Same day, same bullshit...

Mr. Andrews over here thought it would be a brilliant idea to give us a pop quiz today. Lucky for me I already heard word of it and studied in advance, so take that you piece of shit.

He has it out for me, I just know it. Just because he's a single miserable baldy, doesn't mean he has to take his anger out on me.

The quiz was a piece of cake. After I turned it in, I sat right back down and now I'm scrolling through the urban outfitters website.

"Ms. Brookes, Principal Waters would like to see you in his office," baldy tells me. I shove my books in my bag and head out. "See ya later Andrews," I salute him goodbye like the bitch I am.

I make my way down the hall to see the second person who has it out for me. I knock on his door.

"Come in."

I push through the door and see Waters sitting at his desk with some guy in a suit sitting in front of him. Holy shit...he looks like- he looks like mom? He has her hazel eyes and deep brown hair, even similar facial features.

My mother died 3 years ago and now I'm living with my step dad Daniel. And before you jump to assumptions, no he doesn't abuse me, no he didn't take his anger out on me, I'm just a normal girl living in his house. He leaves me be and I leave him be and works out just fine.

I must've been lost in my train of thought because I didn't realize Waters told me to sit down when I see them just staring at me. I quickly snap out of it while I take the open seat next to the stranger.

He looks at me quizzically like he's trying to figure me out. Well I'm trying to figure you out too buddy...

"Lauren, this is your brother Liam."

Haha that's funny, I thought he said brother. Wow I should really get my hearing checked.

"Lauren?"

"I'm sorry what!?" I exclaim. Mr. Waters clears his throat and the stranger squirms in his seat.

"Your brother is here to take you to your new home. Your step father found this letter addressed to you in your mothers things and called the school," he slowly hands over a folded piece of paper. I pick it up and unfold it.

Dear Lauren,

If you are reading this, it means you figured out that you have brothers. And when I mean brothers I mean 5 boys. And two of them are your triplets. I'm so sorry I never told you this and you had to find out from reading this letter. I never wanted you to grow up in the world they live in with money and power. The second you were born I knew I had to get you out of there, so that's exactly what I did. I was in an arranged marriage with your father and had to bear his children. When you were born, I knew that you would have to follow in my footsteps and be forced into an arranged marriage. I did this for you because you're the light of my life. Leaving my baby boys was one of the hardest things for me to do but it was the only way. They need you now just as much as you need them even if you don't know it yet. They need a woman's touch in their lives and you're the woman for the job. Stay strong and don't forget who you are. Tell my boys I love them even if they might not believe me. I love you my sweet Lauren.

Daniel if you find this letter first call 123-456-7890 and they'll know what to do.

Love mom.

I didn't realize I was hyperventilating and tears strolling down my cheeks till the guy next to me places a hand on my arm. I look up and his eyes are glassy.

Is he my brother? Like he read my mind, he softly smiles and nods his head. "I'm Liam the oldest and you must be Lauren," he finally removes my arm and I feel like I can finally breathe again.

"Your step dad has signed guardianship to your brother. You will be moving in with him and your other brothers as well as enrolling into a new school," Waters explains. Jesus, any other bombs you wanna drop?

"I wish you the best Ms. Brookes," he stands up from his seat and shakes my apparent brother's hand. I just stand there frozen in place till Liam places his hand on the small of my back and guides me out the door.

We don't say a word till we walk up to a luxurious black Porsche and my eyes widen when he gets in the front seat. I slowly open up the passenger door and slide in.

"We'll stop at your house to gather your things then we have to catch our flight. The rest you can't pack we'll have it mailed," he says keeping his eyes on the road.

"The airport?" I question. He glances my way and chuckles. "Say goodbye to small town Michigan, and hello to sunny California baby sis," he smiles at me. Baby sis...that sounds weird.

"Wow um- I uh- ok..." I manage to choke out. We finally pull up to my house and we walk in. I'm greeted with Daniel standing around several suitcases. Well, guess I don't have to pack then.

I give him an awkward goodbye and now it's off to the airport.

What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened?

I have 5 brothers? And two of them are my triplets!?

I swear if this is some dream I wake up from, I'm checking myself into a mental institute.
