"guys, we got ourselves a new member" Dylan exclaims and the two boys cheered

"What member" I asked

"See, Alex must have told you we worked as waiters at the club, but we also perform" Jeff said

"Perform what?" I asked

"We sing, we are somewhat like a band, but we keep our identity secret except Alex and his brothers who know of course" Declan said.

"Do you guys write songs" I asked expectantly

"I wish, but sadly we don't, we just sing already existing songs" jay said

"Soooooo, what's my position in this 'band' " I asked

"You'll be lead singer with Jay here, and me and Declan will be backups while playing the instruments" Jeff says

"Why would you allow this agonized whale to sing" I asked referring to Declan because clearly the dude should be arrested for lack of voice by the singing industry

"Who?, Declan? Don't worry, the dude can sing, he just acts like this during rehearsals. You'll get to hear him sing someday" Jeff said

"Okay" I said just as my stomach grumbled loudly. And Declan just laughed and said

"Who's the whale now" I reddened a bit at that

"Are not"
"Are too"
"Are not"
"Are too"
"Are no--

"You too, quit it already" Jay said already walking out the music room and heading downstairs

"Where is he going to" I asked

"I thought you were hungry" Jeff said

"Yes, I am, and I need food" I said

"Jay is going to prepare you something to eat" Jeff said just as Declan patted his stomach

"Man, that guy Cooks like a top chef" Declan said dreamingly.

"Let's just go downstairs and get something edible to eat" I said already heading downstairs or so I thought

"You are heading the wrong way" Jeff said

"Ok then, lead the way" I said

Soon, we reached the kitchen which I was thankful for, because I thought I was going to die from only the minute journey to the kitchen with Declan constant bickering.
He kept talking about weird stuff.
One about him attaching bird wing to his back and reaching up to touch the sky
And another about him becoming a warewolf once he touched the moon

When we arrived at the kitchen, Jay way Frying eggs. When I looked around, I saw freshly made bacons at the kitchen counter.
How did he make them so fast?
Well, I don't care, I'm hungry, no scratch that, I dieing slowly and painfully from starvation

"So you know there was one night when I went to get something and I saw this man dressed in all black and I walked up him and asked "sir, why are you dressed in all black" he only looked at me and said "non ya business foreign kid" Declan said laughing, we all looked at him weirdly. That joke was not funny, it was not even a joke to begin with, why was he laughing like he just cracked the biggest joke ever

"Just try to ignore him" Jay said and went back to cooking

After another torturous minute of listening to Declan's stupidity, the food was finally ready

"Finally, I am starving babe. I almost died because these two were making me talk my ass out" Declan said

"We" both me and Jeff said

"You were clearly the one blowing up our ears" I said

"Oh , nonsense. I am hungry and I don't have the strength to argue" Declan said and I rolled my eyes

"So, tell us about you" Jay said to me

"Hi, my name's Annabelle, I am sixteen turning seventeen soon, I am an orphan who ran away from her Foster parent's house because of daily abuse both physically and mentally" I said with a shrug. Why lie to them when I'm gonna be staying with them for a long time whether or not I'm their sister. I've learnt never to tell a lie cause somehow the truth always comes out.

"Wow" Declan said stuffing his mouth with eggs.
Wasn't that supposed to be my food

"Gimme that" I said while taking away the half eaten food from Declan

"What, that was my food. Jay, tell her to give it to me" Declan said pouting. He's really cute while pouting

" So tell me about yourselves" I said completely ignoring Declan

"Hi, I'm Jeffery, I'm seventeen years of age, the oldest of all of us in this room,I love sports and these guys here are the only family I have. My parents were murdered and sir Alex took me in and these two came not long after" Jeff said

"And don't say sorry, I hate that word. Sorry won't bring them back" Jeff continued.

"Ok" I said not knowing what to say next

"Hi, I'm Declan, recently turned seventeen, the second oldest, the most sexy, hot prince charming. The most dashing and the most elegant. What can I say about myself? Oh, I know, I love playing video games, I love soccer, I love food, I have two stomachs, one for food and the other for deserts, I turn warewolf once in a month under the full moon and I have a crush on a girl I just met" Declan said and the remaining three of said

"No one asked you those unwanted things"

"Oooh ooh, jinx, I love it" Declan said while clapping and giggling like a fangirl

"Whatever.
Hi, my name's Jay Ryder, I'm sixteen turning seventeen soon, I have--" I cut Jay off

"What??" I exclaimed.
"You are sixteen?, you look like fourteen or fifteen" I said

Jay chuckled and said "I know, I get that a lot. Well, I have an older brother, one younger sister and parents. Don't ever bring my parents topic up, it all gloomy and I don't like talking about it. I love video games and I love cooking too" Jay said calmly

"Well, nice to meet you all" I said

I went back to eating my food just to find nothing.
I didn't even see the plate.
I looked across me to see Declan licking the plate.
Pls remind me never to use the white breakable plate with flower patterns all over.

"Remind me to break that plate Jeff" Jay sighed and asked me

"Do you still want food"

"Yes, badly" I answered

"Ok, I'll get back to cooking again" Jay said

"Since Jay's is at that, why don't we go find something fun to do" Jeff said

"Ok" I replied

They led me to the sitting room and he asked

"Can you play call of duty"

"Yes" I replied

"Thanks goodness, I thought you were one of those girly girl who would prefer painting nails than playing video games" Declan said

"I'm a tomboy" I replied shrugging like it was no big deal to me

"What am I supposed to say to that" Declan asked whispering to Jeff. Well that's what Declan would call it.
How can someone whisper be louder that when he's talking

"Can we just play" I asked
I have to do something to distract me from this unbearable hunger.

"Oh yes" Jeff said giving me a controller while taking his.

Then the war began

Oh, hey, I forget to go ask sir Alex  or that doctor for my medicines.

Pff, I'll take it some other time.
This is so much better
