Meeting The Family

"MOM, JOSH, I'M HOME!" Jess yelled through the opened door before pulling me in after her. For a moment all I could do was stare. They had I big house. I mean a REALLY big house.

"MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!" Jess yelled out again when no one answered. For a moment I thought of putting my hands over my ears to block out the high squealing noise, but thought better of it.

"In the kitchen honey!" I voice yelled. I assume it was her mom. Who else would it be?

"Come on Sam. I want you to meet her." She dragged me along and I really didn't have much of a choice but to follow her. We ended up in a large kitchen along with a lady that looked basically like an older version of Jess.

"Mom, this is Sam. Sam, mom. Can he stay with us for a while?" Jess asked quite bluntly. So much for slow introductions. Jess's mom wiped her hand on a towel.

"Nice to meet you Sam. And sure Jess, if his parents say it's okay. You're on spring break anyway, so it should be fine."

I was about to explain to her about how I couldn't ask my parents since I had no memories, but Jess answered before I could open my mouth. "Yeah mom, his parents said it's fine. We'll be in my room!" She said, before once again dragging me behind her towards a stairway. Okay, this dragging stuff has got to stop! This time I dug my heels into the floor to stop her from pulling me any farther.

"What?" she asked impatiently.

"Why didn't you tell your mom?" I asked. Jess rolled her eyes. That is seriously annoying.

"One, my mom would think I'm delirious. Two, she would never let you stay here. And three, what she doesn't know can't hurt her right?" She said. I mulled in over.

"Well, I guess, but still…"

"Don't worry about it Sam, I have everything under control."

"I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing." I mumbled under my breath, but still followed her to her room anyway.

It wasn't a huge room, but still big enough to comfortably house at least three or four kids. Light blue coloring with surfboards propped against the wall and some skateboards as well. A computer was shoved deep into a corner and the bed itself was smack in the middle of the room. Clothes and random objects littered the floor.

"Nice." I said, plopping down onto the big bed.

'Thanks." Jess replied taking a seat next to me. "So, let's start at the beginning. What do you last remember?"

I paused for a moment as I thought it over. "Um…Water. A lot of water. And feeling calm. Then waking up on the beach…"

"Hmm... " She mused, "I wonder if you fell of a boat or something?"

I shook my head slowly, trying to organize my thoughts, "I don't think so… I remember a really load whirring sound. And being mad at someone I think… Then falling… and struggling in the water… after that a calm feeling came and I think I went unconscious… I woke up on the beach and I thinking I had just survived something… then I realized I couldn't remember anything and I saw you." I finished off.

"You sure it wasn't a boat?" She asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know. I guess it could be. I don't really remember." Jess grinned.

"Which is exactly why we are trying to figure out if it was a boat or not. If it was a boat, I could ask around and see who recently reported a accident. Someone's bound to have. If not, well, we'll figure that out later."

I pouted. "That makes me feel loads better. Thank you for your oh so amazing help."

"What can I say? I'm a gift." At this I had to grin along with her.

"Sure ya are." A voice from the doorway said. "You're also a purple bunny who lives in Antarctica. Right?" I turned around to see who had just replied. It was a boy; maybe sixteen or seventeen, with sandy blond hair and the same bright green eyes as Jess.

Jess grinned even wider when she saw him "Well, if I'm a purple bunny then you're a flying penguin in Hawaii."

He chuckled and shrugged, strolling into the room. "I can live with being a penguin… Who's this?" he asked, directing his attention towards me.

"Oh, Sam this is Josh. Josh, Sam. Josh is my older brother." I smiled nervously.

"Hey."

"Yo bro. First time in Cali? The waves here are awesome!" I loosened up. Josh seemed just like his sister, just maybe a little more laid back.

"Um, yeah. I…" Jess was making crossing signs with her hands and waving them around, so I assumed she was trying to tell me to not spill "I'm just visiting for a while." I lied.

"Cool dude." Josh said, believing me. "You won't believe the beaches. Sand, surf, and the hottest chicks in the world all in one place. Paradise dude, pure paradise." He grinned and Jess stood up.

"Get out of here Josh. Don't you have a girlfriend to be with or something. She said shoving him out the doorway. He bent his body around her and winked at me.

"Just wait and see Sam. California is the best." Then she slammed the door in his face.

Rolling her eyes, she sat back down on the bed. "Siblings. What can you do?" I shrugged and smirked.

Somehow, I knew exactly what she meant.

"Anyway, we're getting no where with you just trying to remember things, but maybe pictures will help. You know, seeing something familiar will jolt your memories."

I shrugged. "Right now, anything is worth a shot."

A/N: Excuse the shortness. Like i said b/f, I'm really crammer right now. But summer breaks in about a month, so that's when the long chapters will probably start coming.

Anyway, please review! the more your review, the better chance I have to win!
