Living with the Frost's (On Hiatus)

G.O.D's

Now I presume you're disgusted with me. I mean Mia that's your blood brother and you called him a 'god', you're seriously weird so I'm going to stop reading before this gets incestuous.

Well don't, because trust me...it won't.

Back in Dallas, me and my sparse friend-lings had created a code name for all the stupid,mean,arrogant jocks and preps who populated our high school.

We called them GOD's. Roughly translating to:

Gay Over-rated Douchebags.

Of course they all thought we were calling them sexy divine beings but in fact we were just taking the mickey out of their low IQ's and stupid Abercrombie and Fitch brand wear.

-

So when I say that ' a god slid in on his Calvin Klein socks.'

I meant. 'Oh great, another douchebag for a sibling.'

And he was 'blood' related.

-

He padded in and sat next to me before turning to me and grinning.

He was about 6 ft 4 and a broad, tanned,brunette with the trademark green eyes that everyone in the family I had seen so far possessed.

His teeth were perfectly white and straight.

Bastard's never had braces.

He wraps an arm around my shoulder and gives me a squeeze.

'Supp Sis, I've always wanted a younger sister. Lookin' good'

He enunciates the 'ooood' bit, leaning back and reaching a really long arm forward and grabbing a slice of pizza.

Elizabeth tuts and reaches for the spatula before scooping up a big slice of pizza and putting it on my plate along with some garlic bread and salad.

We eat in a comfortable silence..well Elizabeth,Edward and I eat in a comfortable silence. Axl wolfs in a comfortable silence.

-

I hear the clatter of a knife and fork being out down and look up off my plate at my 'parents' staring at me.

Edward places his napkin on the table before crossing his hands. 'Mia. I understand this has all been hectic for you. It's probably not settled in yet but soon you'll start to feel a bit emotional. I know there's stuff that you want to ask, so shoot!'

He grins at me endearingly and i can't help but smile back.

I clear my throat. 'Yeah. Thank You for the room. It's beautiful, it's my favourite colour.'

At this Elizabeth beams and turns to her husband with a smug grin.

'I told you she'd like it. We both have the same taste.'

Her husband chuckles and they both look back at me.

'I wanted to know why you want me back and why you abandoned me.'

I look up at them and they both look hurt and haunted, as if reliving a sad memory.

Edward runs a hand through his hair before turning to me and looking me straight in the eye.

'Mia, don't ever think we abandoned you. I know it may seem like it, but it wasn't the case. We've always loved you and cared for you. Everyday we missed you and prayed for your well being and safety. Every birthday we'd cut a cake for you. Axl has been brought up to remember you as his sister. We told him all about you and never think we never asked about your well being. We talked to your parents every chance we could to ask about your well being but we've always wanted you back.'

I sighed.'Why did you leave me then.'

Elizabeth picks up on Edward. 'When you were born. We had problems with people. Bad people in your father's company. People with a lot of power and a lot of money, more than us. They wanted to hurt your father and they knew that the best way would be to hurt either you or Axl who was 1 at the time. We sent him to live with his aunts but it was too stressful for me and I broke down.'

I looked up at my mother who had tears glistening in her eyes and falling gently down her perfect face. 'I couldn't cope at all. I broke down and we put you up for adoption because i knew I'd be a terrible mother to you if I didn't. I don't regret doing it because you were a lot better off, but I regret not being able to share things with you and share time that will never be brought back. We fought so hard to get you and now you're here.'

She smiles and wipes away the stray tears as I stare at her, a blank expression on my face.

Axl swings his arm around me and grins. 'Mia, i've grown up hearing about how clever you were, how pretty you were, how talented you were and honestly, I hated you. I grew up in your shadow. But I'll always love you and now me and you can start a fresh. I can be the annoying older brother and you can be the nerdy Little sister.'

He ruffles my hair like i'm 3 and I force a smile, even though I know he's lying. My parents would've told them I was growing up different, too tall, too awkward, too geeky. A complete outcast.

I shake my head, trying to throw the erratic thoughts away.

'Why didn't you try sooner?'. I ask staring at them piercingly, trying to find a motive.

'You were too young, and you had a nice upbringing we didn't want to ruin it for you. You seemed happy.'

Oh I had a good upbringing did I? My parents didn't leave me at home to watch the cat when they went out with their 'real' kids under the pretense of 'meet the teacher' days. It's not like they forgot nearly every birthday I had up to the age of fucking 18.

I sit there steaming at how he was spewing out all these things about me being 'happy' and having a 'good upbringing' when they never made the effort to actually talk to me and find out just how 'happy' my upbringing had been.

I shot up of my chair and stared them both in the face.

'Do NOT sit there and claim to know shit about my upbringing. You never even fucking spoke to me so do not sit there and bullshit about knowing, my parents weren't about to tell you I was an outcast. I've been alone for the past 18 years. Fucking alone.'

Ferocious tears started to spill down my face as I ran towards the stairs and ran up as fast as i could. I could hear them shouting behind me and I hear heavy footsteps that must have been Axl's after me but I was quicker and ran into my room before locking the door and collapsing onto my bed.

I lay there sobbing between bouts of howling into my pillow. The ever expanding cavern of darkness and loneliness taking over my body and my sense's a rabid mix of fury,pain and sorrow.
