Now it's less than a month before Aunt Elaine wants us out. I kind of suck because I have been dealing by not dealing with the house thing at all. Josh asked if the three of us could come over this morning and said his parents wanted to talk to us. For sure I thought we were in trouble and I was trying to figure out what I'd done wrong that involved my sisters too but Josh said it wasn't anything bad. When I asked why he wouldn't tell me.
Danielle and I were both working this morning but we went over afterwards and brought day-old bagels (except Danielle put the day-olds aside for us and took fresh ones to Josh's). I was so nervous I told Alex to dress extra nice and re-did my ponytail.
When we got there Josh's dad was the first person we saw and Alex hugged him. Actually she hugged all of them. It was a little surprising. I was so nervous. We sat down at the dining room table and they were asking us how studying for finals is going and making all this small talk but I just wanted them to get to the point.
Finally they said they understand through Josh that because of their plans for his summer it puts us in a hard situation so they will make us an offer. They will store our stuff and if we will follow their rules me and my sisters can live at their house until they are ready to start paying rent on an apartment.
I asked what the rules are. They sound kind of reasonable. No parties, no sleepovers without asking first, no shoes in the house, be respectful of the neighbors, clean up after ourselves. Since Josh will be traveling they said we can use his bedroom while he's gone and also their guest room. This is totally scary. Really good, but also scary.

They sound like really good people. I'd be very glad to see you free of "Aunt" Elaine(no aunt at all)
I agree with you "good but scary", what a wonderful offer, I think you'll do just fine for the small amount of time, it'll feel like a vacation probably and to be rid of elaine, all the better.
This sounds better than staying with Elaine. Congratulations!
That's great news Sam! They sound like great people. Look at this opportunity like a nice vacation for you and your sisters. So glad you all are going to finally be rid of Aunt Elaine. She doesn't even deserve to be called "Aunt" by you all. A real aunt wouldn't treat her nieces that way.....
Wow. I'm so glad that for all the Aunt Elaine and bad folk in your apartment building, you're also surrounded by so many other people who treat you well.
Love the clothes. Love that you're not trapped or facing homelessness.
I'm impressed that you cared for Aunt Elaine after her seizures. That was very big of you, considering how she's treated each of you when you were sick. Well done.
Sam,you are an amazing person.
I am very happy for you and your sisters. I suspect that this is the start of a new life for all of you. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of such a kind offer. I am sure your mom is very, very proud of what you have done and who you have become.
