The Lily Underground

11

Okay I'm the kind of person that when given something is not ungrateful. With the life I've lived I can't afford being ungrateful but as I step into the room that is apparently mine, I wanted to well it's better if I don't say it but lets just say that everything was pink, pink bedsheets, pink pillows, pink carpets, pink... ok I think you get the idea.

Xander stands leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed "so do you like your new room?" he asks while I'm standing in the middle of my new room analyzing just how pink everything is "yeah I guess", I say hesitating but then I hear Xander chuckle "don't worry this isn't your room I just wanted to see your reaction".

"if it's not my room, and if I don't remember wrong, I don't have a sister so either a girl lives here or one my brothers is totally in to pink?"

"well a girl does live here, and actually I brought you to this room to tell you something you may not like to hear". Xander who till now stood at the door frame takes a step in  "you see Miya after dad and mom separated dad married another woman years after"..

At those words a squeezing feeling was left in my chest it felt like someone was about to rip my heart apart, but Xander continued "you see this woman whose name is Evelyn already had a girl from another marriage, and yeah this is her room" I was just starring at Xander with an emotionless expression and then I was hit with a stream of thoughts.

How, how could this be true didn't mom and dad love each other?  how could dad leave my mom and I just to get married to another woman this just does not make any sense. Standing in front of Xander I wanted to cry, I was about to cry but I wouldn't allow for that to happen.

I tried to clear my throat "so how old is this girl?".

Xander was examining my face trying to figure out how I was reacting to the news but I'm sure he couldn't he tell a thing.  "She's 16, and her name is Ava", " and where is Ava now" I asked.

"well she's with Evelyn and dad while he takes care of some work in New York"

- I was pissed so my dad apparently has time for a business trip with his new wife and daughter having an awesome time, while the daughter he hasn't seen for years shows up - great dad, what was I expecting?

I simply nodded at Xander's words. Finally Xander took me, to my room it was placed on the second floor and it had the most beautiful view. Just like the livingroom I could see the forest man it was so breathtaking and it dulled the anger I felt.

Other than that the room had plain white walls a nice big bed in the middle and a huge closet which was going to look empty with the little amount of clothes I have.

"Do you want me to send someone that can help you pack everything out or -" "its fine" I said quickly "I dont have a lot of things to pack out anyways "

---

I was starting to regret saying the words "I dont have a lot of things to pack out anyways ", apparently I have a lot of things that when scattered around my apartment looked like nothing but when having to pack it out is nightmare.

At 6.50 PM I was still packing things out meaning I had spent nearly 3 hours just emptying cardboard boxes.

I heard a knock on the door "hei it's me" from the voice I could tell it was Liam, "yeah come in".

Liam hesitantly opened the door "Miya dinner is being served in ten minutes just so you know" he quickly scanned the room "oh wait you're still packing your things out" .

Liam quickly entered the room to help me "who is this he asked" while looking at the photo I had placed on my nightstand "oh that's Luca",  "and who is this Luca to you" he says while lifting an eyebrow was this really how my brothers were going to act?.

"Just some guy I knew" I know that Luca was not just someone I knew he was my brother, but I was not going to tell them that. My actual brothers had no right to know I would tell them when I wanted to do so.

Liam didn't ask more questions afterwards,  I guess he could tell that I wasn't going to let him know more about me than he needed to.

And we still hadn't packed everything out when we went to dinning room - I would take care of the rest tomorrow.

---

When Liam and I entered the dinning room everyone was there, I guess because Zack was the oldest he sat at the end of the table. Liam sat on the side, closest to Zack while I sat beside Liam with Xander in front of me and Niko sat in in front of Liam.

All of the food looked so good but at the same time there was so much of it, we're only five people I thought.

While I munching on some food Zack looked at me "So Miya what do you do in your free time? do you have any hobbies?"

Yeah I was not about to burst out the fact that I do/did underground fighting but what was I going to say? "ohhm I don't really have any but I did really enjoy my time at ChildCare". Zack looked at me "dad did tell us that you worked there" I coughed how did they know that? "how do you guys that I worked there" Zack's face turned guilty as if he just realized that he had spoiled a little secret.

"Miya it wasn't entirely by coincidence  that Xander and Liam were able to save you a few days ago. You see, dad had hired someone to find you, and the work you do at ChildCare was how we could track you".

Was I hearing this correctly they had literally hired someone to find me! what the hell. Normally my face dosen't have any extreme emotions showing but this time all of my brothers could tell how messed up I thought it was.

Xander who hadn't said much all dinner looked at me "I can see you find it weird Miya but the truth is, when we heard mother had died all those years ago, and that you had lived all these years alone we had to find you to make sure you were safe".

I didn't say much the food on my plate had turned cold I was feeling extremely off - this was becoming too much.

My brothers are extremely rich, they hire people to find you there are several men walking around suits and why the hell is there so much food!

I knew that these emotions were coming primarily from the fact that all my life, I have lived an extremely normal existence and all of sudden my brothers show up asking me about my life and how they want me to be safe, well if that was the case then why, why did they let mom and I go!?

So I asked them that question, I looked Zack straight into his eyes "then why did dad let mom and I go if my safety is the most important thing for you guys!?"
