Chapter • 19 - Playing Games

Today my brothers let me stay home from school. Plus it's the end of the week so it doesn't really matter.

I look in the mirror and spot my purple busted lip. It's swollen but I bet what she has is much worse so I think I'm good.

I mean I understand what James is saying about me handling it differently. They want me to be different, not like them and the mafia.

They still want me to have nothing to do with it which sucks. I want to help find our fathers killer.

It's the least I could do.

I feel bad for not feeling much sympathy. I don't even know the man, but my brothers did and I wanna do this for them.

"Hey Kim." I hear from the doorway and I peak my head out of the bathroom to see Oliver.

"Hi olive." I reply and he rolls his eyes. Ironic considering he absolutely hates olives. He told me that a couple of days ago and I haven't let it go.

"We all want to spend some time together after how busy we have been lately. Up for a game of monopoly and board games?" He grins and I return it.

"Everyone?" I question him with my eyebrows raised.

"Well, Liam and Leo needed a little convincing." He scratches his head, laughing nervously.

"Yeah I'll join." I Smile back at him and he lets out a breath he has been holding. He walks over to me.

"That lip looks pretty bad." He says worriedly and it's my turn to roll my eyes.

"Thanks, I haven't noticed." I sarcastically reply and he does a no thing with his fingers.

"Remember the rules. No sarcasm too." He grins and I pout.

"These rules are crazy and unjust. Can't you guys stretch them a little for your poor little sister?" I bat my eyelashes and make a 'please' face.

He thinks to himself for a bit before shaking his head no and I huff.

Leo is 17 and has more freedom than me. But I don't say that because It'll probably cause more problems. I'm already in trouble for yesterday.

"Keep that ice pack on your lip. The more you do it the faster it heals." He adds and I nod my head. I turn around and grab the ice pack on my dresser and place it on my lip.

I wince at the coldness but love the feeling of relief from the pain.

"Now let's go down and meet the others in the living room. Did you enjoy breakfast?" He asks me as we both head out the door.

"Yeah it was great! Who made it?"

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." He replies laughing.

Why wouldn't I believe him? "Just tell me!" I reply and he chuckles again.

"The lovely Liam made it." And I keep walking in shock. Liam made breakfast? Wow that's a new one.

We both eventually get to the living room and I see all the boys sitting on the couches. James looks annoyed by the rambling of Leo and Liam. They are like twins at different ages.

Always at each other's back.

As I get closer I can hear Leo complaining to Liam.

"I'm always the horse! You can't just suddenly take it and claim it as yours!" He shouts at Liam angrily and Liam just rolls his eyes not bothering to reply.

Maybe I'll be nice to Leo. I walk over and they both stare and me as I bend down and pick up the dog.

"Here you go Leo. This is my favorite, I want you to have it." I tell him and drop it in his hand.
