I woke up with a gasp. I didn't even remember going to sleep but I woke up in my bed under the covers. My shoes were off and placed neatly on the side of my bed, my rings were in my nightstand with my phone and my school bag was placed neatly next my closed room door.

Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes and yawned, the last remainder of my sleep disappearing. Reaching over to my nigthstand, I grabbed my phone to check them time. It was 6:45 PM.

The last thing I remembered was Ryder picking me up from school and considering I was still in the clothes that I wore to school, I must have fell asleep in Ryder's car and he brought me inside.

Throwing the covers off me, I walked to my room door. The house was quiet. Strolling down the end of the hall to where Darius' bedroom was, I strolled down the stairs. Getting closer to the kitchen, the noise levels intensified.

For once when I walked into the kitchen, everyone noticed my presence and I had twelve pairs of eyes on me.

"Morning, sunshine." Ryder said sarcastically, a playful smile on his face.

"Hi." I mumbled, waving at all of my brothers.

I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw that eight out of the twelve of them were shirtless in nothing but sweatpants or basketball shorts sitting at the kitchen island. The eight being Damon, Xander, Reece, Phoenix, Hayes, Kaden, Blake and Avery. Darius, Luciano, Ryder and Elijah were all still fully clothed.

"How was your nap?" Elijah asked me when I sat between him and Ryder.

The open seat between Elijah and Ryder at the kitchen island had become my designated seating area when we have breakfast and supper because it was the safest seat. I trusted Elijah and Ryder more than I trusted the rest of my brothers. Hell, I trusted Aiden and Elliot more than I trusted some of my Brothers, Elijah and Ryder excluded.

"Refreshing." I told Elijah with a small smile on my face.

"Is there a reason that you fell asleep in the car?" I turned my attention to Xander who gazing at me with a resting bitch face.

"Lay off her, man. She just woke up." Reece nudged Xander.

Xander rolled his eyes at his younger brother and looked at me back at me with expectant eyes.

"Today was just a very tiring day." I responded and shrugged.

"Did you get a proper eight hour sleep last night?" I looked at Darius who had asked the question.

"Yes, I did." I nodded, "I slept at ten and I woke up at six-thirty." I answered truthfully.

They asked me a few more questions about my sleep schedule and told me I had no set bedtime but I should get the required eight hours of sleep then they all fell back into the conversations they were having before I came in.
