1 Part 1

Selena's POV

"SELENA" I heard my mom shout from downstairs causing me to wake up from my dream of Brad Pitt.

This close from his lips touching mine.

This close to knowing what it was like to kiss Brad Pitt in a dream.

This BLOODY CLOSE.

I glanced my phone to see it was a Saturday. So no school. Oh shit it's the summer holidays. Why the fuck am I awake?

I growled. "What mum!" I shouted back, pulling the cover from my body causing them to become a crumpled mess and I sighed feeling my shoulders fall.

I can fix my bed later.

Okay, my mum can fix it later.

I waited for a reply. "Get up and get dressed, we are gonna have guests coming," She said and I tilted my head in confusion as her voice came out a little muffled at the last sentence.

Guests?

But still, I groaned loudly so she could hear me.

Ugh, I hate waking up in the morning.

Actually, waking up in general.

And BLOODY PEOPLE.

Well, those people are definitely going to become bloody once I'm down.

Kidding.

Actually, what's the point of even going downstairs?

*1 minute later*

I decided to go downstairs because well there's food downstairs which I can't resist. And well surivive without.

And the food is in the kitchen.

And the kitchen has my mum.

And my mum plus an undressed me...

Well, you could guess what would happen to me.

I skimmed through my wardrobe and picked a random white dress with matching shoes. I looked pretty cute but it was not worth getting all this dolled up for random guests.

Like if you see me at my best, then you'll definitely have to see me at my worst. Which these guests will not last long enough to see.

I quickly went downstairs only to see my mum in her PJs and I tilted my head in confusion.

Where's her dolled up mess?

I scoffed. "Mum how come you're in your PJs and I have to be dressed? " I asked in disbelief as I glanced at unbrushed hair and pancake mix on her shirt from yesterday but instead she laughed at my hair.

She gave me a nudge. "Because my best friend is coming so I can dress how I like but you have to dress nicely," she said sticking out her tongue and I roll my eyes at her childish actions.

Real mature mom.

I looked at her in disbelief before walking to the mirror to check my hair out.

"But mom, you're my best friend" I whined jokingly and she rolled her eyes at me. Okay, that hurt a little bit.

My mum laughed. "Well too bad," she said finishing up the breakfast she was making and I let out a big groan which caused her to throw an oven mitt at mem

A second later, I heard the doorbell ring causing both of us to jump up.

My mum mouthed for me to open it as she placed breakfast on the table and I groaned fixing my bed head in the mirror.

I opened the door to see a woman and a boy, who was standing hiding behind her slightly but I could still see him.. He seemed around about my age which is 18.

I glanced over him for a quick second. He had slight brown hair slicked back with a fair skin tone and honey brown eyes.

And the women, I'm guessing was his mum, was dressed in a back dress and had a huge smile on her face. Her dark brown eye smoothed straight on my shoulders.

She was about to speak but my mum cut her off instead from behind me.

"Pattie!" My mum screamed randomly and all I catch is her pushing me to the side into the wall before seeing her literally jumped on top of this Pattie causing both of them to fall to the ground.

As well as the boy with them.

I hear to see them groan with the boy luckily suriviving and escaping from under them.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing like there were literal tears coming out from my eyes.

Fuck that probably made my day and decreased the chance of potentially killing our new guests.

But then suddenly, I heard actual crying.

Wow, the first time I properly cried without realising.

I wiped my eyes to glance over to see Pattie's son crying.

What the fuck is wrong with him?

Well, he did become the cushion to two mums so that must've hurt.

Pattie tried to calm him down by rubbing his back and fortunately, it worked. He gripped tightly on his owns as his eyes started to become red glaring down as I started at all them awkwardly.

"I'm sorry" my mum quickly apologised nudging Pattie jokingly causing her to let out a smile and she brought them inside and me, being the 4th wheel, just watched them.

But I then got bored of the chit chat, so I decided to go into the living and eat my cereal. My mum and Pattie followed afterwards giving me a quick glance and I titled my head in confusion.

Pattie decided to approach me. "Well you must be Mandy's daughter, Selena," Pattie said with a smile and I gave her shrug.

"Well I'm in her house and I did call my mum, mum sooo yes I am" I said rolled my eyes at her continuing to eat my cereal.

Thank you for noticing the captain obvious.

"Selena, respect your elders" My mother scolded me and I ignored her as usual letting out a groan as my sleeping schedule was messed up because of today.

I don't wake up. And I did today.

I shrugged. "Whatever," I said rolling my eyes and Pattie disappeared for a bit as my back was already turned to her.

But I heard a voice. "Anyway, meet my son Jace," Pattie said bringing jace to me.

I gave him an awkward nod as he looked down not wanting to make eye contact with me for some reason.

I glanced down to his outfit subconsciously and noticed his t-shirt was tucked into his blue jeans with them being rolled at the bottom. With not a single smudge on his white vans.

Someone likes being clean. Well everyone should but he was clean clean. I should probably keep up.

"Wassup," I said to him but he rudely ignored me and held onto Pattie causing me to raise my eyebrow in confusion as I got annoyed. "Well it's kinda nice to say something back" I snapped at him causing him to flinch and again start crying.

Oops.

Mum and Pattie both came to him and I let out a sigh as they both rubbed his shoulder but my mum gave me a glare and I bit my lip.

"Selena, Jace's not normal," my mum said to me angrily and I raised not my eyebrows at the obvious statement.

I nodded. "Yeah, I kinda realised that since 18-year-old boys don't cry just by someone shouting at them" I scoffed at them folding my arms together and I looked down wondering why I was being so pathetic right now.

I legit cry all the time, why am I getting do pissed at this kid? Ugh I should have gone back to that meditation app. 

I glanced and they shook their heads in disbelief causing me to let out a sigh.

"He has autism" Pattie frowned rubbing Jace's arm causing him to slowly relax and I tried to think what that meant again.

I remember in school, there was a kid with autism which acting a little unusual not that I cared but it was a little bit entertaining watching them colour in a sleeping kids face. They drew a wolf because for some reason they liked drawing them. It was pretty good actually. The sleeping kid probably loved it.

I scrunched my eyebrows as I looked at Pattie. "Oh, so he has a disorder which makes him act all childish, right," I said slightly peeking at Jace interested as he let out a whimper looking down.

Pattie gave me a look, it was confused and I realised how shitty my explaining of what autism is and I let out a sigh before allowing her to carry on.

"It's a disability. Affects his behaviour. He has sometimes can have overreactions to the littlest things including his senses." She said giving a worried glance at my mum and she shurgged standing close to javey.

I nodded. "So why are you guys here?" I asked, mainly looking at my mum as I gestured at Pattie and Jace I think was his name and she raised her eyebrows at my rude manners but I shrugged instead.

"Well I want you to hang out with him and well teach him things that normal teenagers do," my mum said with the look that's said you gonna do it no matter what as Pattie watched looking at me like she didn't trust me a single bit with her son.

Well yeah, im rude, I've already made your son cry already, gave a shitty explanation of what autism is. I wouldn't trust myself with Jace. I wouldn't trust myself with myself.

I groaned. "But why can't someone else? why not yourself?" I asked looking at mom and Pattie as she let out a sigh looking down causing me to frown.

She gave me another empty look. "Because there are some things I cannot teach him and Mandy is my bestie and Jace does not have any friends, so I'm trusting you" Pattie frowned with her eyes turning red with tears causing me to feel a little guilt.

Ok yeah, I have a heart.

Wait what did any of that mean?

I let a sigh before I nodded slowly. "Fine, I'll do it, well I kinda have to anyway" I finally agreed to cause Pattie to give me a bone-crushing hug.

I mean it was erm... Nice.

My mum smiled. "Selena he's gonna be staying in your room since Pattie and I are gonna be going away on a holiday for a month," she said and I looked at her confused.

I'm sorry, why did you drop that on me?

I gave her the dirtiest look I could give her. "Wait what? Are you just giving him to me because you can have a break from me?" I said looking at my mum and she stopped for a second to think before nodding with a smirk.

Parties laughed. "No, we've just been thinking about this for so long and I've told your mum all about Jace and she's told me you've babysat before and we've just really needed a break," she said and I sighed continuing to nod.

"Sooooo bye" She smiled hugging me.

I blinked. "Wait you're gonna go now" I frowned looking at her and she nodded with her eye facing the floor.

"Soz sweetie, I love you but I really need some me-time. Don't worry ok, you can have a fun time meaning parties if that makes you happy" my mum smiled which made me happy.

Wait, what about Jace?

Awe she lied, mannnn.

Pattie laughed. "Also here's everything about Jace," she said handing me a long, long piece of paper.

Okay, he is going to be a lot of work
