean we've made it"

Melania corrected

"Yeah, yeah same thing"

"Ok Love can you please come out, you have the key, the only key. So hurry the fuck up"

Nathaniel yelled from the front porch

"Ok love can you please come out, you have the key, the only key, so hurry the duck up"

Beth mocked, then she got out of the car and the others followed

"Here"

Beth opened the door, a huge smile spread across her face.

"I've made it"

She whispered in her breath

"Ok so it's got four bedrooms, one office aka another bedroom, four bathrooms, the garden has a river I wouldn't go swimming in there, the kitchen is kinda small for our standard, there's a breakfast nook so cute, no dining room, the living room has no tv, why have I never told you guys about the house, you just all immediately agreed. Anyway there is Wifi, the password is in here somewhere and I think that's, no all bedrooms have double beds and that's all I can think about right now"

Beth explained the house

"Five bedrooms, seven people. Me and Sage can share it's not like we haven't been doing that the whole time, so that's four bedrooms six people, Daniel and Nathaniel as only boys will share. Three bedrooms, Four people. Becca, Quinn you share, Beth you're on your own"

Melania proposed and everyone agreed

"Everyone get their stuff, we'll meet back in half an hour after they decorate with the stuff we have"

Becca stated and everyone went to the car to get their things. They decorated their rooms. Nathaniel set up his photo on his nightstand. After thirty minutes everyone was downstairs. Daniel started to tell everyone what they still needed to do.

"We need groceries"

"And vodka we're out"

Becca chimed in

"Thank you for adding that Becca, we also need clothes, chargers, new phones and laptops, bottled water, hair products, toothpaste, toothbrush, soaps, laundry detergent, face products, anything else?"

Daniel finished

"Yeah, I need a cream. Like a specific cream"

Beth added

"I need a uhh gel for my uhh hair, it's a specific kind"

Nathaniel thought up

"Ok so, Nathaniel and Beth you're going into town together, Beth you'll use the fake ID I gave you at the gas station"

Melania decided, before giving them some money

"But, but, no. Ugh fine"

Beth stuttered. She instructed Nathaniel to put on his shoes, so that they could leave

"We're walking, I've had enough of the car"

Beth told him. Beth started to walk to the town with Nathaniel trying to keep up to her pace.

"Hurry up, we don't have all day. Plus the shops close soon and I really need this cream because mine is empty, and since when do you use hair gel, your hair is always super messy plus didn't you get hair gel at the shop in Las Vegas"

Beth confronted

"Yeah I don't need the hair gel. I said that because I need to talk to you and otherwise you would just run away"

"Who's to say I won't run away here"

Beth hit back before getting into a sprint. Nathaniel groaned a smile formed but quickly disappeared as he started to run to catch up to Beth. After chasing her he finally caught up to her, to stop her from continuing to run he held his arms around her waist.

"What the hell are you doing"

Beth snapped, she broke free of his grip but didn't run. They both walked alongside each other.

"Can I continue talking"

"Go ahead, I probably won't listen but sure the microphone is yours"

"I know you won't accept this apology but I don't know what got over me that day, I was mad about my grandpa, my emotions got a hold of me and I snapped. What I said was uncalled for"

"Very"

Beth interrupted

"Yeah whatever"

"Ok we're at the store you get the groceries, toothpaste and toothbrush and some bottled water, I'll get the soap, shampoo and conditioner, cool"

And so Beth left Nathaniel to get the things she was getting. Nathaniel looked sad that he couldn't finish but he put on a smile and got his groceries. Nathaniel was finished, so he went to look for Beth. He found her by the creams.

"Why are you looking at creams for bruises"

He asked her

"What the hell are you doing here"

"I was done, did you think I wanted to be any longer with you then needed"

"Well I'm done so we can leave"

"Don't you want to get that cream you were looking at"

Beth rolled her eyes and walked back, she shamefully put the cream in her cart. They went over to the registers and brought the things. The whole walk home was quiet, Nathaniel would often open his mouth as if he wanted to say something up nothing came out. Once they walked into the house Beth quickly put her bags down and ran to her room.

"What's wrong with her?"

Becca asked while unpacking the stuff Beth and Nathaniel had brought.

"I don't know, maybe she's tired"

Nathaniel shrugged

"Yeah probably, I mean it is 11pm"

"Yeah so we should go to sleep as well, where is everyone anyway"

"Sage is reading in the garden, Melania is sleeping, Quinn is keeping Sage company and Daniel decided to go jogging like 10 minutes ago"

"At 11pm, he must really want to do sport"

"Yeah he was saying something like I need to catch up on my training"

"Seems like something he would say, well I'm going to go to sleep."

"So you're not going to drink with me"

Becca cried

"I've been driving all day, I'm dying"

"Fine, tomorrow"

"Yeah, night"

"Night"

Nathaniel headed up to his room, Becca shortly followed.

"What book are you reading?"

Quinn asked Sage

"Little Woman"

"That's a nice book"

"Yeah one of my favourites"

"It's not one of my favourites bit it's good"

"So what are some of your favourites"

"One of us is lying, Pride and Prejudice and a good girl's guide to murder are the first that come to mind"

"Yeah, they're not really my types of books, but pride and Prejudice is good"

"It's nice to have someone around that likes to read"

"Yes, none of my friends back home appreciate a good book"

"My friend wasn't really a reader"

"Not many people I know read, like I know a few, one or two but not many"

"Reading is going extinct"

They both laughed, said goodnight to each other and left to go to sleep. At this point Daniel had come back and he showered and then also headed off to sleep.

The next morning Sage was up bright and early. She had made everyone breakfast, showered and planted the seeds she had brought. At 7am Nathaniel came down the stairs.

"Did you make breakfast it smells super good down here"

"Yeah, I made fruit bowls with yogurt"

"Thanks"

He grabbed a bowl and unhailed the food. Then the doorbell rang

"I'll get it"

Sage screamed running to the door

"Hello, a delivery for a Aurora"

The delivery man said

"A Aurora"

Sage sounded shocked

"Thank you, that's my roommate and she's always ordering packages"

Sage took the package and quickly signed that she had gotten the package.

"Who's Aurora?"

"Oh thanks for taking in that package"

Beth thanked walking down the stairs, she grabbed the package and opened it.

"I bought everyone an IPhone and a MacBook"

Beth declared

"Did you make breakfast?"

Beth then asked. Sage shook her head. Beth grabbed a bowl and took a few bites before saying she was full. Eventually everyone had made it downstairs, had breakfast and set their phones and laptops up. They also decorated the house to the best of their abilities, they brought the rest of the stuff they needed online.

"Well it looks like home, or something like it. I mean I can't say much"

Becca smiled after putting up the last poster they had brought from one day delivery.

"Yeah, it feels more like a home then a house"

Melania added.

"Ok so now that we're done, I'm going to do some yoga outside, so can no one disturb me, please. Thank you!"

Beth announced, she grabbed her new phone and went outside.

"Okay"

Melania answered. The doorbell rang again

"I'll get it"

Sage replied and ran to the door

"An order for a Aurora"

The man told Sage and gave her the box

"Thank you, have a nice rest of your day"

Sage shut the door

"How many packages has Beth ordered, this is the fourth time she's ordered something without telling anyone"

Nathaniel hissed

"Yeah let her, she brought in some of the most money. Plus Beth is smart, I'm sure she's doing this for a reason."

Daniel defended Beth

"I'll give it to her, she probably won't snap at me for interrupting her yoga time"

Daniel volunteered, he then grabbed the package and slowly walked to the garden, his breath was shaky, his hands were shaking.

"Beth, you have a package"

He quickly placed it in the floor and sprinted back inside

"I'm not that fucking scary, geez."

Beth screamed from outside,she stopped her yoga to open up the package

"Yay it arrived"

She ran into the house

"Here, I got Sage some things for her new Etsy shop, also stuff she can make to sell. I must say Amazon ships fast"

Beth gave Sage the things she brought and then went back out to the garden

"Why did she only get Sage something?"

Melania asked

"Well everyone knows that I was going to do this once we arrived, you guys should maybe get things that you want to sell to get money, cause we need it"

Sage explained, then ran over to the kitchen table to open all the packages and to get started. Inside was a piece of paper with an Etsy account and password, some small bottles, boxes to ship the stuff off, there were some wires to create earrings, some smaller objects to create the earrings. She immediately grabbed her phone and signed into the account. Sage started to create stuff out of the things Beth had brought her. Daniel and Melania decided to go jogging together, Quinn decided to sign everyone up for online school, Becca got her Insta account started and uploaded some photos she had taken. She also went around their property and took photos and Nathaniel helped Sage.
