I sat down on the window seat in my room and sighed.

It was already late so I'm sure everyone is sleeping.

I laid my head onto the window and closed my eyes. Today was a long day and I just want to sleep but I just can't.

I sighed and stood up and walked to the bed.

How do I accept them as family?

It's really hard for me to act normal around them when I don't really know them. I just miss mom and dad.

All of this new information they give me and I didn't have the time to process everything.

I'm not sure if I'm mentally ready after seeing my parents lying lifeless.

Without knowing, tears had escaped my eyes as I thought about them.

Suddenly someone knocked onto my bedroom door and I quickly wiped my tears away and said, " Come in."

The door opened and Derek's head popped out.

"You okay?" He asked with worried expression

"Ye-yeah." I answered and he sighed,not believing me

" See tomorrow then. Have a good night sleep." He said before closing the door

He must have thought I needed space.

I do need it anyways.











"Good morning." Ms Black said as I woke up to find her opening the curtains. I immediately closed my eyes and yawned while stretching my arms out of the duvet.

"Good morning." I greeted back while my eyes were still closed

"Still sleepy?" She asked me then suddenly I felt hands stroke my hair and I quickly opened my eyes

"Ye-yeah." I answered and she nodded her head

"We're going back home today." She said

"Today? I'm I also going to school with them?" I asked and she nodded her head

"But you will start a week after them." She said

I sighed in relief. At least I have a break to put myself together.

"Okay now. I'm going to wake the rest of your brothers up and we will be ready to go in no time." She said while she stood up

She smiled at me and I returned it before she walked out.












I yawned and held my luggage before yawning again.

"Tired?" Ricky asked and I nodded my head, " Don't worry, once we get our luggage in you can sleep on the way home." He said

I nodded my head and watched the others pack the luggage in the boot of the car. Once everything was in, we headed to the airport.

Skip to Atlanta( home)

"Home sweet home." Ms Black said, " Now come on kids, don't look so tired."

"Did we have to come back home this early?" Alex whined

" Stop being lazy, school is tomorrow." Billy said

"Lucky for you Summer. No school tomorrow or the week." Derek said as everyone headed inside the house

I gave him a small smile and he shook his head.

"Anyways I need to call my boy-I meanIhavetocallmyfriendsandtellthemI'mback." He said quickly before walking off to the other direction

That wasn't weird at all.

I walked to the living room and I was amazed. These people were loaded and anyone would have known that if they had to step foot in this house/mansion.

"Close your mouth before flies enter." Alex said and I immediately closed my mouth

I sent him a glare and he rolled his eyes.

"It's cute that you think you know how to glare." He said, " You look like a five year old learning how to wink."

I sent him another glare and he cracked.

"Anyways if mom is looking for me, tell her I went to the boys. Don't worry she knows them." He said before living

I turned around and suddenly I bumped into something.

"Slowdown little one." A unknown voice said

I took a step back and looked at the old man in front of me who looked like he was in his fourties.

"You have grown so much." He said and I looked down

"Dad you are going to scary her." Ricky said while walking in with a guitar

Dad? Did he call him dad?

I looked up at the man. So this is Mr Black, my real father.
