Now one day at the McKenna house, that may seem normal to anyone on the outside of the chaos. And being honest it's normal to us too since we're so used to it. Right now is one of those times when we're used to it, the same can't be said for those who don't live with us. Exhibit A... Chase, Cole, Lucas, May and Lizzie.

Now they have their fair share of chaos too. It's like a package deal with anyone who becomes friends with us. We just know how to find the crazy and give the crazy a home. For this Christmas we give home to five crazies and have fun while doing it.

"Where is my shoe!" Seb exclaims from his room and I look under my bed for his shoe.

"I'm looking for it calm your tits." I say from the floor.

Going out is always a hassle for us we say that we're going to leave at a certain hour and we leave an hour and a half later. Maybe it's like that for all families, but I like to think it's a thing only mine goes through.

"I found it!" Mom yells from the living room. We go downstairs and see her bent over looking under the couch. "But my arthritis has forbidden me from reaching it."

"He can get it mom, c'mere." I say and help her up, she pats away any imaginary dust she has on her pants and smiles at me.

"Oh honey you look so beautiful."

"Thank you momma." I smile looking down at my leather short, combined with my white sleeveless crop top, and a leather jacket. I put on some black green and white sneakers and was happy with the way I put this outfit together.

"I have to agree princess. You look fucking amazing." He says and comes up behind me to hug me, and kisses my head.

"Stop it you are going to make me blush."

"I think it's endearing."

"I think it's embarrassing."

"You look cute when you blush."

"You look cute all the time." I rebuttal and he chuckles making me smile even more.

"Got it." Seb says getting the shoe from under the couch. "Tell your crusty dog to stay out of my room."

"Cinnamon is not crusty. He's a sweetheart. If you gave him a chance he would love you back." I say and Cinnamon come running towards me to lick my face. "Hey cutie."

"He's a demon." Seb says and I shake my head. "He tried to kill me."

"Him growling at you is not considered attempted murder."

"He tried to bite me."

"You insulted him."

"By watching modern family?"

"He likes the animal planet." I try to justify Cinnamon's actions and Chase chuckles. Cinnamon left my side to lay on Cole's lap. Cole really hot acquainted with Cinnamon and now they're inseparable. "See he's a sweetheart like his momma."

"His momma is crazy."

"Nothing we can do about that." I say and clap. "Are we ready to go?"

"Yes we are." May says standing next to Sebastian and Seb places his arm around her waist making me smile. They really like each other.

We were on our way to have dinner. We were supposed to do it yesterday, but we didn't due to the fact that I slept through the whole afternoon and woke up at like 7 pm. We didn't eat dinner instead we ordered in and watch Yours, Mine & Ours. It was a good night.

"Elle are you ready?" Lucas calls up the stairs and she nods coming down the stairs.

"I'm ready love." She says and he extends his hand so that she doesn't fall and she takes it happily. She smiles at him and kisses his cheek.

"Dear lord you two are just the cutest." I say and she smiles at me shaking her head.

"I could say the same thing for you." She smiles at me and Chase, who still has his arms around my waist.  I shrug and Chase laughs.

"I guess." I say making Chase bend down to my ear and say.

"We're totally not cute. We you are. Actually you're not cute, you're hot." He says and I sigh shaking my head, this man will be the death of me. "Ready to go princess?" I nod and look to my right and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's go." I say and go over to the key bowl seen the one for the Range Rover and skipping that one, choosing the one for the Volkswagen I'm still kind of afraid of the Rover. Dad died there. "So how is this going to work? Who's driving with who?"

"Are you driving the Volkswagen?" Mom asks and I nod holding up the keys for her to see. "Well then I'll take the Rover. And well you guys choose who you want to come with me. I'll be in the car."

"I'll go with Nat and I'll Take May with me. Cole you coming with us?" Cole nods and they start making their way out.

"Okay then I'll take Chase, Lizzie and Lucas." I say and it feels like we should've said 'break' or something to seal the deal.

We all walk towards the garage where all of the cars were. I walk past the Rover which is the first one you see when you walk out and walk straight to the Volkswagen. I personally prefer the Volky beetle that was next to it, but it would be a little cramped so the SUV is the one we take. We get in and Chase is the passenger princess today unlike every other time we've gone in a car together.

"That Rover is a beauty." Lucas said as he buckled up.

"You should've seen it when it was new and its original color."

"Why'd you change the color?" Lizzie asks and I look at Chase.

"Because the car was damaged and to fix it we had to change the whole color. They don't make the original color anymore do we went with that one." I say and Chase places a hand on my thigh as if telling me that he's here, as if telling me that he won't leave me.

God how I love him.

I open the garage door and start to drive out. We got the restaurant in no time and I smiled because I might have a new home, but this will forever be my place of escape.

Well I wouldn't say escape because well this is where most of my hurt lays, but that hurt built me and I'm grateful.

"We're here." I say and we all hop out of the car. I smile at the place that has never changed. Juliana's.

"Hey." Chase says placing his arm around my waist. "You good?"

"I just don't like driving in these streets most of the time." I say and shake my head. "But it's nothing. I got used to it after a while. It just... still bothers me a little."

"You want to drive when we head back?"

"Nahh I'm gonna be okay." I  state and he nods kissing my head. "Let's go in."

We walk inside and the bell by the door rings signaling that someone entered the restaurant.

"Maddison McKenna!!" I hear the voice of the lovely Juliana.

"That's my name." I laugh when she jumps over the counter and hugs me.

Jules was a girl whose mom and dad had opened a restaurant and named it after their best creation as they liked to put it. Juliana started working here the summer after she turned sixteen. She's 20 now.

"You bitch." She says into my hair and I step back looking at her with questioning eyes.

"What did I ever do to you?"

"You left me without customers." She says making me laugh.

My parties were the biggest most alcohol filled parties in town. I threw like three a month and the best part was when the next morning, I  would drag all of the people, I called friends, here. The food here was to die for and it was the best hang over food a girl could ask for. Hungover people are the most hungry and dehydrated people in the world. We would seriously rack up a bill here.

"I'm a changed woman."

"I see that, you didn't come in with a blunt in between your lips." She says and I hiss.

"That one hurt Jules." I say and she shrugs. "Well Jules, this is Lucas and Lizzie my best friends from school, and this is Chase... my boyfriend."

"You did not." She gasp covering her mouth.

During the many mornings I came here I got to know Jules and she because a friend. But the one who wanted to see you thrive, so when ever I walked in with a joint between my lips she would pluck it and throw it on the floor to stomp on it. She also said that if I kept going the way I was going, I would never have future, a home, a boyfriend. I told her that I could easily find a boyfriend so from then on every time I came her she would try to find me a boyfriend.

"I did." I smile.

"Good job McKenna. I'm proud of you."

"Ehh it was all his work." I say and point towards Chase. "Jules is mom here yet?"

"Not yet." She says going behind the counter and grabbing some menus. "Follow me. I'll take you to your table."

"Thanks Juliana."  I say and she walks us through the restaurant until we reach our table. She lets us sit down before asking us what we want to drink. We all say water for now and she walks away jotting everything down.

"So..." there was an awkward silence.

"I could never imagine you with a smoke in your hands much less in your mouth." Lizzie says and I nod.

"Yeah... me right now, can't imagine me with a blunt either." I say and look at Chase. "I stoped right before I got to Henderson."

"We won't judge." Lucas say and snorts "Hell I think we've all hit the joint a time or two."

"Chase hasn't." I say and they both look at Chase.

"You've never smoked weed?"

"Not once. I've never smoked weed or normal cigarettes for that matter, I had never touched alcohol before I was a junior and to be really honest I don't really like getting drunk so..."

"Bitch you basically a saint." I said and he chuckled pulling my hair closer to his.

"Who's a saint?" May asks when her, mom, sed and Cole reached the table.

"Chase."

"How come?"

"He's never smoked weed, and doesn't get drunk."

"Can't say the same about Maddie." Sebastian snorts and Mom and May hit him at the same time while I flip him off. They all sit down and grab their menus.

"Did you say hello to Juliana, Maddie?" Mom asks and I nod looking up from my menu.

"I did." I say and a waiter comes over shortly to take our order. It ended up being Charlie, Jules' brother. We ate and the night went smoothly. When we got home I brushed my teeth and changed into pajamas. When I walked out of the bathroom a shirtless Chase was waiting for me on my bed. We talked for a while and went to sleep right after

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I'm back everybody. After three months in the grave. It's not much. It's only a filler chapter, but it's one closer to the finish line which we are almost about to cross. I hope all of you can forgive me for my disappearing act that I pull all of the time. I missed all of you (A LOT), you guys don't know how much I love seeing all of your comments. Also how much it hurts to see that all of you are voting and commenting and I'm not giving you anything. I hope you guys like this one. Each day back in Miami we catch glimpses of Maddie's old life. What do we think about it? Do we like it? Anyways...

If you guys enjoyed this chapter. Well good it was for all of you to enjoy. Only vote, comment and share if you really want. Yk what don't vote, comment or share, I don't deserve it. I left y'all for too long.

I'm already writing chapter 43 so I'll hopefully see all of you next Friday. Also I know I said that RWC was on break during the summer due to me working on It All Started With A Dance, but it all came to me one night so I had to give y'all some closure and that's what I'm working on. It's the end of the road as we know it, I'll see y'all Friday. Byeee.
