I twisted and turned in my bed all night waiting for sleep to come but to my utter dismay, it didn't come. Plenty of things are going on in my mind and I am tired of everything. I was already carrying so much in my mind and now after caring few more things have piled up. I think my breaking point is coming but I don't want to lose it. I can't!
By 4 in the morning, I couldn't take it anymore and stood up from my bed as I make my way towards Caleb's room, a habit that I am used to. If I can't sleep I will go to one of my brother's rooms but mostly to Caleb's, he has this motherly warmth in him that always calms me.
I tiptoed into his room and found him sleeping, his snores could be heard in the room. A giggle escape my mouth but I covered it immediately to not wake him up. But I know he is a light speaker just like me. I made my way toward his bed, one arm was covering his eyes and the other was on his stomach. He slept without the blanket, I sighed and pulled up the blanket, and covered him with it. He moved a little but didn't wake up.
Then I laid down on his other side and held his arm that was on his stomach. After a moment or so I was asleep as I expected.
"I didn't know we were having a sleepover!" Someone complained, I opened my eyes while rubbing them and I found Noah standing near the bed with a small frown. By now Caleb also woke up, I snuggle up to his side as I hide my face inside the pillow. Noah had opened the curtain and now the light is falling straight into my eyes.
"Come on wake up, you just don't come here after months to sleep" he was a little annoyed but I groaned at him.
"Let me sleep, I finally could sleep peacefully after so many days" I didn't know what I said until I felt Caleb tense beside me and Noah got so silent.
"And why you couldn't sleep?" He asked with worry. Oh God!
"I had a test and an assignment for which I had to wake up all night," I lied through my teeth. Both of them didn't believe me that I can tell but I know they won't say it now.
"Wake up, you haven't eaten last night. Let's have breakfast. Go Caleb make some breakfast for us" he ordered and I am sure Caleb is glaring at him.
"No Kay is not going anywhere, you go and make breakfast for us," I said as I held kay's arm tightly. Caleb chuckled and patted my head with his other hand.
"Promise me you will eat my burned toast and runny eggs," Noah said in amusement and I grimaced at the memory of when he made breakfast for us. And let me tell you it wasn't edible at all.
"No thank you!" I said and pushed Caleb to wake up. He tsked at me.
"You are so mean, Muffin!" He sighed and I giggled at him.
"I am hungry!" I pouted and gave him my puppy eyes. He ruffled my hair that are already a bird's nest.
"Okay be down in 10 minutes!" He told me and walked to his bathroom. I felt Noah sitting beside me. I turn around and placed my head on his lap. He gently caressed my hair trying to remove the knots.
"Would they be okay?" I asked him, he sighed but didn't say anything.
"I don't know!" He said and I opened my eyes. I sat up and put my head on his shoulder. I felt like crying while in their presence. I want to cry and tell them how much pain I am in. But I know what they will do, they will find Mr handsome and kill him for breaking my heart. Now I realize why they didn't want me to have a boyfriend until 21. They were right when they said that I am too young for that.
But then again you won't learn until you go through it. It is my first heartbreak and it hurts like hell.
"You guys are still here!" Caleb came from the bathroom and looked at us. I didn't realize I was crying. From this angle, Noah couldn't see but Caleb saw my tears. He gave me a confused look. I immediately wiped my tears away and pleaded with him with my eyes to not talk about it. He looked unsettled but still let it go.
"I am leaving!" I said and jogged out of the room without looking at any of them. I know he will ask questions now. The questions I had no answers to. I don't want to be that girl who comes to their family after every small problem.
If my brothers had spoiled me and always taken care of me, they had also made me a strong girl. They have always taught me to stand up for myself. I was sheltered but I was also given the chance to make decisions for myself. They only speak on those matters which I can't understand or take care of. If they don't like anything they would calmly make me understand where I am going wrong.
I remember the one time when I was being bullied at school by a boy, he would make fun of me saying I am an orphan and my parents left me because they didn't like me. I came crying at home and told my brothers about it. Noah took me to that boy's home and told me to hit him, not so good of him but it was his way of telling me that sometimes I have to deal with my problems myself. And I broke that boy's nose after that he never bullied me.
Caleb scolded both of us and had to deal with the boy's parents but I also know he was a little proud of me too. I know that they are always standing beside me wherever I go and whatever I do. And also will I!
I came down and found both of them in the kitchen, they were talking about business. I said good morning to both of them and filled our glasses with juice. I didn't realize that they are quiet and watching me. I looked up at both of them.
"What?" I asked them.
"When are you telling us?" He asked and I gulped.
"About what?" My voice wavers a little.
"What happened, Muffin? Why are you so sad?" He asked and I looked away.
"It's nothing, and I am not sad. I just missed you guys" I said the half-truth.
"I thought that New York would be a good change for me but... I guess it's not." I told them as I sat down on the chair by the counter.
"You can always come back here," Noah said and I smiled at him.
"It's not a joke Noah, and what about my studies?" I asked him. He thinks it's too easy.
"You can pursue your studies here," he said.
"And I have to wait a year for the admission to start," I told him. I don't waste my time.
"It's okay, I am okay. And everything will be okay with time" I assured them but both of them weren't convinced. It was Caleb who walked to me and put his hand on my head.
"We trust you!" He said. I looked at Noah, he sighed and nodded. I smiled at both of them. Then we ate our breakfast while talking.
I stood as I told them that I have to go somewhere. Noah said he would drop me so we walked out.
"Let's go on your bike," I said and he smiled widely.
I sat behind him tightly clutching him but my mind goes back to the time I sat behind hunter and an involuntary smile came on my face. He rode fast but when he was with me both times he was careful, a little.
"Where to?" He asked.
"To Lily's!" I told him and I expected him to argue with me but he only sighed and murmured.
"You are impossible!" He said and I giggled at him.
"Thank you," I said.
"If she said anything bad to you, just leave. Okay!" He said as I was about to walk toward her door.
"Noah!" I groaned as I glared at him. "Just go I will come home myself" I told him and walked inside as the maid opens the door.
