The Age of The Masrui

“My moms been dead less than an hour Louis... I’m not ready yet...”

"We are telling them today Karsi. The baby sitter isn't staying on over night, we are going to be going home and telling then at some point today - at least I am anyway."

“Fine. Today. But not right now.”

"Fine." He sighed.

Karsi tapped her glass then, not wanting to test what he’d said about no more drinking

Louis sat himself down on one of the bar stools on the kitchen counter, putting his head in his hands.

Karsi reached over after a moment to take his hand in hers.

"I need to get out of here, can't be in the same house with so many people all feeling the same thing right now." Louis mumbled as he took his hand back.

"But - but I need you."

"Then come with me..."

“I’m not ready to go back yet... is that where you’re going?”

"No, not yet. I'm just going to go somewhere quiet, that isn't here."

“Okay... I’ll come with”

(( Want to skip? ))

((Sure, how long were you thinking?))

(( Either a couple of months or like a two years?

Idea wise; None of the kids have been kidnapped yet so that is an option
Something to do with Rhys with the racing? He could either be in a crash on the track or almost be in a crash?
Sienna would be fifteen at that point so we could do proper teenage drama of some sort too (if it is the 2 year skip) ))

((Can do the two years if you’d like, I’m glad you’re keeping track of ages because I don’t have a clue ))

(( Doing my best to! I am starting to lose track now though not going to lie

Do any of those drama options sound okay? ))

Two years later...

Half an hour past three in the morning Sienna would of been in her room - well, half in her room and half out of it. One of her legs hanging down as she tried to gain her footing on one of the bricks as she tried to sneak back into the house. Stinking of alcohol, and dressed in a top that was far too revealing.

---

"So, that is another one moved in to their room today." Louis hummed as he ticked off a list on a piece of paper. "Rose House has two more beds available and then we are officially full to capacity for a couple of years."

"Got to catch 'em all. Like some messed up version of pokemon." Tesni mumbled from where she stood in the doorway, having grown slowly more and more jealous of the time they were dedicating to the chairty.

“Come on!” Grayson - Aiden’s youngest and the closest in age to Sienna at sixteen - hissed as he put his hands under Sienna’s foot to try and push her up, not being too far below her. “We can’t get caught!”

---

“We’re helping, this was the girl you picked out Tesni. The one you said looked like she needed the help the most.” Karsi hummed, a small frown. “What’s wrong?”

---

“Mom I’ll be fine.” Rhys sighed down the phone to Bella once again. “Take it easy.” He murmured, rolling his eyes at Cleo as Bella could be heard mothering him down the phone.

((Crash or almost crash and whatever you have with Sienna sounds good!))

(( I am winging it entirely with Sienna ))

"We are going to get caught if you don't shut up! We agreed to stay quiet Gray, remember? I'm going anyway okay, just wait sto- ah." Sienna had began to reprimand in a low whisper, loosing her balance after one of his shoved as she tumbled through the window and into her bedroom; hitting the floor with a thud. "Shit." She grimaced.

---

"I'll look after him, as always!" Cleo projected her voice loud enough that Bella would be able to hear it. "Only this race to win and then we are on the global stretch, very exciting."

---

"He forgot to take me out for pancakes this morning, again." Tesni complained quietly. "Your both so busy, it's like me, Cain and Wren don't even exist anymore."

“Oh.” Karsi frowned deeply, crossing the room to hug her quietly. “I’m sorry, we’ve been busy but it’s no excuse is it? No excuse... we’ll take you to dinner tonight to make up for it it? I’m sorry Tesni.”

---

Grayson climbed in after her, being just about as graceful as he too landed with a thud, grimacing as he rubbed the back of his head.

---

“She said she’s still gonna worry.” Rhys chuckled. “Love you mom, bye bye... bye.” He murmured before hanging up.

"Will you? What if your other like fifty kids need you?" Tesni asked curtly, pulling away from the hug and glaring over at Louis when she heard him snort 8n amusement.

"Don't be so dramatic, Tesni."

---

Sienna stared at him for a couple of minutes before suddenly lifting her hand up to cover her mouth and try to muffle a sudden fit of drunken giggles. "Th- There is a 2 litre bottle of cider under the bed, reach under and pass it over?"

---

At the sound of the thuds, Marlowe sat bolt up right - having been jolted out of a nightmare. Glancing around the room and squinting at the time of the digital alarm clock as she tried to catch her breath.

---

Cleo laughed, taking a step closer to him when he hung up and pressing herself against him. Humming softly, "If you lose this race then you are cooking us dinner tonight, naked. If you win, I'll be the naked one. Deal?"

“Cider? How common.” Grayson snorted as he moved to lay on his stomach, reaching under the bed for the bottle.

---

“What’s up?” Maddox murmured in confusion as he stirred, still half asleep.

---

“Deal.” Rhys grinned as he looped an arm around her waist, kissing her deeply.

---

“Tonight - we promise -  is about you. Dinner anywhere you want.”

"It was all Jennifer could get for me, apparantly. It is a shame it is too common for your tastes, it just means I am going to have to have it all go myself." Sienna laughed, reaching over and wiggling her fingers for the bottle. Closing her eyes for a few moments to stop the room from spinning, "I can't believe we got away with it again."

---

"I think someone is in the house," Marlowe whispered in a scared tone, the nightmare clearly having been vivid enough that she was becoming confused. "I- I heard a bang."

---

Cleo kissed him back passionately, moving her hand up to knot her fingers in his hair. "I'll be in my normal spot by the pit." She hummed as she pulled away. "Are you feeling ready?"

---

"The resteraunt with the fish tank in the middle of the room?"
