Chapter • 9 - Rules to follow

I grab mouthwash from the shelf and rinse my mouth then grab the pain killers from underneath the mirror.

Nobody has seen them yet because they respect my privacy here, which I'm so lucky to have and so grateful for.

Also I don't think they've noticed the pain I'm in from my ribs. It seems like it's getting a little better which means they are healing but I just have to keep it hidden until it's gone.

Easier said than done!

I quickly pop two pills in my mouth and swallow it with some sink water. After I finish swallowing them I wash my face with cold water so my tiredness goes down the drain. I grab my slippers by the toilet and slip them on before heading to the kitchen.

I reach up and grab a cup off the counter that says "too good to be true."

Sounds like something Oliver would have.

I pour some coffee that looks like it's been there since yesterday morning but I don't mind. I'm just glad I'm getting something.

And I hope they don't mind too. I'm not one to touch stuff without asking. If I was back home I'd be punished for it. But I guess I've just been getting comfortable here...

I start making breakfast since it looks like everyone is still sleeping. Today I woke up really early around 4 am. I couldn't sleep from the reminders of yesterday.

That guys face is in my dreams and I don't want to see it so I stood awake reading a book I found.

I decided on some scrambled eggs with tofu. And don't say tofu is disgusting. It tastes soooo good, especially with tortillas.

I finish cooking up the breakfast when I hear footsteps coming from the hallway that are getting closer. I quickly finish putting the food on the plates before I turn around to meet my grumpy and very tired brother, Leo.

"Good morning!" I say while smiling at him but he doesn't look like he is in the mood.

"Good morning." He replies lifting his head a little to look behind me. I can see a little smile tug up from his lips as he spots the food on the plates.

"What's that for?" He points to the food.

"Oh that! I just thought I would make you guys breakfast. It's the least I could do for letting me stay here."

His smile drops down for some reason but he shakes it off. I wonder if I said anything wrong...

He walks over and grabs a plate then sits down at the table. "Thank you." He muttered before eating.

I then hear multiple footsteps coming this way and it sounds like everybody has awoken.

The rest of my brothers come marching into the kitchen but freezing when they see Leo and I.

"Now look at who we have here! Good morning familia." Oliver shouts for the whole room to hear. I wave at him and he smiles. He turns to Leo expecting the same reaction but we all know how that went.

He just kept eating.

Oliver huffed but walked over to me and picked up a plate.

"Did you make this?" He asks me while stuffing his face with eggs.

"I did, it was nothing really.." I quietly say looking down to my feet. I'm not good at keeping eye contact, plus it's awkward and weird.

"No it's everything. Thank you." He replies while patting me on the head for no reason.

The other two grab a plate and sit down too, starting to munch on the food.

Finally I grab one and sit between Liam and James. The two most intimidating people here!
