"Aaliyah, get your ass out of bed!"I sat up, being awoken by the loud noise, before stretching.
My aunt came in the room, putting her hands on her hips. "Can you watch the twins while I go out shopping?" She Asked.
"I guess." I Mumbled.
"You guess? I'm giving you a home, and you can't even watch the kids while I'm away?"
"I'll do it.." I Sighed, getting out of bed.
As I walked out of the room, she gave me a shove as I passed her.
"Watch your attitude." She warned.
I made my way out to the kitchen and sat down at the table next to the twins, just as I heard Aunt Millie leave the house.
"Where'd mummy go?" Alexandria Asked.
"She's just going shopping." I Said. "She won't be long."
"She goes shopping nearly every morning." Alexander Said, pushing away his cereal bowl as he began to pout. "Why?"
"She has enough money to." I shrugged.
"Then why doesn't she buy you stuff?"
"I guess I'm not important.." I mumbled, looking down at my hands, which I had resting on the table.
"Yes you are." Alexandria Said.
"Well, thank you, but nobody else thinks so." I Said, giving her a small smile. "It's alright, though. I still have music."
"And us." Alexander Chimed.
"Of course." I Said. "At least you guys care about me."
The phone suddenly started ringing, and I looked over at it.
"Answer it!" Alexandria Exclaimed.
"Aunt Millie doesn't like when I answer it." I Explained. "I'll just tell her that someone called when she gets home."
"Answer it! Answer it!" Both Of the twins started chanting.
"Why?" I Asked.
"We wanna know who it is!" Alexander Said. "We'll be extra good if you Answer it!"
"I'm not letting you bribe me." I sighed.
After a couple more rings, The phone stopped ringing, and they both began to pout.
"Now we're sad.." Alexandria whined. "We'll Tell mummy."
"So much for you guys caring.." I mumbled. "Tell you what, I'll let you guys listen to Coldplay with me while I tidy up the house a bit. How's that?"
"Coldplay!" They Both Exclaimed.
I laughed a little. "I guess that's a yes. Now hurry and wash yourselves up."
They both jumped out of their chairs and ran to the bathroom to wash themselves, and I when into my room and grabbed A Rush Of Blood To The Head. I went back into the kitchen and found my aunts's CD player, which was covered in dust since she never used it. I put my CD in carefully, just as the twins ran back into the room.
"Can you play Clocks first?" Alexander Asked excitedly. "That one's my favourite!"
"Alright." I Said, laughing a little as I skipped to the 5th song on the album.
I pressed the play button and turned it up, and piano filled the room. I took a deep breath and payed close attention to the music, getting that familiar feeling that I got every time I heard Coldplay.
I don't even have the words to describe it; It's just happiness, but even better than that, really.
I grabbed a broom and started sweeping, While I really got into the music, singing and dancing.
As it was getting to the end of the song, I felt a pain in my stomach, and winced.
"Not again.." I said quietly.
This had been happening to me for a year now, and I really wasn't sure what it was. I had tried to tell Aunt Millie about it, but she disregarded it, saying that it was only my imagination.
I gripped my stomach, and fell to my knees, and the twins ran over.
"Aaliyah? Are you okay?" Alexandria Asked. "Is it happening again?"
"I'm okay.." I Said, trying to stand up, my legs slightly wobbly.
My stomach still hurt, but I carried on with sweeping the floor, humming to the music.
Just like my aunt had said, it was probably just my imagination.
