His ways.

Home where the roses die.

                                                                 Chapter one

The black Mercedes rattled on the pebbled road, the ride went on as I looked out the dark window and watched as the trees past, tracing my finger tips on the window as if trying to stroke a leaf. "We have arrived Ms. Thron." Sebastian announced snapping me out of my day dream. As I nodded at Sebastian's manners at holding my door open I gulped, the mansion looked even larger than before. "Ms. Thron I shall bring in your luggage while you settle in, would you like me to accompany you?" Smiling at Sebastian, Kylie kissed his cheek startling the driver.

"I'm sure I can manage." Walking up the stairs I relished one change in this house, the red rose's were no longer growing up the sides of the house, but rather thorns were growing instead, ironic really. As I walked inside the Vance house, the lay out was the same. White Marble tiles lined the floor, a beautiful chandelier lit above Kylie from the tall ceilings and a staircase led to the rooms upstairs. But a Greek shaped hall way lead to the kitchen and living room where I would always spend my times. 

Walking into the kitchen I opened up the fridge and starting rummaging threw trying to find my ingredients for a ham sandwich. Suddenly the lights turned on scaring myself. "Shit!" I gasped, mother fucker I just dropped my mayo. Turning around I was greeted by my youngest brother, Eden. "Kylie, is that you?" rubbing his eyes. I dropped my things and ran into Eden's arms squealing and hugging him so tight that he was coughing. 

Letting go I kept my hands on my brothers shoulders inspecting him, his brown hair was now longer with his bed head mess, two o'clock shadow accompanied his jaw, his bottom lip was pierced and he wore a white tee and sweat pants and he was tall really tall, my baby brother had grown up and looked like a little pimp. 

"Eden whats with this, are you a little pimp now." I cooed messing up his hair more.                            "Nope, just a little curious as to why you have arrived." He accused.                                                 "That's heart breaking bro, I thought you would of known by now."                                                     "Known what." Walking back to the fridge I picked up my things and put them away, grabbing an apple. "That I got kicked out of boarding school, I thought Chris or the others would have told you."  Chris was our Father the man who had enough money to think that his kids were happy to just let him shower it over us, mum never did that.

"Fuck, no one ever tells me anything in this house." Eden groaned running his hand through his hair.     "Where is Chris any way?"                                                                                                                 "Apparently at some business trip in Norway, that he has been on for three months now."                     "What an asshole." I took a bite out of my apple while Eden nodded turning around.                              

"KYLIE'S HOME!!!!!!" my idiotic brothers shouted hugging both me and Eden. We groaned as Kyle, Dan and Marcus all squeezed the life out of Eden and I.                                                             "Help, Help I'm dying." I laughed as the tall figures hugged tighter. The boys let go and I was out of breath. "Just a sec." I gasped. The boys laughed and smacked my back. Making my apple fall out of my palm."I thought you were coming tomorrow we had a party and everything in plan!" Dan frowned.   "I didn't want to wait another minute in that hell hole so I called Sebastian to pick me up at the station." I crouched down and retrieved my apple before throwing it the metal bin next to the fridge, what's with these boys and ruining my food. 

I inspected the boys as they bickered about the party tomorrow. Kyle was Edens twin and although they looked alike over the years Kyle and Edens appearance changed. Kyle had black raven hair like my own that was styled like super man's hair, we teased him about when were much younger. Kyle had a strong jaw line and green cat like eyes and like Eden had a lip piercing, he was the same height as Eden but looked like he bulked up. Dan was my age and shared my blue eyes, he had dirty blonde hair and unlike the two others he did not have a piercing, he only wore his sweat pants a cross was  tattooed on his hip that read the roman numerals of mums passing above it.

Marcus was the oldest at twenty years and was two years older than me. He was a exact replica of Chris, he had his brown hair, green eyes, high cheek bones and jaw. He was taller than when I last saw him, two years ago and he looked 6'. I was always jealous of the boys because as they were tall I was short at 5'2 I had inherited my mothers looks and height. 

"Kylie!" Kyle yelled, snapping me back to reality.                                                                               "What!" I shouted alarmed.                                                                                                              "Your spacing off." Eden said.                                                                                                         Marcus placed the back of his hand on my forehead to inspect my temperature. "Are you okay Kylie we can take you to bed if you want." Marcus spoke softly. I yawned and wiped my eyes as I tried to speak but struggled with another yawn. "I'll take that as a yes." I nodded and Marcus crouched down. When we were younger Marcus would always carry me on his back when I was tired and it was a gesture I became used to. I climbed on his back as he locked his arms on my thighs. "Off to my bed slave!" Marcus laughed and ran out of the kitchen and up the staircase, trailing behind us was the boys as they tumbled over each other to make it to the top first.

We were already at the top when Dan jumped over a falling Kyle and sprinted up the stairs.                  "Hell yeah I am the winner!" he yelled in victory. The twins slugged in defeat up the stairs clearly upset. "My head hurts." Kyle groaned.                                                                                               "Dan stepped on my back Kylie." Eden moaned. I laughed and checked my watch it was offically 2 o'clock in the morning which was now clearly Saturday. "Come on guys lets head to bed, why are you even up this late anyway?" They all started whistling while Marcus laughed.                                  "We pulled out COD." They all said out once.                                                                                   "You still do that?" I questioned.                                                                                                      

"Never mind that." Marcus said pulling open my bedroom door which was on the right hand side last door. It looked all looked the same, floor to glass windows, grey carpet, dark wooden stairs were at the far end in the room were the windows were the leather coaches looked out to the woods the wooden floor boards rested underneath. Marcus and the boys led me to my bed which was grey and white, simple but nice. My suit cases laid at the end of the queen sized bed. Marcus switched on the lamp on my night stand. Eden pulled back the covers and Marcus sat on the bed so I could hop off. 

I chucked my chucks on the ground and laid on my back as Kyle and Dan pulled the covers to my chin. "Can you grab my charger out of the front zip int the red suit case please." I smiled at Eden as he grabbed my charger. I reached in my sweat pants back pocket and got my phone out checking if my alarm was still on at 6:00. Eden plugged my charger in and I set my phone on the stand connected to the charger. I smiled as everyone stared at me.

And suddenly I was crying really crying. "I missed you guys so much." I cried as I broke down.            "Dd-ad sent me away and I-I didn't know-" I was cut off by Marcus as he shh me.                            "Your back home that all that matters." his voice soft as he wiped my tears.                                       "And now that your back we aren't letting Chris take you away." They all whisperedN.                            I can't really remember what happened afterwards, but the first time in two years I was happy and Chris wasn't going to tear me from my brothers again.
