the four types of soulmates

four

That night I couldn't sleep. My brain was on over drive from the recent events. I didn't understand much about what happened or how my brothers explained it. I understand that they have enemies and that their job is hard hence why I know nothing but something that they do doesn't sit right with me.

I turned over to read my alarm clock sitting on my bed side table. 5:46am. The sun was just starting to rise in the distance. I knew my brothers would be up soon, either working out or having one of their meeting things they have every morning.

Taking a sigh I got up from my bed. I pushed open my curtains before walking into my bathroom. I stood there for a minute just looking at my reflection. My hair was curly as always, my skin was whiter then usual. I need a tanning day asap. I stripped from my clothes and hopped into the shower. I let the hot water wash away the events that happened yesterday. I trust my brothers; I know they wouldn't let anything happen too me. right?

I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. I wasn't ready to get ready for the day yet, so I grabbed one of my bothers hoddies and a pair of pyjama shorts. Grabbing my phone off the bed side table I made my way downstairs.

I heard 4 voices in the dining room. Jonah, Preston, Graham, and Spencer. I sat on the last step listening to there conversation.

''Are we going to talk about what happened yesterday? How the fuck did they even get on the property? Where were the security?'' Graham asked.

All the boys were quiet for a second before spencer spoke up.

''Whoever they were had a hacker to hack into the security systems that's why none of us got an message. I've hacked back into the system, but they cleared it. all our files are still there they haven't been touched so whoever broken in wasn't looking for important documents they were targeting us personally.'' my heart beat slowly start to rise, someone was out to get my family. Why?

''Who have you pissed off Jonah?'' Preston asked in a sigh tone.

''Who the fuck do you think? I've broken off like 15 deals in the last week. All the people I broke deals with are probably out to get me. I might need to call in some favours. Good thing we have the ball on for Juliet's 17 I can make a speech.''

''Are we sure that's a good idea after yesterday? Remember we don't know who tried killing us? what happens if that are at the ball and actually succeed, what are we supposed to do then? We can't get Juliet involved in what we do, not yet anyways.'' I think I was going to be sick. Correct I am going to be sick.

I rushed up the stairs and ran into my bathroom, thankfully making it there on time before I chucked my guts up. I heard someone come into my room. I shut my door quickly before locking it.

''Jules are you ok? I saw you running in here, everything good?'' Felix.

''Yeah Lix I'm good, just need a minute.''

''Are you sure?''

Was I sure? Absolutely not.
Does he need to know that? No.

''Yeah. I'll be out in a sec; I'll meet you downstairs.'' I heard Felix walk away. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding in.

I sat on the floor for a few minutes contemplating my life. Wiping my mouth I stood up, flushed the toilet, and made my way over the vanity. I rested my hands on the counter my head naturally hanging low. What the fuck was a supposed to do now? Play dumb and pretend I have no idea what's going on? Confront my brothers about what I heard and get in serious trouble for ears dropping. I let out a short laugh and made my way back downstairs. We all knew what I was going to pick.

I took a deep breath in before entering the dining room where all my brothers sat.

''Good morning.'' I said making myself known.

''I was about to get and get you, Want to go shopping today?'' Preston asked from his seat.

''Yeah, I don't mind.'' I yelled from the kitchen. I grabbed my coffee cup and sat down at the table.

''Are you sure you don't want to stay home, are you feeling ok?'' Felix asked. All heads turned to me. fuck.

''Yeah Felix I'm ok. I just needed to freshen up before I came downstairs.'' I gave him a smile before taking a sip from my cup.

''Jules what's Felix talking about?'' Jonah asked putting down his newspaper.

''Guys I'm fine. It's just that time of the month and sometimes I don't feel the best when I wake up. we are ok now. Preston I would love to go shopping. I was wondering could we leave soon I have a few things I want to get before the ball.''

Was I lying? Yes. Did I save my ass from getting caught lying? Also yes.

''Of course. Any of you guys want to come with us?'' Preston asked the boys.

''Elliot and I will.'' Felix said putting his arm of his twin.

''No we won't.'' Elliot replied.

''We are end of discussion.'' Elliot rolled his eyes at his twin before turning to Preston. ''Fine I'll go.''

''Perfect, Hugo?'' I snapped my head to Hugo. I hate picking favourites, but he was one of my favourites.

''Yeah I'll go let me freshen up before we leave.'' Preston nodded his head before standing up.

''What about you guys? Coming to spend time with you little sister?'' Spencer, Jonah, and Graham all looked at me before the two boys looked back to Jonah.

''Kleines mädchen, the boys and I have some important work things to do today so we will be pretty busy. I'm so sorry Mein Liebling we all are.'' I nodded my head wondering if I should push it a little further. Again, we all know I did. (baby girl)(my love)

''Is it about yesterday?'' I kept my eyes focused on the cup in my hand, suddenly wishing I didn't say anything. oh well.

''Unfortunately, yes, we have to go the warehouse and check some things and do boring paperwork.'' I nodded my head, standing up from where I was sitting.

''I'm going to go and get ready then.'' All the boys were looking at me. Clearly, they weren't expecting that.

I walked into my wardrobe and took a look at the clothes in front of me I wanted something super casual and super comfy because today I was not thriving. I grabbed a pair of black track pants and a white crop top. I left my hair down in its natural state, I just couldn't be fucked.

I heard my name being called from downstairs. I rushed to put my shoes on, nearly falling over multiple times. ''I'M COMING!''

''Jules can I talk to you for a sec?'' I poked my head out of my bathroom to see Jonah sitting on me bed.

''What? The boys are going to get mad at me.'' the toothbrush in my mouth was stopping me to complete that sentence to the full.

''Spit out your toothpaste before speaking to me. I'll talk to them.'' Jonah had his stern ''father'' voice on. I spat out my toothpaste before sitting in front of Jonah.

''Are you ok? like honestly, truthfully?'' I don't know why I wasn't prepared for this chat.

''Yeah I'm ok, I promise.'' I gave him a smile, reassuring him I was ok.

''I know your lying to me Juliet. Is it about what happened yesterday because if it is I completely understand where you're coming from.'' I just sat there I didn't know what to say or what to do. I didn't want to talk about it. I wasn't ok but they promised that wouldn't happen again so I'm ok. right?

''Jonah. I promise I'm ok. I don't feel ready to have this conversation right now. I'll see you when you get back from work ok?'' I stood up and gave my biggest brother a hug.

''I love you Juliet.''

''I love you too.''
