Lost, Little Sister

I felt everyone in the kitchen examine me from head to toe, it felt like I was fully exposed. I could feel all their glares judging me; it was as if they could all read my thoughts. I was lost of words seeing all my long-lost family, finally reunited.  They all were so handsome, and I tensed up realising all these beautiful specimens were blood-related to a scum like me. Some of the boys had tattoos, which made me even more worried, this one kid had his arms crossed over his chest looking like he was going to kill me. They all had a strong build and were all very tall.

"Hello e-veryone I'm M-addie" I quietly slipped out; my eyes were glued at my shoes whilst my nerves were kicking in, severely. I heard some people scoff. "You are a shy one, aren't you baby" an attractive male said as his lip lifted on the side. He seemed like one of the nicer ones, out of the bunch. Still, that comment had gotten on my nerves.

I'm not going to lie I was quite offended at that comment, I am not a baby! I clenched my fists and pouted my lips. The room erupted with laughter, and I couldn't help but ease my frown into a gentle smile. "You are you adorable, you know that" another male spoke up. My cheeks heated up and my confidence was slowly kicking back in. I still feared that I looked like a red tomato, though.

"It's good to have you back" I turned around to see an extremely tall man tower over me. I felt so miniature next to all these giants, they all are one or two heads taller than me. "It's g-ood to b-e here, thank you for everything" I exclaimed with a tad of confidence. "Alright how about we all introduce ourselves" the tall man announced.

We all gathered around the table, it was weird to be surrounded by so many people, especially the fact they were all guys. Not to mention the fact they were all older than me, I was purely just a burden. One by one, they all introduced themselves. I was kind of scared I'd forget their names considering there were way too many to remember.

Some of them looked mad and annoyed having to introduce themselves, especially the Xander guy, he had made it crystal clear that he was frustrated and not interested in me whatsoever. I can't blame him for not being so welcoming though. I mean I can kind of see where he is coming from, I can't imagine hearing the news that a long-lost sister after all these years, would be coming to live with them again.

"After some food Madison, I need to discuss some rules and expectations" Jason said firmly. I gulped and looked down at my hands in my lap, not possessing the courage to look up. He seemed very controlling and cold. I hated the fact that he scared me, I hadn't even had a one on one conversation with him. Yet, I was already cautious and trembling.
I yawned, exhausted from all the stress that had recently invaded my life.

Only about a day ago I was hidden deep within the covers on my bed, crying and broken. "Aw, look the baby is tired" Noah mentioned cheekily. He was only 3 years older than me! I couldn't help but pout, I hated more than anything being called a baby. "I'm not a baby!" I blurted out without thinking. "Yes, you are" all the boys said in unison. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at this statement. "Hey, I saw that!" Brayden mentioned. I could tell it was in a joking tone, so I went along with it.

I giggled loudly, and suddenly felt every pair of eyes in the room study me. Each boy's eyes lit up, and every single one of them beamed. Even Xander. The boy's presence may intimidate me, but they also cause me to feel safe and protected, even if I only knew them for two years of my life when I was just a baby. I don't remember anything from back then, so hearing that I used to live with them, really made me rethink my existence. The fact I never even knew, scattered in my brain like a dozen flies.

"I can't believe how grown up you've become, it was like just yesterday you were in my arms, begging for me not to leave you alone while you were supposed to be sleeping" Matthew whispered, we shared a long dramatic look whilst sitting directly across from one another. It sent a warm sensation through my body, the thought of one of my tuff big brothers holding me.
