Here We Go Again

Family

We stand there waiting for his sister to bored off the plane.

"Do you guys look alike?" I cough out.

"I'd assume so yes. We're brother and sister" he laughs.

"Well I mean some siblings don't look alike" I shrug. "Why are you always judging me ASSHOLE" I mutter.

"Me judging you. Jo literally think about that" he gives me a look I flip him off he laughs. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I take it out. Dylan's name pops up with a text.

Dylan: hey babe

Me: wassup

Dylan: still sick?

Me: unfortunately a cold lasts more than 2 days

Dylan: ya that sucks. I wanna hang out with you :(

I put my phone back into my pocket.

"I need a coffee so bad right now," Sam says.

"Dude same, I didn't get to finish mine this morning" I roll my eyes.

"We'll get it after," he tells me. "For my sick friend" he pulls me into him wrapping his arms around my shoulders I'm in front of him.

"Yeah, whatever" I wave him off. "You're warm and smell nice."

"You're obsessed with me" I hear the smirk in his words.

"Oh, you f*****g wish" I push him away from me. "Only like the warmth cause I'm sick dumbass" I state.

"Mm-Kay. Whatever floats your boat Jo" he sighs.

"You're a taint" I state.

"Thanks" he laughs.

"You're very welcome" I mock him from earlier. He looks at me for a minute without saying anything.

"What?" I asked.

"Finally she's here" he ignores me looking away shaking his head. Weirdo. I turn to see someone walking towards us smiling. She did look like him. She had ombré-ish hair from dark brown to lighter. She smiles seeing Sam.

"Sam!" She says and hugs him. She had a deeper voice.

"Dani!" He smiles hugging her. Sentimental!! They pull away. She looks at me. "Right! Dani this is Jo, Jo Dani" he says.

"It's great to meet you!!" She smiles. "Is it okay if I hug you?"

"Yeah no it would be totally fine I'm just deathly sick," I said.

"Yeah, so deathly sick that I didn't even get a cold by laying next to you" Sam rolls his eyes.

"f**k off" me and Dani both say and laugh.

"Oh thank god he has a girl-friend because who knows what type of weirdos he would be bringing to the house to play video games," she says to me. "Can you grab my bag?" She asks him and pulls me along with her.

"All his friends are mine so it doesn't matter" I shrug.

"All girl-friends?" She asks.

"No I hang out with guys, unfortunately, besides one girl," I said.

"Oh nice," she says. "I'm kinda like that" she shrugs. "So, don't tell him this but ya he's told me about you" she whispers I laugh.

"Yeah I know he's obsessed with me" I laugh.

"I honestly love you" She smiles. "So, are you guys like just friends?"

"Yeah, I have a boyfriend" I nod.

"Is he hot?"

"I'd like to think ya. He plays basketball" I say.

"Nice!" She says. "Those are the best."

"Ya he's alright" I sigh.

"What?" She laughs.

"I don't know honestly" I shake my head. "It's still early."

"Right. I get it" she nods.

She's really nice. And fun to be around. We get outside the airport. I cough into my sweatshirt. Then sneeze. Okay. I may have completely lied I didn't take my medicine.

"You're dumb Jo," Sam says when we get to the car.

"Ugh why?" I scoff.

"You like to me about taking your medicine. I'm not dumb" he said it like he read my mind.

"I forgot" I Kinda lie. I did but I said I took it before that so.

"Ya whatever, get in the car" he demands.

"b***h, I'll stand outside the car all day," I said.

"I'll leave you... get in both of you" he said getting in.

"He can honestly be such an annoying douche," I tell Dani she laughs.

"Yeah I know," she says. I get in the back seat Dani upfront.

"Here" he throws Tylenol at me from the front.

"Who keeps Tylenol in their car?" I question.

"Oh my god shut up and take it" he laughs starting to drive out of the airport.

"I can't shut up" I stick my tongue out even though he can't see.

"I can see everything you're doing Jo" he mutters.

"How about this" I flip him off. He does it back. "Hands-on the wheel dumbass!"

"Whatever. Anyways how's school been, Dani?" He asks I roll my eyes.

"Pretty good" she nods. "Almost come the year so a lot of exams."

"Trash," me and Sam say in unison. He looks at me through the mirror.

"Yeah, how about you guys? You Sam. With the new school and s**t?" She asks.

"Yeah it's fine" he shrugs.

"Fine b***h people were all up in his guts the day he came" I state Dani laughs.

"I'm not surprised. He's a social butterfly" she pats him.

"Don't touch me" He says. "Speaking of in my guts. You were one of them."

"You mean Caleb was? I don't recall likin you very much" I reply.

"Whatever floats your boat Jo" he smirks.

"Water floats my boat," I said he rolls his eyes.

"You're such a fuckboy" he tells me.

"Thank you" I smile. "Dani, did you know that Sam was super into fuckboys?" I asked.

"I did" she laughs with a nod.

"Also he's a suck-up" I state.

"Why?" She asks.

"My dads obsessed with him," I said. "Because SUCK UP!!" I yell.

"It's not sucking up. It's being me. I'm cool Jo deal with it" he says.

"He's also delusional!" I state more facts.

"Yeah, Sam. You do seem a little out of it" she says.

"You're both trash," he says.

"Pass me the aux please" I put my hand out Dani gives it to me. I plug my phone in and play my fave as always. PATD (panic at the disco)

"And the angst comes out," he says. "Good luck with this little drive Dani."

"Shut up, you know you're into it," I said.

"Sure" he nods.

"You can fool me Sammy" I point to him and sit back coughing.

~

I sip my coffee we finally get back into the city.

"Get out Dani," he says.

"Are you not coming in?" She asks confused.

"No our house was first, Jo's is like 2 minutes away that way," he says.

"Why can't she come in?" She asks.

"I'm sick!" I state.

"Who cares!" She waves it off. Sam looks at me. "It's not like you'll infest the house."

"Maybe" I cough out, it sounds deadly. "Sam's also deeply embarrassed by me."

"Who said?" He scoffs.

"b***h. I look like a raccoon. Who wouldn't be?"

"I wouldn't have taken you with me" He states.

"Ya whatever" I shrug.

"Just come in!" Dani says. "Haven't you met them yet?"

"No," I said.

"Dude come on" She gets out. I sip my cold coffee it helps my sore throat.

"Ya just come on" Sam turns the car off. I unbuckle grabbing my phone and getting out. It was warm out but I was cold even though I had a sweatshirt on. "You can grab your own suitcase," Sam says.

"Ya I was going to" she rolls her eyes.

"Come on Josephine.." he laughs.

"b***h that's not my name" my voice cracks mud sentence from the raspy-ness he laughs more.

"I know," he says. He opens the door. He puts his hand on my back pushing me into the house. "Geez you're like burning through your sweatshirt," he says.

"Really? I'm freezing" I laugh.

"We're home" He yells out. "Tylenol didn't help at all. Let's get you some Buckley's or some s**t" he tells me.

  "Dude I'll live" I wave him off.

  "Dani!!" His mom's voice travels done the small hall. Their house looked like mine. She comes in Dani just walks in also. "Ahhh!" They hug. "Hey sweetie" she smiles at her. She sees me confusion passing over her features.

  "Oh right. Mom this is Jo" he tells me.

  "Hi" my voice cracks again.

  "Sweetie are you okay?" She laughs. "You're wearing a sweatshirt it's 80 something degrees outside" she laughs. "My name's Lisa!"

  "Jo. Sam already said" I laugh. "Sorry, I'm sick."

  "Don't apologize. Did you take medicine?" She asks.

  "Tylenol" I answer. "I'm good" I laugh.

  "Sam go give her some Buckley's," she tells him.

  "Was planning on it" he says.

  "Where's dad?" Dani asks.

  "He's at work. He'll be back in like an hour or 2" she answers. Sam takes me to the kitchen.

  "Sit," he tells me.

  "You're being a bossy ass b***h today," I said.

  "Yeah, well sometimes you're hard to be with" he laughs going into a drawer getting out the Buckley's.

  "First of all, you too secondly, Buckley's is trash" I groan.

  "Don't be a child" he tells me.

  "Ugh," I mutter. He gives me a tablespoon and the Buckley's. "Thanks" I sigh. I fill the spoon and take it He hands me water I wash it down with the water. Ew.

  "Still cold?" He asks.

  "Yeah surprisingly" I laugh.

  "Let's go. I can give you a blanket or something."

  "You do know I can just go home," I said.

  "Why?" He asks.

  "Because I'm a sick person who needs to probably sleep or something" I shrug.

  "Just come with me" he rolls his eyes I get up and follow.

  "Where are you guys going?" Lisa his mom asks.

  "To get Jo more clothes," he says.

  "Oh, you're cold?" She asks.

  "Very" I nod.

  "You can lay down if you don't feel good," she says.

  "Mom don't worry" he laughs.

  "Yeah. I'm all good" my voice cracks.

  "Ok," she sighs.

I follow Sam upstairs. He goes into a room. I go in after. Pretty sure it was his. There was a bed a small closet. It was clean. He had a small TV in there and a gaming console. He had a small desk and a computer on it.

  "Want a blanket or another sweatshirt?" He asks. I sit on his bed.

  "It doesn't matter" I shrugged.

  "Sweatshirts are more efficient," he says. He goes into his closet and gives me a big sweatshirt of his.

  "Thanks," I said putting it over mine. "Why don't you have like posters or anything up?" I asked.

"I don't know. I just haven't done it. I haven't been here that long" he shrugs. He sits next to me. I lay back.

"I think I should get home. I wanna sleep" I laugh. "I can walk though."

"You aren't walking i***t" he shakes his head.

"It's like a couple of blocks down" I roll my eyes.

"Guys mom made breakfast kind of. Well, brunch" Dani walks in. "So come eat."

"Jo wants to go home she doesn't feel good" Sam says I nod.

"No!! I want to ask about your boyfriend!" She says.

"Ew, why?" I asked Sam laughs. "I'm not into that girly convo shit."

"Also leave her alone you're annoying," Sam says.

"Ok wow never said that" I state.

"Just eat first then you can go," She says.

"Am I You're being an annoying mom" Sam says.

"Nah I'm down to eat. Any day" I say getting up but feeling dizzy.

We all go downstairs into their kitchen. Lisa set the table with food on the plates and all.

  "Sweetie are you okay? You don't look so good" Lisa asks me.

  "I'm good" I put a thumbs up. "It's just the end of my sickness so I'm a little drowsy" I shrug.

  "Ya Jo's a big boy" Sam pats my head with a grin I push him off he laughs.

  "Get off of me you freak" I mutter.

  "I clothed you," he says.

  "Mm, be thankful I befriended you" I state.

  "Wow, didn't expect that one" he laughs. "Hurt."

  "You'll get over it" I shrug.

The food was great. She was a really good cook. Sam and I were now in his room playing video games.

  "Dude! We're on the same team here!" I state as he killed me again.

  "Right sorry" he laughs.

  "Mm, I'm sure" I nod.

  "Don't judge me. This tv isn't that big" he laughs.

  "I know you're doing it on purpose. You aren't dumb or bad at this" I said.

  "You're right. It's satisfying" he grins. I roll my eyes.

  "I'm sure it is" I nod. I see him on my screen and kill him. "You're right."

  "Thanks" he smiles sarcastically. The game ends.

  "Kay! I should get home. I still need to nap" I stand up. I take his sweatshirt off. "Might want to wash that."

  "Just throw it," he tells me.

  "Alright" I laugh and throw the sweatshirt where there already was a pile.

  "Let's go" he stands.

We get to his car and left. We got to my house 2 minutes later.

  "Thanks for driving me," I said. "And giving me medicine."

  "You're welcome for taking care of you more than you do yourself" he laughs. "See you tomorrow."

  "Yeah See ya. Drive safe" I said and got out. I go into my house and head up to my room to take a fat ass nap right away.
