living with the Preston boys

Chapter 2 - who are you?!

I was woken up by the unfamiliar sounds around me. I opened my eyes. I was a little tiny window to my right and a women on my left....holy crap...was I on a plane?! My eyes immediately snatched open and I looked around. The women next to me gave me a small smile.

"You must be Ellie-" she started but I cut her off.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Where's my mom?" I questioned her, my eyes not leaving hers.

"Sweetie...your mom...I'm sorr-" again, I cut her off.

"Where is she?!"

"She...she died... Sweetie I'm so sorry"

No...my mind couldn't take it in. My mom wasn't dead. Not my mom. Not my sweet, caring mom. This was a dream. It had to be.

"And...you are?" I asked shyly.

"I'm Anne Preston and I'm your legal guardian" she answered sweetly. "I have 12 kids. You'll love them!"

"Sure...ummm are they just girls?" I asked.

"No...just boys..." She said. What?! I'm going to be living with 12 boys?! No way!

So there was Ethan, the oldest who was 23.

Jack and Lee were twins and they were 20.

Joseph was 18 and was disabled although he could still swim.

Corey and Mike were also twins, however, not identical. They were 17. A year older than me.

Chase was 16 and was a soccer player.

Adam and Eddie were 15 and were not twins.

Then there was Joey. He was 13 and loved painting.

And finally Jake and Blake who were 4 and they were identical twins.

When the plane arrived, we waited for the taxi and hopped in.

When we arrived, I hopped out of the taxi and looked around. In front of me was a massive house! It had more than 3 floors and a massive garden. I picked up two of my bags and looked helplessly on Anne.

"Corey! Come out here please!" She shouted. A minute later a tall, brown haired boy came out of the house. God, he was gorgeous...Ellie! Concentrate!

"Who are you?" He snapped, and I immediately felt awkward.

"Corey! She's Ellie and will be staying with us from now on! Stop being so rude!" She spat.

"Sorry" Corey mumbled and grabbed one of my bags. After we stepped in I was met by a bunch of good looking guys...shirtless.

"Boys! Get dressed and be down in 5 minutes! Corey, show Ellie her room." Anne said. "Ellie, sweetie, you don't mind if corey shows you your room, do you?"

"Of course not, Mrs Preston" I said.

"Oh call me Annie! I feel old when people call me Mrs Preston" she laughed and I smiled at her.

Well, let the tour begin...
