"Wake up darlin'." Ashley whispered in my ear "We have to finish Jade's room today." We have been working on her room for 3 days and right now were are almost done. I hope we finish today because I don't know how much longer Sammi can entertain her without killing her. I look at my alarm clock and it says 4:04 A.M. "You owe me for waking me up at this ungodly hour." I mumble to no one in particular. I get outta bed and go into Jade's new room to see the rest of the guys still in their pajamas putting the finishing touches on her room like making her bed and organizing her books.

We finished just as the sun started to rise. I couldn't go back to sleep like the guys so I took a shower, made breakfast and started thinking about my birthday ,which is in a week, and school -I shuddered at the thought of that dreadful place- and how it starts soon. Whoop-te-freakin-do! l thought to my self as Jake and Ashley came down the stairs "Morning Da-Ashley!" That was a close one, I almost called Ashley dad... Well he did sign the papers, Oh look I'm arguing with myself, AGIAN! I'm losing my mind. Back on topic, Ashley didn't seem to notice Jake however is a different story because he texted me. {J= Jake and I= Independence}

J- YOU ALMOST CALLED ASH DAD!

I- Well, at least we know that you aren't deaf..

J- HEY!

I- Fine I almost called him dad. There. HAPPY?!

J- For such a small girl you sure are hostile. You that right?

I- I've always been hostile!

J- Hey I 'm not arguing.

I- I'm surprised that someone didn't notice the 2 of us texting each other even though we are in the same room. Maybe we should stop this convo. before

a) I end up leaping across the table to hurt you or

b) some one notices. oh and this convo. NEVER happened, got it?
J- Got it.

We ended right as Sammi walked the front door and Jade came down. No sooner had they got in the kitchen did Jinxx, CC, and Andy walked down the stairs with wet hair. We ate and I took Sammi to see Jade's new room. "This is beautiful" she said looking around "Yea, the guys and I finished it earlier this morning." I said "I noticed that you and Jake were glaring at each other. What happened?" She asked and I explained every thing to her "Wow. I'm surprised that Ashley didn't notice your little slip." She said we walked back down the stairs to find a blindfolded Jade waiting at the bottom of the stair case "Okay I want Sammi and Indy to lead me up the stairs. I trust them the most." She paused "Actually no. Just Sammi. Indy will run me into a wall by 'mistake'" "Hey, no that happened once and it was on accident...maybe" I mumbled. CC was the only one who heard the last part so when he started laughing everyone looked at him like he was crazy.

Sammi lead Jade up the stairs and down the hall. I opened the door and we took her blind fold off and the first thing that she said was "HOLY (insert swear word of your choice here)! THIS IS AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!" She screeched in my ear. "Kassie! Stop screaming in my ear!" I said to Jade and she says "Sorry about that and don't call me Kassie!" Every one laughed at us and we both turned around and glared while telling the all to shut up, we looked at each other for a while then we both screamed while tears of joy ran down her face and she hugged me.

A COUPLE DAYS LATER- {Indy's outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=93384090 }

I am about to lose my ever loving mind. In the past 3 days I've almost called Ashley Dad 8 times and every one but Ash has noticed. It always gets awkward when ever we are all in the same room because 6 out of 8 of us are looking at me like they expect me to call him dad and they are always right because I will start to call him dad the stop half way through.
One day Andy and CC decided that Ashley and I needed some 'daddy daughter bonding time' as CC put it and not like the last daddy daughter 'bonding' moment that we had where it turned into WW3. Andy had said that he was going to go with us and then he said that he wasn't feeling well. He was lying through his dang teeth and I knew it { A- Andy, I- Independence}

I- Andrew Denis Biersack, you're lying through your dang teeth and you and I both know it!

A- You're very wise young one.

I- Stop being dramatic.

A- I'm not being dramatic! and besides you and Ash need to have some daddy daughter bonding time without it turning into a full on war zone. Pwease for me. *bambi eyes*

I- *sigh* Fine.

"YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!" Andy yelled after he read my response and if looks could kill Andy would be so dead right now. While I was glaring at him while the rest of the mob looked at him like he was crazy. "Well, Da-ASHLEY! It looks like it's just you and me." I said a bit frustrated and he still didn't notice. Um, oblivious much? "Okie Dokie." Da- Ashley said pulling on his boots. See I did it again! Any who, I walked over to him grabbing the keys that he forgot to grab and walked out the door.

We got in the car and he drove to Texas Roadhouse. Yum my favorite. Once we got there I practically ran to the door. With Da-Ashley,dang it!, walking behind me. We got to our both and I was snacking on some fresh rolls and cinnamon butter and that's when he said "So I have heard you slip up and almost call me dad" crap. "and I would love for you to call me dad." Wait what? Did he just say? Did I hear right? He laughed and said "Yes you heard right." I said that out loud didn't I? ''Once again yes." he says with a smile. Long story short we order, we eat and we pay. As we were walking out I started to sing the song that was playing which just so happened be 'Wolf creek pass' which was, from what miss Kate told me, my real dads favorite song.

Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens on a flatbed out of Wiggins, and we'd spent all night on the uphill side of thirty-seven miles of hell called Wolf Creek Pass. Which is up on the Great Divide.

We was settin' there suckin' toothpicks, drinkin' Nehi and onion soup mix, and I said, "Earl, let's mail a card to Mother then send them chickens on down the other side. Yeah, let's give 'em a ride."

Wolf Creek Pass, way up on the Great Divide
Truckin' on down the other side

Well, Earl put down his bottle, mashed his foot down on the throttle, and then a couple'a boobs with a thousand cubes in a nineteen-forty-eight Peterbilt screamed to life. We woke up the chickens.

Well, we roared up offa that shoulder sprayin' pine cones, rocks, and boulders, and put four hundred head of them Rhode Island reds and a couple a' burnt-out roosters on the line. Look out below; 'cause here we go!

Well, we commenced to truckin' and them hens commenced to cluckin' and then Earl took out a match and scratched his pants and lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar and took a puff. Says "My, ain't this purdy up here."

I says, "Earl, this hill can spill us. You better slow down or you gonna kill us. Just make one mistake and it's the Pearly Gates for them eight-five crates a' USDA-approved cluckers. You wanna hit second?"

Truckin' on down the other side

Well, Earl grabbed on the shifter and he stabbed her into fifth gear and then the chromium-plated, fully-illuminated genuine accessory shift knob come right off in his hand. I says, "You wanna screw that thing back on, Earl?"

He was tryin' to thread it on there when the fire fell off a' his cigar and dropped on down, sorta rolled around, and then lit in the cuff of Earl's pants and burned a hole in his sock. Yeah, sorta set him right on fire.

I looked on outta the window and I started countin' phone poles, goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power. Well I put two and two together, and added twelve and carried five; come up with twenty-two thousand telephone poles an hour.

I looked at Earl and his eyes was wide, his lip was curled, and his leg was fried. And his hand was froze to the wheel like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard. I says, "Earl, I'm not the type to complain; but the time has come for me to explain that if you don't apply some brake real soon, they're gonna have to pick us up with a stick and a spoon."

Well, Earl rared back, and cocked his leg, stepped as down as hard as he could on the brake, and the pedal went clear to the floor and stayed there, right there on the floor. He said it was sorta like steppin' on a plum.

Well, from there on down it just wasn't real purdy: it was hairpin county and switchback city. One of 'em looked like a can full'a worms; another one looked like malaria germs. Right in the middle of the whole damn show was a real nice tunnel, now wouldn't you know?

Sign says clearance to the twelve-foot line, but the chickens was stacked to thirteen-nine. Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and-ten, like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen, and we took that top row of chickens off slicker than scum off a Lousiana swamp. Went down and around and around and down 'til we run outta ground at the edge of town. Bashed into the side of the feed store... in downtown Pagosa Springs.

This is one of the only things I have left of my real parents. We got in the car and we went to go see Lone ranger {A/N: Its the new Johnny Depp movie} and I thought it was funny. We went back home and everyone was asleep so I went up the stairs and as I was about to go into my room Dad, it sounds so different, stopped me and kissed my forehead and said "Goodnight daughter." and I smiled and said "Goodnight Daddy."

"YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!" We both hear 6 voices scream and we turn around t see the rest of the mob standing there. "Go to bed!" Dad and I said at the same time. That's what they did too.

Notes

I know what you're going to say about the lyrics but hear me out. On Sept. 1, 2008 my dad died and that was his all time favorite song. So this chapter was kinda like a tribute to him so I had to put hiss favorite song in this chapter and I don't want to hear any more 'I'm sorry for you're loss.' I've hear that enough in the past 5 years to last me a life time. And yes I am a cowgirl who love rock.

On a happier note who's you favorite character and why? And remember to review! And a special thanks to everyone who has reviewed.
